Best car I have ever owned
Not great fit and finish even in my 2017 model - but nothing major.
Incredibly fun to drive
Incredibly easy to maintain (less to go wrong...)
No wasted time at gas stations - just get in and go (how much is your time worth?)
Safety features great

The easy but somewhat fair criticism is you are paying 45% for the car, 45% for the battery and 10% for the computer.   The reality is the user experience is worth multiples of what the car costs when you compare to all the alternatives

I'll never buy a gas powered car again.

Pretty much agree on all of this. If you want an electric car today, Tesla is the leader. Others are catching up - check back again in 2 years.[/quote]
Disagree after test-driving several.

I also think that they are incredibly cavalier about human-factors safety issues. The lack of behind-the-wheel dials in the Model 3 is criminal relative to everything I was ever taught about cognition in human drivers. And the way they aggressively push their misnamed "Autopilot" despite several known issues is dangerous. In the US, it's hard to know how things will play out legally since our legal system is increasingly yielding to the demands of corporations, but in a more sane liability system their actions would put AI-assisted driving back years by forcing stricter regulation due to Tesla's demonstrated unwillingness to take basic precautions.
