This is my 4th EV, and 38th car overall. This is by FAR the best car I have owned to date. being a 2015 there are a few features (and Supercharging rate) the newer cars get this can't due to hardware limitations, but for what it has it blows away the 2017 Chevy Bolt we just replaced. Power, handling, technology, fit and finish, range, charging, space, cargo... it checks all the boxes and adds AWD to boot. Love love love this car. Update: 95k miles, 1 year of ownership… still love this car to pieces, still best car I’ve owned. And yes, I have bought and sold 5 more cars since this one, but she will remain in the stable for years to come. Only repairs from 80-95k was a memory chip replacement on the screen (covered by Tesla) and the 1st 12v (deep cycle) battery replacement at 92k miles. Total cost of repairs on a 95k mile “used car” out-of-pocket, $266. ;)

Touch screen failure a major disaster

I have now owned this 2015 (not 2013) Tesla Model S for 5 years and 65K miles. The major issues that required service included a door handle repair, a window that would not close, Steering U-Bolts required replacement, replaced weatherstripping deterioration on roof and currently the touch screen has failed rendering the car undriveable. This is a common problem after 65K miles. Parts are hard to come by. Car can not be charged and directional signal lights do not function. Cost of repair is north of $3,000.00. Avoid Tesla’s built before 2019.

Best Car I’ve Ever Owned

The car has been solid for me after 41000 miles. No issues whatsoever. Of course your mileage may vary. Love the instant torque. My 85D I have timed to 60 consistently in the 3.8-3.9 range with over 85% charge. My battery only lost 5 miles from the original 270 on a full charge. I can consistently match or beat the rated miles during the warmer months. Winter I get a little below since the battery pack has a hard time staying warm. I charge it at home on a nema 14-30 and can recoup my average daily commute under three hours at home. Only issue I have is with Tesla and not the car so much. Tesla nerfed the supercharging rate on the older cars so expect to spend about 30% longer at a supercharger then the newer cars. Wish it had the newer touchscreen which can play netflix and youtube but other than that wouldn’t give it up for anything other than a newer Model S. Very pleased.

After heaving put 52000 miles on the S in a year and a half I can say it is a far superior vehicle to anything the other manufacturers I've expirenced have put out. I've had BMW 3,5,7 z4, and X5 series as well as several Mercedes S and the tens of thousand$$$ in maintenance bills that go along with them and they don't begin to compare. I've cancelled my subscription to several car magazines because Tesla is the only manufacturer that interests me anymore for less then $100k...nothing beats a Ferrari in my mind but don't get me started on Italian maintence. Tesla service has been excellent with me and although there have been a few items that had to be repaired under warranty (glue on window and a loose screw on the armrest) its no where near the list that's gone wrong on several "new" cars. The Bimmers/Mercedes spent so much time in the shop eating money looking nice on the shop floor(because they didn't work) and that's no fun😢 So basically if you can afford one, get a Tesla. If you can't afford one, sell your kidney... I promise you won't be disappointed.

This is without question the best car I have ever owned and would buy another. Thinking also about buying th Tesla X when I get rid of my Mercedes suv. Still without a doubt the best car I have ever owned. Posted 5/18 /17
