The car has so manu quality issues that it can be best compared to YUGO. The entire experience is one of a lottery. if you get a car that has minor issues you can enjoy acceleration until your battery turns out to overheat. Getting service on it is close to impossible. If you want go cart performance coupled to kit car quality. TESLA is the right car, if you want quality and reliability, never a tesla

We love our Tesla S. Came with enhanced autopilot. It’s all you need, forget the full self driving. Great road trip car.

Performance version with Ludicrous +. Need I say more? Smart with frequent online upgrades, giving you close to autonomous driving. Easy because Tesla has figured out how to educate its owners and drivers with the big board. No range anxiety with home charge and superchargers everywhere. Quick is something to experience. UPDATE: Quick is something to experience, but better experienced in luxurious Lucid surroundings. And no connection with Elon the Mush.

There is a lot of hype about Tesla. Had my expectations been lower, I may not have been as sorely disappointed. The body panels do not match or line up. They aren't flush, and the gaps vary. They appear to have been put on without any attention to detail. The wheels sit irregularly in the wheel wells, like a cheap rebody. The interior is gloomy, but the first thing that happens as you fall into the interior, is you hit your head. The door sill is very high, but the bar for the roof is very low. The interior panels also do not match each other, or the exterior. The cheaply-made interior is covered in suede and plastic. The gaps are uneven, and the panels appear to be warped. The seat is maybe sized for a child, but certainly not an adult. The sides of the seat dig into my back. The safety belt buckle is in a hole that is difficult to reach. It would be nice if the seat moved back another few inches. The sun burns my head through the glass roof. The Tesla drives like a boat, and parks like a bus. The backup camera is useless. The carputer rebooted numerous times, while I waited, and waited. Waiting is a Tesla theme. The carputer is very, very, very slow. The spinning circle is the only thing you get, for 10 or more minutes, whenever you press something on the screen. Speaking of which, although the screen is large, the icons are tiny, and counter-intuitive. The ride height adjustment is erratic. While the computer is rebooting, no backup ride height adjustment, so you have to wait for 2 reboots, to raise the height to pull into your driveway. The side mirrors are useless. When you back up, they adjust themselves, and do not adjust back. The map would not move as I drove, so I drove off the map. Everything you want to do must be done through endless menus. The mrnus are scrambled, so you have to press one after another, waiting and waiting for the carputer. Cruise control would not work. Braking is poor, compared to modern beaking, but on par with braking 20 years ago. The screen is too far away to resch. As large as the dcreen is, the tiny icons could be larger. The B-pillar blocks my peripheral vision. On exit, there is an elbow-gouger on the B-pillar. Ouch! It is nearly impossible yo extricate yourself from the car, unaided, because you have to put your legs up over the sill, then try to squeeze between the wheel and the seat. The Tesla died on the highway. No power, nothing. Apparently, this just happens. Tesla didn't seem worried about this hazard. It does have good acceleration, from 0-10 MPH. After 10 MPH, it's about on par with a 1969 TransAm. To sum it up, the Tesla is a cheaply-made, poorly-designed road hazard.

Tesla ever ties has multiple super charging stations half of which do not work when you get there so you are stuck at going to charge point in taking two days to charge your car I would stay away from Tesla’s promise of supercharging stations as they do not work the one in Topeka is especially bad

Most fun I’ve ever had in a car

The Tesla I purchased feels like it has been well worth it. I’ve driven a BMW and Mercedes in the past and this car blows those experiences out of the water in terms of comfort, acceleration, suspension, and handling. Also feel great driving it around in terms of safety. It hasn’t presented us with any problems and the Tesla service folks have been nice and helpful when I reached out with questions. I also had range anxiety since it’s my first electric car and it’s been a great experience.

The acceleration in this car is amazing! Corners better than my BMW 5 series. The interior is elegant with a touch of simplicity.

Best vehicle ever. Truly an engineering marvel. Will never, ever buy another ICE vehicle. (Next vehicle - Cybertruck.) More cargo space than any other sedan sold in U.S. Travel is a dream. Now it's not " when will we eve get there"; it's "we're there already". Most worry about charging, which is a breeze. Go into garage; plug in; 30 seconds. Tesla chargers eveywhere when traveling, plus I have free charging. So 'having to charge' is actually a HUGE 'plus'. If there is a drawback, it is 'getting repairs'.
