This grandmother loves her Model 3!

After owning a Leaf for 8 years, I was ready to move up to an electric car that I could drive for long trips. My Model 3 is fun to drive, even for a grandmother who is mostly interested in its practicality. My 17 month old grandson loves the sunroof over his car seat. He happily watches the view and doesn’t complain, even when we are stuck in traffic. His car seat and both of his parents can be buckled in the back seat when we all need to fit in one car. I hope to never go back to gas stations or oil changes!

Service SUCKS

Car ride is stiff, interior makes a lot of noise. Blinkers on these are wonky and like to shut off prematurely. Cruise control is one of the worst ones ive ever used, self braking constantly. Biggest hang up is service. 1 hour job, tell me to expect to leave it 7 hours come fully charged and they can't let you charge it at the actual tesla center. Well when service is 2 hours away it turns into 11 hours to fix a simple trunk gap. They also take forever to send you registration/title. My temporary tag expired, called the dmv and Tesla hadn't submitted anything to the dmv 45 days in. Car was fully paid off. I traded it in and both me and another car dealer are waiting for tesla to do the registration/title still. They're not ready for the amount of owners they took on.

Value for Performance and Efficiency

2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance 4dr Sedan AWD (electric DD)

This car is pure joy and fun. Hard to match the value and performance of the vehicle with ICE cars. It will just go, and go lightning fast as simple as possible. No need to worry about burning though ga$$ as you step on it. Just plug it in and you get to do it again and again for a fraction of the cost of a performance gas car. Your range will suffer a bit when driving like this, but you have the option to maintain efficiency in chill driving mode. Works well as a commuter car, with a more efficient performance aspect when you want it. Step on the gas pedal and that instant torque is unlike anything i have ever felt. Handling and ride is pretty comparative to some german sports cars in my opinion, even though it may feel a bit on the hefty side because of the battery. But the battery weight placed well in the vehicle allows it to be more nimble than you think. No transmission upshifts or spooling is something you will enjoy if you don't mind the charging.

Car is full of rattle

My car is full of rattles and squeaks. I have been to service center 6 times now and they still are not able to get rid of it. The car does not have a Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert which should be standard for such a luxury tier pricing car. It does not have Apple Carplay or Android Auto either. FSD does not work very well and it is overpriced.

can't see the screen

Although I LOVED the ride, look and premise of the vehicle, I was unable to see the font on the screen. I rarely knew how fast I was going. I personally, at age 62 need better positioning for a true dashboard that I can see without distraction I also missed Carplay. I traded it in and took a loss after only 6 weeks of ownership. I also prefer an operating sun roof For me, the cons outweighed the pros I will not say it wasn't a beautiful and great riding car. I was also disappointed in the frequency of needing charging which stressed me out. It seems as though ant auxiliary equipment such as AC, 360 camera etc are a drain on the battery. I wanted to keep this vehicle, but too stressful for me at this point
