Tesla has done the R&D and has the superior infrastructure for EVs. We really liked local driving the Tesla Model Y Longrange, as we did all our charging right at home in the garage. We really didn't know how advanced this EV was for doing long trips until we started driving long trips. The 300 plus mile range is great and quite frankly after240 miles, we were ready to stop and use facilities and grab a sandwich & drink. By the time we were ready to leave (25 minutes or so) we were fully charged again. I know that non Tesla charging stations just can't perform like this. We simply plug in and the charge station automatically does everything including charge rate and billing. With the new 250 super chargers, and charging was unbelievably quick. Don't get suckered by those manufacturers trying to follow Tesla's lead.

We have had the red beauty for 4 months and love everything about it. This being our second Tesla we were not surprised. We now own two Teslas and no ICE cars. Looking forward to taking ski trips in our new Model Y.

Disappointing and sometimes dangerous

I have exclusively driven EVs for over 6 years so have plenty of experience as to what I should expect. The Tesla was provided as a low carbon company car. It is undoubtedly fast, has a great range, is low carbon and has some slick features. But... there is so much wrong with this car that cannot be forgiven. 1. Setting charging time and level to use off peak power prices. The process to do this is inexplicably and pointlessly difficult. If you have an EV tariff for cheap power from midnight till 4am you want to be able to set the car to charge then, simple? Er no. For whatever reason, with the Tesla you can set when charging starts, but not when it ends! Instead you have to use a poorly responsive slider to *guess* how much charge can be delivered in 4 hrs. You also have to charge the vehicle as a minimum up to about 40%, you cannot set the slider less than this. Why! As I have PV and batteries, that also charge in this 4hr window, this means that every time my Tesla demand to be charged beyond the 4hr window, it drains my house batteries. Other EVs don't do this, it's simple to fix, so just WHY? 2. Dangerous wipers and voice only control. Stripping out almost all buttons and dials and putting them all on a computer screen. Hmm, what can go wrong? For one, fiddling with the screen for more than a brief glance while driving is illegal. The driver also has to account for weather and driving conditions in deciding what is acceptable distraction from the road. This means that as a lone driver, you may not actually be allowed to adjust the radio, wipers, temperature or other settings from the screen. In theory you can use the voice controls, however, to do so you have to soeak in a clear unaccented voice and if you have a cold, a speech impediment, or a strong UK accent, these controls just don't work. For the wipers, you can get one or 2 swipes by pushing the left hand stick button. Auto wipers should work, however the auto setting is not very responsive to actual visibility through the screen, it is slow to activate, and slow to change speed. I have actually had to resort to pulling over dangerously in the rain, and setting the wipers to run continuously at the speed I think they will need for my whole journey. Initially the Y would only respond to an American accent! This seems to have been improved with push updates. 3. Constant bloomin updates. Every couple of weeks I seem to need to download gigabytes of updates. I have never experienced this with another EV. For whatever reason, my car, parked on the drive, near to the house, will not pick up my home WiFi. At the same distance, all other devices, and my last EV had no problem. This means that every update has to be downloaded using mobile data from my phone and a hotspot to the car. Each one can take 20-30minutes and burns though my monthly mobile data allowance. Then, while the car is updating it is again unusable for 30+minutes. 4. Door opening, the recessed handles can take 2 hands to open. You need to push one side and the pull the handle that protrudes. Not great if your passengers are carrying anything or for some reason have the use of only one hand. Also, sometimes the doors seem to remain locked unless the driver opens the drivers side door. When the drivers side door opens into traffic, and people want to get into the passenger side, this can be annoying. There may be a setting to override this, but I haven been able to find it yet. 5. Indicator clunky. Most cars have an intuitive indicator, up for right and the one swipe down to switch to left. This works on roundabouts when you need to change quickly from right to left indicator when exiting. The Tesla has a wierd 2 stage indicator, in 2 separate movements you need to cancel the first indicator, release, then initiate the second indicator. Neither change seems very responsive, the action is spongy, without the confirmation of a click to assure you it has activated or deactivated. This has led to several occasions where I have been honked at by other drivers, and left pedestrians confused as the indicator fails to activate on leaving a roundabout. In addition to the issues on roundabouts the indicator often seems difficult to cancel quickly after use while driving. Overall, while this is undoubtedly a low carbon company car, with the sort of range needed for regular distance driving, if you were to consider buying it yourself, the Tesla is expensive bling for people with more money than sense. There are plenty of other excellent EVs out there that have a good range, are safer to drive and far less expensive than this oversold status car. While the Tesla's range, economy and cost to run are fine, IMHO these are vastly out weighed by the negatives. I will be ditching this car and shifting to another EV as soon as possible

The best daily driver we’ve ever owned!

I am by all accounts a car guy!, My other vehicles include a 2006, Land Cruiser, 2022 ram power wagon, and a race car, the thought of driving an EV was not attractive at all. Having had the model Y for a little under a year and approximately 11,000 miles, there’s no way I would switch back to an ICE as a daily driver. This vehicle does everything my previous DD, a 740i did, except it’s faster, handles better, I believe is safer, has almost as much room, and is what most current vehicles are not, intuitive. This vehicle is built with the end-user in mind, versus most if not all other vehicles which are built with the understanding that you will adapt to their systems and instrument cluster to take full advantage of the vehicle. Teslas are overwhelmingly software driven, which allows them to be infinitely adjustable and customizable to your needs. The fact that it’s an EV and costs a fraction of an ICE in daily use and virtually, zero upkeep, is the icing on the cake. Most car companies, including the European brands, have gone to EV, but they should also take notice of Tesla and start building vehicles with the end-user in mind!
