I check drive the 2022 Tesla Mannequin S Plaid. First Impressions? The yoke takes some getting used to. The velocity? It is quick! Actually quick …

For the blinkers, up is right and down is left, just like with a stalk….should be easy to remember now 😎
Your reaction was priceless 😂😂. Def need episode 2
How’s the fit and finish? Any rattles or creaks?
Hey Eddie, good video!
Cool video 👌
Hi Eddie. Update on my X5 brake force display. I finally got it flashing. Seems like you really have to press hard on the brake pedal before it will flash even on soft braking setting. Thanks
Great #Tesla Content
@12:43 😂😂 here we go. Great reaction 👍
😂Ed you crazy!!!
The difference in power is very significant when the battery is at least 75% soc or higher. Noticeable drop in power when the charge is below about 40%.
I’ve had mine for 10 months (MSM / Black interior) and love it.
Face it, the vast majority of Tesla Plaid buyers get them for one thing….they are the fastest cars on the planet that you can buy from a manufacturer that you don't have to spend an additional $20-$30K to modify them to still be slower than a S Plaid. AND for you folks that agree and have interest in speed rather than how far we can go on a charge, or how much Teslas will be worth 3 years from now this will be right up your alley!
Last month a Tesla Model S Plaid in Napierville, Quebec set the new record for the fastest quarter-mile time for the electric sedan at 8.83 seconds and 161mph.
The Model S had a stripped out interior for weight savings, as well as SV104 wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson drag radials at the rear and Michelin PS4 tires on the front.
Not content with the blistering fast time, the same Model S Plaid has set a new record this week. At the same track in Napierville the Model S crossed the line in just 8.77 seconds at 162.55mph (261.60km/h), a 5.67 second 1/8 mile time and an outstanding 125MPH to 162MPH time in 3.1 seconds!!!
As for what changed that allowed the car to go faster this time the owner, TMC user mulot30th, said there was an additional 60lb weight saving over the previous attempt due to someone else being behind the wheel on the run.
Additionally he said there a slight change to the suspension.
“Main change is suspension geometry change (slight) which reduce “tire drag” a little bit at least that is what I intended to do with that and have worked,” he said.
Interestingly, the top speed at the end of his quarter mile run of 162.55mph is inches away from the electronically limited top speed (when not in Track Mode) of 163mph.
As first told earlier this week, Quebec-based Ingenext was able to hack their way past that limiter and reached a top speed of 216mph (347km/h).
As for this Model S Plaid, the owner says that while the car does not feel like it is slowing down when crossing the line, he feels there is not much room to improve beyond 8.77s with the current setup, but a BIG brake option available from Tesla and several other Tesla specific after market parts dealers at a much reduced price, and TOP OF THE LINE HIGH SPEED RATED STREET TIRES should also be used!
You can check out the record runs both of TOP SPEED and FASTEST QUARTER MILE time on several Youtube channels
I know this sounds crazy but im looking to get the plaid model s as my first car when i turn 16 or 17, I dont have money for it but Is it possible to get a lease on it like pay it monthly like a house
Surprised there isn't more voice commands for lights and turn signals. The HORN would DRIVE me flat crazy for not being in the center of the steering wheel. The exes l excuse they have given it's not in the center of the steering is because if the air bad. Most cars have a horn over the top of the airbag. They could have done the same.
Your rocket ship mode looked like it actually hurt you…
Can you imagine running from the cops. They would be shocked by the speed it accelerates..
Ordered one and canceled delivery I hate the steering wheel and poor interior quality..
For reference to the viewers… the video starts at 12:45. Before that it’s just complaints
Elon is a Republican that supports the Coup Klutz Klan. He likes the party that doesn't even think science is a real thing, that Evolution and Climate Change are fake news. I'm so done with Tesla. I'll be trading in my model 3 for another brand soon. I thought he was an environmentalist, and bought the car to not only reduce my own emissions, but to help a company that seemed to be trying to reduce Greenhouse gases. Buying that car was the biggest mistake of anything I've ever purchased. The guy is a total loser. He thinks we need to have as many babies as possible, and is fine with rapists choosing the mother of their child, and the rape victim being forced by law to give birth, even if she is 10 years old! Incredible. He supports the coup against the United States, and all the MAGAts that STILL want to overthrow America, and end democracy, and supports the party that has blocked all climate legislation and environmental protections forever. I'm ashamed to be seen in my car now.
The go pro couldn’t handle the g-force 😂🤘
