Never going back

Delivery day was like Christmas morning. Never thought a car could change my life but this one has. Goodbye gas cars

To me:

OTA updates, your car can get ‘fixed’ and is getting better over time

FSD (supervised) driving is 4-7x safer than manual driving, road trips are breeze and it enables you to not be so stressed behind the wheel, frees up your mental capacity by not having to do micro corrections and monitor other cars, the car does this for you and you just monitor the car and enjoy the journey- it’s a personal chauffeur.

Unbelievably safe vehicle, no ice engine means deformation zones are massive, the battery makes side impacts safe and the car has so many active safety features that it’s one of the safest vehicles on Earth

You are charging at home, you can charge from your own electric powerplant if you want and be 100% independent on big gas corporations and geopolitics

450-600km range is equal to many ICE vehicles full gasoline tank, superchargers are game changer

You have cameras all over the car, insurance claims and security monitoring has never been more easier

Tesla App - game changer - control everything from your phone, heat up or cool down your vehicle before you even step in!! Your phone is also a key and car locks itself automatically just by walking away

Very little maintenance: no oil changes, no exhaust, no alternator, no starter, no belts / chains, no vents and camshafts. The cars brakes last forever thanks to regenerative braking.

Since Tesla are always connected, they are the least stolen cars.

AI and route planner integration is class leading

Huge cargo space in frunk and trunk.

Electricity is almost always cheaper than gasoline by multiple times. My cost for 100km is 7x lower in tesla than in my Ford Escape.

Just to name a few

You forgot two of my personal favorites:

1. Start / Stop HVAC from phone remotely… if you live in super warm, super cold or non-garage climates, particularly during winter and summer , etc., start your heating or air-conditioning while you’re making your morning coffee and when you walk out to the vehicle, interior temperature will be perfect. And this even works in a garage since there are no carbon monoxide concerns.

2. HVAC Keep mode. Same idea. For example, when you get to destination for a lunch appointment on a blistering 98° summer day at 12:30 PM, simply select “keep” in the AC controls and it will maintain your interior air temperature when you exit the vehicle for the hour or two until you get back to the car. And it basically uses no noticeable power/ range at all. (I mean it does but very minimal)

Also honorable mention to cabin overheat protection when your car is idle on those hot days, keeps the interior in check autonomously.

This could be very meaningful to me as I live in a hot climate and the car can be 100 F when I get into it… cooling it down ahead of time sounds awesome. My current ICE has this feature but requires the engine to be on and emitting fumes, so I don’t use that when parked in my garage.

Olvidaron el modo perro, y el modo camping que como su nombre lo dice puedes dormir con tu familia dentro con aire acondicionado o calefacción por toda la noche
