Tesla Model S Review! _ Is This The Future Of Cars

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enbegin trusting me he lets me this is a long-awaited review ever since the Tesla came out we have been dying to review one and finally we have the opportunity Tesla kind of took the automotive industry by storm their approach to building cars is more akin to a tech company like Apple then companies that have been around for hundreds of years with their their typical manufacturing process they don't use dealerships and of course they're all electric don't look like a cheese wedge and are and in some cases extremely extremely fast so the model here we're driving is the 2015 model asks 85 D so the number 85 stands for 85 kilowatts D is a dual motor you'll notice it's missing P so it's not the crazy all-out performance model this one will um still has 422 horsepower yes not bad quite a bit and because of the nature of electric motors you get max torque at zero rpm oh wow Wow it does 60 in 4.2 seconds although that feels faster than 4.2 Wow this is actually my first time ever in a Tesla while moving Oh awesome so interesting with the driving experience obviously we've driven a lot of cars but instantly this is very different because you've got the brake regeneration so the instant you take your foot off the pedal the car slows down really well yeah like it's got serious engine braking that's not touching the brake at all I'd like to probably almost come to a stop yeah and you're always in the perfect gear because there are no gears single god ride you've got instant torque at zero rpm so that is legit man that is fast holy cow yeah so like you said P stands for performance if you get an 85 D it's the dual motor with 800 it's pretty important in climate like this absolutely so they didn't initially come out with the dual motor that was released and when they came out with that they had the p85d which was ridiculous yes slightly under three seconds 0-60 yeah now now they have the P 100 D with ludicrous mode updated which does 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds critically that is faster than Lamborghini Huracan and that is all that matter it is unfortunately bad after I'm sure after 60 another characteristic of electric motors is they kind of burn out they're optimized for lower speeds as of the technology right now so when you step on the gas at 100 miles an hour it's going to get destroyed by a car that has a similar quarter-mile time for 0 to 60 time but but off the line my god from a standstill is this thing I can't imagine like a P 100 e it's pretty nuts this feels pretty intense I've been in a p90d not the 100 but it was it's pretty like the 0 to 30 is faster than anything I've ever experienced so we're coming up on a stop sign here ok it's got a lot of features that are very similar to Mercedes and that English imports a source a lot parts from that so one thing is I'm at a stop sign press and hold the gas pedal down all the way activates hold so I can release it then floor the gas whoa hahaha that's cool is a lot it makes an interesting noise yeah it was just like a futuristic yeah this the stock to select it into drive is mounted on the steering column came from an eClass it's literally a Mercedes Park I recognize the window controls on the side as well as the mirrors that's also from a Mercedes so kind of talking the interior it is extremely clean and simple but bordering upon to Spartan it's very basic it is sort of dominated by that giant 17 inch touchscreen which is impressive it's beautiful it reacts pretty quickly the configurations and the graphics are amazing yeah and it's huge but if you look at the door there is a wash and a door handle that is it there's not a cup holder just little sculpted armrest not a button for unlocking there's literally nothing on this entire door panel and this car aspect it's fully optioned other than I think the rear child seat or your rear facing seats yeah you can have seven people in this car five here and two in the back did one and 106 yeah 106 so so think about some of the cars we've driven for that money and the interior yes a lot better than this it is very usable because of the lack of a transmission and the way the batteries and everything are packaged there's this giant space right in the middle here and all your driving so aggressively I can't actually talk about with these Sun roofs which are gorgeous you also get an extra few inches of headroom is really nice the owner had a loaner car that didn't have that and he was really frustrated with with the lack of Headroom the car drives well it accelerates at a very impressive rate the steering is decent you've got different modes comfort sport and standard but it's still a really heavy car 4840 4,800 to get the dual motors so it changes directions well a corners relatively flat but it's not it's not something like a Porsche Panamera so this has the air suspension so it's got you can change the right height for blow standard high and very high thing they ran out yeah let's not put it very high and then ocean Jaco adjust speed automatic lowering as you're increasing your see I mean this has a lot of cool tech there's so much customizability in the main screen here and it looks beautiful as well it's not just a button to change the ride height you get a picture the car oh my god that's a schooling Oh cool necklace ooh cold clothes it lets go of that ah clothes that's cool yeah it's a scrolling bar why is it stuck at 4000 K it's closed cold weather the heated seat displays all three seats are DeBacker heated steering wheels heated it does have luxury car features absolutely so let's talk about other things that come along with the Tesla obviously it's electric you have no money spent on gas the MB GE is obviously really high super charging it is an awesome feature that currently is free for all Tesla owners hold on for that much long yeah that is very true and you can charge your car to 50 percent battery in just 20 minutes you are used to with a gasoline engine being able to fill your car in two minutes so 20 something you really need to schedule pretty dang good bye compared to what older electric cars have similarly and again like Parker said it's free and the network Tesla's built a massive network of these supercharged yes distribution varies depending where you live here in California there's a ton more than if you live in Iowa because if you live in Iowa kind of screwed either way um but there is what people have I'm sorry everyone in Ohio or Scylla I know I said Iowa oh maybe I well I'm not sorry for a while oh hey guys so people have driven across the country from like New York to LA using only the supercharger network there is a trip planner on amp essential that lets you route your trip in accordance to the superchargers available so we trust Mount autumn to an autopilot keep going with here I want to watch this all right so I've activated autopilot it you activated in a very similar way as Mercedes Distronic plus by pulling back a stock that's below the turning indicator it shows me the Model S inside the lanes there's two blue lines on either side I fix room interestingly it restricted me to 40 miles an hour not sure what the deal there was but it's working oh maybe because the speed limit is 35 so we'll let you go more the five over the speed limit that's dumb the speed limit is 35 allegedly auto sourire speed restricted so this is working really well usually the cars that have lane keep assist they're good on the freeway the lines are consistent and well you don't have tight radius turns but this has gaps in the lines for driveways and turn offs and it's still doing quick usually and what I've discovered Lane keep assist cars they kind of drive like you're drunk they let go from one edge like oh there's a lane here I gotta go back this way the overcorrecting I just keep weaving back and forth in the lane honestly it's it's kind of a self-conscious thing I'm afraid to use it on my car sometimes because you'll because it does it it weaves from side to side and that doesn't look good especially if it's a Friday night and you're just trying to take a relaxing drive home and I'm not trying to get pulled over this leaky key is nice very cool is a little Tesla like you can unlock it how does he I don't know how it works actually it's a little plasticky and by that I mean the entire thing is plastic so it's a lot plastic II but but it's cool it looks like a test I definitely hate that I like key shape like The Corrs yeah like Pagani's yes I do like that with so in terms of range and performance it does have some downsides namely it gets the maximum range pretty much only in optimal conditions if you go up and down hills or you drive on the freeway a lot this is very different than a gas car where your best miles per gallon might be 55 or 65 miles an hour you're going to get the best equivalent fuel economy electric range in the city as opposed to on the highway we're going to get less and temperature is a big deal ona balls right now and batteries do not do well in the cold when it's like 32 degrees in under he said he will noticeably lose 25 to 30% of his range which is quite significant yeah and also another thing chances are you're not buying this to be a performance track car if you are maybe reconsider but lapping these just because they have the stats you know 0-60 and crazy times for the P 100 D yeah and it supposedly handles really well though I mean it's okay it's it's adequate they will overheat if you lap them several times I mean it's a Corvette zo6 so if you're Street speed 7 1 7 you might as well get a P 100 d2 and have all overheating cars think I'm over eating these I've got a heated steering wheel and heated seats heated seats in the back - all works really well it's freezing outside and I feel great in here somebody's going to comment if it's freezing outside while you're wearing a t-shirt because I'm wearing too well because he was wearing a jacket and then he took his jacket off it is a possibility I mean I feel like the the graphics and rendering is on par with the best oh you have the luxury out there maybe even better yeah which fits Tesla cuz I mean took company essentially ya know in terms of the infotainment this is like the best of the best which is in stark contrast to the Lexus we're driving this week which has terrible when I was eight for real damn that is impressive yeah it is that is this is just a regular one yeah electric cars are cool they are this is very very cool yeah why didn't you get this instead of your oh shut up but the people would make that conference this is a four-door not a comparable indoor sports car one of the coolest things about this the Tesla is over-the-air update software update so again this is a very technologically advanced vehicle and they have enabled it to essentially be updated via Wi-Fi and on you leave it in your garage and they send updates that have included forward collision warning adaptive cruise control blind spot warning they had to fix some recall issue where you never even had to take the car into the dealership yeah or adding performance modes that make your car yeah that was cool - yeah that's literally the manufacturer going yeah I'm alright with you tuning the car let's make it more power let's do it over there you sacrifice yeah some fuel economy but it's gonna work a lot out of me electronic onna me electronica this is so smooth it rides really well I do really rich guy and probably this air suspension does a very good job isolation from the road is fantastic there's like really no wind or road noise this is pretty impressive Wow Wow that that's that's awesome yeah after seeing what they did with the restyling on the front they improved it a ton I don't really like that circular black looking ping the thing is ace I think the reason I did that and face yeah was because people are so used to having a grill on their vehicle I didn't want to go so styling wise and the reason a grill exists is for air flow because you have an engine up there in most cars and then on the newer like wait a second we don't have an engine we don't need that so they just sculpted the nose to be smooth and I think it looks a lot better I think they missed out an opportunity when they were designing this vehicle to make it more futuristic and radical to fit what type of vehicle it was um they went a little too conventional because didn't one I don't know why they wanted to step too far out of the envelope or something but uh I mean it was the world's first like pretty successful pure electric vehicle they could have met gone crazy like look at what the Fisker Karma looks like yeah so I mean the Fisker Karma was an epic failure in terms of quality working yeah yeah that feels nice but that was designed by Henrique Fisker it looks absolutely incredible I've never been a huge fan of the way these look there's some wheel options that look really nice and then the front on the newer one looks fantastic but overall I mean it's finally a decent looking really good performing electric car yeah is a very viable alternative for car enthusiasts to actually ask for an all-electric vehicle instead of and so really like does it what are the compromises supercharging has made charging kind of not as big of an issue yeah some of these have legitimate range it's fast like this is not even the top of the men end model this is actually very fast um practicalities got all of that usability it is a great all-around car I mean I could see people cross shopping this legitimately against Mercedes and Audi stuff like that of course yeah I am extremely impressed think about how long Tesla has been around ignore the roads that was such a little slow volume type of thing and then you look at the number of orders for the Model 3 that came in on the first day it was unbelievable so it just kind of shows that Tesla is doing things really well and people know about Tesla's and II respect it and they're very interested in where they're going after driving this I understand exactly why Elon Musk is a genius a genius is like a genius is an understanding alright so over all the things we love about it sometimes creates all the infotainment and the graphics are just amazing it's it's later than any other the color matches the paint on the displays of the little car the doors opening everything graphics wise is amazing technology I mean this car you can use summon and it can dam itself into your garage they keep pushing it further and further the new Model X it can open the door on its own and closing on its own as you approach the car and performance-wise that the torque off the line is insane yes and even not over the line is Ostler hundred twenty two horsepower is quite a lot yes it is that's a good amount things we don't like interior a little bit being regular exterior styling is a little bit boring yes and depending upon your living situation it could be you know it could be difficult based on location with charging this yes so it's not for everyone whereas ever-ending buddy can go out and buy a gasoline car because while there's gas stations everywhere that's not everybody of course this is really expensive but pretend it wasn't not everybody can do that just purely based on the situation of where they're located whether they're supercharger stations whether their house can even have a power supply install for your level four there in an apartment complex that doesn't have the capability of that I hope you found this video informative we really like this car please follow us on instagram at vehicle
