Positive Owner Reviews

Tyler C

The most important thing about my car is that it is electric so therefore does not use gas and is better for the environment.

It is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It is great because it is an electric car and has a great navigation screen.

Joshua J

It's amazing. It has very high tech technology.

I like the vehicle because it is self driving. I also like it because it has a nice route guidance screen. No complaints.

Victoria H

Super durable and comfortable.

It's super comfortable and has good mileage. It seats people comfortably. The color and look of the car is stunning. I never regret my purchase. The price of the car is worth it. The car has a lot of horsepower. Everyone who gets inside of my car loves it so much and loves to ride in it.

Harri P

Performance and efficiency at hand.

It is a unique vehicle, its performance exceeds my expectations, after several years I have only done regular maintenance, its acceleration is very powerful, it allows me to develop good speed on the highways, it has a grip in the curves that offers a lot of safety.

Ron Swift

This has been a trouble free car.

With over the air updates I have features on the car that were not available when I purchased it 3 years ago (i.e. Auto-wipers, sentry security, pin code start, summons, etc). I had a side camera replaced and new touch screen installed all under warranty. The ride and acceleration on this car is unbelievable and cost of operation is very low.

Sarika T

Black color tesla with wide opening doors.

The car performance is great. It is a very smooth car to drive so no complaints from me there. The only thing is the charging can be sometimes a hassle for individuals. I really like how far the car can go after charging. The comfort level is amazing, it is really a spacious car with enough leg space for 5 people. The seats are super comfortable to sit on.

Kathy G

I do not care about the price of gas.

Love the sleek look of my car. Love that I do not spend any money on gas, oil changes, transmission maintenance etc. It is a smooth ride. I enjoy being able to drive alone in the carpool lane. On the surface, the car seems expensive because of the purchase price, however, once you factor in all costs associated with a non-electric and even a hybrid vehicle the tesla saves you money in the long run.

Clifford W

It is a Tesla. It puts together many new features well.

It is a Tesla, I like all of the new features put together well.

Negative Owner Reviews

Lauren P

My vehicle has Wi-Fi in it so that's pretty cool.

The Tesla vehicles performance is really excellent. The performance is awesome. The comfort takes awhile to get used to. The features are mostly touch screen. It does take awhile to get used to. It has great leather seats. It also has Wi-Fi on it so you can get on Facebook on it.

Kim I

A good Netflix and drive. Love seeing my newest episodes of Riverdale.

I love tesla vehicles as they seem to be part of the beautiful future car companies have constructed to us with their innovative ideas. I love vehicles for their enhanced technologies. They make me feel like I am in a new world, and I can even multitask at one time! So amazing!

Oofer N

Very good and comfortable.

Some problems that I usually encounter are that a lot of charging station ls are so far away and hard to get to. Other than that I love its design, its sleekness, and that it is more environmentally friendly. It is quite comfortable and reliable as a whole.

Amazing car! Best purchase I have ever made!

No problems this is an amazing car and my whole family uses it. Its battery last a long time which is good for road trips. There's also a lot of storage space. The car is so fun to drive and it's super fast and the lack of need to buy gas is amazing and saves us so much money.

Pros from Owners

Charles G.

It is electric and is very fast. It is very quiet and comfortable to drive. It has very quick steering and leather seats. It has AZ computer that tells you what is going on at all times. It has a spacious backseat.

Patricia S.

Not dealing with touching the gas pump. Conserve energy through solar panels. Better than standard cruise control. Smooth driving without loud noise. Nice sleek and modern interior. Nice Cargo Shade. Automatic Parking like a remote control car. Power Liftgate. Heated Steering Wheel. Power Folding Mirrors. Very spacious comfortable leg room.

Cons from Owners

Charles G.

I find nothing very wrong with this vehicle. Perhaps it takes to long to charge if you let the batteries run down too low or there is not a convenient charging stations available when you are taking a long trip.

Patricia S.

Too pricey. Most versions are now over $90,000. Interior features can be found like other luxury cars at the same price. Buyers need to consider charging availability if they drive long distances. Autopilot can become risky.
