Reviewed a 2021 Tesla Plaid AWD on Oct 27, 2024

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.
