What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Tesla Model S

"The future of automobiles"

"Tesla has managed a momentous achievement by building a new car company in an industry with high barriers to entry. In the process, it has changed the automotive landscape with this exceptional car. Superb handling, unmatched acceleration, advanced technology, comfort, and unrivaled practicality and available in one vehicle. Have owned 50+ vehicles over the years, and nothing compares to the Model S on an overall basis. Time saved by virtually no maintenance and no gas station stops, plus electricity for charging costing less than 10% (averaging with use of superchargers) of premium fuel for comparable vehicles make the vehicle a rational financial decision. My wife bought a P100D, and I was so impressed bought another for myself. Tesla is still losing billions of dollars, but Elon Musk is a brilliant business person with a long-term plan, and is likely to pull this off"

"Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned."

"Easy to travel long distances with the Tesla supercharger network on all major highways and in urban areas, and a lot cheaper to drive than a gas car. No oil changes or routine maintenance, and I still have original brakes in virtually new condition at 86,000 miles due to regenerative braking, saving thousands of dollars in maintenance compared to my gasoline cars. After almost 8 year driving this car, it still looks and drives like new."

"Absolutely an amazing car"

"This is more than a car. This is an amazing piece of technology! Musk has thought of almost everything. Performance, comfort, functionality, eco and so much more! WARNING! Do not drive a Tesla till you are absolutely ready to buy one because once you drive one you will have to have one!"
