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.

I decided to try a Tesla as I use my car for work. I weighed a lot of vehicle options but for the price, power, and efficiency I could not find a better car. I have already put 32,000 miles in my first year of ownership. I haven’t had any issues at all, even my factory tires are still I good shape. Will probably have to change them around 40,000 but that will be the First maintenance done to the car.

The Tesla Model Y is good at so many things. Quiet and calm when you want but still faster than sports cars. Great for people who love tech but simple to do all the basics. Huge amount of storage when you include frunk, sub-trunk and trunk side compartments. App control is so nice - pre-heat or pre-cool, send nav directions trough app, view car cameras and honk horn remotely. Dog-mode is a brilliant feature. Autopilot in traffic is such a stress reducer! Software so good that I don't want car play or android auto. Love watching YouTube or Netflix when I have time to kill. Best stereo I've ever had. Nice to listen to text messages and respond through dictation. Syncs with calendar so knows nav when I get in the car. Reliable supercharging offers peace of mind with no range anxiety. Just an incredible car - amazed I can afford something this good!

Liked the car but it had a fatal flaw

This new Y dual motor was the 3rd Tesla in the family. Obviously, I knew and liked the brand. HOWEVER, this one had "new type" but faulty exterior camers which intermittently shut down. When that happened, the dash screen went blank and it was impossible to see behind the car. Forget about backing up unless you want to risk a collision or hitting a pedestrian. Tesla's service (euphemism) did not distinguish itself by, first, insisting I simply drive the car as is till they could engineer a fix by way of "update." When I refused, they--eventually--bought it back.
