Jeff B
Reviewed a 2019 Tesla Performance AWD with Ludicrous Mode on Feb 7, 2025
By far the best vehicle I have ever owned, but what makes it special is that it gets better overtime with (free) software updates that improve or add new features. Tons of room, and fits all 3 car seats across the back row. I mostly let it drive me around but it's a great feeling to know that when I'm in the mood to get sucked into my seat, I just have to floor it and hold on. I've never let up without a huge grin on my face. My monthly gas budget was $250, and my utility bill increased by around $50, so it saves me $200 a month.

This was a great value. I had never driven a Tesla before and this experience was beyond rewarding. So easy to learn and such a comfortable, low maintenance yet sexy and sophisticated ride. Loved the extra space for shopping, and extreme comfort for passengers. Would rent over and over again above any other cars. Price was just as equally efficient compared to lower brands. I highly recommend.

Why it stands out
The 2017 Tesla Model S stands out as a luxury electric sedan that helped define the modern EV era. It was revolutionary when it entered the market, offering more than 200 miles of EV range, a minimalist interior, and an exterior shape guided more by aerodynamics than fashion. It also arrived with a huge 17-inch infotainment screen, generous interior space, and rear-wheel drive, giving it a distinctly futuristic feel that still resonates with buyers looking for something different from a conventional luxury sedan.
What makes the 2017 Model S especially appealing is how much technology and performance Tesla packed into it. The car’s standard touchscreen controls climate, entertainment, and vehicle functions, and the model also offered unlimited free supercharging at the Tesla Supercharger network. By this point in its life cycle, the Model S had already gained features such as Autopilot hardware, and the 2017 model year sits within a period when Tesla was still refining the car with ongoing updates rather than traditional annual redesigns. That software-driven approach is part of the Model S’s identity, and it helps explain why even older examples can feel current.
There are tradeoffs, though. The Model S is praised for impressive range, advanced technology, and sports car-style acceleration, but it also lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and build quality has been a recurring concern. Even so, the 2017 Tesla Model S remains distinctive because it combines early EV innovation, strong performance, and a cabin that feels ahead of its time.
