Well thats good feedback. Did you buy it new?

Yeah bought it new, 2018 Model 3 LR AWD. Came with Enhanced Autopilot. Early enough that prices hadn't finished dropping yet from production optimization, if I had waited about 6 months I could have gotten a Performance model for the same price.

The car is great, I haven't had any major issues with it. Almost no maintenance. Tires don't last the full rated mileage, but most manufacturers offer a prorated reimbursement, so taking that into account they aren't that much more expensive than I paid for quality tires on my old Civic before.

Costs me less than $30/mo in electricity charging at home. Charge to 80% every night for daily usage, 100% before trips. Supercharge only when needed. The battery has no noticeable degradation with daily usage, but I haven't done an exhaustive test.
