2019 Tesla Model 3 consumer reviews

I feel like a fighter pilot. The instant torque and response in such a quiet package makes driving so precise and fun. No engine means no talking loudly. It's more than just a comfortable ride, it's a sleek, sophisticated machine with less than 250 moving parts

Car is years ahead of others. It's fast and fun to drive. I plan on keeping it for 10+ years. It never gets boring looking or driving it.

Just the tip of the iceberg on this great looking and functioning car. I think Elon Musk may be on to something here. This car is smooth to drive and amazing safety features. Highly recommended!

A used Tesla. Few moving parts. Low risk on an unseen used car. No engine or transmission that could be damaged. Mine had front skin and suspension damages. All repaired by Tesla-trained mechanic and Tesla parts. Tesla recertified. Atolochty will not touch it if frame, motor or battery has any damage. Great!

THE CAR IS AMAZING.. ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM wow!!! beautiful and fast! THE CAR IS AMAZING.. ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM wow!!! beautiful and fast! THE CAR IS AMAZING.. ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM wow!!! beautiful and fast!

I have owned several cars before buying this car and no car has ever given me the pleasure of driving as much as this car did. This car amazes you in every possible way and the current website price of the car with the same configuration is $58,200(Not including taxes). 0-60 mph - 4.4 seconds (Mind-Blowing! BEST PART OF OWNING THIS CAR!!) Full Self-Driving Capability (Out of the world!!)

I LOVE driving this car. And much to my surprise, it keeps getting better with periodic, free over-the-air software updates. About 2 months ago I got an update that refined the motor controls enabling another 5% power, getting the 0-60 time to ~4 seconds! There’s a lot that’s different from typical cars like the center display. But it’s like getting your first iPhone and getting used to the lack of physical buttons. And yet much can be done just from the steering wheel buttons or from voice control. I charge in my garage overnight and never worry about having to fuel up going to or coming home from work. There’s plenty of fast DC charging locations that put plenty of range into the battery faster than it used to take to tank up my old SUV at Costco during rush hour. I have a 300 mile range but rarely ever have had to go below 100 miles remaining. When I plan a road trip the navigation system automatically suggests places to charge up at, and by default routes you through Tesla Superchargers unless you decide to skip it. They charge a very reasonable per kWh rate and there’s no buttons to press or cards to swipe on their chargers. Just shove the handle into the port on your car and it automatically recognizes your car and bills the credit card you have on file with Tesla. But there are many other networks you can use like ChargePoint, EV-Go, ElectrifyAmerica, etc. using the included “J-plug” (IEEE J-1772) adapter which is the most common socket on EV’s other than Teslas. The amount of useable space is great. It seats five comfortably and can fit luggage for all of them too. The traffic adaptive and automatic lane holding cruise control is fantastic for trips. Just relax and let the car keep up with traffic and instantly slow or stop as needed, and resuming when everyone starts rolling again. The dual motor version enables all wheel drive (as well as nearly doubling the horsepower) and gives it great handling in the snow. . I have driven to and from Lake Tahoe in a heavy snow storm in stop and go traffic for hours. The “engine braking “ enabled by the motor turning motion back into electricity (when you take your foot off the accelerator pedal) is really smooth especially on snowy roads. It enables one-pedal driving where I rarely have to press the actual brake pedal. Such fun! On really hot or cold days I can prestart the climate control from my iPhone, or even schedule it for my daily commute. Even the included streaming music service is great and use it a lot even though I already subscribe to Apple Music . (I really like the “Nonvocal Chill” streaming channel for unwinding on the way home from work). One other thing I feel good about is it’s one of the highest USA content cars available. The motors and batteries are made in Reno, NV, and the body is made in Fremont, CA. (Only the bodies of Chevy Bolts are made in the US, with the batteries and electronics made by LG in Korea; Lots of “American” automakers actually make their most popular models in Mexico.)

Owning my Tesla Model 3 has been a daily thrill for the past 13 months, quiet, smooth, efficient, no maintenance, handles like its on rails, unshakable traction control and stick that makes me feel like Mario Andretti. Every time I drive get into my car and drive out of my garage I hear Yello's Oh Yeah (see Ferrari scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off) in my head. Truly, it is that much fun. I’ve actually driven more miles this past year because my Tesla is so convenient and inexpensive to take on road trips. I routinely drive my Autopilot equipped (standard not FSD) private transport pod rather than jump on the cattle cars we call modern commercial aviation. I get to stay connected at the office, home, listen to podcasts and books on tape with my ultra-connected Tesla. Autopilot keeps me centered in my lane, away from slowing cars in front and up to date when I'll get to the next Supercharger. I've even conducted an online goto-meeting while stuck in bumper to bumper traffic in Cincinnati, Autopilot handled it all. I arrive refreshed rather than tired when I get to my destination. When's the last time that happened on a long drive? Even though I pay each time I do Supercharge, the cost is low, $0.025/mile rate for electricity usually less than $10 for a full charge to get me to my next stop. (Detroit to Nashville was <$30 in Superchargers fees each way). Also I get to expense $0.56/mile mileage so I actually make money traveling (That trip to Nashville was more than $500 in my pocket AND less expensive than Delta flight.) I don't know who the super travelers are that think a 500 mile range on a gas car is usable when they have to stop every 3-4 hours for food and bio-break. A typical charge is 15-25 minutes on the V2 charges (150 kW) which is faster than I can hit the restroom, order a meal and be back on my way. The newest V3 Superchargers are 250kW rate are getting rolled out and will trim the average charge time to 10-15 minutes. (All Tesla Models 3s are equipped to use the future V3 Sueprchargers, Tesla seems to think ahead on many items.) Oh I only use Supercharger network on road trips because normal charge handled via a 240 volt charger (same as a electric oven plug) in my garage. Charing plug in literally takes 5 seconds after I park my car. I can't tell you how nice it is to avoid standing in the cold wind to fill my gas tank in Michigan winters! I've owned and driven some of the iconic cars: Mustang GTs, Corvettes, Cadillac CTS V, Subaru Outback AWD, Volkswagon Passat TDI, Chevy Volt Premium ( can you tell when the kids arrived?) and this car beats everyone of them in their best aspect: Better acceleration than a Mustang SVT, more comfortable than CTS-V, more passenger and truck space than a Mustang GT, better track handling than a Corvette, better grip than a Subaru Outback (AWD) more efficient than my Passat TDI and more range than my Chevy Volt. Add on to this no maintenance, no oil changes. The traction control is so good even getting on it frequently (like every day) my tires are past 25k and still have 50% life. I used to spend $2000 each year on tires for my CTS-V, 2 x full synthetic oil changes at $90 each, all memories now. I spent $600 on added electricity charging my car at home in 2019 for more than, wait for it, 25,000 miles driven! Boom! I love saving money and sticking it to the oil company man! Ok, the last item is the Over the Air updates. My Tesla actually gets better with time, every 4-6 weeks I get a new software download (happens just like my computer update late at night while I’m sleeping) that improves charging experience, improved automatic wipers, adds more entertainment features (latest was Spotify), improves AutoPilot since its constantly aggregating all the learning from drivers (more than 500k on the road now), improves my connected cell phone app, (it tells me where in a parking lot I’m parked, accurate within 10 ft!)…. And I don’t need to pay extra for this connectivity like I had to with my Chevy Volt for OnStar, so 1990s! Buy one you’ll not regret it.

This car makes driving an experience. The features, styling, and performance are all far beyond anything I’ve every experienced in a car. I’ve owned several high performance and luxury vehicles and this once takes the cake every time.

This is more than a car. I get excited to drive it and even has made LA traffic bearable. There isn't another car that comes close!
