EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the Tesla Model S Plaid, highlighting its astonishing acceleration as its primary, game-changing feature. He emphasizes that its 0-60 mph time of under 2 seconds and quarter-mile times in the 9-second range make it faster than any other production car ever. While praising the car's technological advancements, such as the yoke steering wheel, hidden vents, and extensive infotainment system with gaming capabilities, DeMuro points out significant drawbacks. He criticizes the interior and exterior build quality, citing paint imperfections and problematic door handles, which he feels are unacceptable for a car in this price bracket, especially when compared to traditional luxury rivals. Despite these quality concerns and a less engaging handling experience compared to smaller sports cars, the Model S Plaid's sheer speed, practicality, and innovative features earn it a very high Doug Score, positioning it as a benchmark for high-performance sedans.
