Overall thoughts:
Did I love the car ?
NO.
Would I consider purchasing one ?
YES.
Is it all fun and games ? NO. This is a complicated machine that is incredibly complex. Dismissing is as a "fad" is the dumbest thing one can do. It is a completely different vehicle from before. Tesla revolutionized cars period, to deny that is
There are serious drawbacks such as charging/quality. But they are offset by the batshit performance that you can USE every day.. ALL DAY EVERY DAY YOU CAN MASH THE "E"/GAS pedal and it is a rush like you've never experienced in ANYTHING else.
It's quiet, its safe and its FUN. There is no other vehicle on the planet that does this. (Other than maybe a Taycan).
They are not cheap vehicles either... 90k for the base X or 50k for a base 3 ... but it seems worth it to some extent if you're wiling to trade performance/charging/tech for quality.
The tesla is unmatched in that...
Some hidden features that you may or may not know about:
Century mode: (Lock the car and it turns on)
Tesla records everything around it with 6 + cameras... if someone tries to break into your car... hits it etc. It will record the plates/faces etc AND NOTIFY YOU.
Built in Dash Cam: (while driving)
Driving is recorded from the front/side cameras and you can review the footage in case of an accident.
Not to mention auto pilot which is unmatched... Although I did not like using it.
lots of smart features like pre conditioning of the battery as you're pulling up to the supercharger if it is in your nav.
Remembering where you raised your suspension on the map so that it does it automatically...
etc etc etc
The amount of tech in this car is just mind boggling and it is mostly smart and thought out.
