My thought about my car tesla.
Tesla model s is a great car except it runs on electricity so sometimes it may cause issue but otherwise it's fine. Although it is a great car its fast stylish and smooth. So I suggest people this car. They should buy this car. Tesla makes wonderful cars.

The ai within my tesla is the most interesting detail that my car has.
The cars is a perfect sedan that you can use every day and has the best performance than every other sedan. Since it uses electricity I can relax anywhere and do not feel the bumps I feel in gas powers sedans. Also when needed I can charge my car for free in addition the ai can take to charging stations when needed. Finally the automatic driving system can take me virtually anywhere while I can relax and pay attention to other things.

It is amazing and is a great car too have.
Very good and I love to bring it everywhere. I do not have any problems with it and I think it is great for going places. I would recommend you to get it as well. This car gave me no problems and good because it is electric. This means I do not have to waste money on gas and worry about that.

Tesla model s is cost-efficient.
The tesla model s is a very reliable and eco-friendly car. Heating and cooling is a very fast process and there are many kid friendly features such as fart seats and a drawing pad. One of my favorite things about the car is not having to refuel for gasoline every so often. In the long run, it has saved me a lot of money and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to do the same.

Very comfortable and convenient for my life.
The seats are very comfortable leather and the control panel is easy to use. It has plenty of space and it is fast charging. It also has really nice cup holders and a big glove compartment. The self driving feature is really nice as well. I can always find my car with the tesla app which lets the car come to you. I can charge it overnight and be ready to go in the morning.

This is the best car out there.
When the model s launched in 2012, it was the first long-range, widely desired electric vehicle, and mainstream automakers have been struggling to catch up ever since. The model s is still impressive—it now has an EPA-estimated 402 miles of range in its long range plus variant—but for all its focus on autonomous technology, over-the-air updates, and easter eggs, tesla's interiors and build quality can sometimes fall short of expectations. Better-established luxury.

It is electric. I love it.
Works great! It is exactly what I was hoping for. I couldn't be happier with this vehicle purchase. The vehicle runs great and I have not experienced any major issues with its functionality. I love the vehicle and am not unhappy with my purchase. It is been a great vehicle and looks to be so for the foreseeable future.

The best car I ever had!!
It is a very nice car. It is comfortable and does not have any problems. It is fast and stops at a faster speed. It's so much better than the car that I had before. I honestly didn't know if I really wanted to buy this car but I am in love with this car and I would recommend it 10/10.

Tesla performance is inconsistent.
Do not buy a tesla. The money you save in gas is blown on repairs. We have never had a repair less than $3000. The electronics do not work consistently. The tires are thin and ran aground quickly. There are always problems with the charger. The car often fails to maneuver from reverse to drive, creating dangerous situations.

Unreliable
Since purchase in September 2019 the vehicle has had a main cpu replaced because of GPS failure (unable to navigate). It is currently in the Tesla repair shop again because the control scree and instrument panel have gone black. For a vehicle with 3200 miles and only nine months old, two major repairs suggests it is unreliable.

Unreliable
During nine months of ownership the vehicle has had two major computer failures which rendered the vehicle inoperative. The first failure was complete loss of GPS which required replacement of the main computer board. The second was a blackout of both the instrument panel and control panel. Each repair required several days in the service center. This is unacceptable for a new car.

Great car: I loved the tesla and it is my dream car.
The car is draining the battery too fast. I am looking to exchange the battery from the factory warranty. The performance wise is okay, but the vehicle is making lots of noise while I am going fast. I liked the comforts and the applications that tesla has provided; I would recommend tesla to my friends and family members.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Lauren G.

Electric (saves money on gas!), Beautiful, fun to drive, self-driving (when I get brave enough!), Safety, good headlights, reliable, good for families, handles well, dealership easy to deal with, heated seats.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Lauren G.

It is on the expensive side to buy and maintain, I wish it had more cargo space, reports of lots of accidents with self driving mode, with the controls were easier to use while driving - the tablet is hard to maneuver while driving, wish it had blind spot monitoring on side mirrors.
