Fun, fast

I really love this car. It looks great, is very fast, and is all-around fun to drive. The one-pedal braking is the best feature, IMO. Would purchase again.

Want to love the car but comes with baggage

If you want an electric sedan perhaps this might be a good choice given its access to superchargers. However, you would have to settle for squeaks, rattling sounds, shoddy workmanship, misaligned panels, interior with workers fingerprints. Service Center can be helpful but often times parrot scripted lines. Also very clumsy with work. In general feels like I'm walking on thin ice and not know what going to break. 1) superchargring is great 2) Tesla revolutionized cars 3) Unfortunately model 3, Y are rickety vehicles that I love to drive but the squeaks and rattles annoy me I would hate to go back to a regular gas car but unfortunately Corolla, Prius, Civics, Camry, Accords have better quality and reliability. There are plenty of fans who will vouch and dismiss criticisms. However, I recommend that you rent a car for 5 days and test it before spending $40k.

Tesla all the way, Rivian second.

Got the 2023 standards model 3 and it far exceeds any other car, especially ICE. Every single car I will own from here on out will be a Tesla. The other ev brands can't compete. Will also get the Rivian R1S, that is the only other brand I would consider. Don't buy an EV from a company that also makes gas cars unless you like throwing away $.

2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD - A Great Car!

I own a 2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD. It has LFP batteries and I can charge it to 100%. It's degraded about 3% after 15 months, so not too bad on the battery. It's been great, with no problems that were Tesla's fault. A truly great car and highly recommended!

Best Car I’ve Owned

It’s so much better than expected and my expectations were high. There are so many lies out there about Tesla’s but they are easy to drive and easy to own, and more affordable than most think. I’ve had a few minor issues but Tesla took care of them quickly. I’ll never go back.

Safe, Reliable, American made, Fast

Best car I've ever owned. Will buy again. Safest car in the world. Most american made car. Low cost of ownership. Virtually no maintenance costs. Haven't been to a gas station in 3 years. And it's fast!

We love our model 3 so much my wife is getting a Y

Hands down the best car experience my wife and I have ever had. After buying our model 3 we have basically become a 1 car family simply because neither of us like driving a non tesla anymore. My wife stated that she will be getting a model Y next and no other car is even an option to look at.

Nothing better

Remember that feeling when you got a smartphone and were amazed with how much better it was to your old phone that could only text? Once you own a Tesla, you won’t go back. It’s that good.

Don’t underestimate Tesla

Though financially TSLA has ruined me because I keep shorting their stock the vehicles themselves are very good. My Tesla is the best car I’ve owned & I certainly don’t miss the visits to the gas station. Fit & finish on my car is excellent and interior noise levels are lower than my Audi Q7.

Wonderful

Such a joy to drive always. I love the sound system and the acceleration. I love showing people the car to share the joy with others. Cannot recommend highly enough.
