Video Summary
Here is the summary of the provided YouTube video review:- The video focuses on the differences between the 2024 Model S Plaid and previous models.
- The 2024 Model S Plaid represents what earlier Model S cars should have been.
- Owners of the 2021-2023 Model S paid more for fewer features than the current 2024 model.
- The exterior remains largely the same, maintaining its timeless design.
- The new matrix LED headlights are slightly different, with cube-like elements, but provide similar functionality in terms of light spread.
- Redesigned charge port flaps open up and out, which isn't a preferred design, because it may be prone to breaking down.
- There is no longer light for the port itself, making it difficult to plug in the dark.
- The new tail light design looks "pinched" and lacks the previous "double-edged katana blade" design.
- There is Hardware 4, cameras are a new standard, however, the housing is still the same.
- New "refrigerator magnet"-style, flat Plaid badge replaces the embossed one, which is harder to clean.
- The new Plaid sport seats, similar to Recaro racing seats, are more supportive but less comfortable than standard seats, especially around the bolster area.
- The backseat retains the seat design but is softer, lacking the hard plastic found in the front seats.
- New Bluetooth antenna allows wireless connection of Bluetooth headsets.
- RAM has been bumped up from 8GB to 16GB, enabling Steam gaming.
- Ultrasonics are missing; the Tesla Vision has a built-in buffer for safety.
- The yoke is improved for comfort, the steering wheel is redesigned, making it more like a “sport-based” wheel.
- The new design is also smoother.
- The review said “You can get to the Camera button which is great”.
- Some feel that it’s a much quieter car, due to changes to wheel well.
- FSD transfer helps upgrade since car costs less without it.
