I'm tired of apologizing for buying a Tesla

My friends and neighbors are always used to seeing me drive the latest and greatest German Import. As a traveling salesman I will short term lease either a Mercedes or Audi. Now that I'm thinking about retiring soon I wanted to buy a car that would last, less headaches and was cheaper to maintain and operate. The Tesla Model 3 was the answer. However now all my friends are thinking- 'well la-de-dah - look at you buying a Tesla now', thinking that again I'm upgrading. I'm tired of apologizing or explaining my thought process to everyone. Little do they know that this car is $20,000 less than the last Audi A6 I had. Not only is this car cheaper than the last cars I had, it is twice as better. I will never go back to driving an ICE car again. I've always loved driving manual shift cars with sweet sounding exhaust. And I thought I would miss the driving control experience with a Tesla - Wrong. This car is a blast to drive! It handles curves better than any sports car I've had. Mastering 1 pedal driving is as bit as much fun as juggling 3 pedals for a manual shift. The acceleration always puts a smile on my face. You feel like you are in a roller coaster. The sensation of the loud rumbling v8 has been replace with quite whirr that winds and winds the faster you go. I really feel like I'm driving the vehicle we should be driving in 2020. I was actually considering buying a new Camaro so I rented one. I flicked on the radio (yes cars still have them) and on came Lynard Skynard's Freebird, I was feeling pretty nostalgic - being in one of my favorite cars from the late 70's, listening to one of my favorite songs from high school, when I realized hey wait a minute nothing has really changed with this car or any other car in 40 years! Only a Tesla owner can appreciate this next sentiment - every time a friend of mine buys a new BMW or Audi I will congratulate them aloud on buying such a cool car, but quietly I am saying to my myself 'you poor sap - those things are soo antiquated.

Amazing car. Years ahead of any ICE vehicle

I’ve driven the Model 3 2600 miles. I’ve driven from Connecticut to Boston twice and Connecticut to Long Island once. I commute in the car 60 miles a day. The car is extremely quick. However the more aggressively you drive the vehicle, the less efficient it becomes. The auto steer feature is convenient as well as the adaptive cruise control. I did not purchase FSD. The seats at comfortable. Radio is fantastic. No SIRUS radio. You can use your phone. Safety features good, however, no audible alerts for lane assist. You only have a visual alert of cars in the blind spot. Kia has a better blind spot warning system. No autonomous rear braking. Jeep has a good system. Musk can fix the two deficiencies with software updates. Supercharging not bad will get quicker on road trips. You will save money on fuel. Drive responsibly and you won’t pay that much in electricity.

Tesla made the first real new car since the T-Ford. Our cars from 2019 are basically the same as the car made in 1919 and Tesla put an end to this. Nothing is the same, not even details like entering the car, ventilation, charging, navigation, interface, autopilot, etc, etc. I've driven tons of cars (barrels and Maseratis, clunkers and Aston Martins) but the Model 3 is by far my best car. It's fast, road holding is amazing, the interior is stunning and it's relatively cheap. If you consider the (huge!) savings on gas, tires and brake revisions (compared to other fast cars) the Model 3 is very cost effective. The reason for this are the powerful electric motors that regenerate energy when you lift the accelerator. The car slows down rapidly so you literally almost never will have to use your brake pedal. Traveling thru Europe is very easy, the navigation system guides you to the closest Superchargers and tells you how much to charge and how long it will take. Tesla started a revolution, but lots of people still aren't convinced, is my experience. See if I care! But if you drive it once you'll never by a combustion engine again in your life. Update after 6 months: no problems whatsoever. Updates keep making the car better and faster. Update after 12 months: All OK. Drove my old hybrid Lexus last week. Incredibly old-fashioned, compared to my Tesla. Home charging works fine. I only use superchargers on very long trips. Update 2021: sold the M3 and bought a M3 Performance. Improved road holding and......faster! Update 2022: no problems concerning the Performance. Driving in Italy and long distance to Amsterdam is easy: superchargers are popping up everywhere. Mileage is perfect while the car is incredibly fast. Didn’t need to change tyres nor brakes after 40.000 km, which is remarkable considering weight and performance. Customer service (recall) was perfect.

Why buy non-Tesla EV?!

Have had the model 3 for 3 weeks, very happy with it. It's such fun to drive this car, the acceleration, the handling, etc. The touch screen is VERY easy to get used to, there is NO distraction. With model 3 now at such a low price level compared to other EVs, with much longer range and better technology, I wonder why people buy other EVs?

When you spend $65,000 for a vehicle, you expect everything to work. This was not the case with my new model three. The Bluetooth connection would not work. My phone and all other Bluetooth devices could not connect. The tech people could not correct this, so they re-downloaded the software. This did not correct the problem, and in fact stopped the rearview camera from working. It also stopped the audible Blindspot monitoring alert to stop functioning. While going through all this, I found out that Tesla vehicles do not have automatic rear breaking, and do not have rear cross traffic alert which is standard on most vehicles at this price. While this car is wonderful to drive, it functions like a computer which can malfunction at any time. I simply did not trust it, and returned it within the seven day period.
