Congrats ST430!! That's my preferred color too! What's the interior color?

Straight line or not, even my "slow" 75D is sooooo much fun in a straight line and 100% of any driving I do.

As a daily family hauler, home depot runs, it's fun factor is on a completely different level.

I doubt anyone buys a Plaid to track it on a "Nurburgring" on a regular basis.

 

The traction control on Tesla's is so unreal. Even when the road is wet , you can still floor it and it stays planted (ofcourse it will be slower) .

 

You are prophetic!

I was zipping about in the drenched bay area rain going much faster than I ever should be doing and it was rock solid stable and confidant.

And then ended up lugging around 4 new tires I had to return (for my model y). Dropped the rear seats and through it in the back like a champ!

This may be my last car (for myself at least)! Never though I'd find one that fit me so well, but this one does!

 

Traction control is unreal on EV's. I can floor my brother in laws Model 3 (RWD) or my Polestar (AWD) with 476 hp on wet roads (I'm also in the Bay area) and zero wheel slip. I haven't tried it with TC off. If you ever drive on Icy roads, turn One Pedal Braking to it's lowest setting

 

We just took our model y up through rain, sleet, and snow this past few days. Ran like a champ with just m+s tires (passing up 4x4s!). Amazing!

 

Haven't driven a Model Y yet, but I know it's an Amazing car. I'm aiming for my Model 3 performance between July and October of this year

 

Repeated...delete.

 

In my S, I just keep the regen setting in standard mode (the strongest mode) and just gradually release the accelerator pedal to not have too much regen when the driving conditions are not so great .

Once you have enough practice (and it doesn't take long), you don't ever need to put it in the "chill" mode as it's referred to in a Tesla.

 

True, practice makes perfect. The reason I mentioned it was one member on the Polestar forum in Detroit released it the accelerator too hard on an icy road and went skidding. He regained control by hitting the accelerator. Of course he was on summer tires, which is probably a big no no in places like Detroit in the winter!

 

The Model S still looks so good to me after all these years. The design has really stood the test of time.

 

I think the refreshed helped quite a bit! I was holding out for 22+ (didn't like 21')...

 

The one on the right is definitely NOT a 2021. It's a pre-refresh/pre 2021.

 

The one on the right is my 23'...?

 

I was referring to the first picture where the hoods of the cars are facing the camera.

 

Not to hijack your thread, but here's my 2016, you can see it looks exactly like the car on the right in the first pic
