Owning a Tesla is an exciting experience, and Jerry Jean-Pierre, a multi-sport athlete turned entrepreneur, can attest to that. He loves his Tesla Model 3 and has a few critiques of the popular electric car. According to Jean-Pierre, “Having my Tesla has been really enjoyable. Every time I’m at a stop light, I love pushing the pedal down and leaving other cars in the dust.”
The raw power of a Tesla was an immediate draw to him, but he also notes that owning an EV is brand-new territory for most. “Ever since I’ve been able to drive, my car was fueled by gas. But not anymore,” he laughs.
Jean-Pierre outlines his top 5 pros and cons of Tesla ownership below. The pros include saying goodbye to gas prices, less maintenance, self-driving technology, keeping the planet healthy, and potential tax credits. The cons include a steep price, charging can take time, some EVs have short ranges, charging stations aren’t available everywhere, and aesthetics of your vehicle will look similar to many.
Despite the cons, Jean-Pierre believes that the advantages of owning a Tesla are far greater than the disadvantages. He even offers up his Tesla on Turo and recommends driving a Tesla to those who may be on the fence about it. “Once you feel the lightning-fast acceleration, you’ll be instantly hooked,” he says.
