This car has such a smooth ride. Accelerating from 0-50 is fast. Not having to stop and fill up the gas tank is a huge plus. Being able to travel and have to charge only a handful of times is awesome. This is by far my favorite car. I like that it's got an awesome safety rating.
This car is very safe. The safety is a big deal for me as I have 2 kids and I always worry about how others drive around me.

Awesome performance vehicle.
The car is extremely comfortable. It drives itself and comes equipped with Spotify. The screen is huge and the car is very easy to control. It has a front and rear trunk. Plenty of room for storage. The seats are comfortable and can be set just the way you like.

It's amazing I love it so much.
My car is very good, it is looking nice, gets all the girls, it goes really fast like a roller coaster, it's really fun to ride in like I am shook. But anyways you should buy this car I love it, it leaves a lot of space for you and if you have kids they will love it.

My Tesla Fun and reliable to drive
Love my Tesla, it provides a reliable vehicle and is fun to drive. At first I thought the need to charge the vehicle might be a problem but Tesla has provided supercharger all along my travels. I have traveled from Southern California to San Francisco with no problems or fear of running out of charge. Again, this car is fun to drive, reliable and virtually maintenance free. .

It is a technological dream car with the ability to steer automatically, slow, speed up with the traffic
It's an all electric car which contributes to pollution to the environment. It has a great technology package, is safe, and is the smartest car I've even driven.

Tesla model s in a nutshell.
The cost of ownership has been extremely low. The only major issue has been the inability to take a road trip. Even though there are many charging stations now, it still takes 30-40 minutes for a full charge. Due to the need to charge, the time it takes to go long distances is almost doubled.

Great sleek look, bad air conditioner and pretty fast car.
The one problem must people talk about when it comes to the tesla is the air conditioner has this odd smile to it. The best thing about the tesla is how fast it goes from 0 60 in 2 to 3 seconds. I love the seats they are very comfortable. It is a very simple look to which is something to love because it is not a bunch of buttons to push.
