TESLA MODEL S REVIEW AFTER 10 MONTHS

EV Channels Review

After 10 months and 24,000 miles, the Tesla Model S Plaid proves to be an incredible, albeit imperfect, flagship sedan. The reviewer highlights the exhilarating performance, responsive software, and premium sound system as major positives, making it a joy for long drives. The yoke steering wheel, initially a point of contention, is praised for its comfort and improved instrument cluster visibility. However, the review doesn't shy away from significant drawbacks. Issues like a non-functional rear-seat gaming, a poorly placed blind-spot camera, and a touch-sensitive horn that lacks a physical backup are noted. Furthermore, the reviewer experienced delivery issues, a front trunk sensor malfunction, and persistent rattles, which are unacceptable for a luxury vehicle. While the car excels in performance and road-tripping capabilities, potential buyers are cautioned against purchasing based on promised future software updates, particularly regarding gaming and the horn functionality.
