Model S

I came from a Panamera Turbo and the Plaid makes it feel slow. On a 400 mile desert run I stopped twice for about fifteen minutes each. Cabin is quiet enough to hold a phone call at 80 mph.

After three years and 41,000 miles I still see roughly 94 percent of the original range. Two service visits total, both for wiper and trim items, both handled by a mobile tech in my driveway.

Drivetrain and software are flawless. My frunk needed one adjustment and the rear door had a slight gap on delivery. Fixed under warranty, but worth inspecting carefully when yours arrives.

Drove from Munich to Lisbon and back. Charging added less than an hour total to the trip and the route planner rerouted us around a closed station without asking. Seats stayed comfortable over 12 hour days.

Two software updates this year alone added real features, including a much better blind spot view. The car feels newer now than when I bought it. Resale value in my area is holding up well too.

Everything runs through the screen, which took two weeks to feel natural. Now I would not go back. Ride on the motorway is superb and my electricity tariff makes it cheaper to run than my old diesel estate.
