For those residing in Charlotte, NC, the Tesla Model S offers a compelling blend of performance and practicality that's… perfect for both city driving and weekend jaunts. With its impressive electric range, drivers can easily navigate the bustling urban environment and venture out to explore nearby attractions such as the U.S. National Whitewater Center or the scenic trails of Crowders Mountain State Park without constantly worrying about charging. The vehicle's quick acceleration is particularly beneficial for merging onto highways or navigating through busy traffic, making everyday commutes more enjoyable.
The Model S’s liftback design further enhances its utility, providing generous cargo space for everything from groceries to outdoor gear, making it ideal for families or active individuals. Access to Tesla's expansive Supercharger network ensures that recharging is convenient, allowing for effortless long-distance travel.

LOVE IT-But know what you're getting yourself into
Kevin, 05/19/2021
2020 Tesla Model S
I have an Oct 2020 build Model S Long Range Plus (non-performance). I've had it for about 9 months and have put 10k miles on. I've done mostly weekly commutes to work about an hour away and back on a single charge and a couple multi-state roadtrips that required Supercharging.
Most of the negative reviews you will read are from people who didn't quite know what they're getting into or do … enough research. This review won't be helpful to those who have owned other EVs, there are other Tesla forums for debating build quality and everything else in the Elonverse. This review is for those who, like me, have never owned an electric car before.
This is a complete re-think in how you drive. If you treat public charging like you would buy gas you'll be in for disappointment. The idea is to charge at home most of the time, and use the Supercharging network for road trips. Supercharging is still slower than filling a gas tank although it's getting better. Be prepared for lines in big cities like LA. The Supercharger network is well-laid out and covers most places you'll need to go, but certain areas lack coverage. Non-Tesla public charging is hit and mess although there are apps that can help. Bottom line, you must plan ahead for road trips. Home charging (depending on your setup and how low your car's battery is) will generally take between 8 and 14 hours to charge the car to 90%. Usually you will charge overnight. The car has intelligence to charge during off-peak hours if your utility has that, and can do a "scheduled departure" to have the car ready to go for you in the morning if you have a usual commute time.
Next, just because your car has a range of 404 miles (which mine does) you will generally only charge to 80-90% capacity for everyday use. Charging to 100% all the time will significantly degrade the battery and is not recommended.
Regenerative braking takes a little bit to get used to but you'll learn to love it. When the car slows it recaptures energy. Also saves on brake maintenance.
Autopilot is a name, not a function. It's still BETA - not production! It's glitchy and doesn't always make good choices. If you buy this car thinking the future is here and you can take a nap while the car drives, you're going to be disappointed and will probably wind up on the news following your fiery death. You must pay attention while driving and you will have to intervene at least once almost every time Autopilot is engaged. For me it's fun to watch the technology progress and be a part of the improvement in the technology. Everytime the car makes a decision I think is stupid (really, we're going to slow from 75 to 55 on the interstate behind this semi before deciding to change lanes to pass when there's nobody behind me for 3 miles!?) I know that the AI is learning from it.
The car does not have an engine. While that seems obvious, that means no heat is generated from burning fuel and there is no belt turning an A/C compressor. The car must use electricity for heat and cooling which will impact your range. If you prefer to drive in subzero temperatures with the heat blasting at 82 degrees or drive through the desert with the A/C on 62, your range will significantly drop! Goes back to the whole planning ahead thing.
The performance is fantastic. The instant torque of the electric motors is amazing compared to every gas car I've ever driven. Left my buddy's 'Vette in the dust. The zero to sixty time gave my mother a whole new reason to fear for her life when riding with me :)
The car improves every 2-3 weeks by downloading new updates from Telsa using its built in LTE connection and new features and improvements are regular. The car has profiles which you can save for each driver that records seat, wheel, and mirror positions. I love that the navigation is built on Google Maps and not some obscure crap system.
So now at long last the things I wish were better - no multipoint navigation. I can't tell the car to take me to a destination and back home. The car does a good job of calculating charging stops on road trips, but you must account for the turnaround, you can't tell it take me to XYZ and back and have it plan accordingly (again, use third party apps for that). The car has built-in streaming but only a couple services. No Apple or Amazon Music. Sometimes the software glitches and the display needs rebooted. Usually at the most inopportune times. No basic cruise control. The cruise control is adaptive and adaptive only. So if the front cameras or sensors are blocked, then no cruise at all. It'd be nice to have an option for basic dumb cruise. The cameras often get blinded or blocked during nighttime driving or bad weather which disables Autopilot. The biggest one is depending on where you live you may be several hours away from the closest service center. Mobile service is great for things that can be fixed that way.
Bottom line: I love this car and have no plans to replace it anytime soon.
