I really appreciate the real world range numbers (270 to 280)! I'd love to see a review with the standard tires too, to see how much of an improvement it really makes.
On these new Tesla's they actually have infrared cameras hidden inside above the rear view mirror to make sure your eyes are on the road when in autopilot and regular driving. That was a new feature they added to stop people using those clips to trick autopilot in the past.

That flaw should be fixed but isn't that the manual door release? Should only be used in emergencies. If used continuously it will damage the window trim.
They are manual door releases if the power option (button) is not functioning. When using the manual release, it does not properly drop the window as it should when using the powered option and can end up damaging the door seal and or glass of used incorrectly or too often . The rear door manual releases are tabs located below the seat on each side. As to the road noise, the new MS has noise cancelation features as well better dampening on panels and cones with thicker side glass. Does anyone read their manuals anymore??
Yep. Itâs either too low or too high đ the joys of audio with wind and cars. Itâs exceedingly difficult shoots have been ruined by wind, technical issues, etc. Inside the car though the volume was good, actually lowered it in post.
I'm pretty sure that manual door hatch is just supposed to be used for emergencies when the car's power is turned off. Also, the car doesn't automatically shift. It only does that when you're parked. You do have to turn that on as an option, but it's still in Beta. Btw way are there any other types of build quality like panel gaps and stuff?
I did not notice any other build issues except the ones noted - like panel gaps. Iâm still not sure how the auto shift feature can work, but we didnât get into it in this review.
@@Driven-Productions The cameras calibrate themselves during the first dozen miles. All features using the cameras such as autopilot and auto shift will have to wait for calibration.

Turning is really not difficult. Take one or two fingers toghther...put them in the steeringwheel spokes and spin the wheel left or right when turning around, or making a "U" turn. No more reaching for the part of the steering wheel that isn't there. It's pretty simple.

The car keeps going up in price like crazy so I will never get one for the price early owners may have gotten.

You included the full self driving of 10k. Hers doesnât have it based on the options read. Auto shift out of park may only come with Full self driving.
Hmm good point on the auto shift. Is that a fact? Seems like it would come standard. Also right now feel reasons to upgrade to FSD since autopilot does work so well.

Hey, you want to talk about the Porsche charm? Do you have any idea how many quality issues Porsche is facing with the Taycan? I love your video, but you really should do some research before bagging on Tesla and praising the other side. The grass isn't greener on the other side. It's actually dry and boring by comparison.
We own two Teslaâs so Iâm far from a Tesla hater. But, Porsche has better build quality on their vehicles. Iâm not aware of the issues with the Taycan though.
@@Driven-Productions You wouldn't find the info on publications like Consumer Reports or JD Power. You might see what they choose to publish, but the real data is in the warranty numbers and the forums. There are too many issues to list ranging from the software to the powertrain. There are exterior as well as interior quality complaints. And 2 or 3 recalls, one major regarding the power train. There is more to quality than misaligned panels or missing paint. Those can be fixed. The software, design and what lies under the hood also matter. We can take our Teslas cross country with hardly a hitch. While, I wouldn't trust a Taycan on that same journey. Tesla has room for improvement, sure, but now that I own one, it irks me when people talk about quality as if the competition is better, when they're not looking at the full picture. If we're talking about specific things (paint, panel alignment, material feel, type etc) then yeah. But that's scratching the surface.
How many miles on your p100 D? Is your cpu and screen ok? I have one and paid $2500 to fix. Thinking about black over the chrome... Do you rec? I have no urge to trade into the plaid because it's my car plus $80k..... Ludicrous used so infrequently so crazy to pay so much for plaide which will also be screaming so infrequently.
I also do not feel the need to upgrade, I also rarely can use all that P100DL torque on the street. After just paying $2k for new PS4 tires Iâm more mindful of when I smash it. I did upgrade the ECU for $1,500, and did the chrome delete. That is all she needed in my opinion.
Wait. 140k car and there's no delete front license plate option? Come on man. Audi literally asked me if I wanted mine deleted when I was placing my first order. No self-respecting car enthusiast ever sports a front license plate. I would be pissed if my car arrived with one.

That flaw should be fixed but isn't that the manual door release? Should only be used in emergencies. If used continuously it will damage the window trim.
Interesting observation, honestly not sure. If its an emergency, passengers may not think it is based on that location maybe.
it was intentional. if it was easy to do people who aren't aware would be doing it every time they wanna open the door
They are manual door releases if the power option (button) is not functioning. When using the manual release, it does not properly drop the window as it should when using the powered option and can end up damaging the door seal and or glass of used incorrectly or too often
.
The rear door manual releases are tabs located below the seat on each side.
As to the road noise, the new MS has noise cancelation features as well better dampening on panels and cones with thicker side glass.
Does anyone read their manuals anymore??
Brakes upgrades will be a must. The regular breaks are reported to fade quick.
If you ever have to use them. Time your throttle right regen works well
Looks sick in black
It is a good looking car, in black, white, whatever. Even after 10 years + the overall design still looks good.
