Great tech, fun, but mediocre fit and finish

Will admit, I was reluctant at first. I was able to find a comparable gasoline powered premium car (albeit slightly used, which is my strategy for dodging the depreciation cliff that happens in year 1 - I owned two G80's that I absolutely loved) for less money. But I was so tired of the cars I purchased becoming so obsolete so fast, so I begin really digging into research around Tesla. What did it for me was the almost fanatic way owners bragged about their model 3s. I had never seen this before. Tons of Youtube videos and written reviews are dedicated to people who will tell you why they love their cars so much. Now after a two weeks of ownership, I can honestly say that I see why people are so fanatic. This is by FAR the best buying decision I've ever made!! I absolutely love driving my model 3. I literally find myself figuring out reasons to go out just so I can drive it! It is a joy for so many reasons: 1. Tech will blow you away. You quickly realize after only a few hours of ownership how unnecessary buttons, dials, knobs and gauges really are. The autonomy features are amazing. The car is incredibly smart. 2. Comfort. It is so quiet its almost eerie. 3. Updates - the over the air updates (coupled with lack of knobs and buttons) means unlike other cars, yours will never become obsolete. How many other cars can you purchase that become 20-30% better each year!! 4. Accessories - holy cow. there are a ton of things you can do to accessorize your vehicle after you purchase it, which I'll admit, has been fun. 5. Performance. I watched the Corvette C8 unveil yesterday, and how they were saying the base model will do 0-60 in about 5 sec. I can do it in my daily driver in 4.7! And let me tell you, when you're getting on the freeway and need to pass, no gas powered car can outrun you! its simply the fastest car I've ever driven - and I don't even have the performance model. I literally find myself laughing at all the Mercedes, BMWs and Audi's I pass. Now some things I have to live with for all the benefits outlined above: 1. Springs are a bit stiff. I wish there was a comfort suspension mode for times when I don't want to be as connected to the road. 2. Wish there was a moonroof option 3. Apple Car Play would be nice only because it's what I was used to. 4. Range mileage can be misleading, so you need to pay attention. Best advice I received was buy the most range you can afford. I did and don't regret that. 5. Streaming service sometimes cuts out, so I end up relying more on my Apple Music from my phone. All that said, I will more than likely never purchase a gasoline powered car again! This is by far the best and most fun car experience I've ever had! Would highly recommend!

Great acceleration. Great ride. I’ve owned the car 1 month and am very pleased. Ordered Mar 1, deviered Mar 30. Panel display takes a few days to get used to, but is generally intuitive. 300+ range a great feature. Very good sound system and climate controls. So far has exceeded expectations

Good car but too many manufacturing defects

It's a great card to drive but there are too many manufacturing issues. Tesla start charing money to fix their own issues. It already has few issues related to various controls in my car. Filing complain to BBB. Stay away for this car for few more years till Tesla fixes and improve manufacturing practice.

I’ve owned dozens of cars in my nearly 30 years of driving, everything from sedans to trucks and especially sports cars and muscle cars. The tesla model 3 has just blown me away in what it represents. A complete rethinking of the car basically. The performance, drivability, comfort, and efficiency are unbeatable. I’ve owned my long range rear drive for about 6 months and nearly 10k miles and have already done a few longer road trips (~1000 miles in a few days) and the supercharging infrastructure is also revolutionary. The mapping program suggests the best stops and times for the shortest drive for you. I actually enjoy the supercharger stops because they’re usually in decent areas, with coffee shops, or near funky downtowns, and give me an interesting opportunity to walk around a bit (munch better than walking around truck stops let me tell you!!). Anyway, if you’re in the market for anything in the 30,000 price range you need to do yourself a favor and consider the baby tesla. It’s as roomy or roomier as any large sedan (Camry/accord) and for a similar selling price, it’s like buying a Camry vs a spaceship. Seriously! Anyway, enjoy the ride, that’s what life is all about.

Tesla Model 3 Mix review

The car is extremely fast, very comfortable to drive and very safe. The first issue was picking up the car. I have to drive 200 miles to pickup the car through Los Angles traffic. Once I got to the Tesla dealer, the pickup went very smooth and quick. I was not happy with car on my way back home and wanted to return the car within the seven day return period but I would had too many miles once the car had been return. After the car first wash, I have found two dents on the top rear trunk and Tesla did not want to fix. After 2 weeks, through the Tesla app, I made an appointment for service in Rocklin, CA (which was 200 miles away). I updated for additional service and the app change to a later appointment date. I updated again for more service and the app change the date again. The car has a very serious unwanted sudden acceleration problem which Tesla service said it is operating as intended. Currently my main issue is very poor service. You have to use the app to make an appointment. You can call to schedule an appointment. They text you for any updates. This is the worst of any new car service.
