To Test Drive a Tesla 3, I had to Buy a Tesla 3!

I purchased a Tesla 3 on March 17, 2019, because they did not offer test drives, but offered a free return of the car within 7 days. I returned it within 2 days, on March 19, 2019 (I never would have bought it if I had been able to test drive it!). I have been waiting for more than 2 months for my refund. I figure I have lost more than $750 in interest since I returned the vehicle. I have spent hours trying to reach someone to help me, but (1) they did not answer the phone locally and I never found a national number; (2) they did not respond to my emails; and (3) "Chats" with Customer Service only passed me on to someone else or promised a date I would get the car. This is not only bad business, but I think it is fraud.

The model 3 is totally different then any vehicle I've ever drive. The user interface (controls) take a couple of days to get comfortable with, but once you get comfortable you will never want to got back to a more conventional vehicle. The seats are the most comfortable I've ever experienced. I experience less stiffness during a long road trip then other luxury cars I've owned. The only recommendation I have is to offer vented/cooled seats. The performance can't be explained and has to be experienced. Make sure your passengers aren't looking down at their phones when you hit the accelerator hard or you might give them a sore neck (happened to my wife when I first took her for a drive). Electric car specific info: - Charging at home is simple and inexpensive. I had 240v outlet added to my garage (cost $200 but depends on where your panel is...). My home charging cost about $6-$8 for 300 miles depending on seasonal utility rates. Charging on the road is fast and easy but costs around $15-$20 for a change (still less than gas). I usually charge for about 20-30 minutes and gain about 200 miles (enough time to get a quick but to eat). I've put 15000 miles on the car in 7 months so chatting hasn't held me back. The lack of routine maintenance is refreshing, no oil changes..., just rotate tires and fill washer fluid so far. The reliability has greatly improved now that Tesla gone thru some learning pains. UPDATE: I've had the car for 20 months and 37,000 miles. I still love the car and haven't had any issues. Long road trips do take a bit more planning and my typical 13 hour trip takes about 14 hours (an extra hour because of charging). UPDATE (May 2021): 2 & 1/2 years and 65K miles, no mechanical issues and battery pack has held up extremely well. I've only lost 2% of range (303 miles from 310). UPDATE (Nov 2022): 3 & 1/2 years and 90K miles, front upper control replaced under warranty but no other mechanical issues. Battery pack still holding up well, lost 3% of range (300 miles from 310)

I bought my model 3 in April of 2019. I went for a test drive on a Saturday (loved the car), applied online for financing on Sunday (and was approved within minutes) and picked the car up on Monday! Best car buying experience ever! Luckily they had inventory at the time. I have now owned my model 3 for almost 1 year and have 20,500 miles on the odometer. I can say without a doubt this is the best car I have ever owned! Until you have owned one you really can't understand why they are so great! You can't understand what it means to not have to go to the gas stations twice a week (in my case). You can't understand what it's like to not have to go get the oil changed every 3-4 months. You can't understand what it's like to not have to check any fluids (other than the windshield washer fluid). You can't understand what it's like to have a fully charged vehicle waiting for you every morning with a preconditioned cabin (warm or cool). You can't understand....I could go on and on but the point is....You just can't understand until you've owned one. People have to stop comparing these cars to ICE vehicles because there is no comparison. This car is fast, smooth, quiet and very comfortable. Yes, there are ICE vehicles that are those things as well but they don't do them in the same way. The minimalist design may not be for everyone which I understand. I personally like the design but it's not for everyone. Having a single 15 inch screen for everything is fantastic. Not having any dash lights right in front of your eyes when driving at night helps with being able to see. I love getting over the air updates which continually improve the vehicle. No more having to go to the dealer to have them install an update on the car. My car's range and 0-60 time have both increased since I bought the car. I can watch Netflix or Hulu while I wait for the kids to get out of school or while I wait for them to get done with practice. The navigation is one of the best I have ever used. You put in your destination on your phone and then you can share it with your Tesla. I have taken this car on an 1,100 mile round trip using superchargers the whole way and it performed flawlessly! The navigation tells you when you need to stop, how long you can expect to be there and how much charge you should have when you are done. Every stop I was the only one charging and by the time my family and I were done in the gas station the car was ready to go (I guess I have been to a gas stations since I bought the car). It took no longer than stopping to fill the gas tank and use the restroom when traveling with an ICE vehicle. The one issue I had with the vehicle was a squeak coming from the front driver side wheel. I had a mobile tech come out and take a look at it. He removed wheel and dust cover to see if there was a rock lodge between the rotor and dust cover. There was not. He couldn't find the cause of the squeak. I had to take the care to the service center where they determined the rotor had a small abnormality that was causing it to rub. They ended up replacing both front rotors and all brake pads which fixed the problem. Besides new tires at 14,500 miles (I was hard on the first set of tires) I have had to do nothing to maintain the car. I would recommend that if you are in the market for a new vehicle and this is in your price range that you take the time to schedule a test drive. They say the test drive is Tesla's secret weapon and I have to agree with them! After all, I had my car 2 days after the test drive! Safe driving!
Prepare Cabin for Take-Off

Wouldn't it be nice to get into a comfortable Pre-conditioned cabin each time you are about to take a trip? Whether it be a cold winter day with frosted windshields or hot during the summer, the Tesla phone application will allow you to adjust cabin temperature in just a few minutes. Simply throw your Winter-coat, hat & cloves in the trunk and take-off !
