Tesla Model 3 has been recognized as the world’s “most sought-after EV,” demonstrating customers’ interest in this battery-powered model among any other options available in the market. It is unsurprising given its sports car-like performance, innovative technology, and fair price.
It must be noted that the Tesla Model 3 can still be considered a “newcomer” in the EV market as its customer deliveries only began in July 2017.
Therefore, the all-electric sedan’s initial batches are about to reach their fifth anniversary.
Remarkably, the Tesla EV managed to maintain customers’ satisfaction over the years of their ownership. It proved highly reliable, as noted by more than 5,000 Model 3 owners involved in Bloomberg’s latest survey.
Tesla Model 3 demonstrates exceptional performance, ease of use, and appealing design
In 2019, Bloomberg conducted a comprehensive study to determine buyers’ perceptions of their purchased Tesla Model 3. It revealed that the majority of the respondents were upbeat about their all-electric sedan from America’s leading automaker.
Now, Bloomberg published its follow-up study to learn how Tesla Model 3 owners’ feelings toward their EVs changed over the years of their ownership. Unsurprisingly, most of the respondents were still very happy about their purchase even after many years, owing to the model’s performance, ease of use, and design.
The survey asked the Tesla Model 3 owners if the all-electric sedan proved to be more reliable than prior cars they had. In response, the majority of the respondents emphasized that they “strongly agreed or agreed.”
Remarkably, the Tesla EV’s impressive reliability demonstrated continuous growth over time. Tesla Model 3 owners in 2023 cited that once initial issues like paint flaws and misaligned panels got fixed, the EV’s primary systems performed well.
“The only problem I had in 90,000 miles was a broken window button. It cost $51, and they came to my office to repair it.”

- brakes
- chassis
- battery
- drive system
- electronics
- climate control
- interior
