Car is futuristic and so smooth. By far fastest car I’ve ever owned so easy to merge and get up to speed with moving traffic. There is more cameras on the car than Fort Knox so can see everything around car. The feature of breaking once foot comes off gas pedal can be changed but is most optimal and takes a little bit of time to get used too. This car has everything nothing it is missing!

Safest car in its category, and most advanced technology compared with other cars in its class. Great energy consumption , I averaged 245Wh/mile over 30k+ miles . The front seats are very comfortable for long drives, while the seating position and steering wheel adjustments range are bringing more value and comfort. I would always buy another Model 3.

It’s been great, says it can get 350 miles per charge I am sure if I drained it it would get close but I have not done that. My wife does 170mile round trip drive and leaves with 80% comes home with 25% left so it’s been working out well. Wall charge does charge faster then I thought since we still have not had time to install the fast charger ( level 2 ) I am sure we could do it daily if she needed too just need takes a while to get an electrician to do the work.

Its a bit smaller than a mid-size Sedan. The back seats are a bit uncomfortable and not a fan of the all glass roof. Other than that a good car.
