The Edmunds review noted that the Tesla Model S had great range and performance and that it has a comfortable cabin. Edmunds sold the car after a year of use and putting 30,251 miles on its. The deprecation of the car’s value was 20% of the price paid for it.

While the Tesla Model S has plenty of positives, it also had a list of negatives. This includes a long list of repairs that had to be made to the car, interior amenities that weren’t as nice as other luxury vehicles and the need of a level 2 charger to make the car viable for daily use.

Overall, Edmunds said that the Tesla Model S is a “technologically brilliant luxury sedan” but that it was “hard to recommend” due to all of its problems.
