Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of the Tesla Model S P100D:The car is a Model S P100D on loan from Tesla.
The reviewed car is a very fast, sub-2.5-second 0-60 mph production car.
There is a red line under the “Dual Motor” text which indicates the car has ludicrous mode.
It’s as large as a P90D.
The door handles open when you approach the vehicle.
The white interior is desirable but can stain from blue jeans.
The car has a moon roof, but no sun roof, which is a con.
It has storage space similar to the Tesla Model X.
There is Dark Ash wood trim, which is a favorite design element.
Similar to the Model X, there is a place to add cup holders, and the interior is basic.
AutoPilot is amazing.
The performance can be summarized as, “This thing is bananas fast!" A test drive reveals a lack of drama and ease of operation. With the review car, a 0-60 mph test was reached in less than 3 seconds. It can steer itself, although there is not quite autonomous steering yet. One must apply a slight turning force to the steering wheel when requested. Even on autopilot, it hugs corners smoothly.
Overall, the reviewer is net bullish on Tesla but notes that the Model S is overdue for a refresh. It has great lines, but more styling changes are needed. Tesla should have new wheel options, a special upgrade package, or something cool to highlight the premium investment. The Model S has good technology, and great interiors and seats. It doesn't turn heads like it used to. It has lost some of its exclusivity factor. It still looks great, but it looks exactly the same as older versions. Despite those concerns, it's still regarded as one of the best cars in the world.
