In this episode of Hoovies Garage, we witness the arrival of the cheapest Tesla Model S Plaid in the USA, purchased for a mere $47,000 with 58,000 miles on the clock. The host delves into the world of electric car depreciation, highlighting the staggering $100,000 drop in value for this high-performance electric sedan. As he embarks on a 600-mile journey home in the dead of winter, battling battery performance issues, the host reflects on the challenges of maintaining a work-life balance in the digital age, endorsing BetterHelp therapy for support.
Amidst the host's musings on grief and missed opportunities, he compares the Tesla Plaid to other luxury electric cars in terms of depreciation, showcasing the unique value proposition of this aging yet still impressive vehicle. From the car's upgraded features like Sentry mode cameras to the interior improvements and gimmicky light shows, the host takes us on a tour of the Plaid's unique offerings. The drag strip mode test reveals the mind-bending acceleration capabilities of the Plaid, leaving both the host and viewers in awe of its sheer performance.
Navigating supercharger stops and real-world range challenges, the host provides a candid look at the practicality of electric cars for long-distance journeys. Despite facing lower range in cold weather and extended charging times, the host ultimately completes the journey, opting to drive the Plaid home instead of risking shipping scams. A thrilling drag race between the Plaid and a Bugatti Veyron adds a touch of adrenaline to the episode, showcasing the Plaid's impressive performance against a high-end supercar.
