PLAID Model S is stupid fast. And is better built than ever. But that yoke tho

5:08 But officer, I HAD to go 137mph so I could GET my registration to show you!

Me as a broke and poor person that I can't afford a bicycle, watching carefully the video of Marques and very worried about the steering wheel problem :)

I love tech, big touch screens, etc., but some physical buttons are actually a very good thing in a car.

The tesla steering "wheel" looks good, but is dangerous as fuck. The classic round steering wheel is a better design because it enables you to grab the steering wheel from any angle. Its more accessible, especially when you need to quickly grab the wheel with both hands to do a last munite maneuver to avoid something.

Officer: "Can I see your license and registration please?"

You: Sorry, my car ate it"

Congrats Marques, the steering wheel buttons stress me daily.... should have placed the blinkers like Ferrari does, and some more buttons on the back of the steering wheel that could be customized, forward, reverse, etc...

BMW driver stereotype: never uses a signal while changing lanes.

Tesla driver stereotype: turns on both signals, the windshield wipers, honks the horn and turns on the radio while making a turn

[liamwelsh]

I think the yoke its self is fine as well and it's the buttons that are a problem. The big one for me is the horn. The horn is something that you need to be able to use in an instant. I can think of many times where I was cut off and if I honked a second later, I would of been hit.

You know what? The steering wheel is the deal breaker for me

[Rev]

The yoke is a deal breaker for me, aside from the fact that well, I’m poor.

[rhyswilliams]

Simple, critical analysis. That’s why I love this guy’s reviews.

[marcwettmer]

Honesty and sharing the unbiased own view is key in success and retaining credibility. And this is why i love your videos/reviews so much! Exceptional work...over and over again!! Keep it on. Greetings from Switzerland

Cannot imagine turning my "wheel" 200 degrees for a round-a-bout then having to find the turn signals for exiting the round-a-bout. Mind-boggling design.

[MindfulMusic]

The ergonomics of the steering wheel is ridiculous.

[BrooksHolt]

I expect 3rd party steering wheels being real popular to combat a lot of these yoke and touch button issues. If they can be retrofitted and function 100%.

Marques, I'm a newcomer to your channel. Man, you are very thorough, very honest, and very real in your day-to-day reviews of EVs...Loved the F-150 Review, Loved the Rivian review, and loved this review. Great job staying objective for the weary and interested but more importantly to yourself! Great Job young man!

[jefftutorials]

I drove Model S Plaid 2 weeks ago and I can confirm it's absolutely as wild as Marques says. You feel like you're blasting into space every time you floor it.

[The-Rest-of-Us]

Marques’ “First Impressions” are other YouTubers’ “Full Reviews”

[mathijs]

It's clear this car is made for America, imagine going round a roundabout and having to indicate you are going off while turning that yoke around.

[Billasim]

Dear Marque, that was a "word class" description about the most weird decisions Tesla engineers and marketing took.. the yoke.

Really I enjoyed so much the way you approached and describe your experience with the steering wheel.

This is the reason you have so many subscribers in this channel. You have a "charisma" as we are using to say in Greece.
Keep up the good work you are doing!

Take care 🙋‍♂️
