review

I wanted to give a brief review of my 1 week experience. for context, i have come from driving audis exclusively for ~20 years and i tend to keep them for a long time. 2000 audi s4 2.7L twin turbo (retired after 180k) 2010 audi q5 s-line premium plus 3.2L (retired after 180k) 2012 audi q5...

Thought I'd post some impressions of my first week and a bit of Tesla M3 LR ownership, particularly some of the things I've been surprised by. This will include both good surprises and not so good surprises. Therefore, I want to give the bottom line up front - I bloomin' love this car!! 😍 I know...

Hey guys, I figured I would start a thread to document my journey with this insane speed demon. I’ve had the car for 2 days now. So I was set on the LR version, but after some discussion and thinking I decided to go for the Plaid. It’s a lot of money for a mere 1 second, but frankly I just...

So I’ve had my Model 3 LR for a week now and I’ve done a few miles in it, so I thought I'd share my initial thoughts compared to my F40 BMW M135i that I part-ex’d. Just to note, this is the first Tesla I've ever owned. So yeah, those are my early thoughts on the car. Will see how I get on...

Unusual these days to see a positive review of a Tesla from the G&M. Taking the new Tesla Model Y SUV for a spin on Turo Nice to see it, although I'm expecting some harsh comments forthcoming given the general attitude of the commenters.

Tesla Model 3 – 2 years experience I purchased a 2019 Tesla Model 3 with All Wheel Drive, Long Range Battery, and the Enhanced Autopilot in August of 2019. I sometimes read of Tesla problems, fixes, complaints, geeky tech stuff, and TSLA stock on the Tesla Motor Club weekly posts. I thought...

Tesla Model 3 Performance Review – At 2 Years and Counting! Are We Two Years into a Revolution? It's hard to believe that it's been a full two years since we plunked down what seemed like just a staggering chunk of money for the first of our two Performance dual motor Model 3s in July of 2018...

We've come along ways in the EV industry. Just a few years ago, these guys were more likely to pooh pooh EVs.

Hi all: Saw a previous thread on slow or shady experiences with Taptes. With my new account here I can't reply there so I figured I'd put together of my newly received Taptes Roof Rack. Will follow up as I hear more from Taptes. Summary: ✧✧✧✧✧ 0 Stars! I've been looking for a roof rack I can...

Did a lot of research on these before placing the order yesterday and there were not too many posts or pictures showing and reviewing the seat covers, other than from users who were banned. Creating this as a real user review for anyone who would like to understand if buying a used Tesla with...

SO DISAPPOINTED! Let me start off by saying I am a Tesla fan. I was one of the first to reserve a Model 3, I have Tesla Solar and a Powerwall, and I have accepted all the bugs and build quality issues of my Model 3 as long as Tesla is willing to fix them. Bringing my car into Tesla Service...

Automotive journalist Doug DeMuro, who attracts millions to his auto reviews on YouTube, has posted a thorough overview of the Tesla Model 3. He says the Model 3 is “the coolest car of the year.” Among the observations in DeMuro’s column on the Model 3: Acceleration – DeMuro drove the...

Yesterday's edition of the Wall Street Journal said that automatic braking systems may be dangerous because they may apply brakes when there is no evidence of danger. In other cases, automatic brakes don't stop when there is danger. My SO agrees. She never uses Autopilot because of numerous...

I am one of the first 2000 model 3 owners and when I first got my ride, I knew that I want to lower the ride, soon after I found the moderate spring from unplugged performance and without any hesitation, I placed an order and soon had it installed. it has been a year on the new spring...

Saw this Teslarati article tonight on Sandy Munro and Mark Ellis' (Munro & Associates) Model 3 motor review and it's comparison to the Chevy Bolt, BMW i3 and Jaguar I-Pace. The report is not released yet but quite the glowing summary of it so far, at least as far as the Model 3 goes. Apparently...

So John McElroy from Autoline (where Sandy Munro has appeared a number of times) borrowed a friend's 12/2018 Model 3 for a week while he was on vacation. Short video (about 11 min.) Examines the fit and finish, interior comfort, and uses AutoPilot on the road. The car software version the car is...

I have read countless Model 3 reviews with similar details, so I will try to make this as distinct as possible! Background I am coming from a Mercedes CLA 250 that I drove for 5.5 years/ 67k miles. My wife drives a 2017 Mazda 3 - which we both like for the incredible value for money it is! We...

The feeling waiting for my Model 3 to be delivered is hard to explain. I was excited to receive my first new car, much less a Tesla, but also a little nervous. With only an EV to get around, a lifestyle change was required. So with a mixture of trepidation and sheer joy, I read and watched...

After reading and learning a ton from this forum, I told myself I'd write a review regardless of how today's delivery went. I.e. I wanted to de-bias my review and not only write one if something bad happened. Delivery TLDR: Delivery went well, with a couple minor items, but was easy and fun...

I love the car, it's faster than expected. Solidly built. Intuitive, if you play with the menu screen while it's parked first. Definitely needs a home charging station installed (at least a 240V plug). Here's a detailed review after picking up the 2018 Model 3, and the first 300 miles driven...

Tesla Model 3 Falls Short of a CR Recommendation

I got a lot of info from these forums and I felt I should share my experience w/ the M3. Delivery Sign up: 3/31/16? - line waiter first day Config: 4/15 ISA / VIN: 5/11 Delivery: 5/19 Location: San Diego Black Premium Long Range ISA experience - The guy was nice, but I did not get the final...

I picked up my Model 3 a week ago and shared my first impressions here: Model 3 - 1st impressions (for real this time) Now a week later, I've put on another 300 miles and had a chance to familiarize myself with the car in some other ways. I've also been able to test out Enhanced AutoPilot...

TLDW 1) Yes! 20in Turbines 2) 5.1s 0-60 is conservative, lighter wheels and better tires can improve this. 3) The stock all-season tires perform as you would expect from all-season tires. Understeer bias. UHP tires are an improvement for warm weather driving and balance the performance of the...

There's no such thing as a perfect car, but hands down this is the best car I've ever driven. Sorry this is kinda long. It comes with the good and the bad, but for me, it's mostly good. I'll start out with some common usability gripes. Wiper Operation Coming from a Model S, I couldn't see...

Just posted a new Model S video!! Please let me know what you think of it! Thanks!

I am a Model 3 reservation holder (online 3/31/16). I live in San Jose, CA and neither work for Tesla or already own one. So basically the only thing going for me to get one ASAP is that I'm local to the factory. I recently had the chance to sit inside one at the Stanford Shopping Center in...

Any of you living in the Miami or Orlando area and expecting delivery by end of March: would you mind helping a small EV site do a quick review of your car? Besides being a TMC member and posting here since 2013, I've recently started contributing to a local (Hungarian) EV enthusiast site. I`d...

OK so the other day Andrew Collins posted a request to anyone with a Model 3 to loan it to him to drive and review their car for Jalopnik and offered the person a lunch for their troubles to anyone who stepped up. Well he got his chance already and posted his video/review thanks to Mason McLead...

I'm currently creating a video series to review Tesla's battery technology in detail; the first video is all about the cell and it's format, size and chemistry. I've been lurking on these boards for some time but thought it was about time I signed up, starting posting and hopefully this...

Hi guys, some of you might now that I have a YouTube channel and occaisonally get to test cars. This time I made a video about my own car the 2016 Model S. I am a true petrolhead, love (good) ICEs, but definitely like the Tesla very much as well as you can see in my video.

WSJ is reporting tonight... To be revealed Monday at NAIAS. WSJ: GM to release the $30,000 Chevy Bolt electric vehicle in 2017 finally, the auto industry will produce a competitor to tesla and Model 3!

Disclaimer: I don’t have a Tesla yet, but have a couple of Model 3 reservations and read quite a bit. This is the only destination charger on the island. Charger was sent to them by Tesla They have a nice Café. A bit spending but very good. Nice landscaping – They grow a good deal of...

... with family watching. Pardon the title. :) So, if anyone uses Yahoo Quotes to look at TSLA and also reads the news section, you know that Business Insider comes up frequently in the articles list. And, you also know that Matthew DeBord happens to be the Business Insider transportation...

So way back when for Tesla #1 in 2014, I recall filling out my customer satisfaction survey and lamenting the fact that the Tesla had this gaping opening between the front seats. Anything you put there would shoot forward and backward like professional hockey players on freshly zambonied ice...

After driving my S70D for a few days, I think I finally have enough experience to talk about the UHF sound package. It was one of the hardest decisions I had during my MS ordering process, and I hope this information helps someone pondering this in the future... First of all: That German...

I picked up my X on Tuesday! I'll give my initial impressions below, but first, the point of this post: I understand the key fob for the X is slightly different than the S. I want to get some kind of case or holder to protect it - but I've searched all over online and can only find a case or...

Hi All, For those of you who live or travel through the Netherlands, I have made a short review of the Tesla Superchargers and facilities near by. Hope this information would be helpful. Here is the link: Charger Review

One of the few benefits of crossing the half century mark on your biodometer is that you can save money on high-end sound systems. Elderly ears just can't get those high frequencies anymore, and your bio-signal processing just doesn't seem to work as well as when you were in your 20s. (For...

So, I finally got a chance to do some critical listening to the UHFS upgrade in our MX, so I thought I would share some thoughts. Background: I am an audio-enthusiast (never liked the term audiophile). My main audio rig is an Spectral/Avalon Acoustics set-up, which is sadly crated in the...

This forum was incredibly helpful in helping me decide to go with a Tesla CPO. I wanted to detail my experience so others could learn from it. I have previously bought BMW and Audi CPO’s so that is my reference point in this review. I also am coming from driving a 2013 Nissan LEAF for the past...

In the Hong Kong Drive Electric week 2015 final event at Tamarind, I won third prize. This gave me the possibility to choose the prize of testing a BMW i3 for a weekend. Since it turned out to be Thursday to Monday, it was 4 days of testing, just over 300 km. Two adults and two kids under 2...

It’s been almost a month that I took delivery of my red 70D. It’s an exceptional car and exceeds all my expectations. I am kicking myself for not jumping into it a lot earlier. So to all those folks waiting, do take the plunge and you will not regret it one bit. This is the costliest car I have...

We've been saying it more months! Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Tesla Model S P85D Road Trip – News – Car and Driver | Car and Driver Blog

A very well balanced review of Model S by a Petrol head http://www.testdriven.co.uk/tesla-model-s-video-review/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fVoDfgmvFg I hope everyone enjoys this short video I put together. I can't believe no one else has reported on the surprise capability I discovered in version 6.1 of the System ROM, but I'm glad to be the first!

Marc Priestly of Formula 1 fame reviews a P85: http://eluxemagazine.com/eco-tech/tesla-s-p85/ with comparisons to Formula E and words like "The Model S is a great car, not just a great electric car."

I’ve had a chance to live with the car now for 10 days, take 2 100+ mile round trips and generally, consider how it compares with other nice cars I’ve owned. To give you some perspective, and some context from whence my opinions come, I traded in a Jaguar XJ for the MS, and have most recently...
