"Incredibly elegant, plenty of storage space, shockingly fast and smooth, handles like a sports car - or if you want, like a cadillac - it's up to you. Forever renewed with over-the-air software updates that add new features to your car and your driving experience. Incredible. Free charging for life at the soon-to-be nationwide Tesla superchargers. And I am now saving $3200 PER YEAR by not buying gas. Folks, this is the future of transportation. Get on board."

"I got my Tesla Model S on Xmas Eve and have loved every minute of it. The handling is amazing and my last car was a BMW 750iL. The acceleration is incredible and makes people feel like they are in a roller coaster when I floor it. The screen is really cool and I love that Tesla continues to send updates with new features. Many people have stopped me while I am parked and asked if this was the new Tesla and that it looks so cool. Haven't had an issue with the range but I don't plan on taking it on long trips. It's also nice to drive a car that is completely silent. The other features that weren't in the Cars.com review that I have in my car is the voice recognition which works pretty well and searches Google for points of interest. I already have a deposit on the Model X for my wife which comes out next year. I have given a bunch of test drives to friends and every person says it's amazing. Go test drive one if you have a Tesla store in your city even if you aren't going to buy one. It's fun just to see what every car should be like in the future."

"Tesla Model S is the first luxury EV that goes 250+ miles on a charge and with Tesla's revolutionary "Supercharger" technology - all owners of Model S can charge their cars for free - using solar energy! Tesla Model S drives & handles like no other machine , even better than BMW or Mercedes. Tesla created a revolutionary EV that is worth every penny! Love it and highly recommend!"
