Still Revolutionary

Electric cars are here to stay. Amazing range, acceleration and handling. If you can afford the hefty price tag, these cars have little to no maintenance so the actual cost during ownership is small in comparison to non-electric cars. The autopilot feature is a game changer for folks who drive daily in traffic. Your right foot will be bored and your blood pressure will drop. It takes the stress out of driving while being stuck for hours in traffic. That alone is worth the hefty entry price for these cars! Beware of any body shop work that may be required because it takes forever to get basic parts from Tesla and when it's in stock they ship using slow ground transport from a warehouse far far away. Tesla customer service is terrible! The product is exceptional but they do not care about how they treat loyal customers when they are repeat buyers. For Texas residents, they have the audacity to charge you for the right to fully pay for your car before shipping it which takes 10 days to arrive. So in conclusion, closing costs are higher and you get to wait 10 days for delivery. Win/win for Tesla but not for their customers!

Best Car I have Ever Owned!

I used to drive a Porsche 911S Targa and a Lexus RX400h, both great cars, but nothing could prepare me for the Tesla Model S 70d. The car is amazing. Its performance is better than my Porsche, with tons of storage, great looks (although that does not mean anything), and spacious interior (I am six foot six inches tall). Incredibly economical, I have owned the car for 7 months now, I purchased it used, and I have spent a total of 400 dollars in that time! The range is great, and with the supercharger network, I never an issue with range anxiety, in fact, I had more range anxiety with my ICE cars! Yes, I lose range in the cold (I live in Canada) but it has never affected my driving. I cannot say enough great things about this car. The cup holders are in an awkward position, but I don't drink in my car anyway. The sound system is the best I have ever heard, and I am a professional musician. The centre control screen is wonderful and easy to use unless you are a Luddite. The seats are comfortable and supportive. The handling of the car, due to the low centre of gravity is remarkable. Every person I take out in the car and amazed by it, and they should be! I will never go back to ICE and with the other EV (if you can call them that) options, I will never purchase anything but a Tesla.

My Tesla nightmare

I’m a new Tesla 3 owner and will get rid of it as quickly as possible! Great driving experience but had a flat on freeway driving over nothing! Cost 250.00 just to get car off fwy, has no spare! Roadside assistance is too sparse and may not be able to get to you for days! Good idea but not a practice car for those of us with daily drives!!
