The best car I have ever owned!

I have owned many cars, including many high-performance and luxury cars. The Tesla Model 3 is the best daily driver by far of any car I have owned. I also have FSD Beta, and it is fantastic. Do not believe all of the FUD. FSD works, and I use it every drive. Especially in heavy traffic, is reduces my mental load by 80%. It really is impressive and has prevented a few potential accidents. I have tried other driver assist and they are not even close.

Best car for the money!!

There is no better car for the money in terms of safety, performance, technology, features and fun. My next vehicle for my wife will be a Tesla.

Tesla Model 3 is an amazing experience!

This was my first Tesla and I am never going back to an ICE vehicle. Best driving experience, software updates, ease of use, smooth driving, comfortable and great customer service. Never going back to another brand.

Never pay for gas again! Thrilled with my Model 3

From the moment I got behind the wheel, the Model 3 has been nothing short of a game-changer in my daily commute and long-distance travels. It even caught someone keying my car with the Security Sentry mode, which records everything around the car with its 8 cameras. I was able to track down the person who vandalized my car because they parked beside me and it recorded their license plate. I forwarded the footage to the police and they caught them!

Best that money can buy!

Absolutely loving my Tesla Model 3! It’s a game changer in terms of tech and performance. The autopilot feature is mind-blowing, and the acceleration is out of this world. Super sleek design and the interior is top-notch. Plus, zero emissions make it a guilt-free ride. It’s not just a car, it’s the future on wheels. Highly recommend!

I love this car!!

I have owned my 2023 Tesla Model 3 RWD since December 2022. I got a great deal since Musk gave a 7500 credit up front and i qualified for a 7500 state rebate which I received promptly. I find this car a total blast, but I have always owned beaters so this car was far above anything I've ever had! I zip along mountain roads and with the low center of gravity, I have nothing but fun!! Few drawbacks for me at the killer price of $33k i paid... The heater and the A/C are big time range killers though, and the LFP battery seems to degrade pretty fast... I hope they come up with much better batteries sooner rather than later. I highly recommend this car with few, if any, reservations!

Best car I’ve ever driven in the past 50+ years.

I’ve driven my Model 3 for about 3 years. So far no problem at all. When I’ve had any issues it is something I did wrong with settings. Some software updates may cause some problems. But Tesla quickly solves those problems.

Fewer features and lower on a newer car is a no

I had a 2020 lease and got the 2023 after my lease expired. I’m very disappointed with this car. It costs more but has fewer features and lower quality than my previous car which is the same comparable model. The sound system isn’t as good, it didn’t even include a home charger. The worst was discovering that there’s no park assist because they removed the ultrasonic sensors. My 2022 Mini Cooper even had sensors to help me park! I know they’re working on Tesla vision or whatever but they should have waited to remove the sensors once they already had it released. All in all I’m not happy with this car and likely won’t get another Tesla after this. Hopefully there will be better alternatives in 2026.

Tesla vehicles quality is going down

I received my Model 3 on 11-15-22. For a vehicle that exceed 50K, you would expect better quality: 1. wind noise from driver and passenger side (I had to bring the car to the service center twice, the problem still has not been fixed!) 2. Auto wiper intermittently work (rainy days) 3. Floor mats - velcro doesn't keep the mat from moving!
