Amazing - Everything else pales in comparison
$500.00 / yr = Total maintenance cost + tires Car chargers are free, or nearly free everywhere. No range anxiety. If you need to charge and there are no chargers nearby, pull into an RV park. Teslas have a charge adapter for the 50 amp plugs for RVs. Usually there is no fee to charge up.

Most amazing car I've ever owned
The Model S is not perfect, but it is as close as any car I've owned. With 95,000 miles on it, I can say I have not had one out of pocket repair. The battery is still at about 88% capacity so expect another 100k miles before I even think of trading it in. It still looks great, has no squeaks or rattles, and the over the air updates have made the car better than the day I purchased it.

Exhilarating drive of mediocrity
Let’s be clear, when it comes to performance, the Model S is rivaled by few. Beyond that, the only stand-out attributes are the interior design and autopilot driving options. Solid 4 stars, lacking on seamless tech and interoperability with iPhone.
Overpriced gadget
This car was so different from anything else I drove in the past that I had to have it. It accelerates effortlessly. It's quiet. It's comfortable. It feels like a spaceship inside. It has that wow factor. But after only a few weeks of driving it, a lot of the novelty has worn off and now I'm not sure it was worth the hefty price. Tesla has done an outstanding job of taking all of the gas savings you get from an electric car and all of the government tax incentives and including them in the MSRP. So you end up paying all of those savings upfront to Tesla. You also need to plan to pay for an EV charger in your home or somehow have one available. I also quickly learned that the 259 EPA rated range doesn't apply if you want to have fun driving the car. You are also only supposed to charge the car to 90% or lower unless you want to ruin the battery long term. How does it drive? The acceleration is really fun, but it's a very heavy large car that drives like one. The handling and steering are unimpressive compared to a BMW or Porsche that you can buy in this price range. Don't get me wrong. It's a great car. But you are paying a king's ransom for it and if I had to do it over again I would spend more time considering the alternatives rather than being awestruck by my initial Tesla test drive. Keep in mind also that Tesla can introduce a massive change to your car the day after you take delivery so resale value in a few years or even after a few weeks will be terrible.

American dream, but with out the fumes
Like the car, looks like a white car and my wife will not drive a white car. But we did buy a Tesla S, 2017, midnight gray, 90D, with low miles. We love it now I am looking for an X model. Sorry could not buy thro you.

Best Car I have ever owned
This car will be 6 years old in September. It still looks new inside and out. There are few Model S''s in our area and I get frequent compliments about how beautiful the car is. The car still rides great with no rattles. There are few cars made today that can compare spec to spec. Service might be a problem if the car needed service, The only money I spent has been on tires and I switched the 12v battery to lithium.
