Best car I ever drove!

By Dom33928 written on 03-24-2017

I had a lot of cars in my life: BMW, Audi, Lexus, Porsche, Alfa Romeo; nothing can compare to my Tesla Model S 60! Acceleration and handling are phenomenal! The design outside and inside is superb. I am in real estate and the large screen and navigation are so helpful, so is the web browsing. The seats have an excellent support and are very comfortable. The car is extremely quiet! I also own a BMW Convertible and when I drive it, it seems to be a car from another era... Tesla Service is excellent (I had just to call them to rotate the tires so far) and when you purchase (or lease) the car hey are not pushy. I chose the S60 and I am doing 211 miles on full charge, which is way enough. I Have travelled through Florida and there is no range anxiety with the superchargers. The quality of the materials inside is ok but not perfect and there are a very small rattles sometimes but as there is no engine noise, you are more eager to notice them. It is really the best car I ever had! I will never go back to gas engine cars!

I'll never go back to ICE after having a Tesla

By Peter written on 10-04-2016

I've had my Model S60 for three months now and its great. I have the smallest battery pack and its still plenty of range. The one time I went beyond its range I was able to quickly charge up with the free superchargers. You might knock it for the weight and size but the pickup is crazy for a car this size and the weight is all down low in the battery pack. The Autopilot is amazing for Bay Area freeway congestion. The only small knock is the lack of door storage. I have seen the Model X does much better here and I suspect in time they will add this to the S. I rented one on Turo for a long weekend and it really helped me decide to go for it.

BEST CAR EVER

By Picky Pete written on 02-18-2017

Super quiet; handles like a dream; extremely safe; beautiful; sweet electronics and features; roomy and capacious; almost no maintenance required; crazy fast; NO EMISSIONS! Nice never to have to stand at the gas station in the rain, in the snow, in a line, inhaling fumes. Just plug it in at home and go to sleep. Have had a lot of nice cars; this is the best BY FAR.

Poor customer service

By drjnieto written on 09-28-2017

I?ve had a tesla for almost a year. It had several problems that where fixed. Yesterday my rear tire was punctured with an object on the road. I called Tesla roadside and my car was transported to the service center. I called early to make sure I had my car back on the same day Unfortunately there where NO spare tire or inventory tires in stock. Then there where NO tesla loaners cars. For a 100k+ vehicle that doesn?t come with a spare tire the support is ridiculous and unacceptable. I?m left without a car for a problem that could be resolved in 5 minutes with a spare tire. I had a full day a Patients to see at different hospitals and had to cancel on them because I had no reliable transportation. I called management and I?m still waiting for a call back. I love the car, but I?m done with customer service. Last tesla I will buy.

Better than my Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 series, etc

By TeslaTan written on 12-24-2016

I bought a new Tesla S90 a few month ago. It is even better than my 2013 Tesla S which was sold to a Washington State car dealer who is very happy with it! I especially like the 4-wheel drive of the Tesla S 90, the Autopilot capabilities including the self-driving capability which I use for most of my driving (simply superb!), the HEPA air filtration system, the adaptive lighting, and the extended driving range (300 miles). Still the best looking car around! No wonder more and more car companies are imitating the Tesla S looks, but even Mercedes, Audi, and BMW cannot come close to the styling of Tesla S and X! Tesla S continues to be the best car I have driven so far. It is absolutely reliable with not a single repair bill for over 100,000 miles of driving. I reserved a Tesla 3, and cannot wait for it to arrive. Earlier review (for my 2013 Tesla S): My 2013 Tesla S 85 reached 90,000 miles last week! So far, the total repair bill for it was $29,00 for a flat tire. Unbelievable, my Tesla S still has its first brakes, and I just just replaced its second set of tires! I drove it over 8,000 miles to the East Coast and back (free-of-charge, using super chargers) with not a single problem. My batteries (at 90,000 miles) are at 95%! In comparison, my Mercedes S-Class had cost me about $10,000 in repairs at the same mileage, not to speak of the very high maintenance cost! There is no other car on the market that is so good-looking, practical, and reliable as the Tesla S! I just traded in my Tesla S 85 for a 90 D. What a different (pleasant) experience dealing with Tesla staff in comparison to the high pressure gas-guzzler-dealer-vultures! I felt like a valued customer and not like a persecuted victim! Taking my first trips in a new 90 D, I was in awe with all the improvement and technical refinement! My son owns a high-end AUDI, and his new car has been in the repair shop repeatedly for a total of 3 weeks due to problems with the software. My neighbor had so many problems with the software of his new high-end BMW that his dealer finally gave him a brand new replacement car. They both will switch to Tesla S cars in the near future because of my excellent experience with Tesla cars. No wonder the European high-end car manufacturers are utmost disturbed, to say the least, and are trying to catch up! But look at their first EV products so far: Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen E-cars without fast charge ports, allowing just pitiful 85 miles of range. Expensive and pathetic! Keep up your excellent work, Elon Musk!
