Like your reviews but please STOP saying the word ACTUALLY every 30 seconds.
I love electric cars a lot I hope I can have it one day in the future after Im success
75 thousand quid for this? no thanx
"400 kilowatts of credit" Aaaaand again, another "electric" reviewer that has no clue what they're talking about… kW is not a quantity god damnit.
But does it have fast charging?
Great car and review! I love this car I just test drove one and it is amazing
Nice review but as an owner of a Model S (for 3 years now) I’d agree that it’s a brilliant car that drives like nothing else take issue with the comment re the infotainment system which IMHO is absolute rubbish and probably the bit that needs most work. After 3 years I still hate using it and find it horrible to navigate. That said I’m buying another because nothing on the market offers the range, performance and charging infrastructure of Tesla and I do around 20k miles a year so that’s important to me.
The price you pay isn't for luxury but tech

Post yours below 😀
We have the 2018 S100D and while we are pleased with not buying gas the car rides rough. Almost all luxury cars made today have a much better ride and we have been thinking about trading this go cart in on a real luxury car.
Im not a Tesla fan boy but hate it when reviewers say that the material quality is not up to the mark. Is it the seats, dash, cupholders ? Dont just say quality is not good. Mention what about the quality you dont like so that it helps your viewers in making a car buying decision. Such a waste of a review.
Well overdue for a refresh/upgrade. Fit and finish is definitely an issue for the price paid.
Model s is king.
NO Apple Carplay
So, there is't a CCS adapter available or announced yet. There is a CHAdeMO available.
PLUG IN/HYBRIDS AREN'T THE SAME AS FULL ELECTRIC.YOU STILL HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE ICE LIKE EVERY OTHER GAS CAR.
Who is the sponsor of this channel?..
I'm buying a Hyundai Ev, but given a sizable lotto win, I'd have a model S everytime.
Great review. The Tesla Model S is still the best electric car in my opinion too because none of the competition to date from Jaguar and Audi can achieve anywhere near the highway/motorway range of the Tesla Model S. It is simply more efficient and has the only truly fast charging network that makes long range trips a practical proposition.
best car in the world in my opinion, jaguar's screen is small its disgraceful for such a price. but tesla gives you this huge beautiful screen , light years ahead of all other manufacturers
That "build quality" proves 5 stars in safety from NHTSA! That build quality is almost 100% from FUD created fossil car competition and oil.
This 2 model S cars that was burned couple day ago at same day is suppose to be driving force for stock market manipulation.
What is $200 000 in comparison for 10% TLSA stock manipulation worth $5 000 000 000, of course with help of Trump who doesn't see where is future in transportation and his opinion about EVs!
Your summary of the S being in a class of it's own is about right.. as long as one does not get sucked into the world of fit and finsih. That aside the S is most likely unbeatable as long as you don't mind with size. It's huge and wide, although narrower than the i pace and X. If you don't need the size the the Kona Electric or E Niro makes great sense.
Bit disappointed that better mention is not made of the Supercharger Network. The ability to travel around the UK and Europe on the Tesla only supercharger network is transformative compared to any other EV.
You cannot get a CCS adapter to charge a Model S, its a Chademo adapter. I am not being picky, its the equivalent of saying a petrol car can use diesel.
The jaguar looks way better both inside and out
