Just an all around amazing fun car that does many things an ICE vehicle can never do. Range is more than adequate, Tesla charging network is flawless and convenient. Does not contain thousands of items needed by an ICE vehicle. Of great importance to me is dog mode. I can now go shopping or to the beach in Florida any time I want and take my pup with me. No more worry about car overheating. Size and camp mode makes it ideal for long distance travel in total comfort. Auto drive means no more exhaustion on long drives. Auto drive has already avoided two accidents in town. I use it all the time. Having heat pump, Netflix and Hulu etc. means long waits in car are not an inconvenience. Incredibly easy to keep charged in carport as needed. The longer I have it the more I love it.

A Rocky Road with My Tesla Model Y

As a new Tesla Model Y owner, I embarked on what I hoped would be a seamless journey with a cutting-edge electric vehicle. However, my experience has been anything but smooth, marked by a series of unfortunate incidents and what I perceive as inadequate customer service. Windshield Woes: Within the first month, I encountered a mysterious crack in the front windshield. Tesla's assessment attributed it to a rock strike – an explanation I found perplexing and somewhat unsatisfactory. The responsibility for repair costs, amounting to approximately $2000, fell entirely on me, a disheartening outcome for such a new purchase. Tire Troubles on the Road: My drive from Redmond, WA to Portland, OR was abruptly interrupted by a blown tire – a stressful situation exacerbated by a blizzard. Tesla's roadside assistance was far from comforting; their suggestion to book a hotel and wait for service was impractical given the severe weather conditions and my family's well-being. Although they eventually sent a service truck to replace the tire, their insistence on taking the damaged tire to their service center was another point of frustration. Compounded by the discovery of a second damaged tire, with an additional cost of $420 for replacements, the ordeal was a significant inconvenience. It disrupted our family routine, causing us to miss work and school. Comparing Experiences: Reflecting on my ownership of cars from other brands like Nissan, Toyota, and Honda, I can't recall facing such issues. My decision to switch to Tesla was driven by a desire to embrace environmentally friendly technology and to benefit from the purported long-term economical advantages of an electric vehicle. However, this series of events has led me to question my decision. As of now, I'm left with the task of coordinating the retrieval of my tire from Portland and addressing the bubble in the second tire, which renders my car undriveable. It's a reminder that every purchase, especially one as significant as a vehicle, comes with its own set of challenges. In Conclusion: This review is a candid account of my experience as a Tesla owner. It's not just about the technical difficulties, but also about the expectation of support and service that should accompany any high-end product. I remain hopeful for a resolution and believe that sharing my story might help others in making informed decisions. My journey with Tesla continues, and I'm eager to see if the coming weeks bring about a change in my current perspective.

Best car I’ve ever owned!

I absolutely love the tesla model Y. For the first time, I stayed with the same model back to back and upgraded. The tech, safety, convenience are unmatched. It has features that simply don’t exist on other vehicles like a dash cam and sentry recording. It receives software upgrades that regularly add new features. Quality has been great on the two I’ve owned- no significant issues. Instant acceleration and speed are also great and make the car fun to drive.

Our first electric car and my wife and I LOVE everything about it. It took 2 days to feel like we could never go back to gas powered car or SUV. It the difference between using a dial up phone and cell phone. It helps that we are both mid 70s and still embrace new technology. Welcome to the future.

Don't believe the low star reviews.

There's an "understanding" curve to owning an EV. Seems that all of the low star reviews are from people who haven't figured out how an EV works. You can't drive 80-85mph and expect to get great range. Keep it under 75 and you'll lose 10-30% of stated range. If it's very cold weather, expect a bigger drop, like 40%. But you still have 140 miles in cold weather at Highway speeds. My first car was a Spark EV that got 82 miles. I had a 70 mile roundtrip commute. It was stressful, but in 2 years i never ran out of juice. My 2023 MY LR AWD gets me 285 miles on long trips. Range anxiety is just not a thing in a Tesla. I've been driving Bolts for the last 7 year's and even with their 190 miles of highway range, i still had some anxiety on long trips. PROS: * Charging network and integration of it with the car is fantastic. No one else has this. * Acceleration is fantastic. * The Bang & Olufsen sound system is INCREDIBLE. * Camp Mode! You can sleep in the car even if you're 6'4" like i am. * Teslas don't get stolen. It's too easy to track them. * The car looks fantastic, and there are tons of after-market customizations you can do. * Over The Air updates have been very regular and have really made great updates to functionality. Blind spot warning lights were missing, but they've handled this really well in an update earlier this year. It's now the best I've ever seen in any car, which is great after being literally the worst. CONS * My Bolt Premiere has FAR better parking assistance and cross traffic warning. For a $50,000 car, it's a crime that Tesla doesn't have the same features as the Bolt Premiere. Top down 360 camera for parking is a must. Teslas version is pathetic and Elon should be embarrassed. It's almost useless. * Ride quality could be better, but it's not as bad as a lot of people say. The tires are low profile, but once they break in after 500 miles, the ride smooths out a bit. Also, the suspension was updated in mid 2023, which made a big difference. Luckily, i got mine in November. * Tesla Service is inconsistent between locations. I also find that in ALL of Elons companies, the service is not great. The Reps often don't really seem to care. It's like talking to someone at the DMV, though even they (the DMV) have gotten much better. * Expect to pay double, at least, for car insurance. I have a perfect record, and I'm paying over $1800/yr. I've heard horror stories of younger people paying double or triple what they were paying. And that's with using Tesla Insurance, which is going to be cheaper than anyone else. The car is a blast to drive, and, like all EV's, you can't wait to drive it again. The technology in it is super fun. In my decades of driving and owning over 30 cars - mostly German and Japanese luxury brands, this is my favorite car of them all.
