2018 Tesla Model S - Amazing vehicle.
The Tesla Model 3 with Long Range will easily reach over 300 miles on a charge. I've done many road trips and at around the ~3.5 hours you have to stop and charge usually around 45 minutes. Supposedly that is the biggest drawback about owning an electric vehicle. But that 45 minutes is not even inconvenient. That's about the time it takes to eat and use the restroom anyway. Paired with solar this car is a commuters dream. Drives itself in heavy traffic. Free to drive from home and back. Extremely low maintenance, because of the regenerative breaking the breaks last a ridiculously long time. Tires hold up well if you restrain yourself from accelerating and whooping almost every car on the road on a daily basis. Its the most fun yet most practical vehicle I've ever owned.

Story
A Dodge Charger came up next to the car revving the engine and looking for a race between stoplights. Probably like a tenth of a mile. I made it look like I wasn't interested. However I was closely monitoring the lights. When it went green I shot of the line and made it to the next stop light so far ahead that I'm positive after the first half second the driver realized he wasn't going to stan... (more)
Pros
Software updates. Responsible use of autopilot. Nearly zero maintenance. Plenty of range. Quiet luxury with amazing sports car acceleration and handling. The little details of the software.
Cons
Software updates can mess with settings. Elon Musk's over-promising features. The registration cost seems oddly high. Not just for a new vehicle, but I think it has to do with not having to pay gas taxes which are used for roads and such.
2018 Tesla Model S - It's a good vehicle with good performance.
Well, it's a fully electric car – Tesla doesn’t do petrols, diesels or even hybrids – and it’s the brand’s smallest model to date, sitting below the Model X SUV and the Model S luxury saloon. It’s roughly the same size as the BMW 3 Series and there are three versions to choose from: an entry-level model called the Standard Range Plus, a Long Range model designed to maximize distances between charges, and a range-topping Performance variant that promises Porsche 911-beating acceleration.
Story
It was memorable because it was the first time I had the opportunity to do something I have always craved doing. I wish I had done it when I was much younger. I drove alone through places, I think from memory I stayed overnight. It was awesome because I felt free.
Pros
Less time spent servicing. Less time spent fueling. Less stressful to drive.
Cons
Expensive.
