Best Tesla Car 2023

ORIGINAL POST

I often see people say that their Tesla is the best car that they have ever owned which makes me wonder what they are benchmarking against. My experience with Tesla is extremely limited so I cannot form an opinion about the quality of their cars (I have been in a handful of high mileage Teslas via Uber). I currently drive a Toyota, which has been a great vehicle, but when I compare it with my last car, which was a Porsche - it doesn't measure up very well. So for those who say their Tesla is the best car they have ever owned, what are you benchmarking against?

I thought my 2021 S was “the best car.” And I thought my 3 before it was right up there as well. It’s an intoxicating mix of it being one’s first electric, the best acceleration ever owned, great tech with ota updates, autopilot being great for highway driving, supercharger network working well for long trips and zero maintenance. Then, after 6ish years of Tesla ownership, there was an immediate sale following a sig heil. Turns out the new BMW plug-in hybrid is now “the best car” ever. Soooo much goddamn better than the S. Better made in every aspect. The tech is amazing and it drives like a dream (inc an autopilot equivalent). We were delusional and at the teet of Tesla. Thankfully, Elmo nazied and woke many of us up.

I prefer this sub to the nauseating cultishness of the main Tesla subs, but this sub can jump on the opposite bandwagon too sometimes. Now that it's clear that buying a Tesla is contributing to the end of democracy and the empowering of Nazis, Tesla can't be considered a serious option anymore. But this sub can get too high on it's own supply and overlook many things the company did right and why it was so popular before. Other car companies need to learn from it.

The charging network is unparalleled. Anyone who thinks this is a minor concern has never really considered living in an EV-only household. The only reason other EVs are viable for many is still reliant on Tesla, namely using their network. It's infuriating that nobody is trying to build a network to rival them. Tesla can kill access to its network at any time. I wouldn't put it past their vindictive manchild CEO.

A lot of comparisons here aren't equivalent. A hybrid does not replace an EV. You're paying for two drivetrains which is just inefficient, adding cost and complexity for something that can't directly compete with a pure gas or EV option in many ways. An EV can go 300 miles on electric power with exceptional acceleration and at low operating cost. Hybrid batteries cannot compete on range, not even close, and battery management (which leads to battery longevity) just isn't the same on hybrids. The BMW hybrid starts at $47k for a sedan, and the SUVs are over $70k. And that's before the reality that getting MSRP through a dealership model is a nightmare that normally adds thousands to the actual price and is just a miserable experience.

Autopilot, for all its flaws, can pretty much always be used. No dealers. The peerless charging network. Pricing is generally quite good for an EV with good range and high efficiency without sacrificing performance. The price you see is the price you pay. Many comparison cars here are in a different pricing segment and not directly applicable.

Tesla is a sleazy company that enables the end of our way of life. It must be stopped. But gloating about how there is no there there in the Tesla ownership experience is missing the many lessons to learn from the company's history.

But none of what you said (aside from autopilot) has anything to do with the car itself. Not the way it handles, drives, performs, cabin noise, comfort, build quality, none of that.

You could say "its a good EV because the support it receives is good", but what about the car itself would make it the best car they've owned?

My hunch is that most people who ended up in a tesla were people driving slow commuter cars so finally jumping in to an okay car with nice acceleration and power was mind blowing to them.

The first EV you drive will always be the best car you've ever driven. The next EV you ever drive will also be the best car you've ever driven, because you have a new benchmark.

>The first EV you drive will always be the best car you've ever driven.

I get where you're going with that, but man, that's an oversimplification. My first EV was a Chevy Bolt. I loved that car! It was perfect for what I needed it for, and the deal I got on it was outstanding. But it was not a better car than the BMW M car I traded in.

The Model Y my wife got next was nicer than the Bolt in some ways but not better in build quality or the service experience.

This is 100% true for me

Telsa was the best "car" not most fun or nicest etc, but Dog mode, remote AC guilt free, no gas stations, autopilot etc.

then Taycan GTS was the best car by a long shot -- again not the most fun, but damn that car is nice

I swear to you, after driving various teslas that my freaking KIA EV6 is better than the lot.

It is just a reflection of how good EVs can be. Yes, the teslas were better when they hit the road, but Elmo wasted his advantage on the wankpanzer, the FSD illusion, robotaxis and now attempting to turn the us into some weird nazi germany/ apartheid SA hybrid. Fuck him and fuck Tesla.

We drove Tesla intending to buy one back in 2018. I've owned a LOT of different makes/models/levels of cars topping out at the BMW level. More typically Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura with a few GM and others sprinkled in. When we drove the Tesla (which listed for over $50K at the time) my immediate reaction was that the tech was excellent, but the car felt like a Kia/Mazda level car. Cheap materials inside, and the whole "simple" aesthetic just struck me as lazy. No way was it worth more than we paid for a BMW 5 series several years before. It didn't even feel as well made as a Honda Civic.

We went on to buy an Acura MDX sport hybrid that I'm just now selling after 125K miles and near zero issues. I'm selling it because a year ago we bought a 2022 Audi eTron. As has been mentioned - best car I've ever owned!!!

I'm seeing the term "death spiral" used to describe Tesla in the financial world at the moment. What happens when your mediocre car company whose value was based on a cult of personality finds out the personality is toxic? I think we're about to find out.

Tesla is best car I agree but they do have worst service. Their insurance is bad and there collision repair is bad. I don’t know why they are concentrating on new sales instead of people actually bought vehicles.

Although not cheap, I’ve had good service from Audi dealers pretty consistently. But since they make money from service and there’s local dealer competition, that probably helps. There isn’t yet enough competition for Tesla to give AF about service. The people in Tesla who cared about service left a decade ago and those who are left are Elon evangelists.

To some extent it'll vary by dealership for other brands.

The other Chevy dealership here will never get any of my business though because they're some stuck-up assholes and it's owned by this idiot that refuses to sell EVs. Really just depends on the ownership.

Io avevo l'esigenza di auto spaziosa per 4, faccio pochi viaggi ma quando li faccio voglio stare comodo. Volevo una Tesla usata (il nuovo aveva tassi assurdi) ma le uniche con prezzo decente mi sono sfuggite, una di mezza giornata praticamente 😢

Per farla breve, la migliore piattaforma non cinese per me è la MEB di Volkswagen; in particolare il famoso motore AP550 è fantastico: 210KW, 550Nm di coppia e non consuma neanche tanto.

Credo che ad oggi lo trovi nella ID4, nella ID5, e nelle Ford Capri ed Explorer. Io ho preso quest'ultima sfruttando il tasso zero, ce l'ho da poco (ritirata a Pasqua) ma sono davvero contento fino ad ora

Edit: ovviamente ho dimenticato anche le altre auto del gruppo che potrebbero avere la stessa piattaforma in alcuni modelli, in particolare Skoda e Cupra.

Ecco perché sta facendo tanto rumore il nuovo propulsore Volkswagen APP550, un gruppo motore-cambio (e-axle) sincrono a magneti permanenti montato sul retrotreno dei modelli basati sulla piattaforma MEB di VW.

+40% di potenza, +77% di coppia rispetto al vecchio APP310 (150 kW/310 Nm) a ingombri invariati.
Nuovo statore “hair-pin” con più rame e magneti più forti.
Inverter VW di nuova generazione: eroga correnti di picco più alte e gestisce tutto il recupero energia.
Raffreddamento senza pompa olio elettrica: l’olio viene spruzzato dagli ingranaggi e poi scambiato con il circuito acqua; la camicia del statore ha un proprio dissipatore.
Fino al 50% di consumo in meno a pari potenza rispetto al vecchio 150 kW, portando l’ID.7 sotto i 14 kWh/100 km WLTP.

Viene assemblato con riduttore e inverter nello stabilimento VW di Kassel, ad oggi l’hub europeo per tutti i drive-unit elettrici della famiglia ID.

Ecco dove trovi l’APP550 da 210 kW / 550 Nm.

Volkswagen

ID.7 / ID.7 Tourer
ID.4 & ID.5 (restyling MY 2024)
ID.3 GTX / GTX Performance
ID. Buzz GTX

Audi

Q4 e-tron & Q4 Sportback (MY 2024)

Škoda

Enyaq 85 / 85x / RS (2024-25)
Elroq 85 / 85x

CUPRA

Tavascan Endurance RWD
Tavascan VZ AWD

Ford

Ford Europa ha comprato la piattaforma MEB “chiavi in mano”: telaio, batterie e motore posteriore.

Explorer Extended-Range
Capri Extended-Range

In sintesi: non è un "motore" tradizionale ma il più recente cuore elettrico Volkswagen: 210 kW, 550 Nm, efficienza record e dimensioni compatte. Perfetto per tirarti fuori scatti da hot-hatch con zero benzina bruciata.

What cars can I buy with the money of a Tesla Model 3? Help with deciding

Posted by alberto2008_ · in r/whatcarshouldIbuy · 6 years ago

Hello! Hope someone can give me their opinion or an advice

I am looking for a car and I am seriously considering a Tesla Model 3 AWD, I have even done the reservation

I am not a petrolhead neither someone who "loves" driving, In a car I would rather prefer technology and confort rather than horsepower. My first option was an Alfa Romeo Giulietta, the hatchback, which was in a very very appealing price thanks to an offer from the dealership. I was in love with the car, everything was awesome, I love its exterior design and its interior is super fancy, but, as you may know the technology isn't Alfa's strength.

Naturally, I started looking into other option to compare. I went to BMW to see the 1 Series, I liked the hatchback but I think the Alfa was better, but the dealership offered me a very very good discount in the 1 Series Sedan, 23,000 USD. I considered it thoroughly since it is a good price and has more technology than Alfa, but it is RWD, that is something I don't care too much actually, but BMW typically uses RWD, so, I wasn't technically buying a BMW (which btw is made in China). My other options were A3 and A Class, MBUX was great.

But then, I saw a Tesla and started investigating and I fell in love with all its characteristics and technological features. Now I am kinda worried because I don't know if I am making a good decision, how good the Tesla actually is in comparison with its "competitors". I mean, with the price of a Tesla I could buy a 3 Series, C Class or A4. I don't know if I am making a good decision and I am worried I am doing something more passional than intelligent.

Whats your opinion? Thanks for reading me!

I know a few people with a Model 3. They all love them. There are a bunch of new EVs coming out in 2020 and 2021. But, nobody has the charging network of Tesla. Tesla is an incredible company, but I wouldn't say that I think they are that much better than any other EV. They have good tech, and they are first to market. So, if you want to compare Tesla to it's competitors, you're going to need to wait for a few years.

All that said, my buddy just bought a BMW i3. It's clearly not as nice as the Tesla. But it's still a really cool car. That's not to say you should look at the i3. Just that many more EVs are coming and coming fast.

In terms of the passion vs intelligent comment. Do your research. Drive the ones you like. Make sure you buy the car you love, not the one you like. The model 3 is an awesome car. Have fun shopping

Picked up my first ever Tesla on Monday, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it so far! This car is absolutely gorgeous.

I test drove your car back-to-back with the Performance version and actually found very little difference.

If I'd never driven the M3P I'd have been VERY impressed with your version. And frankly, your version accelerates fast enough for all but the most power-hungry.

P.S. I'm getting the M3P. LMAO

P.S. #2 - CONGRATULATIONS !!! Enjoy.

Looks great. For anyone who’s leased before, can you switch to leasing even when your car has been delivered and you have been approved for financing? Not sure if Tesla allows that, but I’m on the border on whether leasing would be a better option due to being a first time buyer, unsure of future policies regarding EVs, and technology always updating hastily.

Yes, you’re right about that. It has its advantages, but the cost overall will be higher as you continue to lease. I have ordered a new model 3 and it’s currently waiting for pickup while I sort out the downpayment. I just have concerns as a new EV owner when it comes to depreciation, degradation, etc.
