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.
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.

$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. Mechanically exceptional Design exceptional Ergonomics exceptional Comfort exceptional Performance unmatched Style exceptional

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.

The car only gets better as you own with regular updates.
