Question

I'm visiting my friends in LA, i.e. I don't live here in LA. Can I test drive?

Community Answer

Yes you can - however you need to book long in advance to make sure that your test drive is precisely in that period when you're visiting.

Which model is best for large drivers to be seated most comfortably?

I think the best one is probably model X and Y because they are SUVs. Maybe you can do an open-top roadster drive?

Question

Can I bring someone with me for the test drive? My father is 87 and has been obsessed with Tesla. I would like to schedule a test drive as a Father's Day gift, but want to make sure he can ride/drive.

It is likely up to current Covid restrictions in your area. However, under normal circumstances it is not an issue for him to ride along. However, in order to drive, he will likely also need to put down a deposit for insurance purposes.

Question

Is this a 24 hour test drive?

Community Answer

Check with the dealer to get an answer to that, as each dealer will differ. You can ask them how long they are offering the test drive for and check around other places. However, it is most unlikely to be more than an hour or so for a test drive, unless you make some special arrangement.

Question

What if I want to take a test "ride" instead of a test "drive"?

Liu Woods

Community Answer

Tesla doesn’t offer a test drive with a human assistant in the car while you drive. It’s better to watch some review videos of the Tesla model you want to get before scheduling the test drive.
