Tesla declared range is bogus.
Tesla declared range is bogus. In normal driving conditions the car consumes between 25 and 30 percent more, so the actual range of this car is under 220 miles.

Underwhelming, overpriced, but extremely fast
Owned this car for 10 days and returned it (carvana). Super powerful, cool-looking, but misses the mark for this price range. Extremely poor driver ergonomics, feels like it was designed by an software engineer. Too many frills, not practical. Acceleration aside, feels on par with a GLC 300. Great for Tesla shareholders - many people seem happy to overpay for this car. Tons of hype around it. Pros: + Fast. You can race a Ferrari. + Tons of frilly convenience features, like self-opening door, no power button, control certain features from your phone. + No need to take it to the mechanic for oil change, spark plug, etc (electric) + Excellent sound system, better than Mercedes/BMW. Has a real sub. + Roomy + Butterfly doors and batman wheel make you feel like you look cool in front of others, you can show off and make yourself feel better (great if you have emotional wounds that you're not ready to address) + Cruise control adjusts based on car in front of you Cons: – Drains battery SO fast. You must have a supercharger. I took the battery from 70% to 20% in 2 days over a weekend, drove about 120 miles. And it took 2 days to charge it. – I want to emphasize that it uses a LOT of energy. So the fuel savings may not be substantial, esp if you drive fast. You are lugging around 5500 lbs, the weight of an African rhinoceros. – Ride is not so smooth. The GLC 300 is much smoother. You can adjust the suspension stiffness but it doesn't help that much. – Tesla manufacturing is sloppy. Expect defects. I've talked to 5 Tesla owners and 3 found assembly issues. Mine had a misassembled windshield that make it sound like I'm on a plane on the freeway. Also had a gap near the back seat door, and totally misaligned door knobs. – Interior does not feel nice like a $100k car. It's "luxurious" like an entry level GLA 250 or BMW X1. For example, on a Mercedes, the driver's right index finger lands 1 cm from the volume knob. Meanwhile on a Tesla you have to take eyes away from the road and navigate 2-3 menus just to adjust the fan. – Most of the cool features are useless and feel gimmicky. Some are annoying and borderline dangerous. I find it horrible to have to use a screen for every single control. For example, you have to swipe to go forward/reverse. This would be great if the car was self-driving, but it's not. - You have to press buttons to signal. This drove me crazy, the buttons are tiny and so close apart, it takes skill to signal. You can't tell the buttons apart without looking and aiming.
