Now 12 months and 10,000 miles on my dual motor long range model 3. Pros continue to be the joy of driving a responsive well built car, the incredible technology the acceleration, the front seat comfort. The list goes on. Several long trips have been a pleasure since there are Superchargers everywhere that charge at almost 500 miles per hour. Updates continue free which add to the experience. The only con in my opinion is the paucity of service centers.

This car is the future, love not only the tech with self driving like features on the highway, self parking and summoning the car but driving it is also ridiculously fun and makes you not want to use the self driving features. I had a Porsche before this and this 4 door car is both faster and somehow more agile. It’s a beautiful piece of work product.

quite an unbelievable value, for the price of a Prius you get a real car, that looks good, fantastic performance, no engine noise, glued to the ground, with all the bells and whistles. There is plenty of room, I have taken 5 people on a ride, it is fine, as for storage again there is plenty of room. The acceleration is surprising it's like your on a roller coaster ride, WHOOSH, your gone! I commute 100 mi, plug it in, it charges after midnight for the lowest electrical rate, I don't know how long it takes, I don't care, the car is ready the next morning. No more pitstops for gas, oil change, fantastic. Update, March 2019, I have over 12000 miles, no problem to report, still in love with it! Update September 2019. I have over 20000 miles, still no problem, still love it. My only disappointment is that it is noisy, ie road noise, wind noise, I have installed the soundproofing gasket kit for the doors and trunks and the panoramic glass. All this is helping, but it is not an Audi....will change the tires soon, hope that will improve it some more. I replaced the original Conti at 27,300 miles, which is very good for OEM tires. I replaced them with a set of Verestein Quatrac 5. These are superior to the conti. Softer ride, less noise, seems like they roll better, very good handling 4 1/2 years old, 85K miles, still has the same range and power!

This is the easiest car to use EVER.......just need so break in use to figure all the incredible benefits of the car. I does everything with your smart phone or key card, Music system is amazing! You never have to start, just get in, hardly every brake due to regenerative braking, when you park, one touch sets emergency brake, shuts off the car when you get out and locks it automatically, set security system, even opens, and closes your garage door automatically! I get in my wife 2016 ICE car and I feel like I'm stepping back in time 30 years. The long range tesla @ 310 miles range helps completely eliminate "range anxiety" which I am sure you would get with any EV cars that get less than 200 miles per charge. The Carbon footprint of this car is non existent when you use so you and everyone that owns a EV are helping "Our Mother Earth and Global Warming Issues" Thank you Elon Musk for moving the needle to get other companies to seriously address EVs and this Carbon issue. Another thank you to the State of Washington people for voting in a Carbon Tax to help cut our Very bad Carbon issue on this planet.
