Incredibly safe and fun car

This car accelerates , decelerates, and overall drives unbelievably smoothly. It responds lightning quick, making it one of the safest cars I know of (if not the safest). A high price, but a higher value. Many unique and helpful features such as the large touch screen, which includes a back up camera, connection to music anywhere in the world, satellite connection to the internet, and so much more. Best electric car on the market, hands down. Will last you 30+years

Great vehicle

Have owned/driven Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, and Audi models over the years. The Tesla is equal to all of the above, but exceeds in technology, and the presentation (ease of access...no buttons) to the technology'. I prefer leaders in the field, rather than those companies who try to catch the innovators. Would highly recommend to prospective buyers!

Fantastic vehicle

I purchased this car 3 months ago. Prior to this car I was a die hard BMW enthusiast as I believe they have the best gas-powered performance sedan made. I expected to purchase another one. I had an interest in the Tesla, as I had heard it had good performance and with young children at home going electric to help the environment seemed honorable. Now - once I test drove this car - I bought it on the spot! It has more power, very comparable handling and braking, and hands down the most convenient and powerful technology i have ever seen in a car. Oh, and it is nice to not pay for gas!

The perfect car

I've owned a Tesla Model S-85 for nearly two years and there is simply nothing like it on the road. It is truly the most perfect driving experience you can imagine. The acceleration is astonishing, so smooth and fast that people always gasp the first time they experience it. And I have the base S-85, not the performance model. But for me the biggest thrill is knowing that this fast, flawless electric car is powered by the solar panels on our roof, and so is carbon free on top of being all around amazing.

What more could anybody want?

Except maybe a less expensive price tag. The effort by Tesla went into making this car the best driving experience in the world, and they succeeded in their goal. There are some who gripe about the relatively spartan Bauhaus interior but Tesla spent their money where it counts, acceleration, complete absence of NHV, great handling, smoothness etc. Until you drive one you won't fully understand the difference between ICE cars and an all electric car.The Tesla is just better at almost everything. I've only had mine for a couple of months but the car was delivered defect free. It is by far the best car I've ever owned, worth the money. ICE cars in it's class are just pimped up versions of cheaper models, lots of gadgets and leather but don't drive any better than an Accord. The Tesla has user satisfaction rates in the high 90's vs mid 60's for competitors.
