NEW REFRESHED 2021 Tesla Model S vs OLD Model S: What has IMPROVED?

THE WAIT IS OVER! The Tesla Model S/X have both been given a SERIOUS refresh that extends to almost every aspect of the vehicles from cosmetic to structural. In this video, I discuss these new updates SPECIFICALLY for the MODEL S and compare them to the PREVIOUS design.

Does the audio seem better in this video? I am using a new Yeti Blue X Pro Microphone for this video.

Your videos are on a whole new level in terms of breaking details down and providing context holistically as compared to all other Tesla youtubers. Well done. 👏

Best video yet on the new Model S, especially the differences and updates from the previous Model S. Thanks!

Great review!
Side-by-side comparison photos -- seemingly simple to include, but AFAIK, no other reviewer did -- really helped to see the subtle exterior changes.

After 5 years of being addicted to Mercedes (currently E class), I have ordered the Tesla Model S Plaid yesterday. Hopefully will be receiving it in september 🙏🏼

Thank you fir giving us a complete run down on the new Tesla S....Yes I want one....we can all dream 😁

Very comprehensive. The best video so far that points out the major changes in the refreshed models. Excellent job. Those looking for justification to purchase one will find it extremely useful.

Tbh I prefer the 2016-2020 because it so elegant and luxury while the redesigned is kinda future-ish I kinda prefer luxury then future

Thanks for the comparison photos. It's hard to see the subtle changes Tesla made to the exterior.

Well done for actually showing side by side pics and not just narrating what everyone else is saying ... Good video

A new Tesla doesn't come with that new car smell...it comes with an elon MUSK😄

Today, a Tesla S on autopilot crashed and killed two people in Texas. It took a fire department over 4 hours to put out the fire. The men killed in the crash said just before they left that they wanted to go for a drive and were talking about the vehicle’s driverless features, an official said. Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive, earlier on Saturday had promoted a recent safety report from the company, writing on Twitter that “Tesla with Autopilot engaged now approaching 10 times lower chance of accident than average vehicle.”

Nothing really changed on the outside. I couldn’t tell until you pointed out the differences. Definitely an improvement inside.

Hardly anyone has mentioned the slightly more aggressive side profile and the curvy area along the bottom of the doors. The old Model S had a plain side profile.

Should have had at least a separate monitor for the front passenger (and maybe for the back ones? The rear one is awfully small). My wife likes to play solitaire while I'm driving in the model Y. Don't know what they are doing with all of those "tens of thousands" of the new 4680 batteries, but I'm disappointed they are not in the new model S/X. Guess they are stock piling them for the new model Y in Berlin, or maybe for the semi?

Excellent video. The details of new models and comparisons with older ones are clearly explained. Loved it :)

[craigruchman]

Very informative, I had been looking for something that did a side by side comparison, thanks!

The horn button is a horrendous idea. The middle of the yoke should also function as a horn as years of reflex and muscle memory automatically trigger driver to press the middle of steering wheel. This is the same button system in the Ferrari 458/488 and its super annoying. I'm skeptical about yoke vs wheel but will have to try before final verdict. What about soft close doors and interior accent lighting? Also need "hello Tesla' or some sort of voice wake command to interact with car.

its looking so cool...wish i had cash to buy this puppy
