I'm a previous owner of VW, BMW, Acura and others and I can honestly say this is the best vehicle I've EVER owned. I've had the car for 5 months and am excited to get in it every day! It updates like a phone, the regen braking is amazing and means no brake pad replacements and the technology is unmatched. Did I mention it drives like a performance car! Just love it.

I have 30,000 miles on the car now and love it as much as when I first bought it. This is by far my favorite car I've ever owned because of the way it handles and how fun it feels to drive. It is an expensive car but I can see the cost savings kick in now having owned it for almost two years. It's about one quarter the price of gas and the only regular service costs are tire rotation. It is a firm sporty ride so that might not be everyone's thing.

I was angling for a Porsche 911 and than God I did not buy that car. This is an amazing car. Nothing comes close -period. I have owned five mercedes cars. This is awesome in terms of performance, fabulous in terms of acceleration and brilliant technology. Just went on a 500 mile road trip with auto pilot for most of the way. I have a steep ramp - a bit of a hassle to merge with trucks hurtling down. Now I zoom up the steep ramp at 80mph and slow down to merge -) Unreal. Several software updates. Just read about cool stuff in keeping you in lane even without auto pilot. Car is getting better all the time. Unreal. No regular maintenance. I barely use the brake due to regenerative braking - just foot off the pedal. Brakes may last 100K miles. Now they are saying this car will last 500K miles. As per Elon, 1 million miles. Eventually, this will cost me the same as a Camry. I will only buy Teslas and I have already ordered the new SUV. Most of my friends have bought one and they all love it. I know one who already has 3 Teslas (including a gorgeous white interior SUV) and has ordered a roadster! This is an amazing car. Test drive one before you buy a merc, bimmer etc. Just see the amazing reviews. Goodluck!

I have owned the 2018 Tesla Model 3 Extended Range for over a year now and can honestly say that I enjoy it more every day. I previously owned a 2016 Tesla Model X which I sold when I took delivery it the Model 3. The Model X was a wonderful car, however its range was limited to 260 miles. The Model 3 has a range of 310 miles and a 10 out of 10 fun factor. I like it so much that I will probably move up to the P3D!
