The 2012 Tesla Roadster retained the sleek and sporty design of the original Roadster, featuring a two-seater, open-top body style.

6. Battery Pack and Technology:

The Roadster's battery pack is situated in the vehicle's floor, contributing to a low center of gravity and improved handling.

I was at a complete stop awaiting the traffic light to go from red to green when a Range Rover SUV slammed into my back end doing between 50-60 mph. She told the police "I just wasn't paying attention." Needless to say, my Tesla Model 3 was totaled. Her vehicle drove what was left of my trunk all the way into my back seat. My only injuries are minor - bruised hands from the impact of the airbags. Even the insurance adjustor commented on how the impact must have been tremendous. Extremely grateful to Tesla for building such a safe car.

Mobile Service TESLA Tech, Elias, was BEYOND Amazing, Super friendly, knowledgeable, patient and dedicated. He seemed to love TESLA as much as I do!! My Model 3, Elektra, was initially serviced at the Syosset service center for minor cosmetic work. Service was satisfactory. However, part of the work done was unsatisfactory. I asked for my next appointment to be made with Mobile Service. Best decision! Elias happily, carefully and competently fixed my issues, realigning tail light and charger door. He also made sure to thoroughly answer all of my questions and I had a lot! I HIGHLY recommend scheduling your next service appointment with Mobile Service. If you're on Long Island, hopefully you'll get Elias! Hope you found this review helpful! P.S. He even told me Elektra's birthday, March 19, 2019!!!

We just bought a Tesla Model 3 by delivery service to our home. However, the person who delivered the car was so rush and did not help us much to know the car's function. On the second day, we decided to drive the car to the Tesla Centre in Dublin CA, because there was charging problem with our exist home charging system, and many questions about auto parking and auto driving etc. Fortunately, we met Suzanne in the sale department of centre. She was very warm and tried hard to solve the charging problem, and also patiently show us how to use the auto parking functions and to teach us the auto driving on freeway. Previously, we read many negative reviews about Tesla service. Thus, we did not expect such helpful person in the Tesla Centre. I would not hesitate to recommend my friends to buy Tesla from the Dublin Centre in the future.

Updated on 10/05/2020: This is my second review (first was on December 2019) for the same car after a one year of ownership. The Model X has been great as a car and did not upset me at all. There are three things that need improvement though:First, the falcon doors are a bit problematic. They may malfunction very rarely by not fully opening. They are also a bit unsafe from user perspective because they sometimes close on their own when people are getting in or out. When this happened the proximity alarm always kicked in and stopped the door just before hitting the passenger yet this is not nice at all. A greater risk is when the rear passenger exits 10 seconds before the front passenger and closes the falcon door. Think in slow motion please: The front passenger is stepping out when the falcon door is fully open and when the front passenger whose feet are on the ground starts standing up then his/her head may be just inches away from the closing falcon door! This happened to my kid who luckily did not hit her head. I am hoping Tesla would fix or get rid of these doors. Second, Tesla is rather hard to reach for service. There is none to call so you must use your app to schedule a rdv. Third, there was a safety issue. We once managed to call Tesla to schedule an annual servicing but they told us we needed no such inspections because the car was low-maintenance and it would let us know the service time when it is needed. However, a tiny accident required a visit to a garage and there we were told our tires (one year old Michelins at 10,800 km) were unsafe to drive and had to be replaced asap. Had Tesla scheduled an annual servicing, I would have known about this. It means there may be Teslas driving around with unsafe tires. We then sent a message to Tesla to ask for the guarantee on the tires but did not hear back. This "servicing and guarantee by messaging" thing is not so good and may make people sell their Teslas. Right now I see no alternative to my Model X though. I was curious about the Mercedes EQC but it appears to me Tesla is clearly in a higher league. When you drive a Tesla you are at the top so this brings a lack of alternatives and you become dependent on Tesla, at least I do because it is so much better than other cars. One can ask how come a Tesla beat a Bentley but the answer is simple, an EV is a far superior platform to an ICEV. On top of it, Tesla has mastered the use of tech so any comparison (we shall see Lucid Air soon) is not even close. Would you buy a gold plated ericsson or an iphone? Tesla is the smartphone of cars -and I am sad to say this- all competition is at brick-style mobile phone stage.I have extensively used the autosteering function and it was always very good, it braked once but this was an error on the safe side. I am a strong believer in autonomous cars because I can see how dramatically they will improve the world by reducing accidents and road rage, empowering people and just making life better. Once I forgot the key inside the car when the car was parked at the school and I did not feel unsafe because my car is pincode protected. The autospeed feature is so great, you leave the throttle to the car and just focus on steering and the car will slow down and stop and then continue when necessary, a perfect feature for cities. I have become so spoilt that I could imagine things like the car polishing my shoes as I drive or I am chatting with my car about people and I ask the car advice on certain people and events. Tesla literally makes me live in the future of autos so please tell me how will I travel back in time and ride a horse carriage? Indeed we were thinking about buying a performance Model 3 as our second Tesla but we will wait until we are sure that Tesla can service our Model X. Tesla builds awesome cars, they are literally in the league they created and they innovatively dominate the entire auto industry who is still struggling with archaic practices. But servicing is Tesla's weakness.Original Review: Tesla Model X, more Maglev than a Car. I live in France and our Model X is my 23rd car as our large family always had multiple cars. I initially did not want to buy a Tesla because of (-) media coverage and Musk's various unprofessional comments. I ordered a Volvo XC90 hybrid that Volvo failed to deliver on time so having multiple kids we desperately needed a family vehicle. I had test-driven most 7 seaters including Citroen C4 Picasso, Ford S-Max, Renault Espace/Grand Scenic. Having owned a 7 seater LR Discovery in a different country and not liking this car, I went to the Tesla showroom as a last resort and took a test drive because ... I had nothing to lose. The test drive dropped my jaw as the Model X was simply fantastic so we ordered one. I had multiple questions and some worries about buying an electric car such as the charging concept and whether Tesla would be a reliable car. Thus I first bought a used Ford S-Max as a backup/utility car that our gardener also drives around and afterwards I ordered a Model X. I would rather prefer to buy a used Model X but I could not find any reasonably priced Model Xs, all were rather expensive indicating a significant demand. My Model X was delivered in Aix-en-Provence on 27 September so the car is still pretty much new. My review is limited to the first two months of ownership and it is not a long term, multi-year review. I would gladly rank my Model X much higher than any cars I have owned. My rating would be 20 out of 10.The car is astonishing. Let me tell you why:1. The design philosophy is totally original so the interior but especially the front panel is super coolly designed. The car is probably the best ever UX design among any car, any time. I would definitely rate my Model X as the "Best vehicle UX design of all-times".2. The car has far superior performance and range. I was worried about how and where to get the car recharged and so on but these have been no issues. The driving is super cool, silent and feels like you are floating. This car is so advanced that I feel I have my own silent, super fast and comfortable "magnetic levitation" maglev train. I often see Bentleys and Rolls Royce's in Cannes and I feel sad for the owners for spending so much money into those dinosaur vehicles.3. Tesla has no dealers and you buy directly from the company. There is no haggling or the act of being sold unnecessary accessories at high costs.4. As you probably know, Tesla cars are awarded the highest safety ratings of any cars, ever built. In France, it is legal to use autosteer on highways and I regularly use this feature with my kids in the car. No one has ever honked at me so far. It has been almost perfect. The autosteering once made an error on the safe side. It braked slightly when I saw no need for it. Autosteering is great not only at high speeds but especially during very slow traffic.5. The car is expected to have much less maintenance work than ICE cars. Time will show. 6. Tesla has given me good after-sales support. They called me directly to ask if all was fine and I could reach them directly if I have any needs.7. If you love even a bit of tech, Tesla will make you so happy. The car is tech-wise perfect and offers multiple jaw-dropping features. I have a pin code so my kids can’t accidentally drive the car. If I lose my key, I can start the car with my mobile phone. I can choose how many amperes to charge my car with. The car even has a ‘biological attack protection feature’ explained on its website. Tesla says Model X is “hundreds of times better” than other cars in terms of its ventilation system so they were curious if the car would protect against a military biological attack. So they test it and found that it really does due to the super quality ventilation system. Your Tesla can open and close its doors without you touching them… if you want. This car is the epitome of tech and still it succeeds in giving you a perfectly usable UX with so easy menus. There is so much offered tech wise with zero frustration.My Model X is two-generations ahead of any other vehicles including my old 2017 Land Rover Discovery. One extra remark, we did not have any problems but still feel a bit cautious about the falcon doors that are rather easy to use especially in tight spaces. Many public garages in France have low ceilings so it is not very easy to use these doors. My overall two-month experience has been fabulous. I have one simple suggestion to potential owners: Have your own test drive and see for yourself. Be cautious with the media coverage. I am grateful to Volvo for delaying their delivery by two months and making me a Tesla owner. Thank you all at Tesla, you have literally created the future of the automobile. Just for information purposes, Tesla has no automobile competitors. Its next target should be to beat the MagLev train :-)

The ordering process was extremely easy and convenient since it only took a few minutes. Once the vehicle was ready I scheduled an appointment and once I arrived I was able to sign a few documents and in 20 minutes I was done. The car has performed amazingly and I would gladly purchase another Tesla.

My Tesla is a dream come true! My dog & I recently returned from a cross country road trip. It was such a joy to drive & cost $0 to operate. I felt safer than I ever have. (I have always been anxious pulling into a gas station by myself.) I have no regrets in buying my Tesla and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Incredible simplicity to drive-train: direct drive battery-to-motor, no gearing.! Fast, responsive and generally smooth ride. The body fit is suspect perhaps - not up to German & Japanese quality. Lifetime charging is a winner!!

We have an earlier production model VIN 72XX and have been quite pleased with it. We did have an issue with the glove box popping open but a quick visit by a mobile technician fixed that. Very easy and painless process.
