Until I drove this car I didn't know what it was like to "be transported" by a vehicle that serves my every need and desire. It's beyond amazing, that even with all these features, this car is about the least expensive to own that you can buy. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive. I keep looking for good reasons to take longer and longer trips. My vehicle is the SR+, not the most expensive version, yet it meets every desire. It has an outstanding sound system, the seats are the best I've ever sat in, the material is better than leather, the interior is constant luxury, I am very used to having just the one screen in the car. Driving the car is amazing. Acceleration is always there, waiting for you. Handling is excellent. In about a month of ownership I've kept good tabs on the expense and I'm very satisfied with the cost of home charging and the amount of charging required. I've taken several road trips and I'm confident I could (and will) drive across the country without any range anxiety. With this vehicle, no matter where your destination, you'll have so much fun on the journey. Update 1-22 after 19 months of ownership the honeymoon with this car has only continued. I still make excuses to drive it and it hasn’t lost any of its glow. We are in the cold of winter and range is diminished but that’s expected. It’s still as practical as any car I’ve owned and I’ve owned many. I love this car and I’m still finding new features. Update 1-23. I still have had no issues with this car and still love it. I've had no maintenance except tire rotation.

The greatest vehicle I've ever owned. And it's not just because it's electric, or just because it has a Bang&Olufssen sound system that can shake the street or just wrap you in deep quality sound, or the surprising amount of storage everywhere or the head-snapping solid and smooth acceleration the instant you ask; it's about the driving. Tight cornering, smooth at high speed, responsive not sloppy steering, quick braking - and autosteer that takes most of the stress out of the daily commute. And that acceleration. Sure, quibble about a small panel alignment, maybe the dashboard could have used a dial or two, and the touchscreen takes (a little) getting used to. The driver-assisted cruise control is top of class, with lane-keeping, collision detection and autofollow in addition to autosteer. Software updates happen about monthly; service is at your location if needed, and I haven't needed anything except tire rotations. It's laughable that Nissan tries to sell the Leaf - literally a Versa with 10 year old battery tech in it - with max 3/4 the range as a competitor, for very nearly the same price. I've had a few practical and even fun cars; the M3 is the best, and at this price it's a great car.

Winter handling is exceptional. Acceleration changes the way you drive- it's safer than ICE. Voice commands are fantastic. Very very happy with this car

I’m leasing this car as I know the battery and electric motor tech will significantly improve in a couple years. Now the over the WiFi software updates are awesome. The driving experience is something you only know by really driving this car. I have the Long Range All Wheel Drive and I see what all the bloggers are raving about. I’ve not had any problems with the fit and finish or drive ability. I’m glad I got the long range version as this includes the premium interior. My only disappointment is Tesla hasn’t made available the US version of the CCS 1 adapter which would likely double choices for on the road fast charging options. Look up your local Tesla motor club, find someone to give you a ride, go for a test drive, just do it!!!!

As far as all the normal car stuff, I think I will always have a similar car to the model 3 now. We only use it for short trips, less than 70 miles each way. Only charge at home, level 1 charger. We have solar panels and Tesla batteries, so car is 100% solar powered. Do not like that the car has cameras all over it, but we don't have the overhead parking view like almost every other high end car now has. Do not like that you cannot have the homelink-stlye garage door opener as a dealer installed option on this model. Do not like that the charging and battery remaining is based on "miles." Is this an airline rewards program thing? The "miles" displayed by the car do not match with the miles driven. It seems purposefully misleading, because Tesla even says that those miles are based on some kind of test average. If it's going to display miles, why not display an estimate based on historical data of the car? Or just use %? At superchargers, it seems like this would make it so you never know how much you are actually paying for the electricity since "miles" is an arbitrary variable made up by Tesla. Since I never use the superchargers this part doesn't affect me personally, but seems dishonest in general. Do not like that my free supercharger miles suddenly expired a month ago. Why would they expire? I don't remember being told that I would have to use them or lose them. Love that I never have to stop at a gas station again - other than to use the car wash. Love that it's practically silent. Didn't think I would like that after driving some pretty serious performance cars in the past. Now whenever I jump in my gas car, I feel like I'm driving a tractor or something. Someone else mentioned a lot of road noise, but I think that's because it's not being drowned out by the sound of the explosions from a fossil fuel engine. Fit and finish seem fine to me. Nobody ever has a specific issue they mention when they criticize the "fit and finish." Clearly they haven't driven a Cadillac recently, because my model 3 blows away my old CTS-V for interior fit and finish.
