This is still the best car I have ever owned!

After purchasing the Model S I am in love with it! No issues in more than 119,000 miles! Still holds great range in its battery. No smells like a car with a gas or diesel engine. No drips on the garage floor. Interior is still as new! Miles per year is now lower than the first 5 years since we have added a Model 3 to our garage. Now totally electric! Best decision we ever made, going Tesla! Now with 30,000 miles on our Model 3 love it too! Especially the driver assistance features that our 7 year old Model S doesn't have. Between the two, I like the driving in both and the Model S is more like a new car than any other I have owned including Porsche, Audi, Volvo, Buick, and Corvette. All of them felt like they were getting old after 6 years or so, but not our Model S.

Having put 100,000 miles on our Model S we still are impressed with it. And no leaks or oily smells like you get with gasoline or diesel.

Best car I've ever owned.

I've driven the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG for four years. With 66,000 miles on it, I was informed the intake manifold was cracked. No explanation how it could have happened. I decided to spend my money on the Tesla S. It has been the most fun I've ever had in a car. It's quick, responsive, and I've already saved over $1,000 in gas. No emissions, I plug into my house charger and it charges an hour or two when I get home. My electric bill is up $15 bucks a month. I've had a few questions, and I've taken my car back into the service center once. The guys at Tesla are amazing, friendly, and efficient.

Base model: same rocket, smaller boosters

Beats every car in town except a Tesla P85. Sports car, family sedan, and small SUV all in one. Available coved rubber mats allow safe storage of liquids in trunk. mini-USB drive holding tons of classical music plays through the car's system exactly as it would on my desktop or laptop...same file system, everything. Pano roof gives feeling of being in a convertible.

Best Car I Have Owned

I very seldom write reviews, but after reading a couple of lousy reviews about the Tesla S, I feel compelled to do so. And by the way, I own a Tesla S. I didn't just borrow it for a week and my views are about the car, not about what I wish or about the stock market. I have had the fortune of being able to own some awesome cars over the last 20 years. Mercedes SL600, E55, S55, SL63, Nissan GTR, Porsche Turbo, Bentley Silver Spur, and the Tesla S. All great cars. Without a doubt, this is the most amazing car I have driven. It is a technology marvel, a power monster, and incredible fun to drive. It is reliable, inexpensive to run and soooo quiet. So great not to have to buy gas
