The Unrelenting Joy of Tesla's Plaid Model S: A Love Story

For me, it was never supposed to be this way. I had fallen in love with the idea of owning an electric sedan, but my expectations were far from romantic. I thought I would get rid of my new Tesla Model S Plaid after six months, and that was only because I was so underwhelmed by its performance. But as it turns out, my feelings for this car have grown stronger with each passing day. Every time I drive it, I'm reminded of why I fell in love with it in the first place: its ability to take me on insane road trips in extreme comfort is truly a work of art.

One feature that stands out in particular is Autopilot. Yes, you read that right – Autopilot. It's not just a safety feature; it's an experience. The way it smoothly navigates the road, adapting to every curve and bump with ease, is nothing short of mesmerizing. I've spent hours simply cruising down the highway, watching the world go by through the windshield as Autopilot takes care of the driving.

The speaker system on this car is also noteworthy. It's like having a symphony in your ear, with crystal-clear highs and deep, rumbling bass that will leave you breathless. And then there's the leather – oh, the luxurious feel of it. I could spend hours just running my fingers over the soft, supple surface, feeling the texture and weight of it.

But what really gets me is the interior design. It's like a work of art in itself – clean lines, minimalist accents, and a sense of elegance that's hard to find anywhere else. And did I mention how easily cleanable the interior is? The materials used are top-notch, making it a breeze to wipe down surfaces and keep the car looking like new.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "What about the steering wheel?" Ah, yes – the steering wheel. It's a bit...weird, to say the least. But I've grown accustomed to it, and in fact, I'm so used to it now that I almost forget it's there. Almost.

Of course, no car is perfect, and the Tesla Model S Plaid has its quirks. But one thing I did consider was upgrading the steering wheel with a carbon fiber aftermarket option. It's not just about aesthetics; I've heard great things about how it affects the driving experience. Who knows? Maybe it'll give me that extra boost of performance I'm looking for.

As I sit here writing this article, I have to admit that I'm a bit surprised by my love affair with this car. Six months ago, I was considering parting ways with it. But now...now I can barely imagine living without it. Maybe they'll come up with the Plaid Plus 4.0 – with 3000 horsepower, no less – and I'll upgrade to that one in the future. A guy can dream, right?

New Wheels for My Tesla Model S Plaid

And speaking of upgrades, I'm thrilled to share my latest addition: new wheels for my Tesla Model S Plaid. I went with the Signature SV 304 S's, which are forged, lightweight, and absolutely stunning. The offset that Signature was able to achieve is impressive, particularly because it fits so well under those fenders – especially since my car is a lovely shade of blue.

I wanted wheels that would stand out, something that would make this car truly unique. Going with black or pure silver felt a bit boring to me, so I took a risk and went for the royal gold face. It's got a polished exterior lip, which looks amazing – especially at night time when it really stands out. And in the dark, when there's not much light, it almost seems like one giant silver wheel.

The contrast between the polished silver and the royal gold is absolutely incredible. I just think it makes the car look like a tuner's dream come true – not exactly what you'd expect from a family sedan. But hey, that's what makes life interesting, right?

I've had the pleasure of working with Signature Wheels in the past, traditionally with Lamborghini Huracans. So when I got my Tesla Model S Plaid and noticed they were offering some amazing options for this car, I just had to try them out. And let me tell you – it was worth every minute.

If you're looking for wheels that will elevate your ride to the next level, Signature Wheels is the way to go. I've got their email address in my description below, and if you mention "vehicle versions" or "vv," you'll get a special discount on your new wheels. Trust me – it's worth it.

The Unforeseen Wrap

I have to admit that I was initially considering wrapping my car with some bold color scheme. But after putting the new wheels on, I'm actually tempted not to do it at all. The blue and silver combo looks so sharp and clean that I don't want to mess it up with any unnecessary design elements.

Of course, that's just me – your mileage may vary. If you're looking for a bold statement, go for it! But if you want my two cents, the Tesla Model S Plaid is already a work of art on its own.

before i like the design language but the biggest appeal was i wanted to try out what it was like to own an electric car i'd never owned an electric vehicle before and of course it's hard to turn down the fact that it had a 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds honestly i was a bit nervous obviously i'm a car nut and internal combustion engines have my heart through and through so having a car that's silent i kind of thought you know i'm gonna get bored of this thing in about a month i'm gonna floor it a bunch of times it's gonna be cool and then honestly it's gonna have no luster after that but it couldn't be further from the truth i have fallen in love with this car more and more every time i drive it its ability to do insane road trips in extreme comfort that autopilot is truly a work of art the speaker system's amazing the leather feels fantastic the interior is easily cleanable because of the materials that they use the steering wheel is a little weird but i've gotten used to it and
