I bought my car used; 2018 to be exact and for being 7 years old, it feels like a new car. It handles smoothly, and I feel like I’m floating. I’ve had it less than a week but am totally in love with it.

Reviewed a 2018 Tesla Performance AWD on Apr 23, 2025
I like the interior, performance and technology. My first electric car so it is a little bit of adjustment with charging at home and surcharges. You do get range anxiety. The range isn't what I expected and hard to find chargers in some areas that you think should have some. Have to reroute longer routes to make it work. But car is amazing to drive. Not sure how getting things fixed will go as Tesas a couple hours from me. Seeting up the appointments is a little bit inconvenient.
