As a long-term owner, Marques’ latest review of the Model S Plaid reveals that he is overall still happy with the vehicle, stating “It’s one of very few EVs I could live with daily, considering all the road trips I make for ultimate frisbee.”
Among the things he still rightly praises the car for are the impressive acceleration, which makes it among the quickest production cars in the world, keeping up with the likes of the Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren P1, and the ample interior storage that belie the vehicle’s incredible performance.
However, according to Brownlee, the interior design is the vehicle’s biggest weakness. In Tesla’s quest to design the most futuristic-looking vehicle around, it removed basically any tactile feedback from the user experience, including any stalks behind the steering wheel yoke. To make matters worse, the touch-sensitive blinkers on the steering wheel are reportedly unresponsive a lot of the time, even when you have adjusted to the interface.
Aside from buttons, range estimates and battery degradation were complaints as well. While Tesla claims a range of 396 miles, Marques states that this has not been realistic, with his real-world range coming out to 360 miles when driving conservatively, and battery degradation putting the new range closer to 315 miles. As testing by InsideEVs showed, Tesla is prone to overstating the range on its vehicles by around 10%, so MKBHD’s assertions make sense, although 315 miles isn’t bad all things considered.
I’ve put 30,000 miles on Tesla’s flagship Model S PLAID in a year and a half. There are some things that I love, and some that I hate ????????????
