Video Summary

Absolutely! Here's the summary of the electric car review, formatted as requested:

The Tesla Model S 75D, the least expensive Model S, sold nearly 100,000 units in 2018. It has a updated front fascia since 2017. It has LED headlights and, with a premium package, LED fog lights.  The car has standard 19” silver spoke wheels, but options of having black or grey ones, or even 21” wheels. The Model S is a large sedan, with a wheelbase of 116.6 inches, and 196 inches overall length.  It competes with a Mercedes-Benz E-class and a BMW 5 series.  A key fob is included for this model. The Model S also has passive entry. The door handles pop out automatically.The back design looks a bit plain. The 75D displays the kilowatt hours of the battery. All Model S models are now dual-motor, and all-wheel drive. The car has a hatchback, as well as an under-floor storage space. It has a frunk (front trunk). In the interior, the car still has a massive 17-inch touchscreen and the same style seats. The model tested has the optional carbon fiber upgrade. All Model S models come with a fully adjustable air suspension. The 2018 Model S has good materials. The interior has real leather stitching.  The model has front and rear dual electric motors. Zero to 60 takes 4.2 seconds.  It gets an estimated 259-mile range. Charging is ~70 hours with 110v charging, ~8 hours (220V) and ~1 hour (440V). The 19” wheels may make for a better turning radius, but the steering is a problem, light and numb. Even in the base model, this car still delivers a lot of power. The 75D has 518 hp. The back seats have the same 35-inch legroom as the smaller Model 3. It is more of a one-trick pony, and its performance is impressive.
