Excited about this car. It feels so futuristic and super luxurious. Hard to know what you’re missing if you’ve never experienced it firsthand… but I know now. It’s smooth, calm, and simple. The car is extremely powerful and so utilitarian. Very nice looking and intuitive too. Can’t say enough good things about it. People may say bad stuff about Tesla, but that’s probably all coming from the outside and not people who actually own these cars.

This is a fantastic car, once you drive a Tesla Model S, you dont want to drive anything else. It is powerful, comfortable and beautiful. You can trust this car even with a high mileage. You have to test drive to make sure there no issue with suspension but the rest is nothing to worry about. Its a reliable car very impressive

Acceleration in the performance version is something all sports car enthusiasts will appreciate and love, build quality unfortunately is not so spectacular. If not for the insane speed, I would have given it 2 of 5 stars.
