The Evolution of Tesla Model S: From Hero to Villain

The Tesla Model S, once hailed as one of the best cars in the world, has now become a disappointment. The Model S Plaid, with its over 1000 horsepower and yoke steering wheel, lacks the necessary chassis, steering, and brakes to handle its power. In contrast, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S offers a dynamically perfect driving experience. The Model S's underbraked design reflects the shoddy engineering happening at Tesla, where resources may be spread too thin. The car's decline mirrors Elon Musk's own transformation from hero to villain, as both phrases "you either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain" and "he who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster" apply to him.
