Tesla Referral Code: eric21171
We own a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Midrange, which we bought new for Kayla in 2018. It is the best car we have ever owned. The driving experience, handling, comfort, and sound system are great and the computer software is constantly being updated. I even purchased the FSD for $5,000 when it was on offer early on. The FSD, even though fun to watch, is too gimmicky for us, and we mostly enjoy driving ourselves. We do look forward to the Robo Taxis. It is getting that good.
I cannot see buying another gas-powered motor, I still love my 2013 VW Golf R and enjoy driving it. I do have some service soon and that will be $$$. The Tesla maintenance since 2018 is tires, windshield washer fluid, and the normal car battery failed after 4 years, but it was replaced for free (mobile service) under warranty. We also have a set of 20″ wheels that came for free after winning them during the early referral program. I do not recommend 20″ as the tires have had two flats (performance tires stick like glue to not just the road, but road hazards) and one cracked wheel from a pothole. Stick with 18″.
Do not worry about range anxiety, there are chargers everywhere (California at least)! They seem to be increasing year after year steadily, and the GPS re-routes automatically so if you stare at your charge with anxiety the route will change to a closer station automatically and re-route.
If you are looking at a new or used Tesla, and you find this page, please use my Tesla referral code eric21171 and we both will receive benefits (it changes) either credit, money back/off, and feel free to pass it forward once you do purchase. Here is a link to the current Tesla referral program. I have not driven in another electric, so I can’t compare, just know we love this vehicle and plan on keeping it until some kind of fantastic offer comes around to upgrade to a newer model.
