Our Model S has needed service once a month for as many months as we’ve owned it. Would be more often but it takes forever to get it in for service. Tesla is fooling the world! Amazing how many you see on the road. Garbage car that looks good. You couldn’t pay me to ride in self driving mode!

I got the Model s REFRESHED Long range jun 29 th 2021 it looking insane and the car looks really sharp. Pros 1. looks great 2. handles amazing 3. smooth smooth ride like skating on glass 4. Technology is crazy awesome 5. acceleration is stupid fast even on the refresh Long Range 6. screen in back kids watch reflex or other streaming platforms 7. center console I perfect and super well designed im 5'6" 8. back seats ton of room have put some 6'3" in the back and person fit great 9. screen is huge well designed of apps and maps. 10. much more luxurious than previous model s, old model S is Childs play on the interior compared to the refresh. 11. feels like the car is gliding at 140mph don't recommend driving like that at all 12. maps learns time of day and what your typical route like work in the morning and when you start it up after work it like guess to help you with navigation home. 13. the A/C ducts are seamless 14. cooled seats in TEXAS are amazing 15. the touch screen super responsive 16. seats way nicer than the old model s and way way better than model 3 seats. 17. cock pit of the car is super quit it does have noise cancelling speakers built in the driver and front passenger seats. not currently activated it will be coming in a Tesla update one day (car is still super super quit) 18. seats super comfortable CONS 1. says it gets 375 mph for full charge because I have the upgraded rims from Tesla truth is the car gets 330-345 miles per so kinda of a lie ( charges 0-75% super fast but goes super slow after 75% charged so last 25% is the time killer 2. the car takes longer to charge at super charger than they kind make it out unless you got to a 250kwh super charge than its stupid stupid fast. 3. paint behind back wheels got dinged up from rocks and stuff at only 1500 miles, I live in the city and drive highway and city streets not a gravel road or anything of that nature. 4. summons with full self driving kind of a gimmick not that great. (kinda scary a 90K+ driving it self bad stuff could happen. 5. full self driving not auto pilot only really works on highways city streets nope. still super helpful totally not worth the 10k I spend for It 6. auto guess direction is kinda okay not the best kind of a gimmick 7. surprising no side mirror car alert when getting over, shows on the screen but could be better 8. A/C has to be at like speed 6 to really cool off car fast in hot weather. 9. charging usb-c port and power mat charge iPhone slow 10. so streaming music from iPhone to car great but when the song changes the highlighted song doesn't go down so you can see what song is next it like doesn't move with the songs as they have been listened to. 11. sound system is stellar 12. steering wheel buttons are hard to push and I have small hands . pretty much awesome car great value and I would have bought this car again after owning It

I have a 2021 Plaid with 13,000 miles on it. It had zero defects when delivered and, to my eyes, no noticeable panels gaps. A micrometer would probably find some but to the naked eye there were none. This is our fourth Tesla. When the service tech came to change the ac filters on my wife’s 3 (1st service after 4 years and 30,000 miles. Cost: $75) I mentioned the surprising build quality on my S. He said he’s seen few problems with them and he sees a lot of Teslas. On the issue of charging vs gas station fill up, folks should ask how often they drive more than 2-300 miles a day because that’s the only time you need to use a supercharger, at least if you have home charging. They should then think about all the fill ups they won’t need. For most folks it’s once a week. That’s 52 times a year you won’t be stopping for gas vs a few times a year you will need a longer stop to charge an EV.
Be prepared for a completely different car !!!

The Tesla Plaid at first is an amazing car filled with technology until you have owned it for a few months. You quickly realize that the "cool" features such as summon where the car will come to pick you up in a parking lot is not all that accurate and simply is lacking the ability to truly perform as needed. The speed is incredible, the lack of apple car play or andriod is annoying. The steering wheel is a complete piece of crap. I have had this car for over 1 year now and I still want to hit the center (airbag) to have the horn sound but nope not a thing.. you need to find the little horn button on the steering wheel and hit that and for sure during any emergency you are thinking let me find the smallest push button on the car so the horn works. The service center for Tesla is a complete -0- , you can't speak to anyone and when you do call you are directed to use the Tesla app to ask your questions. I had the safety restraint module replaced and it took 9 days and since this is a known problem and the appointment was made 2 weeks in advance the amount of time to service the car is completely unacceptable. Long story short is that I will NEVER support or purchase another Tesla vehicle in my life. The car does have some very nice features and again it is the fastest thing on the planet but all that does not make up for the lack of other features that most all other cars have and nor does it fix the crappy service from Tesla.

It looks good at first, but then you see how cheap the materials really are and how poorly assembled it is. And the mileage is total bs. You cannot come close unless driving downhill in moderate temperatures. Hard NO!
