The top Two features that we LOVE about it is:
- one pedal driving. Around town you very seldom need to use the brake pedal, raise the accelerator and the regen braking slows the car, even to a stop and actuates brake lights warning cars in back that you’re slowing down. And if it’s timed right you may may not need to brake even coming to a stop at a sign or light. It’s wonderful, relaxing, safe, and recharged for free. Brakes will last a lifetime. Must drive to appreciate. Of course the actual brake pedal is like any other vehicle.
- Over the air updates. Over WiFi typically in the middle of the night in your garage. Provides updated features, some major some minor. Some are fixes… as some feel are recalls. But seamless. So even if you have a 5 year old Tesla, updates are free to all. Almost like getting a new car all the time.
We love the Tesla so much that we bought a great lithium golf cart. All EV family. Charge right in the garage and have a full tank everytime.

I purchase a new Tesla 2024 Model 3 in October of last year for $34,000 to test out the supervised FSD. I now drive about 80% of the time using FSD. FSD will brake for me when needed. It takes a little bit of time to get use to the regen brake to then very, very seldom need to use the brake pedal to stop when not using FSD. With every software update, the FSD gets better and new features are added. Using supervised FSD, it's like two sets of eyes watching the road. If you get a chance, ride in a Tesla being driven under FSD.
