Tesla Model S
With its exceptional range, strong performance, and innovative design, the Tesla Model S forever changed the public perception of electric vehicles (EVs) at its 2012 debut. And it still impresses to this day, with top-of-the-line trims reaching 60 mph in less than three seconds and even base models offering more than 300 miles of range. Inside, the Model S's cabin sports a minimalist design dominated by a 17-inch vertical touchscreen that controls most of the car's functions, including Autopilot, Tesla's advanced driver-assistance system. While groundbreaking in many respects, the Model S does have a few downsides, though. For instance, some owners report occasional quality-control problems, such as uneven body panel gaps, paint issues, and inconsistent fit and finish inside the cabin. Also, its reliance on a touchscreen for nearly all controls can be distracting for some drivers. Despite these criticisms, the Tesla Model S remains an EV icon, offering a blend of range, performance, and tech that few competitors can match.

20000 miles so far. Always looking for a reason to drive. Love the AP and TACC on the highway and in traffic.

2014 Tesla Model S
I am 5'3" inches tall, female. The seat belt cuts right across my neck, very uncomfortable. I have moved the seat up as high as it will go, and also purchased a little plastic bracket that fits over the seatbelt and clamps the two straps together, effectively securing the "cross body" strap from sliding up to my neck. But, it does not work as well as I would like and there are annoyances with this method also. I wish there were a way to adjust the seat belt in such a way that it does not choke me in the neck.

Absolutely love the driving experience and all-electric. It will be very difficult to purchase internal combustion engine again.

2014 Tesla Model S
I purchased a Tesla Model S because after heavily researching the car it became clear to me that this company is ushering in the future of automobiles. I was enamored with the idea of never having to buy gas again, but every other electric car I looked into, and I looked at all of them, was full of compromises. Very little range, lackluster performance, slow charge times, gas range extenders, etc. Tesla was the only company that was breaking the mold and making not just a great electric vehicle, but one of the best cars available regardless of the type of fuel. The purchase experience was excellent and the car is by far the best I have ever owned.
