I’m thinking about replacing my 2015 MS with one in the next year or two. My “problem” is while mine has 210, 000 miles, it still has 89% battery .. no rattles at all and still looks and drives as new. Tough to justify flipping this car. My thinking is it is fully depreciated now .. drives as new .. so keep driving it.

I have the same car-got mine Feb 2022. The Yoke is amazing and much more comfortable to use that on our other S. It fits perfectly. My elbow rests comfortably on the center console and my hand fits perfectly on the Yoke and my thumb rests on the hook of the Yoke. The hooks on either side are ergonomic and useful. I've never had the Yoke rub on my knee. I've had more than expected battery degradation. It charged to 405 when brand new, but after 8 months would only charge to 375. When taking a normal trip, you get about 90% of the displayed miles, but on our 2016 S we always got about 105% or our stated range. It is very fast and I never "floor it" as it is unsettling to my equilibrium...Insurance is crazy, about $2300/year in North Carolina. Beware of the depreciation! My "like new" S had 18k miles and 15 months old and thought about trading for a new X. Carmax and Tesla would only offer 55K, Autonation 59K. A new S sells for about 89K. Better to stick with the lower priced Y to reduce that hit. Beware of battery drain with Sentry mode. I had it parked in the cruise port terminal and after 4 days lost 150 miles in charge. I guess with all the cars moving within parking terminal the system was always activated. Glad I had just charged before parking. The car (Teslas) are amazing to drive with the smooth power and one pedal driving. Their fit and finish are below average. Just about everything on the car feels "loose", not tight or solid. It feels cheaply put together, and its a $90K car. We just bought a RAV4 hybrid XSE and if feels better made that the S. I agree that Autopilot seems worse. Removing the sonar and radar is not an improvement. Also, Teslas need a 360 deg camera. There is a huge blind spot in front of the car. Clearly there is room for improvement and other brands/cars have moved beyond Tesla in many ways though I agree that Tesla's autopilot system is the most convenient. Also, removing all the physical controls-though looking more clean-is less functional. Trying to use the touch display while driving is hazardous. You need to learn the voice commands (change temperature, activate seat heaters, open glovebox, etc.) otherwise you might have an accident....Its much easier to just grab the temperature knob on the RAV to adjust it as an example. I would buy another Tesla but will wait for a "new generation".

$4500/yr to own and operate isn't crazy, but don't forget depreciation and interest. Now it gets crazy, but likely comparable to other $80k cars. Love that car!

*I think you mean "staggered", not "scattered". **17:35*

Staggered wheels, not Scattered wheels

Honestly I've been saying that, you steal, lose a hand, do it again lose your arm. You do that to a few people and I guarantee it will stop a lot of people from stealing.

[Budnbuf]

Removing a hand (for burglers) like old times sounds appealing.

A real enthusiast would get the yoke??? Imma say no, It’s not a Formula 1 car and its not a airplane…if it ain’t broke don’t fix it…round wheels always work…the yoke does not determine who is a real enthusiast and who isnt

[jameswoffinden]

As soon as you mentioned Oakland, I knew you would have a broken window. I have seen so many cars with broken windows when going there!

[thomasjacques]

I do wish Tesla would tweak the steering ratio so you wouldn't need a FULL rotation of the wheel to get the car to make some maneuvers. AP is all I have ever used and needed even after trying FSD, it's great in STOP and GO traffic but I would love to buy AUTO LANE CHANGE if they would offer that as a stand-alone option. It's brilliant and works flawlessly. The tires are STAGGERED not SCATTERED.

Great video! I was on the fence between getting a model Y or S but this video sold me. I’m willing to pay the higher price tag of owning the S. The experience and build quality is an easy sale for me.

Thank you for an amazing video! Great work.

[cyberenz]

You mean staggered wheel sizes. Thanks for the video. Great information.

[jpanic]

The new REV of the Yoke steering wheel as a newer compound.. so they made those changes to prevent the peeling. Covered under warranty for sure

[nacswapzz]

you can open the frunk by removing the cricle like cover in the front and connecting a 5v battery

[ElMistroFeroz]

I save about $100 a month in gas with my Model S. It doesn’t even cover my $188/month insurance bill.

[ryanflores]

Use your hand on the horn side of the wheel and it works like pressing the center of the wheel.

[RaptorDaddy]

Why would I get this as a daily driver and have to replace the tires every 10k miles?

[scottbreseke]

With regards to the Did you wait until you actually needed to honk at a car before you tried to learn how to honk, or did you practice honking a few times before the need-to-honk happened?

I've had my 2021 MSP for about 2 years now and have literally spent 0 on repairs or maintenance. Luckily I have tire and rim protection as I've been through about 5 tires and at around 750 each installed from Tesla mobile services it's more then paid for itself. Updated to Matrix lights and power screen and see zero reason for buying a newer one until AI5 is released. This car is incredible and I've owned just about every high end vehicle and exotic and this is honestly maybe my favorite I've ever owned. The only disappointing thing about the vehicle is the interior finish, for 150k which was what my car was stickered @ in 2021 when new it should be a hell of alot nicer
