So, we have 2 Tesla. I have a Model S Performance and my wife just got a 21 Model 3 a couple days before Christmas. She got a Tesla because of my Tesla. I can't speak to others reliability, but in 60K miles, I've had spent zero on my car besides electricity cost. Its been to the shop once for a computer update and that cost nothing. I still look forward to driving it everyday and it really has been nothing but a pleasurable driving experience. People say ludicrous mode gets boring, guess I haven't gotten there yet. Being an owner, with my eyes wide open, I'm seriously thinking about trading in for a new model S plaid+.
The Model 3 is a nice car, definitely different from the S. Same things I like, others not so much. It definitely is louder inside then my S. But it its a nice size and so far my wife really enjoys it..
