Doug has a sponsor and he skipped the cars & bids intro I feel uncomfortable
My mind is going crazy
yes, very
I started crying nd throwin up
And this was heavy sponsored by Tesla as well.
@@Derinnegan i shidded an farded
Honestly, I can’t believe Doug hasn’t included sponsored content before this. His audience is so huge. Get that Carrera GT money, Doug!
He sponsors every video with his Cars & Bids Company
He’s had sponsors a long time ago with some Bluetooth speaker brand
@@laneforney he doesn't get paid for that though, it's his own company.
Facts. Get that bread, Doug.
Sponsors distract from the reviews imo
A family member of mine took delivery of this today in white with white interior. He was kind enough to let me drive it with 18 miles on it. The car was still calibrating as I was driving it. The power of this thing is godly. It drove so nice too( normal driving). The steering wheel took a bit to get used to though. The captains chairs were pretty sweet. I’m more a muscle car guy but man it was on another level. I really need to borrow it for some reaction vids. I took the wife for a ride in it and she had a classic reaction( she had ZERO idea about it. It was just a car to her, but she learned quick). I was in my glory so I didn’t think to catch it on video.
But it is a muscle car. In the same way the Durango Hellcat is a muscle car.
Hey Doug you better learn about the model S because I only know you did the the Durango hellcat because you're did the hellcat charger before
How are your Falcon wing door seal holding up? kzhead.info/sun/mNx9Y5F6iGiGdH0/bejne.html
The sounds Doug made when accelerating is just somehow astronomically funny to me
You look sussy buddy
don't forget about 25:59 lol
Amogus
Quite hard to explain when you don't see the screen thou :D
Doug's reactions are hilarious !!!!😂😂😂😂
I like that Doug talks about the car like no one has seen one before. Very nice for people who don’t know anything about the car
I can not understand that whether you are roasting him or praising him.
Yeah but for some cars he'll say "I won't go over that because I already went over that in the other video" like for the polestar
Yet the car itself is still ugly as shit
@@jaydawg2023 That's exactly why this is the ultimate sleeper just like Doug said.
That's the best part of his video experience, it's great for newbies, potential buyers and people who are used to it. It even makes you run to your car to make sure yours does that too 🙂
The appearance has grown on me. I didn't like the shape when it was first launched. But this shape has become a lot more common among other automakers, and I actually find the clean design and sloped rear shape of the X to be really nice. I also found the handling to be much flatter than what you get in a non-M X5. The rear doors are not only cool AF, but are also convenient when it's raining by providing cover when loading infants into car seats, or for ease of exit with my disabled mother-in-law. I ordered a Model X Long-range last year and will hopefully be getting it this July. Cannot wait.
Lol that was funny seeing you accelerate, I would have been crying laughing in the passenger seat on cloud 9😭
Sometimes when Doug reviews an insanely fast car I skip forward to the driving portion of the video before watching the review just to see him lose his mind when flooring it. Never disappoints
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
Yup
Sometimes when Doug reviews a car - i go and watch other reviews of said car that actually matter :)
@@mreimer5723 then why are you watching this video?
@@thedumbconspirator4956 Oh, just once in a blue moon, to remind myself of why I don’t watch these videos.
Finally, a full-fledged Doug review for a modern Model X. I've been asking for this for 5 years. Now excuse me, I'm going to my minimum wage job in my Nissan Gloomy (cuz it's the total opposite of "Sunny").
😂
@@kp1x You must feel very proud, huh?
At least Nissan has decent quality control, unlike Tesla.
@@9.5.9.5 He didn't point out any quality issues in this video
ahhh yes the "sunny", I used to live in Peru and everytime I saw one I thought "oh a Sentra" only to be pleased with the "sunny" badge
One of the main issues is actually the lack of a proper gear stalk. I love the simplicity of the Model 3 we have, and the placement of the gear lever during paralell parking is perfect. Can't imagine trying to quickly adjust in a parking spot during rush hour in this new model X
Fortunately, there is an aftermarket solution called the SEXY buttons which let you map car functionality on to up to 6 physical wireless buttons.
His reactions starting at 32:50 are hilarious. Look how fast those cars at the stoplight get from him. Amazing.
God, how fake.
It would be cool for Doug to do a review on a 2012 or 2013 Model S to show how well or poorly they've aged.
Doug said that he would review it if the 2012-13 Model S starts to become a bargain car.
he can review my 2014, im in san diego near him, they have aged fairly well if you fix the minor stuff like screens or handles failing it will feel new still. people (a guy who owns 2 mclarens and a taycan) have mistaken my 1st gen model s (yes with the nose cone front facia) for a plaid! they look quite different if you know what to look for, front fascia is main give away rest has aged well. many would prefer to still have turn signal stalk, window locks on door handles, aor vents you can touch/see and move etc. its more boomer friendly then new teslas it was made to transition people out of their i.c.e. cars
Model S aged a heck of a lot better than other EVs from that time for sure.
My colleague's early S has something like 350k on it and is still going strong.
I have 2013 Tesla. Had to fix sun roof leak, replace the center console touch screen and the door handle couple times. Otherwise still very happy with everything else
Doug should try to do a review with a 2012 Model S, to show how they’ve evolved since then
Doubt he’ll find much change
@@Gazz496 he will in the tech. Think of the leap from iOS 6 to the current iOS version.
@@TisWaffles Tesla tech upgrades itself, so even the older models have modernized technology. Not everything ofcourse but it's not a big difference.
@@TisWaffles Yep. There's full self driving beta and better autopilot, speed and range change, better screens, ps5 level gaming with ps5 games coming soon in an update
They haven’t evolved at all lol
33:09 Me when I’m constipated
I have a Model X Plaid and love it. The steering wheel is great because it doesn't get in the way of the console. I also like all the screen features. Self-driving mode is awesome on long freeway trips. One-pedal driving is really nice once you get used to it. My only complaints about the car are: - The tires are quite expensive and wear out faster than they would on lighter vehicles. - Closing the "frunk" feels quite fragile, like your going to cave in the hood. - Pulling the third-row seats back up sucks. My favorite part of the car is flooring it with someone who hasn't experienced a Tesla in the passenger seat.
Please invite me over, I will be your passenger. 😅.
I drove one today. OMG!!!! The feeling is insane.
25:58 may be the best sound to come from a Doug DeMuro video yet. It's definitely the sound of a seal climaxing. Not that I've heard that noise until now.
.... And You're in
I was really worried Doug was beginning to get rid of the monkey sound effects, but I’m relieved to be wrong
Life wouldn’t be the same without those monke noises
The worst you had to say about the car was the 3rd row folding operation, which took less than 5 seconds to fold down and back up. I'd say if that's the worst thing about the car, then it's a home run. Minus the fact that it costs as much as my first house did in the 80s.
The worst is the build quality
@@marcusaurelius6847 What makes you say that?
@@marcusaurelius6847 this comments gets old real quick. It’s like the reliability comment about range rovers, from people who have never owned one or just repeats the same comments from decades ago.
@@vc8160 lol I know, right? So every sales person has to hear that from potential customers when they first walk through the door, "but I'v heard this (insert rumor from 50 years ago) about that car." No successful company makes a product and then doesn't work to improve it. A rumor of 50 years ago rarely has validity with new products. Imagine if astronomers just said "Yup, the sun and every other object spins around the earth, the end." and then never bothered to keep investigating.
@@vc8160well it hasn't improved
24:14 one correction here, those upper small windows made to see if nothing will be over the falcon doors. Not that the door would not stop, but it will save your time knowing nothing is blocking it at the moment. Gosh, I want Tesla...
Crazy how it was a Bugatti Veyron that had 1001 hp, and now it's a family crossover
Dont forget it's electric
@@Azdingue well, that makes it only less Impressive because a lot of HP is easier made with Electric than with Combustion. There is a Reason why Combustion Cars with +700hp stock are starting at 350k$
Past 60mph the veyron would wipe the floor with this tho 😅
@@rubenbraekman4515 for sure
This is actually mind boggling
Do anyone else miss when doug go through each number in the Dougscore and explain why the car earned that specific number?
Yes
No
No. Havent watched a Doug Score in years.
Yes
@@RoundenBrown stop spamming bot
I've watched hundreds of Model X videos while waiting for mine to be delivered. This is by far the most in depth I've seen! Side not to all the families out there, the buttons that control the falcon wing doors on the 2nd row can be child locked so don't worry about your kiddos pressing the buttons!
same here！
Whose money did you inherit?
enjoy your window leaks and panel gaps
@@ericimi hard work
@@ericimi it's a tad over 100k not a million
Doug, it's 2022 and an important part of a car is the app that is used with it. Time to also include it in your reviews, because Tesla does the best apps anywhere. For example, you can access a live image of the sentry mode and even speak through the outside speakers remotely to ask anyone messing with your car "what's up". Also, the service experience is completely app-based and super easy.
How about you make the video then?
Nobody cares
My guess since it isn't his car he can't show it?
@@Tony29103 I just like how Tesla has made a proper Family Car for the everyday family.
It also doesn’t have android auto or apple car play in 2022. No Waze or google maps either.
Wow, Doug's face is priceless when he floors it in the X Plaid. I was laughing my ass off. Great work Doug!!
@32:53 I think there was a woman hiding on her knees under the front steering whe...uh, yoke...during that segment...LOL
Someone needs to do an edit of those 3 pulls he does and loop it 😄
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
It seems like a fake reaction
@@masskhamisi4 totally. And he knew exactly what to expect when he floored it. His reaction comes off as unauthentic, rehearsed and ridiculous.
Man I've been watching Doug since 2016 and THIS channel will never get old. Another video well done
2016 was 6 years ago. Wtf that’s crazy to think about
Agreed!!!
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
especially when you watch this versus his original model x review and the parody video, he's really come a long ways.
Since 2015 for me
I didn't read through all of the comments, but the way the dealership showed us how to get into the back seat was to press the button on the middle seat, step in standing up with right foot first and bring left foot in while still shining up, then for bracing yourself put your hands on top of the shoulders of the middle seat and squat down into the back seat. I watched you go in head first which obviously works of course , but after trying this other way it seemed to flow better. Love the videos as always.
Excellent review as usual. Thank you kindly Doug!
I always love the smile and giggles when Doug accelerates in some reviews.
His sound when he came into the backseat was also something special (25:58)
@JENNITA B.O If you're going to try to scam us, speak English. I'm not even going to make a joke about your BO.
same here. I love the joy.
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
Too bad it's fake
There’s a cop car behind Doug as he does the interior review, just patiently waiting for when he starts driving and does his obligatory acceleration and exceeds the speed limit. Doug, we’ll be looking forward to the jail cell review.
"THISSSSSSSSSSS is a holding cell. I will be showing you all of its quirks and features..."
_What a lie. No one dropped the bar of soap when I showered. Jail wasn't as fun as hip hop rappers made it out to be._ -Doug, the inmate reviewer.
Both of these comments got me dying ^^
if you get caught in a tesla plaid then you really deserve jail
If you look closely there's crime scene tape to the right.
I love the model x. Your review made me want one even more
Doug you didn’t notice a few things. For one the boom box can be used so the car makes a sound when you drive. You can record literally anything for that. Also you missed the heated windshield wipers. Button was to the right of the heated wheel
This man is more detailed than other KZheadrs
The sound Doug made when climbing into the back seat😂 25:55
Walking easily thru the center aisle is way easier. We never push the seats forward, since it takes 10x as long.
Absolute sex groan.
Ayoo 😂
Omg, thank you. Laughed so hard.
@@jenjen462 you have an old channel
"You know the S plaid.. WOOOOOOOOHHHHHH" has me dying!!!! 😂😂 Great content as usual!
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
This is the best introduction, orientation, and review of the Tesla X I’ve ever seen. So glad the full/round steering wheel is back.
His face expressions when he floors it 💀
Him talking through the horn speaker has to be the best thing I’ve seen on his channel so far. 🤣🤣 Awesome Doug!!
Yeah that was hilarious 😂😂👍

*"You don't know the powerrrr of QUIRKS side!"* -Darth Features
Just came down here to say that. Lost it lmao
Hahahahaha
26:57. Last thing I’d mention about third row seats. They’re also heated. You have to turn them on with the front screen. But they all come with heated seats.
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
@@RoundenBrown what
No they don’t. Only 5 seats are heated
@@judecrooker6618 They're referring to 19:04 and some other timestamps on the screen
the third row seats are arguably the most comfortable in the industry, if you put your legs down the center aisle. For 6'3 footers like me, it's a breath of fresh air.
I remember back in the 80’s my friend bought a device from JC Whitney. It was a box that we mounted under the dash, a button on the column and a speaker under the hood and a mic. You could make various horn sounds and use it like a loudspeaker ….. just like the Tesla. But it was like $29 I think and was in an old Dodge. 🤣
Hell yea man. Good ol days
Great Video as always Doug. You mention about the glove box not having a latch and the climate controls, heated seats, etc. all being controlled through the touch screen. After owning a Model Y for about 6 months now I have found using the voice commands seem to simplify most of everything you mentioned. Plus, nothing beats some of the unique voice commands that can be used to open the charge port..
HEY! You also use the open butthole command. I thought I was the only one doing that in my model 3 😂
I really have to practice the voice commands more. I quickly get impatient with them - especially when I have passengers. I've owned a Model 3 for 1½ years now and the only voice command feature I really use is "error" to report errors. It might be because my language (Danish) isn't covered as well, but for instance "show tire pressures" just says it can't be shown (or similar) after the UI update where the location was changed and it really only takes one misunderstanding for me to not want to use it because I need to make punctuations between every word like I'm teaching a toddler a sentence structure, and then it takes a few seconds to process, plus is annoying if it does something wrong like turn on the wipers on high...
You missed the fact that you can set it to have the door open automatically when you walk up! It's one of my favorite parts of my Model X. 😀
He did. And I don't trust it with how hard it flings out that door.
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
@@MDKN22 What's to trust? I've had it for 3 years and never had an issue with it. It has sensors and won't open all the way if there's something in the way, same as the back doors.
@@dbrowdy it's a Tesla. Elon's a scam, sorry to tell you. Roadster and Cybertruck aren't coming, and people have plopped down excessive amounts of money and have been left the cold shoulder.
@@MDKN22 Not sure what any of that has to do with the door opening automatically when you walk up to it but you do you...
Loved how after flooring it, Doug looks around for cops haha. So with modern cars, you should also talk about the other screen.... the one in your pocket that can control the car! Also, worth mentioning that voice commands will control most things in this car so going into the screen to control things is mostly not needed. Another thing that is unique to electric cars worth talking about is the integrated charger mapping - if going on a long road trip, the Tesla will do route planning to Superchargers and will let you know how long you'll be at each stop as well as how many people are currently using that supercharger and what facilities (bathrooms, food, etc) are nearby.
I’m pretty sure the cops would just give him a warning. Then drool over the X plaid like I am . I wish I can afford one.
Not a fan of this car at all, plus I can guarantee those vents 8:40 wont warm you enough when its really cold but hey its a SoCal car.
@@niceview2112 wrong. Tesla's are better than traditional vents. Traditional vents tend to target a specific one spot current. Tesla's you feel equally blended all over the cabin.
Plus, you use your phone to Auto-start the heater on your Tesla before you get into it and it's already warm inside. My friend has one and he is always cold and loves this feature for really cold and wet Texas nights.
Totally agree about the phone app review, I've had the Audi Q4 for a few months now and the Audi app is shockingly bad.
Doug is the man, love the reactions to flooring
There is absolutely no way you could fake that reaction to the acceleration. Wow!! Need 1!
It would be funny if Doug started making videos explaining more about the history of car brands!
Doug's reactions to the acceleration was hysterical lol but seriously some of those features are genius. That screen is crazy! I'd be so immature with that megaphone 🤣🤣
One of the preset sounds for the horn was "fart" - why the hell did he not let us hear that?? Dammit lol.
How many people - for those who remember - are going to do the old Mr Microphone commercial 😁
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
Yesss me too, I would constantly scream at other drivers 😂😂😂 But in a "police announcement" voice 😂
More cringe than hysterical
Love the shirt Doug!! Queenstown is so beautiful! Would love to know what year you visited, hope you went up the gondola :)
Doug. You made no mention of the sound deadening speakers, that supposedly drown out road noise. We have an M3P which is pretty noisy at speeds on coarse bitumen, rather than hotmix bitumen. Could you please comment on the effectiveness of these, which are also a feature of the MS
25:09 the moment Doug is waiting for 🙌🏼🔥❤️
Doug is a savage
It’s funny when people praise Tesla for making weird changes to their interior. Every car used to have quirky interiors. We decided we didn’t like that and that’s why most functions are unofficially standardized.
I like the placement of the controls on the yoke. Means you can do most things without having to reach away.
In the pursuit of simplicity, they made everything extremely complicated.
Exactly, opening the glove box being the most blatant example of that.
We get it you guys don’t have Teslas.
headsup displays on tesla's would be a game changer....with that they could eliminate all cluster screens from all models and save more money since heads up displays are pretty cheap
Too risky, it’s more unstable & more prone to critical damage Plus it’s more distracting looking up at ceilings or THRU windshields Compared to JUST looking forward while using a hand to do the job
@@EL2ZGOD Sure i guess, my mom’s 5 series and i know a lot of hondas and toyotas have them as well, but it isn’t distracting what so ever
Hud are so ugly and not many people like them
@@EL2ZGOD more risky and unstable? How so? Sounds like you've never driven a vehicle with a heads up display since the placement is optimal where you can see your speed within line of sight as well as keeping your eyes on the road at the same time.
I'm sure they thought about it, it will definitely come at one point, but I'm not sure it's cheaper, otherwise they probably would have done it. Tesla have gone for a minimalist, no-buttons, interior mostly for costs, including construction ones

@@GrahamStephan hi graham
Soon as he hit the accelerator I burst out laughing…. Him saying woah kinda reminded me of Hank Hill. Dope review Doug!
Great video and very helpful!
Such a great review Dough, I've seen other reviews for the Model X, yours is so much fun and extremely thorough. I should be getting mine July 27- Sept 1st, ordered in Feb 2022. As far as appearance, I find it really attractive but the body kits available for this X, adds more sporty aspect to it. Especially the rear body kits.
You can also open glovebox, control AC, play songs, navigation, etc. using voice commands. Doug also mentions that it is missing a "camera rear view mirror", but it isn't. You have the rear camera view on the large screen as well as side cameras. You can drive forward with them on the screen too.
I don't know if you've ever lived with Tesla voice commands on a daily basis but they aren't very reliable or accurate and depend on good cellular reception to even function at all. Prior model S/X had a physical button that didn't interfere with the minimalistic design and there are absolutely no reasons to not bring that over to the new generation besides cost cutting.
It is missing a camera rear view mirror. The whole point of a camera rear view mirror is so you don’t have to take up space on the center screen to have a clear view of what’s behind you
@@iPhoneAppReviewer I’ve been using it on a daily basis since 2018.
@@andrewmcarling it is a matter of preference, but the feature is there. I drive with cameras on most of the time and switch as needed.
@@andrewmcarling when the screen is that large and high res the rear camera presence doesn't impede other features from being accessible. Most cars on the market have tiny screens with unintuitive OSes that don't allow you to customize the layout.
When Doug reviews a model X, a cycle is complete. Lovely video as always and love the sponsor. I like my youtubers wealthy
Hi Doug. Great review. The rear doors seem to require more room than normal to open. Did you find this to be the case? Is parking the X an issue, space-wise? Thanks!
Doug uploaded tesla model x video long time ago in which he explains and shows this issue
kzhead.info/sun/n62ted2wfoyLjYk/bejne.html
Funny how he did another video showing that he didn’t like the model X but now he makes a new vid showing that he likes the model X plaid 😂😂😂😂
You know a car is really fast when someone has driven nearly every hyper car and he still get amazed of how fast that car is.
TWO TYPES OF ASIANS RADIO!
@@RoundenBrown your comment doenst make sense
It also depends on the times, hypercars of old were slow compared to those of today, and now that the electric motors have come, we know that even present day supercars like the Aventador were never really fast in the first place. But that is logical really, electric motors are to combustion engines what the combustion engines once were to the steam engines.
@@brulaapgaapmeester8052 a lot of those old supercars are faster than most cars on the road, and the aventador is a faster car, capable of 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds, cars with even 300 hp still fast, there are faster cars nowdays but that doesnt make other fast cars slow, 100mph still being the same speed since the beginning of life.
This... is a brand new Tesla Model X Plaid. And it's insane... This is a family crossover with six seats and rear entertainment screens and usb ports for charging your devices. BUT it's also the quickest SUV ever. It has over a thousand horsepower, it does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds... and today, I'm going to review it.
So it’s a boring electric car that I don’t care about Doug? Thanks lol.

One of the first D. D. videos I saw was your review of the original model X (a humorous take on how 'awful' the car was). I think you were in Philly at the time. I was hooked after that. Love the honest reviews, and the chimp sounds... Keep up the good work Doug. 😎👍
I remember being super excited about it, I was working at Tesla at the time and the title legit hurt my feelings until I watched it.
He’s had the Temple Run chimp sounds since the beginning. I wish he did more comedic content like he used to in the Model X video, but unfortunately his channel isn’t that young anymore.

I can't believe you filmed this in Irvine! So cool, Doug!
Cannot overstate how the Falcon Wing doors are the BEST when it comes to getting children in and out of car seats. Even better than sliding doors, especially if you're tall. Wish they were available in something priced closer to premium minivans - under $60K.
The Falcon Wings are super underrated, they work incredibly well and are a marvel of engineering. Also the look really cool i think.
@@davidglieder8862 Doug says the styling doesn't turn heads so it's boring but he says he's annoyed the doors draw attention 🤦♂️
You say they’re better than traditional horizontal sliding doors?? Tell me, how do you open the falcon doors mechanical in the event of electrical failure?? (Genuine question i don’t know much about Tesla’s)
How about when the car is up-side-down in an accident? How about when you have to quickly leave the car in such an accident and the rear doors cannot open at all? Love this car, but have only this concern if I'm going to buy it.
@@wr8thbeatz322 there is a mechanical door release hidden behind the speaker. Pull that, then lift the door up.
Elon: "All cars made since November also have push center for horn - just waiting on firmware update. If you mash right side of yoke with your palm, horn will trigger."
I've never feared window chips more after looking at that windshield. What is that thing actually worth installed if a replacement is needed?

@@zorilaz bruh wtf
21:58 These are the things I love to see in cars; the stupidly unnecessary things that make them that much better
Great video Doug! Ordering my second Model X/family's third/and my fourth Tesla (two model Ss previously). Wanted to see the new features and you've done a great job of highlighting the pros and cons overall coming from someone who intimately knows the precursors. Missed, however, is auto pilot which is a game changer especially if you do any commuting which I do. It's rather nice to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! The regen braking is also worth mentioning - you rarely need to brake and it's fabulously fun on curvy roads. Thanks for taking this one on!
Love that sun visor idea! That said, not sure how I feel about the steering wheel and its controls... I'd definitely have to get behind the wheel before committing to purchase.
I think yoke is just a safety concern in emergency situations. For example when your car starts to spin out because of a crash/hit or any other reason, it would be very hard to make sudden manouvers to save the car from spinning out. Other than that of course it looks cool and futuristic and comfortable.
Considering the state of "full self driving", the last thing I'd want is less of a wheel to be grabbing when taking control back from the car.
I don't get why people complain about yokes in cars, but don't mind them on airplanes.
@@automation7295 Because cars and airplanes are two entirely different things?? What a dumb comment...
@@lukegraham9603 oh word?
@@automation7295 well.. you dont gotta do a 3 point turn in an airplane with half a steering wheel.. it is impractical af in a car.. but ayy we love a change up, doesnt mean its always a good one
Great review Doug! Love the Model X!! Side note: That feeling when you know he's sitting in an LDS church's parking lot just from seeing the lot and of course the cop car in the back (they love to chill out in LDS parking lots 😂).
Great Video Doug!!!
The reactions from Doug when he floors a Plaid are priceless as they are hilarious. I expected a really shocked one on the Nevera but this are just great to watch.
I cancelled my Model X order in 2016 after Doug's review. Finally bought one in 2020 and it is the best car I've ever owned.
Coming from what? An '86 Corolla?

@@nyamnyam32 You're right! Spoken like a true Tesla owner.
Doug gave it a good review in 2016 tho, he said it was one of the best suvs
Omg! This car is so cool! Three rows of seats,1000 horse power and all electric! That is amazing! Also,get ready for those acceleration face memes!
Love Doug’s reaction to the acceleration, I ☠️ laughing
The voice u made the Tesla in freaked me out so much my puppy started wuffing like gravel/rocks from the other room downstairs omg
Good thing about the screens are driver profiles too, they save almost every setting so you don't have to go into the screen as much
My favorite thing about the plaid variants is how subtle the styling is. I wish there was even less difference between the plaid and the plain. I don't ever want to know what kind of Tesla it is until its already beating me
I feel like if you race a Tesla you should expect to lose either way no matter what model it is. Unless your pulling a lot of power lol
I swear there's nothing subtle about it. You can tell a Tesla from a mile away.
@@DLK96 Tesla vs other Teslas, not other cars, he was saying the subtlety in differences between variants of Teslas
@@Tharvey9421 Only the Plaids, Model 3 Performance, P3D-, Model S P90D and P100D are truly fast (in a straight line) . Everything else is above 4.0s 0-60.
I actually enjoy ads when Doug talks about them 😅
An ad in a video AND Doug still won’t admit the yoke is a terrible idea…I think Big Tesla has our favorite KZheadr under contract or something! ;) In all honesty though, don’t mind the ads especially if they help someone as wholesome as Doug get even more of his dream cars for us to watch.
According to Doug, he would only do a sponsor if he actually uses it, like Cars & Bids, the Bluetooth speaker from 3 years ago, and Credit Sesame.
@@bonzobonanza Lol. I remember that speaker. I’m not sure he needs credit sesame though. If measly old me can manage to have an 800 credit score I’m sure he’s maxed out by now. I’m sure common sense and/or his wife just told him how harmless ads would be and how much extra revenue they bring in.
Doug you are not supposed to use the other door option it can cause damage , don't forget when you get into the driver's seat you can close your door by putting your foot on the brake pedal.
I wish this car had the new plaid badge! I was looking to hearing Doug’s opinion on it
Hey Doug, how comfortable are those seats? They look comfortable, but I was just wondering!
Great and complete review Doug! The face of someone flooring the fastest SUV in the world is the extra bonus in this video! 🚘🔌⚡
It's crazy I've never been too into the model x but the model x plaid changes my mind.
Look at Rich Rebuilds channel on the X. Things fall apart left and right its OK for peeps under warranty NOW but soon they wont be....
@@rickjohansson4257 Wait you mean the flooded salvaged model X that Rich tore completely apart, tried replacing the battery and put back together with chicken wire and duct tape? That Model X? Do you really think that is a good illustration of what the X really is?
@@Aircam73 lmfao
@@Aircam73 lmfaoo 💀🤣🤣🤣
@@rickjohansson4257 not sure how the Tesla manufacturing process works, but I don't think Tesla floods their new model X's on purpose and leave em in a junkyard before putting them on the lot.
I literally set my climate control to “auto” and never touched it again. Being in a screen menu really not an issue.
right? my car from 2003 has auto climate, i set it to 22 degrees two years ago and haven't touched it since. except for the occasional defogger press
This! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 people that play with their climate control constantly are weird. Just set it and forget it
The main problem is operating the heated seat and wheel controls which is a major pain because you have to be precise with your screen inputs, while driving over bumpy roads that proves to be very difficult. I end up accidently pressing temp up/down and pretty much have to take my focus off the road for a couple of seconds to tap the right part of the screen and then additionally have to precisely tap the heated seat button and choose temp. Sounds minor in plain text but in real world driving scenarios a couple of seconds focused on that could end badly.
Easy trade for me to have the uncluttered dash v. pressing the screen twice to get my controls.
@@g35crazy people that say This! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾instead of just writing what they want to write are weird
04:09 I bet anything that the point where Doug almost got "hit" by the gullwing door was carefully choreographed. I just know Doug's sense of humor...
Shout to Honda who had a blind spot camera in the 2013 Accord
