Customer service quality only becomes apparent when there's a problem. Drive a Dream responded to concerns expressed through my original review here and took steps to 'make it right.' This is now a there's a problem. Drive a Dream responded to concerns expressed through my original review here and took steps to 'make it right.' This is now a positive review. I love my Tesla 3. I got a good price and a good deal. The people I worked with were all professional and nice- salesman, sales manager, service guy and the general manager. They have gone the extra mile to make it right. A few tips, whether buying from this dealer or other: Ask questions, lots of questions. Don't be shy and don't be afraid to ask a stupid question. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Recognize that you're dealing with a small and growing business. The problems I faced were more due to inconsistent processes and communication than anything else. Meet the sales manager and get his # and email address, just in case. EV's get extra benefits for paying for special license plate in GA. Ask about this. Make sure communications come to you via your preferred method-email or text- to make sure you don't something important. Tesla is notorious for plastic molding problems. I test drove a few with this issue. It's a simple fix, but make sure to check before taking the car. They paid for two Uber trips to make things right. I am a happy customer today. Mistakes happen. Be patient and give people the benefit of the doubt. But also be persistent. You paid to be satisfied, so make sure you are. It may take longer and more effort on your part than expected, but it is worth it. More

The whole process was smooth and no stress. The communication was easy. We mostly texted due to schedule differences. Since we were from out of town as well we did half of the process from ho The communication was easy. We mostly texted due to schedule differences. Since we were from out of town as well we did half of the process from home and half at the dealership. We had Russel who assisted us on the 1st test drive a week before purchase which was a breeze. Basim helped us with pricing over text. Finally, Ameer (very friendly and approachable) assisted us with our final drive test, all the last questions we had, prepping our paperworks, having our new family vehicle ready for us. The whole process does feel like a 5 star! More

Outside of the initial negotiation with Russell and Sal, the test drive and paperwork was efficient.
