You can't talk to anyone at Tesla about service. They refer you to the app. I made two appointments for work to be done on my car and was stood up both times. Blew a tire on the freeway and it took them 2 days to pick up my car. They offer no service! Hope they go broke! Had my new 2022 for only 3 months and traded it in! Arrogant company that does not stand behind it's product.
Range, range, range.

The positives: I love driving the car. It's fast, responsive, and stable on the road. The front seat is comfortable for me; climate system, navigation (with some glitches) all pretty good. I love the glass roof and simplicity of design. However, there are significant problems. Most of all, the range of 353 miles in a charge is wildly inaccurate. We took a trip from San Francisco to Park City, Utah, and at times our mileage equivalent was more like 220 a charge. Tesla explained that this could be due to speed, road conditions, etc. However, that's too large a span to be honest. The charge indicator tells you the mileage you have left based on their estimate - and it is way, way above the mileage it's capable of. At one point on our trip the car indicated we could go 200 miles; however, we arrived at our destination a little over 100 miles with only 7% of a charge left. Nail biter as to whether we could get there. There are a few chargers in Park City, but they are slow - 13 hours to charge. We had to charge twice a day (an hour each) to get enough road trip miles in. That definitely cuts into your travel time - and the uncertainty in mileage estimate adds stress. The front passenger seat is awkward to enter and exit and the back seat is extremely cramped. My son had a very hard time getting in and out. The key system is sporadic. Usually I am able to unlock the car by having my phone on me - but quite often it refuses to open and I have to use the Tesla app. We have ordered 4 new key cards, as the first two didn't work - and 3 of the 4 don' work. It is extremely difficult to get anyone on the phone to answer questions - so we made an appointment for service. They were going to charge us $60 just to make an appointment! We just showed up at a showroom instead and found a nice person who answered our questions, but did nothing to alleviate the range question. I have started looking for a plug-in hybrid.

Very good, but not perfect

I've had my Model 3 Performance for about 18 months now. I am a "car guy" and have had Porsche's, Corvettes in the past. The straight line acceleration of the 3P is amazing and its a great gimmick to show off. Handling is just OK (the car is very heavy). Another big plus is the very limited maintenance required - far less than a traditional gas powered car. Downsides are the interior materials are not up to the same standard you'll find in BMW, Porsche, Audi, or MB. Also there are some quality niggles. On mine, the passenger window howls above 75MPH (Tesla service basically said there is nothing they can do about it). Would I buy again? Frankly for me probably not. Porsche has a totally different experience and much higher build quality than Tesla.

This is my second Tesla Model 3. They are very similar but new one has some interior upgrades. The car is very reliable and efficient. I've been in the FSD beta program for more than a year, and it's interesting seeing it improve first hand. It's not 100% there, but it beats regular non-assisted driving. Tesla has increasing competition, but no yet matches the features or range at its price point.

I wish I had bought the 3 when it first came out. The reason? Autopilot. I had a horrible commute in stop and go traffic. Autopilot is a dream. While I’m not a fan of the continuous reminders to keep my hand on the wheel, it changes your relationship with driving. I focus more on what’s on audible or my favorite podcasts. I have owned some great luxury cars - BMWs - but the Tesla is a dream in terms of reliability. Each BMW I owned was back in the shop after I purchased it. The Tesla just goes. While the interior appointments are not as nice, you get over that for the performance and rail like road handling. The few drawbacks of the car - no shade for the glass roof, no leaf catcher on the air intake port, and crappy floor mats - are all easily fixed with after market options. I’ve put serious miles on the car since I’ve owned it. 5k in three months and it has performed exactly like the first day I took delivery. The stock tires are meh for the long range. I will switch to a good winter tires and eventually stickier summer tires. Some things are weird like the lack of scanning for FM stations and no AM stations at all, but those details matter less. I have found supercharging to be a dream. Roll up. Plug in. Get a snack and use the bathroom. And leave. Yes, it’s that fast. The most I have paid for a full charge was a little over $20. Update: I now have 14k on the car and it has needed zero time in the shop. Also, Tesla service over the app is another game changer. I’ve rotated the tires twice since taking delivery. Tesla service comes to my place of work, does the service, and sends me the bill through the app. Zero time wasted in a dealership or other car service place waiting for my car.
