Great vehicle for the family.

The car has been gray and very dependable. It is extremely safe for my family and fun to drive. The technology is out of this world and the car drives very smooth. The only problem I had was with the touch screen, which needed to be changed out for free.

Totally tesla for the beginner to ev.

I like the fact that it has rapid charging. I also like that the charging is free. The car has all supercharging included! That part has been really good. Overall the car has been very reliable. There was one or two problems but the warranty took care of those.

2013 Tesla Model S - An amazing car

There have been no issues thus far. It's really techy so if suggest learning about the vehicle prior to buying one. It can easily go over 100K miles. Updates are regularly sent out. And the sound system is superb. The speed is pantomime. It charges extremely fast and is a great buy.

You charge your car! Saves plenty of money.

Nothing is wrong with my car! I absolutely love it. There are many features! I love that it is a no gas user. My tesla drives itself. You will love everything about it as well. It is anyone's dream. It is white. Drives very smooth. Very sporty and fast. Clean look.

Tesla x comments. S no problems.

Battery stopped working, heated seats weak. Love doors and music is pretty good. Back windows do not go all the way down. Sometimes heat warm up feature will not work. I have had car go to neutral on highway without my choosing. A lot of problems but tesla service is great.

2013 CPO tesla model s. My first 15 months of ownership.

A few problems, but nothing that took me off the road. Tailgate stopped closing using the button. Had to close manually. One door handle stopped presenting. Tire pressure monitor showed error message. All problems were fixed under tesla 2 year used car warranty at no charge to me.

Drivability, hov lane

Love this car. I have 78000 miles and still have almost 95% life on the battery. No issues.

The tesla model s 2013: old vehicle, yet new features.

The tesla model s is essentially the most simplified of the tesla's (besides the new model 3). My 2013 model, despite being just 7 years old, has retained many cool features. One of the best things about owning a tesla is that they will stay up to date, despite the year/ age of the model. This keeps the value of my car consistent. I can also enjoy entertainment and media whilst also in the vehicle.

Tesla model s review from an owners perspective.

Love the car, the company and their mission of accelerating the transition to sustainable energy. My only complaint is I feel that their service could be better. A lot of times there can be a long wait to get service and the nearest service center is 2.5 hours away.

Tesla performance review.

I very much enjoy driving my tesla. Having a full battery every day beats going to the gas station and it feels good to help the environment. The performance of the car is also very solid. Accelerating is almost instantaneous, and it makes it fun to drive on the highway. The range is also very nice compared to other electric cars.
