[non-permissible content removed]. I have not had a single leak and the acceleration is something that has to be felt to believe. It’s like being in videogame physics. Amazing. The road noise is likely more than other luxury cars but I hardly notice because there is zero engine noise, so it makes up for it. I actually prefer to be able to hear the road bc it is so quiet otherwise. Best purchase I’ve ever made, hands down. *update oct 2022* I think I have become even more enamored with my M3P, if that’s even possible. I am convinced that the Model 3 will go down in history as one of the greatest feats of human engineering ever devised. A true legend.

Absolutely horrible fit and finish. Like a kia

The fit and finish and overall quality of my model 3 is absolutely horrible. I am appalled that a manufacturer would get away delivering such low quality. Water seeps in through the window seems, the back seat pops up every time I hit a bump, there is rattling in nearly every nook and cranny. Awful. Do not buy into the hype. They’re selling you a low quality vehicle for a high price. The worst part? They’re warranty doesn’t cover simple fit and finish issues like misalignment of interior lining, water seeping through windows and more. I don’t have enough horrible things to say about Tesla.

I like the tech. However the rattles and road noise are quite annoying for a $50K luxury car. rattles were worse after taking these issues to Tesla service.

Unlike any other car this 57 year old has driven/owned. This car is the future, every other ICE is archaic in comparison. At this point whenever I see a Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, etc. I feel like I’m looking at a relic from the past. This vehicle puts them all to shame. The driving experience is outstanding from ride, to handling, to just flat out power…this car has it all. Yes, there are costs involved in setting up the charging piece especially if you are a condo dweller but it’s worth the overall experience. I think about my last car, a ‘14 Lexus GS350, and while I remember how much I loved it, I now know it is vastly inferior to this awesome piece of engineering from the future.

fast but cheaply made

The rims on tesla are the worst rims ever. The seats feel and look plastic. If you look at them wrong they scuff. There is not one tesla you will see on the road without beat up rims. It's an eyesore. It's a joke. The car is tinny. It feels cheap. They are rattles and pings that they say is normal. It rides great, and is fast as lightning. I have a model 3 AWD long range which is another joke. They tell you to charge up to 85% which is around 285 miles, so they say. Not true. Not even close to being accurate. Figure at least a 10% decrease depending on driving habits. AllState insurance is $50 more a month to insure a tesla than my Mercedes e-class. That equates to 14 gallons of gas at $3.50 a gallon. Thats 350 miles at 25 miles per gallon. Yes It is environmentally friendly but not cheaper. There are so many more options now than when I got the car in March of 2022. See whats out there before getting in this piece of tin. If you wear reading glasses you will need them to see the dash screen as opposed to having dials on your dash. Very annoying as well. How can you drive with readers and try to change anything on the screen. Would I get another Tesla when the lease is up, maybe? Oh and you cannot buy the car when the lease is up. WTF? That is not a surprise, you know that going in.
