2018 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower Electric
1-speed automatic RWD		 Possibly the best part of any Tesla is that over the air updates happen constantly. They fix bugs and add new features to the car. Tesla owners can tweet Elon Musk and ask for more features all of the suggestions so far have been possible due to the fact that Tesla future-proofed their car by including hardware for future features before they roll out as a software update.
Everything in the car is controlled by the screen except the hazards, windows, and seat controls. Even the side mirrors and steering wheel are controlled through the screen, and some of the features can be controlled through the two steering wheel knobs. The way Tesla designed the infotainment system's layout is intuitive, but there are still some actions that drivers need to perform quicker because I feel like I have to take my eyes off the road for one second too long to close a menu. It doesn't seem like there would be a way around this, however.
If you are not tech-savvy, do not buy this car. It isn't hard to use, but there are way to many features on the car that will blow people's minds if you aren't.
The navigation is Google Maps and is probably the best in-dash navigation on the market, especially on this 15" screen. The screen is bright enough in direct sunlight (auto-dimming).
Speaking of sunlight, the roof is all glass except for the small 3" wide support beam that crosses the middle. I was worried that this would be a deal breaker because in SoCal it gets sunny and hot. Fortunately, it is perfectly tinted and is beautiful. It is one of my favorite features in the car.
I opted for Autopilot and despite the crashes you hear in the news, the drivers are never holding the steering wheel. You are supposed to hold the steering wheel. It has worked very well for me, even on a curved 2-lane highway. Tesla is pushing out software updates every few weeks and is decreasing the amount of time you can take your hand off the wheel. I think it is around 15 seconds now.
The amount of technology in the car is probably the best part about it. It feels like more of a gadget than a car, and that is because it is.
