Best car I've ever owned

The car is wonderful. Electric cars are the future. The autopilot is amazing as its super useful in bumper to bumper traffic and coasting on highway. The car is a little pricey, but the car continues to improve with over the air updates.

The future is here!

This car got the highest Consumer Reports rating, and you can see and feel why. It's acceleration will beat supercars of 2x or 3x the price. I handles great or you can let it drive for you. It has great styling. Storage in front and in back.

I love this car!!

The Modle S is a fantastic car that is not matched by many others out there. It is super cheap to drive, it is awesome plugging while sleeping and waking up to a fully charged ready to go 200+ mile car! It is quiet, it handles well! It is great in the snow. If I have one complaint it is that the interior could have been a bit more functional. With things like map pockets in the doors. But overall you will not be disappointed!

Stunning

Beautiful car inside and out. My boss owns one and let me test drive it. Worth every penny according to them. Looking into getting my own.

Best car on the planet

I've owned many vehicles in my life, including my share of BMWs. My Tesla Model S is hands down the best car I've ever had the privilege to drive. The all-electric power train provides instant, addicting acceleration with 100% torque at any speed, and silently! The huge 17" center touchscreen is very intuitive and responsive when it comes to controlling almost every aspect of the vehicle and drive settings. Charging is a breeze at home using a 240V outlet and the thousands of Supercharging stations across the country for road trips. And lastly, it's simply a beautiful car to look at, inside and out.

Most beautiful machine on the road today

Excellent vehicle, I enjoy driving it everyday. I love how it combines style, luxury, performance and eco-friendly in one package. Can be pricey, but is worth the investment for today and the future.

Excellent but expensive

Great car overall. Range not an issue and Superchargers are great. Great acceleration and no need to wait for downshift. Steering feel can be better. My major issue is factory support. Had an accident with the car and had to wait two and a half month for parts.
