What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
Wanted an EV that had a decent range, high performance, high spec and would hold its value.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
Blown away. Exceeded expectations considerably. On line ordering was easy with no hassle collection. Performance, range and acceleration of the single motor RWD model more than adequate. Outstanding sound system, autopilot, free remote upgrades, an app that allows you to monitor cameras and cool the car in advance just a few of the features we love. With NO annual service required and low running cost compared with our ICE vehicle we would never get a hybrid or go back to a petrol or diesel. We love driving it and know we will save thousands a year with high resale value. Guess this is why it is the worlds top selling EV.
What have you discovered since owning the car?
Keep discovering features and shortcuts that appear after free over the air software upgrades. Range is better than expected and accurately estimated when you plan a trip
What do you like/dislike about the car?
Like the huge storage base in the frunk and trunk. Love the central screen controls and software. There is nothing we dislike
Any other comments on the car?
Some still find excuses not to buy an EV. With a Tesla there are charging locations all over NZ and the battery storage will outlast the car

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?
Yes
Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?
Would buy again as best value for money and resale. Would buy again unless a new Tesla model comes out that is preferable
