AT 39000 miles everything from my original review hold true: Pros: Best car I've ever owned, driven or been a passenger in. Out performs any exotic car on the road for a fraction of the price and does it without making noise or burning fossil fuel. I have the first version Auto Pilot(AP1) and it's a technological marvel(yes you can text and drive safely...but of course don't;). Due to OTA(over the air) updates my Tesla is a better more advanced car then when I purchased it over a year ago. Cons: It will ruin every other car on the road for you. You'll no longer look at a Ferrari, Bentley, Maserati, Rolls Royce etc. the same way because the Tesla absolutely blows them all away. Note: Just got completed 5000 mi road trip using AP1 99% of the time...so awesome!

The Funnest Machine of My Long Life

I have never loved a car before I started driving my 85 Model S three years ago. (I grew up in a dealer's family and had to drive one clunker after another every six weeks). The no-pressure, 12-minute buying experience has to be experienced to be believed -- it's like buying a computer (with wheels). NOTHING HAS EVER GONE WRONG WITH MY TESLA! And the two annual test-check-ups in my home's garage were a dream. Ownership is so cheap that it's like buying a $200,000 car for half the price -- if you keep it for 5 to 7 years. Okay, that's the biggest problem with owning a Tesla. Sure, the car gets better every month with every overnight software release, but the damn hardware innovations entice most owners to buy a new one in a couple of years!

My second Tesla S, at 45,000 miles, still the best car I've ever owned. No repairs at all . . . excellent handling . . . superb service . . . Autopilot superior (I use it all the time). I test drove all of the other competitors, and all of them are more than inferior! Why would I pay close to $45,000 for a BMWie (with a range lower than the new LEAF), if I can own a Tesla 3 for the same price . . . or less soon? But the most important difference is the Tesla supercharger network . . . invaluable! I traveled from Portland to Seattle recently, and was visiting Chargepoint or Blink fast chargers close to my hotel. None worked, and some listed on Plugshare did not even exist! Can you imagine taking a Porsche or Audi on a longer trip relying on 220V chargers, or the few fast chargers around (that very often don't work)? I plan to drive to Boston early next year again, and I know I will get there without any problems! Keep up the good work, Elon! We all know the green-eyed monsters constantly attacking you, but we--the actual users of your product--know who is sponsoring them! Our information is based on nothing but first-hand experience . . . and not on Bill Maurer's idiotic opinions! I bought a new Tesla S90 a few month ago. It is even better than my 2013 Tesla S which was sold to a Washington State car dealer who is very happy with it! I especially like the 4-wheel drive of the Tesla S 90, the Autopilot capabilities including the self-driving capability which I use for most of my driving (simply superb!), the HEPA air filtration system, the adaptive lighting, and the extended driving range (300 miles). Still the best looking car around! No wonder more and more car companies are imitating the Tesla S looks, but even Mercedes, Audi, and BMW cannot come close to the styling of Tesla S and X! Tesla S continues to be the best car I have driven so far. It is absolutely reliable with not a single repair bill for over 100,000 miles of driving. I reserved a Tesla 3, and cannot wait for it to arrive. Earlier review (for my 2013 Tesla S): My 2013 Tesla S 85 reached 90,000 miles last week! So far, the total repair bill for it was $29,00 for a flat tire. Unbelievable, my Tesla S still has its first brakes, and I just just replaced its second set of tires! I drove it over 8,000 miles to the East Coast and back (free-of-charge, using super chargers) with not a single problem. My batteries (at 90,000 miles) are at 95%! In comparison, my Mercedes S-Class had cost me about $10,000 in repairs at the same mileage, not to speak of the very high maintenance cost! There is no other car on the market that is so good-looking, practical, and reliable as the Tesla S! I just traded in my Tesla S 85 for a 90 D. What a different (pleasant) experience dealing with Tesla staff in comparison to the high pressure gas-guzzler-dealer-vultures! I felt like a valued customer and not like a persecuted victim! Taking my first trips in a new 90 D, I was in awe with all the improvement and technical refinement! My son owns a high-end AUDI, and his new car has been in the repair shop repeatedly for a total of 3 weeks due to problems with the software. My neighbor had so many problems with the software of his new high-end BMW that his dealer finally gave him a brand new replacement car. They both will switch to Tesla S cars in the near future because of my excellent experience with Tesla cars. No wonder the European high-end car manufacturers are utmost disturbed, to say the least, and are trying to catch up! But look at their first EV products so far: Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen E-cars without fast charge ports, allowing just pitiful 85 miles of range. Expensive and pathetic! Keep up your excellent work, Elon Musk!

After 3 years borrowing my wife's P85 . Really wanted to get the lastest model a and and she wouldn't trade her's for the world. So i broke down and gave up my beloved F355 and my BMW convertibles for the model s . Granted the P85 was faster than the F355 and the model S on day one . Would the 60d match up . The car is amazing . It keeps all the great aspects of our super reliable P85 while adding the surprisingly helpful even in Florida all wheel drive . My first impression were the next generation leather seats that feel as good as the Ferrari and an improvement on the 2013 p85 . The 2nd is the new premium interior . Although the stock model s is nice the premium interior adds to already beautiful cabin . The 3rd has been the performance . The car with the All wheel drive has amazing acceleration and stunning efficiency . The number of miles per charge is much improved on an already very good number . With the super charger network here in Florida can't even imagine range ever being a problem . Love this car although I admit I miss my Ferrari a little .

Killer P90D, can't go back

Moved from a Ford Fusion Energi to the Tesla Model S P90D. What a thrill! The newness 2 years in hasn't worn off. It's to the point that as my family grows, I'm going to be moving up to the Model X next. The car is lightning fast, thrilling to drive, fun to share and just a great experience every day I get into it. Tesla service is incredible, they've taken care of so much without even charging for it as I've brought the car in a few times for other services. Only minor glitches over time that were fixed very quickly. I highly recommend this to anyone who can afford it and live without the noise of an engine, replacing fluids, breaks etc. Seriously the only real maintenance is windshield wipers, rotate tires, alignment (if you're clumsy) and possibly breaks.
