2025 Tesla Model S Consumer Reviews

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 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!

Best car I have ever owned
Got car in Dec 2021. Build quality was great. some squeeking from back seats fixed with gaffers tape. Driver car handle broke and was fixed with a few visits to Tesla. Had car xpel wrapped in front and ceramic coated. One nit pick.. rims scrape easily if you brush a curb since the rim and tire are at the same depth (Pirelli tires) $150 dollars to repair each time. . Full self driving is fantastic.. the car takes me anywhere with very little oversite. I have solar panels and a charger at home, free costs to charge the car thanks to the solar panel. I added an ecohitch and can take my bike (or e-bikes) with a Thule bike rack. Car looks fantastic. Full AI driving is coming which will make the already good driving system better human like driving.
A great machine,still at the head of the pack!
Upgraded my 5 year old Model 3 to a Model S earlier this month. Shopped around and drove the competition, i5 MX60, i4, Lucid and Audi E-tron. Decided to go with Tesla S after all the research because of the quality of the ride, the improved interior (no yoke!!) and the charging network for longer trips. After one month, my wife and I are very pleased. No problems with fit and finish. Car handles beautifully and is fast (!!!). Much quieter and much less bumpy ride than the Model 3. It feels much more stable and solid compared to the 3. While it does not have the refinement of the i5, its plenty good enough and at $74,000, a relative bargain, and a good $20,000 less than a loaded i5 MX60, with at least 100 miles of extra range on a full charge and a very comparable ride quality. We ordered the cream interior which is beautiful and a welcome addition to the all black or the black and white domino interior. The range is not quite as advertised as it is winter in New England but on my home charger, I get up to 80%/320 miles on an overnight charge. Haven't gone to a supercharger yet. The enhanced touch screen is beautiful and the sound system special. Would still love Apple Car Play but they have added Apple Music and Podcasts which is excellent and easy to access. I avoided the Enhanced AutoPilot which I did not use much on my Model 3 and which was not worth the $$. Tesla can still be a bit weird with the delivery process and ordering but all in all, I think the Model S still is the leader of the pack despite what many say......more to follow with more mileage.
