Most reliable fun car I’ve ever owned

This Model 3 is the one to buy. It’s zero to sixty is just 3.3 seconds, capable of reaching 155MPH! Not only does it have insane power but a comfortable ride. Cargo space is plentiful, with not only a huge trunk but a spacious front trunk, or a frunk as some call it. The front truck or frunk even has little hooks to hang groceries so they don’t slide around while turning. It’s minimalist look actually grabs a good amount of attention, some people even take pictures. But if you don’t like attention, it can ride by people like a ghost. I personally think it is the Tesla’s most striking cars while being simple in design. Let’s not forget about that HUGE screen! Coming in at 15 inches, it is VERY responsive and high quality. It has never lagged or crashed on me EVER! (Unlike Tesla’s two other models that are well known for having faulty screens, laggy performance, and an orange hue defect around the sides. But the Model 3 is unmatched. It’s MASSIVE dashboard air vent is only one vent! It spans across the whole dashboard and makes a hurricane. The upgraded sound system is fantastic with all types of music! It provides clear tunes with just the right amount of bass. The very fine, smooth, leather steering wheel is very phenomenal to hold in your hands. It only has two buttons! So simple in my mind. One to control the music, the other for autopilot, let’s talk about autopilot! Autopilot is great everywhere, anytime! Even in urban areas. But this autopilot goes a step further. It’s not the normal auto pilot that only keeps you in lane, but can do more than you think. The Model 3 can be equipped with what is called Enhanced Autopilot. Not only does it read road lines, but it has more than eight cameras, a sonar and radar system to monitor the whole road and make sure you are safe. It even has a new feature called navigate on autopilot, which follows the built in nav and changes lanes FOR YOU. if you see that someone else’s Model 3 has a cool feature, no worries! As long as the Model 3 is connected to your WiFi, it can recieve any updates from TESLA! Then you’re up to the latest software! THE TESLA MODEL 3 DUAL MOTOR PERFORMANCE IS THE CAR TO GET. I’ve owned many cars from Porsche, BMW M-Performance and AMG. The Tesla beats them all at a low price.

Nice car but different

I test drove this car because someone said they had a good deal on them. NOT SO. This car was unlike any other car I ever driven. FASTEST car I ever driven. As fast as my motorcycle. Scary, you don't know how fast you are going on the open rode. Got it to 110 mph in about 6 seconds. No joke. The salesman almost freaked out. I didn't look at my speed until I passed 3 cars very fast. This car had a lot of room. Very comfy. Dashboard was nice, but plain. Loved the Navigation screen. Maybe if I had a little more money in my budget I would've taken this. Salesman explained, no maintenance needed except brakes, tires and a program update. Then spoke to my insurance company (GEICO) and the price for coverage was insane for the Bronx, where I live. All in all, I very nice car. But not what I was originally looking for.

Amazing style and drive!

The test drive exceeded my expectations for an electric vehicle! The safety features are inctedible and the comfort is hard to beat but the price is a little high for what you get!
