Very Cool but not Cushy - 27 Months Later

Original Review -Purchased a 75D that has far exceeded my expectations! The 75D is not the quickest of the Tesla bunch but I find it plenty fast for my needs. The acceleration is impressive, quick, and quiet. Compared to a similarly priced Mercedes or Lexus, however, the seats on a long trip do not provide the same level of comfort. Everything else about the car is just plain cool and technologically advanced. The view out the glass roof is amazing for rear passengers. On the pricey side, but it's no longer on my bucket list. Update - After 14 months of ownership I still find it impressive and fun to drive. The visibility out the rear-view mirror isn't great so I always drive with the rear camera on and viewed on the top half of the iPad-like display - love this feature. Original navigation system had flaws but a recent software upgrade improved it - now powered by Google Maps. Occasional free software upgrades continue to improve the vehicle. Nice to have free lifetime supercharging on long trips. When using nav system the computer calculates if there is enough charge to get to your destination. If not, it will direct you to supercharging locations along the way. Update - Another follow-up after 27 months - Still an amazing feeling to drive after 2+ years. Had a minor noise issue with the front window but the service center took care of it quickly. While there I requested a performance software upgrade (my model did 0-60 in 5.3 secs) and it was loaded free of charge (now 0-60 in 4.3) a huge difference. Once again not "ludicrous speed" but still plenty fast and more than I'll ever need. The battery range has degraded by approximately 2% since inception but quite acceptable to me. So, would I buy it again? Definitely!

Never seizes to amaze

I read a lot of rave reviews prior to purchase, and I come from a Porsche. Yet, this car still exceeds expectations and amazes me to no end. Power delivery is so instant and smooth that you almost feel like you're floating through air. After driving this car, any gas car now feels outdated. People say the car is expensive, but you get so much for your money, and you get stuff money can't buy elsewhere, such as the amazing auto pilot with lane change capability, parallel and perpendicular self parking, over the air software updates, free LTE web surfing and music streaming etc. Operational convenience and user experience is off the charts. I never use my key. Just go to the car; door handle opens automatically; sit down and drive. Some people say the fit and finish doesn't measure up to other high end marques. That's not so much the case after the 2016 refresh with Model X style seats. The fact is that the interior is extremely comfortable. After a long drive you are guaranteed to feel more pampered than in a Rolls Royce, because most of the coachwork stuff is just visual, and doesn't really provide additional comfort. I drove a Jaguar sedan for many years when that was considered the magic carpet ride. Compared to a Model S it's not even in the same league. Besides the attributes of the car itself, there are just so many benefits to ownership, like never having to go to the gas station, never having to take the car to get a smog check, never having to get an oil change, reduced need for brake service due to regen, car pool lane privilege, etc.. As far as I can see, this car has no competition, and I can't see how anyone would opt to spend similar money on a Mercedes, BMW or Lexus.

When you need repair parts for the car they are not readily available. In my case the MCU went bad after 30 months (2017 Model S) and Tesla has not even given me a date when a replacement will be available and it has already been almost 2 weeks. This is the computer that controls all the car functions. It's hard to believe that a major car manufacturer wouldn't have ready stocks of such an essential component of a $100,000 automobile that is not even 3 years old.

At an early age I had an unquenchable thirst from performance, reading virtually every single R&D from 1996 to 2017. I pursued power buying the best options available or testing it on the track. Having owned over 52 cars, and peddle time, behing the Ferrari, 458 F40, Acura NSX, and Porsche 993 GT3RS I thought I'd hit the pinnacle, but none compares to the Tesla... The Tesla to a car guy is a stealth bomber to the airforce, anything on the road expect a nuclear explosion. There's nothing like it! in standard form it seats 5, has class leading technology, and weighs 4500 lbs, yet will shred 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. It's so quite that when you speed people don't know how to react? There is no way to justify the speed as there's no noise, it's quite, like a mouse farting... no-one hears it. Speed isn't it's only game, utilization is off the charts! The car has two trunks, front and rear. The front alone is enough to store the groceries, the rear is large enough to put your living room in it. It's literally that big, and seems to have endless room. For me, and really the reason why I bought it was the enhanced autopilot, which allows me to dart down the road while answering emails and making follow up conversations, which gives me a leading edge over my competitors, and sets me apart from the heard. Bottom line I love it, and I hope it continues to impress.

Best. Car. Ever.

The Tesla Model S is the iPhone of cars - a revolutionary product. Like an iPhone, it’s expensive but worth every penny. Advanced technology, super quiet, and awesome acceleration and performance. As an electric car, there’s very little maintenance (no oil changes, for example). You don’t realize what a true game changer this is until you have one. Another review claimed charging is difficult and supercharger don’t work. I have had the opposite experience - charging is easy, and I appreciate not needing to stop at gas stations anymore. I’ve also driven numerous times between SF and LA and never found a single supercharger out of order in the three years I’ve had my S. In sum, it’s not just the best car I ever had, it’s one of the best products I’ve ever had.

Things I love: styling, performance, large info center, smooth acceleration, no gas stations, low maintenance costs, incredible sound system, frunk and sub-trunk, rear cargo space, HOV lane, federal tax credit, summons feature, replacement parts seem nicely priced, my first Service Center experience was excellent, my first body shop experience was very good, many people think you are "cool" and environmentally friendly (and you are). Things I wish were better: fit and finish of body parts (not up to premium car standard), auto pilot still not a wow...needs more development, blind spot monitor is below expectations for such an advance vehicle, difficulty getting in and out of front seat...if you are tall, the front seat goes behind the "B" pillar too far thus the entering and exiting is more difficult. Final Verdict. I love the car. I doubt I would ever buy an ICE car again.

The Model S is in many ways a great car...just don't expect all the functions to work all of the time. I've owned a Model S for 13 months. My salesperson told me that most Tesla buyers had never paid more than $40,000 on a vehicle. I was in that same boat. So, I expected a lot. Also, prior to the Model S, I owned Toyotas and Hondas, so I was used to reliability. But, two days after I took delivery, there was a computer glitch that prevented my car from moving and stranded me at work. Since then, I've had to call for service probably a dozen times. Most recently, my touchscreen will just blank out while I'm driving. Tesla reviewed my car logs several times, but was unable to fix this problem. The navigation system has frozen a few times, my streaming radio does not always work and my bluetooth audio just stopped working yesterday. Every few weeks, you'll get an update that purports to fix the recent problems, but in my experience, seems to cause a number of new problems. I have memorized how to reboot the touchscreen. Tesla replaced the touchscreen and it seems to work fine now. On the bright side, the car is stylish, the acceleration is very quick and the customer service reps are polite (even if they can't fix the problems). Tesla is like a new computer-company - they still have to work out the glitches. Also, my car has lost about 15 miles or range in 13 months and about 17,000 miles.

I custom ordered my car on Sept 1, from the factory and it was delivered on Sep 30, 2017. I have researched and saved up for the last 3 years to purchase this car. After owning it for the last 4 months, I enjoy every time I drive it, it's truly an AMAZING car! The power (0 to 60mph = 4.2 seconds for 75D), interactive functions, safety and the ride quality is unmatched for this starting price point (80k, with other options 90k) and ZERO emissions and Free Supercharging for life! That free supercharging alone can save you about $15k (100k miles @ $3.30/g super in CA), also no oil/filter changes. I also own a Jaguar, love to drive it UNTIL I purchased the Tesla, now I can't / don't want to drive it as it seems so outdated in all aspects. I would recommend anyone to test drive this car and see for yourself! Update as of Feb 14, 2020, over two years now and this car is still AMAZING!!! I had several over the air updates that has added many new functions and increased the value of my car. The car's performance and function are better now then is was two years ago. I also have a Jaguar, that I love driving and now every time I drive it, I feel like yikes, I have to "start" it, wait for it to warn up, driving it seems slow compared to the Tesla (0-60mph 4s) and wait for the car to go and the Autopilot is AWESOME on the Tesla, LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Test drive one and you will see the difference. Another update Feb 16, 2022. It's been 4 years & 3 months now and this computer on wheels of a car is better then ever with more over the air software updates with many added functions. I have sent about $45. dollars on maintenance ($40. cabin air filter and $5 for washer fluid) over the last 4 plus years and $0.00 dollars of fuel (electricity) as I get free supercharging for life!!!! The car still drives like new and never get old when you hit the petal and pass everyone, the smile on my face is priceless. I'm keeping this car "Until the wheels come off", LO. Still an amazing car!

The Tesla Model S is an ingenious work of art. I have heard Model 3 owners and Model X owners also rave about their vehicles, but have yet to drive either. Having driven or owned an Audi A7, Porsche Panamera, an M5 BMW, and Mercedes S500, I can tell you that none of these ICE vehicles hold a candle to the Model S in performance (acceleration and cornering on winding roads) and especially, reliability (although the Audi was pretty reliable). I have put 51,000 miles on my Model S (in 2 years) and would absolutely never consider going back to an ICE vehicle. I get well over the gas equivalent of 100 mpg and supercharging (for the Model S and X) on road trips, is FREE. I plug my vehicle in at night, and it's charged and ready to go the next morning. You do need to install a NEMA 14-50 (220 v) plug in your garage/driveway, but that can be done easily by an electrician. Mine charges at about 23 mph (so that gives me over 200 miles of charge in 10 hours). My cost is about $1 for 200+ miles of charge, but I have solar panels. Before the panels, and in the winter when it's overcast, I'd estimate that it costed/costs about $4 per 200 miles of charge. I would say that Tesla has changed the way people think about electric cars 40 years ahead of its time. Tesla has also given away it's technology (by removing patents) for the greater good of our planet. I think that anyone who has the means to spend $50k on a car and does so without test driving a Tesla (or at least an electric car), is making a huge mistake. It's easy for "us" (baby boomers, Gen Xers) to go out and buy ICE vehicles without any regard for our planet, as the global warming problem may not affect us directly with that large of an impact. BUT, it will affect our kids and certainly their kids, but that's their problem, right? YOU should MAKE it YOUR problem too. Just TRY IT, YOU'll LIKE IT. I would also like to add some comments about road trips in the Model S 100D. I've taken several 5-8 hour trips (mainly from Asheville,NC to DC and the panhandle of of Florida) without a charging issue. By the 4th hour of driving (I'm a 54yo male), especially if drinking coffee, I'm ready for a break. We plan our road trips to start by 8 (after breakfast), usually get on the road by 9 and stop for lunch between 1230 and 2 pm, depending on the location of the supercharger. Yes, we have to STOP for 30 minutes to charge, but in doing so, we allow ourselves time to sit and eat at a restaurant and relax a bit. My one recommendation to Tesla for their next 1000 superchargers is to put them near (within 1/4 mile walk) of a GOOD restaurant. There are usually a handful, or at least one decent place to eat near them, which is OK for a road trip, but it would be nice to have something a bit nicer. Having weighed in on all of these factors: IF you are spending $50k on ICE vehicles, I feel you owe it to yourself, your kids, and your kids kids to at least test drive an electric vehicle and my vote is to make one of those test drives, a Tesla.

The car is not cheap but with gas savings and the $7500 tax credit it gets much better. This car is a real testament to practical technology. During the year we have had the car we have received several updates that added thousands of dollars worth of "accessories" that would have to be purchased upfront with other vehicles. When new technology is available it is simply sent with an over the air update. My wife and I both love the car and thoroughly enjoy the totally different driving experience from an ICE (internal combustion engine) car. The one petal driving (because of regenerative breaking) and the true sports car handling are truly exceptional. The car (ours is a 90D) is blazing fast (zero to 60 in appx. 3.7 or 8 seconds). We like this car far better than any we have ever owned including Lexus, Infinity, Audi and Cadillac. Due for its first annual inspection in a few weeks and so far we have had zero problems (as well as emissions). Never having to stop for gas is a real pleasure - we just "fill up" at home with a few hours of charging and the next morning we have a "full tank". Someone once said, "If you can't afford a Tesla don't drive one, it will ruin your life. :) Highly recommended.

Originally, I was waiting for the model 3 to save money but didn’t want to wait any longer after my lease was up. Living outside of Detroit, I expected people to be upset that I didn’t get something from GM, Ford or Chrysler. This car is unbelievable and I tell people about it all the time. Last year, I had a 60D and someone hit me driving at 45 mph. The car is a tank, I walked out of my car without any injury. There was some damage to the car of course but wouldn’t get a different car. It amazes me every time I sit in it. There are constant updates to make things better. It’s performance is great. My husband will smile when he hops in to take it out instead of his truck.

Impossible to compare to other cars

I read some of these other reviews on Edmunds. Some people miss the point. Comparing my Tesla S100D to a Mercedes or BMW is like comparing a horse to a bicycle. It makes no sense to me. I have owned expensive cars from all those companies. Since driving off in my Tesla I hope I never have to listen to a turbo, dual clutch, 9 speed, piston driven ANYTHING ever again. Period. To me, that would be like going back to a '52 Edsel. Electric is better than any of that. There is no ICE that is as smooth. Spare me the "Interior wasn't quite up to the standards of $100k car" lines - my white (vegan) leather interior is gorgeous. I will take the Tesla over anything offered on any other car lot because it is the best electric car on the market. With solar panels on my roof I pass the gas station and laugh at the electric company. When I tromp on the skinny pedal I have no guilt because I didn't just burn a half gallon of gas for a little thrill. It's all good. With all-wheel drive I can drive slick roads without a single worry about grip, it holds on like glue. What about the life-span of the vehicle? Nobody wants a 4 year old BMW with 50k miles because there are a million parts that can wear out or break and they cost a fortune to replace. That's why the resale sucks. Tesla's resale is superior because there are a fraction of the parts to go wrong. They estimate the battery pack will still have 80% or more of its power over 300k miles. Simpler can be better, and in this case it is. As I stated, you can't compare an electric car to one with pistons and transmissions and a tailpipe. Electric is better and it has nothing to do with overly complex luxury cars trying to stack up to what an electric car does best: Go fast smoothly and effeciently. Porche can't match Tesla's low center of gravity, not at any price. Rolls Royce can't make a smoother engine. Toyota can't make a piston car as energy efficient. Cadillac can't make a car quieter. THAT is why I love my Tesla and I don't find it comparable to other $100k luxury sedans. I will consider them in the future when they offer me something without the archaic pistons.

I looked at everything. Went to Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW, Volvo,etc. They really live in the 20th century. While I gave them a chance, all dressed in suits and ties in their fancy showrooms, they really don't want to give you the time of day if you don't want to drop 50k or more on a fossil fuel burner. They put down the Tesla where ever you go, but after asking them, none of them have ever gotten of their butts to even test one.well I tested model S's over 3 years. Right now, I can't afford to buy this car, so it's the only reason why I'm not in it . It would be really nice if you could drive one for a weekend. The salesmen don't push you at all. There is such an excitement among the people, buyers, and customers in the showroom. We went for a long test ride, and it's just phenomenal. The car will actually back into a space too. It takes a while to get used to, but after 3 tests I realized how things worked, and even though I hate touch screens, they showed me how to turn it off during driving. I actually over the years wrote Elon Musk to change a few things, and 3 ideas I thought of actually happened. Imagine me writing GM in the 1970's to put a 2 liter engine with a turbo in their cars, and 40 years later Saab helped them, after they killed Saab. So, after the test is the let down. You have to get back in your car where the engine was invented over 100 years ago. It's sad. You feel like you are getting into a horse and buggy. So now GM will build 10 electric cars in China, but Tesla, the worlds greatest American car can't be sold in 5 states including Connecticut. But we are allowed to have nuclear subs made in CT. Back to the test. What the other car dealers try to scare you, they don't know the Tesla will guide your trip through the charging stations for free, and so what if you have to stop for 20 minutes. Wouldn't you stop in a gas car every 300 miles to take a pee? So forget about the new auto systems on the car. Get it without now, it's cheaper. You can add them on later when the bugs are worked out. But it's hard to consider another car after testing this car. Image a guy coming from South Africa , Elon Musk, and building the best car in our country. That's the American dream. Support this company. We are on top again with this product. If you can't afford it, look for the model 3 to come later this year. There are around 400,000 orders in for this for about 38,000 dollars.and to conclude, I worked for the oil industry for years, I saw the pollution, and while we do need oil for planes, and plastics, but not for cars much longer.

Everything I had hoped for my first fully electric car. Bought a s class for 52 K that had 9K miles and was just like a 90K car. totally the way to go. Sop fast you need to learn to control yourself. such a rush experiencing this cars off a stop acceleration, and its high speed acceleration. Really in a different league than any ICE car. Put charger in garage and at ranch, and really only need to charge once a week. Sure am glad that I will never go to a stinky gas station again and risk being mugged, and raped for premium gas that would be needed to run a car that had anything close to this performance. I now know one thing, the day of the internal combustion engine is quickly going to end. It is true this is great for the environment and that is a major plus, but it is really just so much better, period.

I purchased the 2017 Tesla Model S 100D in Nov 2017. I got a "deal" and paid only $94k, saving about 7k because it was a demo with 3400 miles on it. The rated miles per charge was 330 when I bought it and I could go somewhere in the 315 range, if I didn't drive it hard. I have driven it hard for the past 3 years, putting over 70,000 miles on it. The same car, now with a rating of 402 miles, is now UNDER $70k! Incredible! Anyone who is going to spend $70k or more on a BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, or other performance sedan needs to look at Tesla. the only maintenance I have done is 3 sets of tires (like I said, I drive it hard), and 2 sets of windshield wiper blades. That is it. It's electric and a blast to drive. Mine is 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, which is plenty fast...but where it really excels is going from 40-70 (onramps)..instantaneous torque and power! If you are driving on winding roads frequently, like I do, I would consider the Model 3, just because it's more nimble on curves. You give up some long distance comfort, but it's also about 20k less (nicely equipped at $50k). I have driven the model 3 (Turo rental) for a week and loved how it handles...almost 911 Porshe-like in it's handling. Just a fantastic car company...and , oh yea, it's American! Never in the history of American Automobiles has there been such a reliable car, that is so much fun to drive. As they use to tell Mikey, "Try IT, YOU'LL LIke IT!"

My wife and I loved everything about this car except for the gross overestimation by Tesla regarding the range that it would achieve on a full charge. That range did not even come close to the estimation of 335 miles that Tesla advertised. We were barely able to make a round trip between New York City and Philadelphia which is a little over 200 miles. And if the remaining available power was in the area of 10% at the end of our trip, it would take 12 hours or more to fully recharge the battery with our home unit. After owning the car for four months, we were forced to sell it at a significant loss primarily because of my wife's fear that she would run out of power and become stranded. If you do not do a lot of high speed, open road driving such as on turnpikes and parkways, this would be a great car for you. It's performance is like nothing else I have ever experienced, including the Porsche 911 that I own. But if you drive distances, and especially if you like to put the pedal down which this car practically begs you to do, my advice is to STAY AWAY.

I never thought I would be buying a Tesla. My business partner bought a Model P 100d. It was the fastest car I have ever been in. I have 2 Porsches and they are both turbos. To say thwart, I was impressed. I went and test drove a Tesla and bought one the next week! I love not having to buy gas!

The car was great when it was new. Just in 6 months the problems started with the mechanical and electronics.they were addressed several times and the service did not take care of them. They rather reply you back telling “we have not seen it. “ Meaning you are lying. The issue still exists. I have a maintenance plan but the vehicle was never taken care correctly. I had the issue with the central console right from the first service and was never adresssed. Finally it shut down excately after my 4 the service and now they say I have to pay for it because I am out of warrenty. They make you pay for the service and maintenance plans but the service is not at all justified. I have spend $150K on the care so far. It’s great as long as it runs with no issue. But running with no issues is impossible. I might spend so much on the care to drive it for 8+ years and now driving it for 2 years had been literally miserable. My order for Model 3 is in progress and now I am cancelling them also. I feel bad that I have referee many of my friends and now they have the same bad experience. The cost and maintenance of my P90D is more that BMW 7 series and Mercedes S Class. This is spending more money rather that saving. This review is coming after I have talked to several owners. The car was behaving weird and I was scared to drive it after after a week of my recent service.i had it in drive mode and it just reversed and hit the garage. The console was shut down and Tesla says they see that I reversed and hit the garage. This car is not reliable and not safe at all when it malfunctions like this. And you have to spend money to get this fixed.

I’ve owned everything. This is the greatest car I’ve ever owned. Spent $0 on service in the 2.5 years I’ve owned it. No trips to gas station. Only 3 times needed a charger other than my house. So efficient, so smart. No way gas cars survive this.

An amazing car, never an issue still get 345 miles on a full charge... NO break changes, NO nothing.... no different than the 2014 model S 85D I had for 3 years except the miles difference
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. Mechanically exceptional Design exceptional Ergonomics exceptional Comfort exceptional Performance unmatched Style exceptional

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.

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.

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.

My Tesla has broken down more than any other model car that I have owned. I have had to wait 6 weeks for a simple repair and they didn't even repair it correctly. Now I have to wait 6 more weeks for them to do the repair again.

I own this car for 8 years. When I bought it I was told the full self driving function was a few months away. Very deceiving sells pitch! Full self driving was implemented 7 years later. Since the implementation of self driving function, i have nothing but problems. Every time I call the service number they never resolve my issues. I WIIL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TESLA EVER AGAIN!
