EV Channels Review

This video revisits a 2017 Tesla Model S 100D with over 130,000 miles, highlighting its impressive longevity and build quality. The reviewer praises this generation of Model S, particularly its round steering wheel, physical stalks, and dual-display setup, suggesting it offers a more premium driving experience than newer models. Despite some expected battery degradation (estimated 10-15%), the car exhibits remarkably few creaks or rattles, outperforming even the reviewer's 2022 Model S in this regard. Key upgrades like the MCU2 infotainment system are noted as essential for maintaining a modern feel. While charging speeds are a limitation of the 100 kWh pack, the overall conclusion is that this 2017 Model S is a highly recommended used EV, especially for those prioritizing build quality and a classic driving experience over the latest features.
