Excellent car, sub-par service

The car is excellent. I drive 144 miles a day in it and love every second of it. I have the AWD long range battery and so far have not had any major issues. The self-driving is great and gets better with every update, and not having to fill up with gas or perform oil changes is a nice perk. There is a weird noise here and there but they dont last long and I cant remember ever being in a car where there wasnt a noise coming from somewhere, however the service is sub-par. It takes a while to get a hold of or hear back from Tesla, and my car did come with a scratch when it was home delivered.

I was one of the first to receive the Model 3 Performance, fully loaded. Every day this car is a joy to drive. Whenever I get into any other car, it's just a sigh. The handling, acceleration, fit and finish and electronics are not like any other car I've ever driven. The range of over 300 miles is more than enough for 95% of my driving and when I need to plan a trip that includes recharging, it' becomes just part of ownership and not an inconvenience. T It does take maybe a week to get totally accustomed to the center display that controls virtually everything on the car. Once you become comfortable with it, you'll realize that this is how car controls should be laid out. And as with your iPhone, this car is updated regularly which means that the car I have is the most up-to-date Tesla on the road. Let that sink. It's that spectacular. If you're considering buying this car, go drive one and talk with someone who owns one. You'll get honest feedback that will help you to understand that your fears are based on the unknown, not on shortcomings of this car.

The Model 3 continues to be best car I have ever owned. It handles amazingly, has blazing acceleration and a comfortable well made interior. Have had no significant issues in 10 months of ownership with excellent fit and finish, the best electronics on the planet and great practicality. I have adjusted to the touch screen with time and it is no longer distracting at all. Apple play would be nice but available streaming in the car is fine. We installed a charger at home with a 240 volt line which cost $1000 installed. Costs me $50/ month in electricity charges, about 1/3 of previous gasoline costs with no other maintenance costs. Rotate tires every 6 months and change brake fluid every other year....that’s it. The Tesla supercharger network is excellent and fast and the navigation system will direct to the nearest chargers given your range and destination. The future is truly here now!!!!

I took delivery of my Model 3 in March and after 5 months I couldn't go back to a non electric vehicle. I think you need to be somewhat of a technical person to really embrace this vehicle but I think that is true for most new vehicles. The ride is excellent, the interior is a bit spartan but very comfortable. I am 6'3" and 190 lbs and could ride in it all day. I do have the premium interior and Full Self Driving and would recommend those options. The acceleration is awesome as is the Traffic Aware Cruise Control. It really is one foot driving and I use it all the time. Autopilot is great for major highways and interstate driving but useless around town IMHO. Overall I would highly recommend this vehicle! Feb 29, 2020 I purchased a separate app in April of 2019 called 'Stats: For Tesla Model S/X/3' by MaaDoTaa that keeps track of many things and one is the cost of charging your vehicle. In 11 months it has only cost me $175 in electricity charges based on charging at home at $0.11 per Kwh that the JEA charges. That's pretty awesome!! I have had zero issues with my car and would continue to very highly recommend it! Ok, it's now been 2 years and I still absolutely love my model 3!! I only have 8,700 miles on the car but that's exactly why I purchased an electric vehicle. The day to day driving i do is perfect for a BEV. We have gone a couple of excursions that required charging at the supercharging stations and that was not an issue. It's amazingly fast and we ate lunch while the car charged or just got out and stretched. The supercharging infrastructure is a great selling point for a Tesla as well. I have nothing but good things to say about my Model 3! Alright, it's now been 2 1/2 years and I still love my model 3!! I only have 10,407 miles on the car but that's exactly why I purchased an electric vehicle. They are perfect for the type of driving that I do which is mostly just around town. I have had ZERO issues with the car. They have updated the APP for IOS recently and I am running the 2021.24.4 software version. I use TACC (Traffic Aware Cruise Control) almost all the time but use Autopilot only on the Interstate when I go to visit my daughter. TACC is wonderful IMO but my girlfriend hates the way it accelerates and the way it slows down (which is too slow for her) I explained that it is designed to maximize the regenerative braking and while she understands that, she doesn't like it! I still tend to disengage the TACC when going thru a turn from a stoplight. it's way too herky-jerky in that scenario. I hope that Version 10 of Autopilot, that is due out in late September is much better than the current version. Given everything I still think it's the best electric car on the road today for the money. Of course if money was not an object I would have myself a Plaid Model S!! :-) March 2022- I have had the FSD Beta for about 3 months now and it's pretty amazing. It is scary at times (It IS A BETA) and you have to watch it all the time BUT it's very useful especially in heavy traffic. I have issues with phantom braking, that is my biggest issue with it. Now with gas going up in price the car is paying for itself. My monthly bill to fill the car up is about $10.00. In all of January it cost me $24.31. Of course I don't drive alot of miles, 4,000 a year but I bet it would have cost more than that for gas! I have had no issues with it and I still think it's one of the best cars out there. March 2023 I have had the Model 3 for 4 years now and I still LOVE my Model 3! We take it whenever we go on trips as my girlfriend loves to drive it now too. I only paid $5k for the FSD option and I really thought that it would be fully available by now. If I had paid what they are asking now, $15k, I would be a bit miffed that it, The FSD, has not reached fruition but the Beta is worth the $5k I paid. Lets face it, level 4 and 5 autonomy is VERY DIFFICULT to achieve. I would say that about 70% of the time the FSD BETA is at a Level 3 autonomous car. I drive from St Augustine Beach to Jacksonville once a month and I let the FSD do as much as it can and most of the time it will do 98% of the trip without me intervening. That's including city driving but mostly I-95. OK, I still love my Tesla!

The Tesla Model 3 LR AWD is my first EV. I had planned on another brand originally, but went with the Model because it was half the price and a few other reasons. My car was built 6/19. I am very satisfied with the build quality. The panel gaps are a bit inconsistent, but totally acceptable. I have the white premium interior which also great. Fit is not perfect, but also very acceptable. Very happy I went with the white interior, especially in the summer. The premium interior is very comfortable, seats are highly adjustable and supportive. The quality of the sound system is excellent (immersive sound). I'm really liking the Slacker streaming radio. You can pick your favorite genres of songs. The quality and variety of the music has been enjoyable. No commercials or DJs. I think you get a free year? Bluetooth streaming with my iPhone works well, but I think you have to select the music from the phone, unfortunately. I have the 18 inch aero wheels and I think they are great. The ride is very smooth and quiet even at highway speeds. There is a little wind and road noise, but not intrusive. I'm listening to music anyway. There are no rattles, which is critical in an EV.. The power of the LR AWD is incredible. Mashing the accelerator is like an airplane taking off - pinned to the back of your seat, linear, smooth. The steering is precise and nimble. If you drive reasonably, it is very efficient. On my commutes to work on mainly secondary roads I've been using 160s-170 Wh/mile (36 mile round trip). A recent 160 mile highway trip, speed set 70-75 mph, used 230 wh/mile, a/c set to 73 deg. Part of trip was stop/go traffic, outside temp 98 deg. The a/c worked well. The nav is great, shows traffic, speaks directions very clearly, and chooses the best routes. My other nav systems have chosen some questionable routes. The screen is very responsive and quick. The interior is minimalist. I'm getting used to it. It's bright and airy. In an EV I don't think you want too many lights, bells and whistles draining your electricity. Charging is flawless. I'm using a Juice Box Pro 40 with the J1772-Tesla adapter, level 2. Just charged using a Chargepoint charger and it was simple and flawless. I have 1000 miles of free supercharging to use. Homelink works flawlessly to automatically open and close my garage door. The Model 3 has made the transition to electric mobility an easy one. I have yet to drive in cold temperatures, so I can't comment on the efficiency in those conditions. These are my early impression
