    We are only at 37 years but my wife got herself a Model 3 LR as a gift. I guess we will have to get her a CyberTruck for the 40th.

    Does anyone have trouble in cold weather with the mirrors not fully deploying? A few times I had to fold them and unfold them. Ice?

    I saw a a funny last week. A young guy in a souped up Camaro pulls up to the light right in front of me, racing stripes and a hot girlfriend in the passenger seat. A black model S pulls up next to him. Camaro starts Reving his engine, light turns, Tesla gives him about 10 feet and then smokes him bad. Pretty funny

    I’ve had my Model S for 7 years now and I still love driving it. It’s just so smooth and quiet. One-pedal driving with instant power and regenerative braking is simply awesome and makes the car feel like an extension of your body. Charging is a non issue; in fact, it’s much easier and faster than going to the gas station. It takes me 3 seconds to plug in the car at night. Done.


    Even today, my 2012 P85 feels like the car of the future, so it’s hard to understand why so many people still buy ICE cars even when they could easily afford a Tesla or some other EV.

    I rent mine out on Turo in the weeks I know it’s won’t be used as much. Only have rented it out 3 times so far but I payed off my first month of payments and had a really positive experience each time. If you’re ever in the jersey city area feel free to rent mine Hahahah. It’s also a blast to get great feedback on your car and watch people fall in love with Teslas

    I was just about to say... the other day was stopped at a light with a 3 next to me in my S. Was tempted to treat the people behind us to a front row seat to an epic jump start but since I've never done it even with ice cars decided to take it nice and easy like I always do. ;)

    Feel exactly the same except hubby has the ice suv. This wife loves her daily commute even in heavy LA traffic. :)

    Loving reading all the comments on this thread. Picking my LRAWD Model 3 up tomorrow at 1pm. Test drive blew me away, couldn’t get the car out of my head. Can’t wait to be grinning ear to ear on the daily driving this masterpiece of design and technology!

    I'm 61 but in my 3 I feel like I'm 16 again (when I was 16 I used my moms beat up Plymouth Fury III to smoke the local jock in his new Barracuda). Love it!:)

    Love my car, got talked into a stealth performance by the dealer (if they are even dealerships). So glad he did, i don’t usually go fast, love the 30-70 acceleration getting into highways. Only had one person want to challenge in a Nissan GT-R, red light to red light maybe 1/8 mile slightly more. No chance at all. I was stopped and waiting before he got there. I know he would have overtaken me if it were longer. It’s just so much fun, my wife shrieks everytime we take off. What a perfect ass car

    What’s crazy is the feeling doesn’t go away. Especially with updates. It’s so ahead of the curb, and such a fun ride, it’s always a reminder you made the right choice.

    now...driving an ICE after owning one of these? That’s painful.

    Funnily enough, I too had a lights experience this evening. The young lad next to me was itching to get off the line and hit the bend ahead first. I don't even think it was about anyone else - just something he needed to do.

    As the lights changed, I looked in the mirror to see that he had moved off the starting line - just!

    I love driving mine too! For all the complaining I do about various little things that bug me, I really love this car! I have never been a car person, as long as it got me from point A to point B it was good, but now I hold all other cars to the experience in my Tesla. Just love it!

    If you have a Performance Model 3, I don't see how you could have lost to an RS7.

    you can't drive sex, normally, but nonetheless your comment makes no sense.
