Pro - An awesome car, a beautiful design inside and out, and it feels like you are driving a truly modern car designed from the passions of an individual or small group (versus a compromised proposition developed from a marketing committee). Incredible engineering.
Cons- Nothing too much, maybe that in planning to take a road trip you need to plan a bit more for your charging points. For me, the greater involvement makes it interesting, like a game, and I love road trips anyhow.
When you purchase a car from a new and developing manufacturer of small volume, there are typically lots of compromises due to their immaturity as a business and lack of resources in engineering, design, or production. I think other makes like Lotus, Morgan, Fisker, and whatever typically offered products that satisfied their buyers' want for something different or interesting, but oftentimes with real compromises (basic reliability, pieces of the car falling off, lack of service). That's okay as most buyers understand that's the trade-off of supporting a small manufacturer and use the vehicle as a third or fourth car.
Tesla, to me at least, is a marvel in that they created a standard setting vehicle in engineering, safety, design, and reliability at their first attempt of building a car wholly in-house, and then created a support system and supercharging network to break those compromises generally expected of EV ownership.
Every morning that I leave for work, I am still amazed with the wonder of this car. Truly incredible.
