Very nice car and drives smoothly. I love it.
My car is very nice and it goes fast. It has a very nice interior with comfortable seats and goes for around 200k. The car is very spacious and can fit 5 people. It runs on electricity instead of gasoline which is very nice and helps the environment.

An amazing car. Totally worth the money.
The tesla roadster is an amazing sport car and totally worth the buy if you're interested in a fine sleek sports car model from tesla. I absolutely love the design of the key and love that I can unlock the car from my phone. I also love how fast it can go and how good it looks in the sunlight.

They're terrific and should be considered by everyone.
Too expensive but otherwise a vehicle like no other!

I really like the inside of the car.
I like it a lot because it is pretty fast, the color is nice, it is an electric car, the inside of the car, and the doors of the car. I also like how it has 4 seats, so you can take your family too. The car is pretty big. I recommend people getting this car because you can go pretty much anywhere with it with family or friends.

Flying beauty tesla sports car.
It is pretty smooth, but the only problem is that it goes too fast and I cannot control the speed sometimes which makes me afraid but I always try to control it. I want to get a better color for the car. I also enjoy how smooth the steering wheel feels and does not get jammed like other cars.

It's electric. It doesn't use gas meaning I save money while helping the environment
I like that it is good for the environment. It also has extreme torque and only needs electricity to keep going not gas. But a tesla is not cheap
