If your looking for the absolute best tech in a vehicle, you will find it in a Tesla. I felt the year, miles, and condition was a fair price. It is extremely hard to compare any Tesla to any other vehicle brands out there. Tesla did a very good job at being original. This is my second Tesla . My first was a Model 3 Performance and now I have a Model S Plaid. For me, it would be very hard to go back to the other brands.

The car is fantastic, truly unlike any other car, and it just gets better with updates. I’m neutral on the yoke, but I will probably replace it at some point. Aside from the steering. wheel/yoke, it is the best car that I’ve ever driven. Between the auto pilot and full self driving, to the media , safety features, and incredible acceleration, I simply don’t think there is a better car you can buy.

2021 marked the first re-fresh of the Model S since its inception. My previous Model S was a 2016 P90D ludicrous. The 2021 felt like an entirely different car. With several major upgrades: • The seats were substantially upgraded providing more stability during cornering, heating and cooling seat ventilation was added. The whole interior was upgraded. • New “ductless” HVAC system that allows you to direct air virtually anywhere—crazy. • The dash was shortened to move the driver closer to the windshield increasing visibility • The suspension was improved with more options to customize. • The sound system was significantly upgraded to 950+ watts and 23 speakers—it is truly an amazing sound that rivals any headphones I have used. • Significantly quieter cabin with a new window system and self-cancelling noise reduction that lowers tire noise.
