    I own a 2022 Model S Plaid and all I can say is it is the best car I have ever owned in my life. This includes everything from Luxury sedans to my once beloved 911 Cab. It is fast, attractive and seats 5 :-)

    My second Tesla, first was a 2020 model Y.

    My second Tesla, first was a 2020 model Y. Loved the S since day one. No issues on anything except resale value. Tesla has lower the price $20,000 in last two years. But the car is almost perfect! The latest version of FSD is almost perfect as well, much better than version 11 which apparently is what a previous reviewer has. Does require a little getting use to steering yoke because blinker stalk is missing.

    my exercine on the 2022 tesla model s habcback rig

    the 20222 tesla model s is pretty much a nice car but the thing is thta the interior is very samlll and some peoaple may not fit completely. the model s has a very nice dieghn in sense of the eterior or the lights. the lights look nice as welll and they are oerfect in sahpe. it is very quick and it might get you to places more faster more than you think. but the rice is way more xpensive and it does not have goood relibality. but it si great car and at least it is not as bad as the other normal hactbacks in thus world. but I would sya the hyudniay hatcback was way better. but the model s is a fine vhecle but I would like the rpice to be more down and I also want the interior to be more wider. it looks to smalll and does not fit anyone except for mabey 30 year olds. but it is a fine car but it needs imrpovemnts on the intetior and the amount of space in it.

    A SuperCar You Can Drive Everyday

    Although I see some comments about bad service at Tesla Service Centers, I have had nothing but great experiences at the South Austin location and the build quality on my car is fantastic. The Plaid model is the bargain of the century when comparing the same performance and quality of the ICE SuperCars. I absolutely love it and love the fact that I can use it as my daily driver and have lush road trips and still have the acceleration of a fighter jet. And..........when you have the safety features turned on, you can have fun and be assured that the massively powerful acceleration will not cause you to spin out and crash the car. I have found that it is nearly impossible to get yourself into trouble with this car.........unless it is a speeding ticket! :))

    Closest you can get to F16

    I bought the car three month ago. Took some time to get used to no buttons or yoke steering wheel. Now I love the car and I think this is the best car I ever had. The quality of the car is decent, interior and exterior looks solid and is made out of good quality materials. My only complaint is quality control at Tesla. My particular car had some rattle coming from the back seat, which was fixed by tesla for free, but this is not something you can allow for the vehicle with price tag over 100k.

    Exhilarating performance. Terrible build quality.

    Exhilarating performance. Terrible build quality and service. Performance is among the best in class if not the best, that ends there. Yoke takes time to get used to, ok for regular street driving but terrible for parking lot and emergency maneuvers. Fit and finish of the vehicle is pathetic, upon delivery I had over 10 defects and wiring was sticking out the window trim, some clearcoat came off at the edge. Cost cutting everywhere with no buttons or switches even on basic essential items. Service center experience is pulling teeth and beyond frustrating, locations are super packed with cars need to be fixed and service staff will try to decline service appointments at first and have you do self diagnostic and software resets, no loaner cars or shuttle available. Auto pilot is a joke, jack rabbit starts, phantom braking, jerky lane changes, basically a 12 years old with no license driving, summon works 20% of the time. For the price they charge for these cars it's more hassle than it's worth, Tesla has a long way to go to call themselves "Premium Electric Cars". Do yourself a favor if you have $100k+ get yourself a true luxury brand vehicle, electric or gas.

    Best car (& fastest accelerating car under $3m:-)

    Pluses: 1. Jaw-droppingly fast, well into triple-digit speeds 2. Quiet/solid construction feel 3. Amazing range 4. Very efficient, even in winter driving 5. Improved rear seating and space compared to previous version Minuses: A. While extremely well equipped (everything is standard), it is expensive at initial purchase (TCO is far less expensive than ICE competition, however.) B. Yoke is growing on me, and is preferred for long drives. But is still exasperating for parallel parking and traffic circles (mostly due to turn signals being selected by buttons instead of a stalk).
