Best car experience ever

The first time I drove this car I realized that driving it is not an automatic task, it is an experience. I have owned mine for almost 2 years and I still feel the same every single day than what I felt in that test drive. The Soft and silent drive, crystal clear roof and interior design makes you feel like you are on a first class flight, but the best of all is that you are in control. I love the technology of the car and mostly the sound system, which is the best I have heard in my life.

It's just fun!

It's a great car. It's nice to start every day with all the fuel you need that day; no stops for gas. Electricity cost is about 1/5 the cost of gas. No oil changes. And trips are no problem with Tesla's network of superchargers. I've come to love the big screen navigation. It is easy to glance over and see shortcuts around traffic. You will love this car!

Best Performance Best Safety Low Cost No Oil!!!

Best Performance Best Safety No Maintenance Low Cost, This is the Longest Range Model 3. When it comes to electric cars, the range is the most important element with over 330 miles on a single charge. The Performance from this model is incredible!!! Just test drive and you will see what makes this different from anything you have experienced. The Full Self Driving and Auto Pilot can turn this into a future business. More cost effective than you realize. I save $200/month just on gas alone. This is the way vehicles should all be made. Game changer, like the iPhone was to cell phones.

Everyone should buy one of these

Not only is this car friendly to the earth, it is a lot of fun to drive! It'll go 0-60 in about 4 seconds and rides like a sports car.

Easily the Most Reliable Car I've owned!

There are not enough superlatives to describe this car. Efficiency, performance, reliability, total cost-of-ownership, smoothness, quietness, technology - all are top of class. It costs me about $0.03 per mile for electricity, requires no maintenance other than tire rotations, occasional cabin air filter replacement, and recommended occasional brake check. The Tesla Supercharger Network makes cross-country trips a breeze - in fact I've driven my from Upstate NY to San Diego and back twice.

Unbelievably great car to own

performance is outstanding, OTA updates are best in the industry, very good safety, design is excellent, and price was fair. Car averages better efficiency than the published ratings.
