First-time Tesla owner shares what shocked him the most after owning the car for a year: 'The more I drive this car…'

We got an exclusive look at a first-time Tesla owner's experience after driving his brand-new Model S for 12 months straight. And let us tell you, it's been quite a ride!

Alice and Tom, a couple from California, recently sat down with our team to share their thoughts on what it's really like to own a Tesla.

Here are the top things they had to say:

  • The seamless user experience: "The interface is so intuitive," Tom said. "I was able to figure out all the features within a day or two."
  • Supercharging costs more than expected: "We thought we'd be able to charge up on the go without breaking the bank, but it's actually added up pretty quickly," Alice admitted.
  • Parking can get frustrating: "The lack of standard charging ports in some areas has been a real challenge for us," Tom noted. "We've had to rely on public charging stations more often than we thought."

One of the biggest surprises, however, was how much they've grown accustomed to the car's various features.

"The more I drive this car, the less I notice the Autopilot," Tom joked. "It's become second nature."

We couldn't help but wonder if a high-end audio system would make a difference in their driving experience. Check out our Morel Maximo 6 MK11 Car Audio System – it's designed to deliver superior sound quality that'll leave you wanting more.
