Love the car : Hate the customer service

I have driven the Model 3 over the last three years. The Pros: This is my first EV and I have loved driving the vehicle: its fun, responsive and the dual motor, extended range makes highway driving a breeze. While I have the self park, summon and self drive features, I have not used them much. Charging has been fine since I have a 220V connection at home and and overnight charge gives me a week's worth of city commuting. A few times I have used the Supercharger and it has been efficient. Software updates happen every two to three weeks which are not always trouble free, beware of some glitches that occur . Cons: TESLA service STINKS! Do not expect any kind of help or assistance from their customer service number since no one answers the phone. When you do get a response, they insist on doing everything via the Tesla app, which in my opinion has a rating of zero. If you are selling a luxury car, at least provide a representative one can talk to! If your car has malfunction or repair issue, you cannot take it to the nearest service center since they will not see you without an appointment (again via the App) In summary, its a good car. However, Tesla has to drop its hubris if it wants to compete in the EV marketplace. While they had a head start 5 years ago with hardly any competition, BMW, Audi, Ford and even KIA/Hundyai have fully loaded vehicles with all the whizz bang features at competitive prices (and excellent customer relations)

The best car ever. I can't be geared to tell you how happy I am with this car it does have a bit of a learning curve and if you have full self-driving you have to adjust from driving to piloting. That being said I can't understand why everybody doesn't at least have one. I use my car locally hardly ever drive it more than an hour or two away from home I leave every morning with a full charge I do not have the advance charging system I just use the trickle charger that runs off of 110 it cost me $0.12 for every 5 mi in Florida and it charges at 5 mi per hour My daily drive is 50 miles to and from work so overnight it puts a full charge back on the car.. The fact that I never need to change oil or touch another gas pump or take time out of my day to even stop and get gas over an entire year adds up to be an amount of time I get to use elsewhere. There are so many benefits in having an EV it's hard to understand until you've actually owned one and a factor in the things that you do not have to do now.

I previously drove a 2016 Audi A6 which I absolutely love. But, I can honestly say the Tesla is the best car I have owned. Don’t get me wrong, the Audi is a magnificent vehicle but driving the Tesla is so much fun. After driving an EV, it is hard to imagine going back to a gas propelled vehicle. The Instant power, the regenerative breaking, and the crisp handling was beyond my expectations. The seats are extremely comfortable and the interior provides plenty of room for a small vehicle. The technology is very easy to use and I like the one screen controls everything. The plain looking interior feels comfortable, clean and I like the minimalist styling. Although it is minimalistic, it feel luxurious. Driving is a blast, even in the standard model the acceleration is instantaneous and quick. The handling is crisp and you feel connected to the road. The instrumentation is easy to read and the technology is intuitive which is impressive. I will admit I was not excited about the table that controls everything but I now find it very ingenious. As I continue my ownership I will update my review if necessary. UPDATE REVIEW I am 5K into my ownership of my Tesla Model 3 Standard. As a realtor, I spend a lot of time behind the wheel. I will start with the Pros PROS This car is a blast to drive. I love the combination of comfort, sportiness, and luxury. I wasn’t sure if I would like the simplicity interior but I love it. I personally like one screen operating everything. There is a learning curve but it is pretty quick. My last car was an Audi A6 and I enjoy driving this car more than my Audi and I loved my Audi. Handling is very crisp and you feel in total control behind the wheel. The ride isn’t as soft as many luxury cars but the combination of speed, handling, and comfort are perfect in my opinion. Acceleration is instantaneous no matter what speed your going. Not having a transmission makes for seem less acceleration. The technology is fantastic. The controls are easy to use once you get acclimated. The sound system is exceptional even in the base trim. I did add a subwoofer in the trunk since the base model does not come with one. Movies sound like a movie theater. The cruise control is the best I have experienced and the ability to respond to voice commands is very impressive and you don’t have to “train” it to recognize your voice. The navigation system is also the best I have experienced. The range is more than adequate for my driving habits. Cons When I approach my vehicle I often have to turn around so the car can read my card in my wallet for it to unlock. For some reason, my phone won’t always open the doors for me. That is a bit annoying but no big deal. Every blue moon when using cruise control it disengages which is annoying It doesn’t happen often but it is something I noticed. Many have complained about the fit and finish and I have noticed a few flaws. Overall, this is the best vehicle I have owned. I love it. Like most cars it isn’t perfect but it exceptional.

When I first received this car back in February 2022, I was absolutely in love with it. It was a little rocket ship and was so fun to drive. I ordered my favorite color combination blue with white interior and couldn’t find enough excuses to drive. A mediocre fit and finish was my only complaint, but I thought I could live with that. No more expensive premium fuel and ridiculous German car service bills! As time went on, though, my love affair with the car started to wane. I noticed a sore lower back and neck after long drives, something I never had with my previous car, an Audi A4. And the suspension is merely OK, bordering on rough sometimes. Wind and road noise, decent at lower speeds, can become slightly worse than average at highway speeds. I started to notice the poor fit and finish more, especially on the interior, as small creaks and rattles settled in and the windshield never completely defogged correctly. The car’s range has decreased slowly but noticeably over time. At this point, I merely like the car enough to keep it, mostly because I fear I would not get a good trade-in due to oversupply in my area. I still love the performance and the tech is great (I never had a problem with auto steer but I don’t abuse it). The sound system is pretty decent (though not as good as my old Audi’s Bang and Olfusen set-up). But my back should not feel punished when driving more than 100 miles and I don’t have confidence that the scratchy plastics and seats will hold up well over the long haul. The paint job is subpar, and the car just doesn’t feel premium. I find myself missing my Audi, something I would have never guessed would ever happen when I first got that beautiful, shiny rocket ship. Would I buy it again if I had to do it all over again? Probably not honestly. I’d opt for a plug in hybrid from a brand that holds its value and feels premium and doesn’t give me a back-up.

Is it because Musk said Tesla might go bankrupt?

Tesla is trying to charge me to align a steering wheel that has been slightly askew to the right since we got the car, three months and 3,000 miles ago. $300. Having owned over 50 new cars, I would have never imaged that they would try to charge for this given we haven't curbed it, hit a pothole, or anything similar. My question to them, after a couple of hours figuring out how to talk to someone at Tesla (the local center wouldn't give me the name and number of the manager), is "what else is going to go wrong with the vehicle - that every other car maker out there would cover under warranty - that I'll have to pay for. I actually have a quote from the text of the local center that says "it is normal for Teslas to need an alignment at 3,000 miles and it is maintenance, not warranty." My response was "you've got to be kidding me!" So, I'll get it fixed, pay for it, and get rid of it. First and last Tesla.
