    2013 Tesla original battery and still going

    I have owned 14 cars and this is the best car I have ever owned by far, my commute is 104 miles per day and it's saving me a ton of cash. My Model S P85 is a 2013 on it's original battery. I would not hesitate to buy another one. We are saving up now for my wife's new EV

    Best performing car.

    I initially did not want a Tesla. We purchased the car for our longer commute to save on gas. After my first drive I was hooked. The driving performance and stability is unbelievable. I love that they are always adding software updates. My only negative is that no one will touch the car in regards to getting it repaired. However, also knowing that Tesla is the one fixing the issue gives you the added benefit that it’s done right. Expect things to be a bit expensive because it’s not a cheap vehicle. But it doesn’t drive or perform like a cheap vehicle so it’s worth the cost. I have a very hard time imagining myself driving any other car than a Tesla S.

    Most exciting car since purchasing 1969 Corvette

    This car leads to--is-- the future. Absurd to drive a fossil-fueled vehicle spewing noxious deadly fumes. I have solar power totally filling needs of home and electric vehicle, plus electric company sending a check monthly for $250, repaying power put out on grid. I am not a tree hugger, just an 84-year old smart man married to an 89-year old very intelligent lady who picked out this 0-60 3.8s 90D Model S. Life in New Mexico on Mexican border

    The best automobile we have owned

    Great car. Very fast. Best handling sedan built. Fantastic styling inside and out. Little maintenance required. We fill it up (charge) everytime we go home. Tesla made change of ownership from previous owner a snap.

    Car of My Dreams

    This car is everything you could every ask for in styling and performance. The amount of technology in this car is unbelievable. The only reason I need to trade it in was I drive a lot and the charge would not last enough for the day. I would have really like to keep this car. As I said this was the car of my dreams.

    Car for the rich, expensive to maintain

    Fantastic torque and acceleration , ride is too sporty if coming form and expecting Mercedes/Lexus comfort and amenities . Most definitely a car for big deep pockets.

    Stunningly great, AND IT GETS BETTER!

    After literally decades of BMW's and MBZ's, we transitioned to Teslas in 2013. Our 2017 Model S 90D is paired in the garage with a P100D as well, and both bring joy with every drive with stunning acceleration, incredible smoothness, and a remarkably good ride, despite upgrading to the 21" wheels for enhanced handling. Even more impressive is that every few weeks the car gets better with OTA updates adding more features, enhancing the already pretty good Autopilot, and just getting more "stuff" you didn't even know you wanted (Spotify was added in v. 10). As I type this there are Tesla staffers adding even more features for v. 11, all of which will download in the months and years ahead, at no cost. That has never, ever, happened with any other car we've owned . . . and certainly not for free! Another benefit: we drive for free, and power our home, with our Tesla Solar Panels. They paid for themselves if under TWO YEARS as we added up the cost of gasoline, and the electric bills, and getting the solar panels was an absolute "no-brainer" decision. If your home's roof works well with solar, GET THEM soon after you get your Teslas and you'll laugh at gas price spikes, and utility bills, for the rest of your life. Lastly, for the minor service issues we have had, Tesla's Mobile Service is simply stellar: they come to your home or office with the parts and fix whatever is wrong on site! No wasted time or trips to the Service Center. There are dozens of other superlatives with buying a Tesla; don't have the time to list them all. Just get one (or some) for your family and you'll understand why it is so awesome to drive the future!
