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!!!

I love this car! I’ve had it for 3 years, I put about 5000 miles a year on it and I replaced the tires because I had one bad tire and wanted new ones. The best vehicle that I’ve ever owned. It’s fast and smooth. My only complaint is that it’s black and shows scratches up close but it look good.

I’d only recommend the Performance version to someone who knows how to keep their distance—this Model 3 Performance is an absolute beast on the road.
cost, performance and low maintenance
none so far
Secord Tesla Model 3 I've had, performance is the best and low cost too. 1/3 of the cost of gas vehicles and very low maintenance.
What an awesome driving experience. Bought new Model 3 dual in August 2019. Charging station installed in my garage. Perfect woman’s vehicle. Charging easy. Had to have 12volt battery installed but did not go to dealership.. locally done.. no big deal. 58,084 miles in March 2026. I would like a new model but updates keep it running smoothly with new tweaks. Once you have owned and driven one….its an easy decision to buy again…
Love it. From day zero before I bought it, to 2.5 years later. Still love seeing it from afar, walking up to it, sitting inside, and driving it. Or having it drive me with FSD lol. It feels like the future to this day. I got it new and had a 30 day free trial of FSD, I decided I’d try going without FSD for another 30 days and then decide if I want to get it. After 3 days without FSD it didn’t feel as futuristic so I just bought it. If you’re a techie person, love smartphones and consumer technology, you’ll probably love Tesla. It’s like an iPhone on wheels.
Performance, Styling, and Comfort
Haven't found any
Sexy, fast, beast. I'm in love with this car. 2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance with 25,000 miles and it looks and drives like a brand new car. Incredible. Most fun car I have ever owned.
This car is amazing! The speed, quiet, roomy, entertainment center is perfect. They alway put updates out at night so sometimes you wake up to cool new features.
Battery failed under warranty at 41000 miles. Other than that, love the car and planning on buying another one. Not planning on keeping it past the factory warranty until Battery replacement cost comes down more.
