Great car in the front, not in the back!

We have only had this car a few months. And we have loved most features. The big screen is wonderful and the lack of maintenance is amazing. However...the door handles try to look cool but are difficult. Do not take a road trip in the backseat. There is no leg room. The worst was when I was behind the driver seat with my legs under the seat before the driver got in. The seat automatically puts itself into position and then presses down. So it crushed my feet not allowing ample time for the driver to know how to reverse it if possible. The seat continues to push down. Self driving is too jerky for busy roads but is awesome for highways with less traffic. I wish I had feeling in my feet while writing this!😐 I am unsure at this time how I feel about Tesla. It is a nice toy for my husband.

Whole New Ball Game

Sorry all you lovable curmudgeons at Edmunds but, despite your silly nitpicking, you know you loved driving this car. It's comfortable, stable, insanely fast and fun, and way ahead of the competition in technology. Still, it's kind of cute that you rated tech a 7 because it doesn't have the Apple or Android things. My wife gives technology about 30 minutes before she goes looking for a hammer to smash it and she took to the Tesla interface in about 10 minutes - that's how good it is. And with each effortless software update it just keeps getting better. And, really, the screen is a driver distraction? And the 20 or more buttons or knobs on a traditional vehicle aren't? You know this is an entirely new breed that blows away every ICE competitor anywhere close to the same price but you just can't bring yourself to say so. Someday you should post your requirements for the car that's gets your precious 10 rating. In the meantime, I will enjoy my Tesla WAY more than what you are driving.

It’s just stupid good

I bought a model 3 in July. It’s the base model —$40k. It is the future for all the positive review reasons given elsewhere. The simplest I can put it is this. Have you ever bought a car and then longer you own it the better it gets? Me neither. Until now. With the latest software update, I picked up ten more miles of charge and improvements in numerous features from wipers to music streaming. No one is even close to Tesla in driving the future of the automobile and the Model 3 is at the front of that future.

We got this car having never test driven a Tesla as we are environmentally conscious and have solar panels on our house and were looking to go electric. In my opinion it is the only electric car that you can truly road trip with given the 300+ mile range and supercharger network that is unmatched by other auto companies at this time. Hopefully that changes. Considered a plug-in hybrid but this does have the added advantage of lower maintenance and hopefully longevity. We have always driven Accords/Camrys, so this is definitely an upgrade. It is wonderful getting 130 miles to the gallon equivalent, and love the fact that the crash testing results are so high (plus the accident avoidance even though we didn't purchase Autopilot). Didn't expect so many people to ask me about my car but it's nice explaining all the advantages of an electric car to them as most people are really worried about charging issues which I have found to be minimal with this car. I have only supercharged once on a long road trip; otherwise just use a dryer plug at a relatives house or hotel overnight. We have 9,000 miles on the car in 6 months. The driving experience is great and the tech is a nice touch, but these reasons were at the bottom of our list when it came to a purchase decision. I think the Edmunds review about the touchscreen is a bit overblown. After 2 weeks of driving the car, you basically have all your settings saved; Spotify is now available as well. You get used to 1 pedal driving pretty quickly as well and the last update to come will now regenerate the car to a stopping position. I hope the purchase cost continues to come down for electric cars as it seems this is the main downside (long-term cost of ownership is more appealing though).

Almost 4 years of ownership and I still love this car!! It is a better car than when I bought it. It is faster, has more games and more features than when I bought it. I love driving it!
