2 Months with a 2021 Model Y

I bought this model with 15,000 miles and a 2+ year warranty remaining. So far so good. But after a few weeks notices a clanging from the rear passenger side. I scheduled an appointment at the nearby Tesla service center and they diagnosed it as a loose antenna, and tightened it. But a few weeks later it returned. I will have them check that out again. I also reported a poor "fit and finish" as to how the hatchback fits with the body, i.e., a large gap on the last side and a tight fit on the right side. They scheduled an appointment with a local body shop to fix that and it is scheduled this week. Other than that, its great. I love the white interior. It seems to stay clean, but it does show any small particles of dirt that may fall on the seat. A damp cloth or vacuum picks those up easily.

The acceleration matches the looks. The fun level of off the charts, and what a great way to say good bye to gas stations! Every morning, I have a vehicle with a full tank ... should I go on a trip, the Tesla Superchargers give me a reason to stop and sell the roses of life.

Don't listen to the politically biased naysayers. This is a fantastic ride and so superior technologically, that some of the things in the news are just plain laughable. I just purchased a 2024 and it's even better! Two things to consider. 1. Make sure you can charge with 220V at home. 2. If you drive > 250 miles a day, then you may want to reconsider electric for now.
