The car's performance and feel are amazing. I love driving this car. Had it for 16 months and still look forward to getting into it. The ONLY criticism I have is the road noise is a little more than some luxury cars.

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

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.

Tesla cars always have a technical error which a normal person can’t understand. Tesla’s service call center is sucks. I am driving tesla for more than 1 year. Performance is better than regular car. But maintenance and service support is very bad. When ever i visit service center first they give appointment after 20 days then when you arrive there you have to wait more than 5 hours minimum or just left the car and ride by your own.

Sensors glitching, GPS shows wrong speed etc

Got my 2025 Model 3 in november 2024 and liked it a lot at the beginning until i started facing glitches here and there. Overall they did a good interior ugrade in comparison to the priveous year model 3, performance is great but sensors give me alarms when they shouldnt like driving at 10-15 miles an hour getting closer to the traffic light to make a right turn i was following the car driving at the same speed and it was over 25 ft away when my car started giving me an alarm of collision. WHY? same thing happened quite a few times and guess what, it reflects my safety score which automatically reflects my insurance premium that i pay. Someone cuts off in front of me - same thing - it reflects on my safety score and my insurance premium. Getting off the hwy and dropping the speed - it is considered by tesla as hard braking - also reflects on my safety and insurance premium. Besides that GPS doesnt show correct speed limit. Traveling on i90 in suburbs where the speed limit is 70 and the car shows 60. Tesla customer support is terrible - stay on the line for hours to wait for your call to be answered. No online live support - Nothing. with all these negative things i started looking how to get rid of this car but the only way is to pay my remaining 33 months left in me lease term. If i knew about all these negative sides of Model 3 i would probably never even take it. It might be because it is a renewed car and some things are not working right yet and they are improving them. But i got tired of it and unfortunately got stuck with it untill the end of the lease, which is another 33 months.
