What Owners are Saying About the 2018 Tesla Model 3
"cost and time to repair is terrible."
"I have a minor dent in the rear quarter panel. Because the sheetmetal is aluminum, the cost to repair--which in this case means replace--is $5000 and the time it takes to have the work done is estimated at 4-6 weeks. Regular body shops can't and/or wont do the work. Otherwise the car is wonderful, but the cost and time to repair is a major problem"
"I'm never looking back"
"This is far and away the BEST vehicle I have ever driven, bar none. A delight to drive and essentially no maintenance. There are reports of some manufacturing errors in past years, but I've had my "3" for a year and so far, for lack of a better term, it is perfect."
"Like No Other Car Available"
"This car is just like the difference between a smart phone and a flip phone. There are way too many differences to list. Honestly we don't know if we will ever be able to by a car that is not a Tesla. Seems like this car is 10 years ahead of all others. We have taken well over 16 long distance trips since we have owned the car. We found we stop less than when we had a gas car. By the time we get out of the car use the restroom we are usually ready to go. The longest trip we took the car on was Tallahassee to Key West. 1,200 miles and we love it. We stopped 3 times to refuel the car. We stopped an additional 2 times to let our toddler stretch. The toddler needs to stop more than the car does. Here are some of the things we love: Instant Torque and Very Very fast Cell Phone as Key Google Maps Games 360 camera monitoring at all times Very low maintenance Very low fuel costs Quiet smooth ride Minimalist Interior At night there is no glare in your eyes from gauges, its very nice Lots of space and the frunk is perfect for our stroller We can refuel at many of the hotels and attractions we visit Software updates have extended our range and our speed Added hitch, can tow up to 2,500 lbs Self Driving features available"
