I feel like I got screwed by Tesla

I prepaid for the self-driving package years in advance, and finally, I got just a beta version, a few weeks later I was hit by a car, and the Tesla immediately caught fire. The car was totaled, so I decided to go down and buy a new Tesla. I was surprised to find out that now they want an additional $15,000 prepaid for self-driving software, even though I had bought it before and never got to use it. I complained over and over and got the BS that it was impossible to transfer to a new vehicle. Like an idiot, I bought a new Model S, Then I was in shock to find out just days later after delivery that Tesla is offering a transfer of self-driving software now if you buy Tesla this quarter.All the salesperson had to do is tell me to wait like five days. but they kept up the lie, no transferring But the greedy Elon/Tesla still won't transfer mine. No appreciation for returning clients. I will never buy a Tesla Again. FYI the 405-mile range is more like 250.Also, the cars catch fire very easily Advice, never ever pay the $15,000 for self-driving, if you get hit or the car burns, you're out the $15,000 for the software, even after only one day, and insurance companies do not cover the software So very disappointed in Tesla and Elon.

Horrible - Tesla bought it back

They don’t let you test drive the actual unit you’re buying. That should have been a red flag but I decided to trust Tesla given its reputation. On delivery day I drive off and immediately notice vibration in the steering column and cruise control doesn’t work. Five service visits and about 90 days later, Tesla ends up buying it back. Lots of other issues but in general… my experience was disappointing to say the least. In the end, they did what was right and for that I still respect Tesla, but will never buy another car from them.

Disappointed with Tire Wear & Roof Issues

The Model S has great performance, but the tires wear out too quickly—I have to change them almost every year. Also, my roof cracked unexpectedly, which was a big disappointment for such an expensive car. Maintenance is more than I bargained for.

This car is really hard to beat

One thing reviews seem to neglect a lot is efficiency. This is one of the most efficient EV cars on the road. So few cars can match its range AND efficiency. I have had Teslas since 2018. A model 3, a Model X and this Model S. I’ve visited the Service center once for cracked rear window on Model 3 and have not been back since. Tesla has taken a long time to get gremlins out of auto highbeam, auto wipers and FSD. They have been nailing it lately. Even adding an auto trunk opening when you stand in the back. You don’t even have to kick the car. And Rear cross path too (not as good as true radar based cross path but not bad) Doggy mode is one of my favorite features and won’t own another car without it. Yoke is great too. If I did order another Tesla I would choose the Yoke again. Took forever to get used to blinkers but I’m good now. And newer cars fixed the horn placement. I keep looking for alternatives because I don’t like being associated with the CEO any more. But honestly nothing can touch this car. The only car that beats it on range and efficiency is Lucid. But Lucid is dreadfully behind on the tech. Even the premium audio systems have quality issues. And Rivian efficiency is a joke.

This car is anything but a "one-trick-pony"...

The speed is what gets all the headlines, but just as important, the Plaid is an amazingly comfortable, quiet, practical cruiser/daily driver, with an astoundingly good audio system and some of the best in-cabin technology on the market. It's difficult to imagine what anyone could need in a daily driver that this car cannot deliver (except of course V-8 "vroom-vroom" sounds, but I don't miss that at all). The fact that it's roughly half the price of comparable performance sedans, EV or otherwise, is the icing on the cake!
