I have the P85D AWD. The powertrain alone is worth the cost of entry. Faster than Ferrari performance, AWD, and every stomp of the accelerator doesn't burn a gallon of gas. Flex your foot and your face and body are thrown back with nearly no accompanying noise. The silence makes the acceleration somehow more rocket like, as if some unseen force is hurtling you toward the horizon. This car is the future of powertrains.

30 Oct 2019 update. Tesla corrected the app problem. Nav is still background app, but you can now move camera view to upper half of screen. Car is still performing as advised, great. However, Supercharger is busy because of Model 3 sales. 30 Oct 2018 update. Just got Version 9 update. Computer works quicker, but do NOT like the fact that you can no longer flip apps because the navigation app is the default screen and is always displayed in the background and only one other app can be displayed on bottom half of screen. There still is no true emergency stop capability (will slow before impact, but will not prevent imact from happening) ... I know there could be and there should be. Traded in a '09 CTS-V. Very similar in handling and performance ... S probably a bit faster and stable at high speed. Plus, with much better mpg and silently sucks the headlights off the competition. Love the body style and British Racing Green W/Grey Nappa leather interior color too. We now have a Supercharger in Louisville, Ky need one in Prospect where I-265 intersects with Route 42 (Brownsboro Rd.) . The title of my review needs to be changed to FREE Green Lightning. Autopilot, parking, and summon updates work as good, or better, (once you learn how to use them) as advertised.

Simpler than new models, they don’t last long

The S prior to October, 2014 was solidly built before the cheapened the body, suspension and other areas. It also lacks the Auto Pilot junk which never worked but especially in v1.0. These were better built and had few problems except for the designed to fail center screen. When that goes, the car is bricked. There is less to go wrong on this car but when it does, it’s expensive. The AC is insanely complicated as is the air suspension. When anything goes wrong, you are instantly into four figures. I mean anything. Service is abominable at Tesla and there is almost zero aftermarket support. You will wait a month just to get it in and then wait several months because they never have any parts. You also can’t talk to anyone. They don’t answer the phone or responds in any way. If you want to scratch that EV itch and can get one of these cheap, it’s worth a gamble but just be aware even a fender bender can send a Tesla straight to the junkyard because of the insane cost of repairs.

These cars drive like they're still new. The battery degradation is minuscule.

The Best car I've ever owned

I've owned the 2014 Tesla P85D longer than I've ever owned another car. I bought it new and have never had any significant problem with it. Tesla's mobile service fixed all minor issues and kept it out of the shop. Its ability to be updated over the air has kept it current with new features. Difficult to find fault with the car. Performance is wildly better than other cars I've owned, including some high-end sports cars. Moreover, it's a large sports car that can function as a sedan—the best of both worlds.
