2018 Tesla Model S – The Original EV Game Changer

Follow Redline on social channels:

#Tesla changed the world's perspective on electric cars with the introduction of the #ModelS in 2012. This was the first mass produced #EV that could do over 200 miles on a single charge with acceleration that could shame gasoline powered sports cars. Over the years, Tesla has continued to make improvements to the Model S in range, performance, technology, and quality and although the current model is due for a significant overhaul, it remains the benchmark electric sedan. For 2019, Tesla has discontinued the 75D battery pack in this video and made the 100 kWh batteries as standard. The model names: 75D, 100D, P100D have also been discontinued and have been replaced with just Model S, Model S Extended Range, Model S Performance, and Model S Performance with Ludicrous Upgrade. #TeslaModelS

This is ridiculous. The cheapest model S goes 0-60 in 4.2 second's. These cars are on another level.

I approve all electric cars because they are the future.

I have a 2017 Model S, and I think it's the most perfect car ever made. It's such a joy to drive, and so practical.

My family has owned Mercedes literally since my birth & have never considered staying from that until we stopped at a Tesla store in a mall. The loss of creature comforts doesn't matter when you touch that screen and feel it drive.

I like this interior more than the Model 3's because still has the levers to operate the lights, wipers, cruise control and adjusting the steering wheel. I think 259 miles (414.4 Km) is a good range of charge. In general I like the car

Still one of the better looking big sedans in my opinion. In fact, I think the deletion of the traditional grill actually really helps in the looks. Now if they can just catch up with the demand and bring down the price... You know, like Elon has been promising since 1893...

Prefer this interior than in the Model yes it has aged well...

[jeanbaptistelabelle]

Funny enough, the fact that there is a real rear middle seat WITHOUT an arm rest is one of the main reason for me to take the S as I have 3 kids and they always complained about the middle place of my Audi or others with arm rest. I really hope they keep that!

I like that interior so much better than the model 3.

We have a 2016 Model S and an early 2018 Model 3. The refresh for the S happened in June 2016. The interior has changed a huge amount compared to the early cars (2012-mid-2016). Much better seats, center console, much better interior materials, better build quality.

Overall I like our S better than our 3. The 3 is more advanced and a driver’s car where the S feels a lot more like a luxury car. The S is much quieter, smoother, the larger screen and instrument cluster make it easier to use. Especially on trips, you can have the Nav and energy or other data up at the same time. The S we have cost only about $10k more than our 3. Since we got it in late 2016, they really increased the price and added a lot more performance and standard features.

We came from 5 previous Mercedes, Audi and BMW. The last Mercedes was a ML63 AMG. I don’t miss it and will never go back to gas.

Now with the 3 taking up the lower end of pricing, I hope Tesla makes the S more focused on luxury to match Mercedes E/S class, high end BMW or Porsche.

I have a 2018 S and it is best car I ever bought. I like that there is no car maintenance and every software update the car gets better.

[Jluislive]

that rear facing third row seats always intrigued me...

[FahvergnugenRS]

Model S is the OG. I love my 3 and will keep loving it. Hopefully I keep making videos about it as well. They take so long to make tho haha. Great video as always!

[emiliofernandez]

Personally think its one of the most beautiful modern sedans, in red and with good rims though ;)

[TheBTRGarage]

Such a cool car. Was mind blowing the first time I ever got to drive one! (a 90D)

[RyanZirnheld]

Man if I would have saw one of these way back in 2012 I'd think it was from the future! Still in my opinion the best looking sedan out there!

The sunroof and rear facing seats are actually still available as "off menu" items. They are only gone from the online configuration tool.
