Cost to Maintain
This car literally needs almost zero maintenance. it needs a new cabin air filter every few years, wiper blades when worn out, wiper washer fluid, and tires. I normally get oil changes every 3-4 months. Not anymore!
Technology and Entertainment
This car will drive itself. I have a family member that’s had this same car for 2 years longer than I’ve had mine. They love it and go on trips all the time with the car driving itself. Talk about making a commute easy!
Power
This car easily merges in to traffic with a 0-60 of only 3.5 seconds. That power will also assist in getting you out of dangerous situations.
Styling
I don’t hate the exterior design, but I admit it could be better. Otherwise, I don’t have a single complaint.
Value
Less charging time. I have a charging station at my home. I may on average charge once every two weeks with no significant change to my utility bill.
Interior Space
room for everyone, and loads of room for gear
Cost to Maintain
Tire rotation and replacement is about it!
Cargo Space
lots of places to store gear
Technology and Entertainment
great mapping system that uses system info to better predict range than any other EV I’ve owned and the sound system is great

The price of Tesla's has gone up (like everything else) this year, but I expect they will drop back down once the Federal Rebate program starts in January.

Ride and Handling
It drives like a dream and is very quick when needed.
Value
As stated before, the savings I have by not using gasoline pays my monthly payment. I main decision to buy a Tesla was the savings it would give me over a gasoline vehicle.
Technology and Entertainment
You can control several features of the car from yours phones ap such as unlocking the car, air conditioning, security system and if you have the Auto Park and Summon features it will park itself and come pick up up at a push of a button!
Cabin Noise
The cabin noise is a little more than I would like but is easy to overlook with all the other benefits this car offers!
Fuel Economy
$10/mo of electricity vs. $165/mo of gas.
Power
Instant acceleration, even in Chill mode. Sport mode pins you to the back of your seat.
Cabin Noise
Very quiet. Hardly any road or wind noise.
Ride and Handling
Performance model has some stiff suspension. Still a good ride, but it’s not luxury.
Visibility
Visibility out the back and blind spots is low. All the cameras do help. You can’t see the hood while driving, so you need to rely on sensors while maneuvering in tight places.
Technology and Entertainment
Full Self-Driving (FSD) is still in beta at the time of writing this, and really isn’t ready for primetime. So, don’t buy this car for FSD. I’m sure it’ll be amazing at some point, just not now.
Fuel Economy
Never have to fill up on extremely expensive California fuel
Technology and Entertainment
super technologically advanced vehicle
Cost to Maintain
just need to buy tires, nothing else is needed
Value
They are expensive
Weather Versatility
not the best for off roading
