Doesn't get any better than this

This is the only car Consumer Reports ever gave a perfect score to, and it is apparent the very first time one drives a Tesla. The performance, the road handling, the styling, the details are hard to fathom for a first of its kind. No amount of written verbiage can take the place of a test drive. There is simply no other car on the road that even comes close. I've owned Porsche, BMW, Lexus, all of which I loved, but none hold a candle to Tesla

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.

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.

The Tesla Model S is amazing! The comfort, performance and economy are amazing. Good for the planet and climate too! The low cost of operation makes up for the high purchase price and then some! Still loving it after 119,000 miles. Now also have a Model 3 and love that as well! That is just as good! Got 35,000 miles on that already!
