Positive Review
This car makes all internal combustion engine cars antiques. Range anxiety is none existent. Really, can it get any easier than to plug your car in at home and leave every morning with a full "tank". Or, go days without charging and charge all at once overnight. On long trips the Tesla network is perfect, you charge to 80% in about 20 minutes and then move on. The car is very smooth and quiet riding. Without a clunky engine running it is such a pleasure to drive. And is it fast. The instantaneous power is intoxicating. The car is very well constructed and the software updates make it seem like a new car every time you receive one. No stops at gas stations, no oil changes, no filters, no exhaust system, no tune-ups. After 8 months and over 10,000 miles my maintenance costs = $0 and my cost to charge = ±$250.

Critical Review
I highly recommend that you wait until many more electric vehicles come out from other automobile manufacturers. The car is fun to drive and has a lot of easy to use features, but the quality of the components and the build of the car is poor!!!

Spaceballs
No cons.
A few months ago My wife were leaning towards the purchase of a new 2024 BMW 430 Gran Coupe. We also test drove a loaded 2025 Mercedes C and an premium Audi A5. All very nice German turbo charged cars. The Mercedes was disappointing. Odd gear shift handle location. And weirdly designed seat controls. The Audi was nice but not a BMW. The Beamer had alot of road noise and very high maintenance costs. On a whim, we ventured onto the Meridian Idaho Tesla lot. What a breath of fresh air. No pushy or deceptive salesmen. Straight fwd pricing. We looked at the S PLAID Model...pricey 90K+. We ultimately test drove a Tesla Model 3 AWD long range Performance car. A PLAID JR.;) The interior at first glance seems stark. White. Not to mention the lack of displays, switches and gimmicks. After a 30 minute drive I was sold on this new minimalist tech. Amazing! *Simply awesome is all you need to know about Tesla cats. We bought it after taking a day or two to list pros and cons. Just pros. Bought it! Love the PLAID Model 3 AWD extended range Performance car. Nuttin more betta ...cept for the S PLAID obviously. 😆 Here is what you need to know about the Model 3 PLAID. -Neck breaking speed! 510hp. -Under 3 seconds 0 to 60. -No engine noise and barely decernable road noise. -True sport track suspension and handling. -Amazing stereo system. -Bolstered sport seats. Heated and AC seats. -Rear entertainment display. -Low profile tires and unique custom wheels. -Self driving. -Ergonomic controls and roomy drivers area. -Sentry mode. 1TB or USB storage. -Check out the megaphone and cool horn sounds. Aaaaooooga!!! -$7500 EV discount, $1000 Hero discount , Zero percent interest for 60 mos, and a couple grand more off because we bought a test drive Model off of the lot. I installed a 50amp charging station at my home as well. Quick easy plug in. We use the Tesla supercharger when we travel to Mtn Home. Quick charging. Recommend you carry and EV adapter in order to use non-Tesla EV chargers such as he ones at Walmart and city locations. We also bought a 110v mobile plug in cord which we keep in the trunk if needed. So all in all. The Tesla Performance Model 3 drives and handles far better than the German cars we had considered. No gas bills!!! No oil changes!!! Zero percent interest for 60 mos loan. Warranty is 60 mos/120K miles.
Self driving should make this car worth much more. There wasn't an option to add value to the final price,
After seven years without any problems and love the auto pilot. I just wish mosque would resign. Haven’t had any negatives after 60,000 miles.
Long range, performance, price. Low to no maintenance. Charging stations everywhere.
None
When it comes to performance, range and price, nothing beats the model 3 long range. I bought mine new in 2022 and I love it to this day. The features are amazing and the constant software updates keeps you up to date with the technology and safety out there. Elon is an absolute genius and I support everything he's doing for this country! #DOGE #MAGA
2018 model, cheap, tacky, rattles everywhere- should be a 25k car. Software very responsive but touchscreen is horrible to use when driving.
This car has been excellent to drive and is feature packed. The price point is also affordable and the car gets regular software updates. Most recommended
with full self driving capacity (FSD) excellent condition single owner clean records owned and used highway miles nothing to worry about it.
Comfortable seats, smooth ride, quiet cabin, solid build quality, awesome sound system
None
Have been very impressed with the vehicle so far, just took delivery of a 2024 Performance Model 3 and have never owned a Tesla vehicle before. I come from traditional ICE vehicles, Camrys, Accords, MDX, Corollas, Silverados, and Mustangs. Finally took the plunge into the EV world, very impressed with the build quality, quietness, solidity, and even refinement of this Highland refresh model 3. Only 200 miles so far, time will tell after a few thousand miles charging, highway commute travel will treat this beast. But it is a tame as long as you are smooth on throttle. Cheers to the Grey Ghost!
