Why the Tesla Model S is the Most Important Car of the Last 30 Years – Doug DeMuro Agrees!
Doug DeMuro, the car reviewer extraordinaire, recently dropped a bombshell: the Tesla Model S is the most important car of the last 30 years. With the news that Tesla is sunsetting the Model S and Model X programs by the end of June, Doug had some glowing praise for this iconic vehicle.
"The Model S really changed the world. It made you think that EVs could be cool, fast, and luxurious. It really reset any public opinion about electric vehicles that you didn't have to make major compromises. They created a cultural icon. If you create a list of the top 10 cars that change the world, Model S is in the top five."
It's awesome to see Doug giving the Model S its flowers. I couldn't agree more – this car redefined what an electric vehicle could be.
My Take on the Current Model S
I wasn't around the Tesla scene back when the original Model S launched, but the refreshed version? It's fantastic. Super comfortable, incredibly capable, and still one of the best sedans out there. On my personal ranking of the best Teslas right now:
- Cybertruck (no contest for me)
- Model S
It's a close second, and if you're in the market for a luxury EV, it's hard to beat.
Elon's Response: Order Soon!
Elon Musk didn't miss a beat. He replied:
"The Model S and Model X are great cars. Order soon before we sunset the program in about a few months."
That's right – end of June is the deadline. If you've been eyeing one, now's the time to lock it in.
A Heads-Up on Full Self-Driving (FSD)
One interesting detail we learned recently: If you opt for the Lux package, Full Self-Driving does not transfer with the vehicle upon sale. It gets stripped out. This aligns with Tesla's push toward making FSD a subscription service across their lineup. Something to keep in mind if resale value is on your radar.
