Living the Tesla life

Tess arrived on a beautiful sunny day in December 2018. Now, 25,000+ miles later, I think I can pen down a few words about what it has been like living with the Tesla Model 3. Allow me to break it up into three simple categories – The Good, The Great, and The Glorious. If you are looking for something unbiased, maybe even a hard hitting review – tough luck.  The Good: The overall reported safety features of the car (Best in class), I would say, was the primary reason I made the commitment. The fact that it is greener and in all likelihood, leaves at least one more tree for me to hug, is a huge plus, not to mention the feel good factor.  There is a learning curve, I’d say, more accurately an unlearning curve, associated with owning a Model 3. Tess is quiet, has no dashboard, no key, different kind of door handles, and what you save in fuel costs, you lose in therapy sessions to help cope with a certain amount of “range anxiety.”  Tess has what others have described as a minimalistic design. I would imagine these guys perhaps like their Poha with cashews, dates, gulkand, pistachios, and gold leaves.
