The Tesla Model Y is great in theory. Indeed, it drives beautifully and offers promising glimpses of transport in the future. That said, it's nowhere close to ready for prime time based on my experience with a three year lease. In particular: Battery Life: Range is nowhere close to advertised particularly when it's cold or there's any kind of hill to climb. Tires: I had two blowouts after rolling over unobtrusive hazards, and the other two tires needed to be replaced after a mere 23,000 miles. Why? Because the Tesla is HEAVY and the standard tires seem chosen for looks and not durability. Wheels: Related, in designing the wheels for aerodynamics (a generous assumption), they were very subject to curb rash when parallel parking. Common in my city. Software: The digital experience is very cool, and updates are an interesting idea, except when controls you were counting on -- like the windshield wipers -- move around. Or when connecting directly to Spotify requires you to cancel a long-running family subscription with dozens of playlists. Don't worry -- there's a workaround, says Tesla. Just fiddle with Bluetooth connections and looking at your phone while driving. Hmmm Windshield Wipers: The wiper system runs on cameras not sensors. So when experiencing light rain or mist (common in my city), the wipers do not engage. This visibility hazard is compounded by then needed to fiddle with software to turn on wipers that either run too fast or intermittently. Door Handles: Cute idea to have them flush with the doors, but almost every passenger I ever had, struggled to open the doors. Maintenance: With the limited number of parts in its drivetrain, Tesla advertised the need for little maintenance. Yet, senor problems, recalls, and the above-mentioned tire problems, had me in the shop 7 times over three years! Service/Support: Tesla people are competent and nice. Yet, they're saddled with a product that's not up to snuff and they're trained not to apologize, much less take financial responsibility for issues that should have been under warranty. Elon: Over the course of my lease, Elon took control of Twitter/X. It was interesting to watch the car's brand value diminish during this time. "How could you use a car from him?" was the question I started to get on a routine basis. I don't subscribe to the idea that one person is the whole company, but this may be a concern to people who are brand conscious. Bottom line: This car was very disappointing and I have continually recommended against buying them. I'd also call myself skeptical of the EV category until battery technology improves. My next car will be a hybrid, or maybe a plug-in hybrid.

Incredible technology but very simple to use. TESLA has the best engineers in the world and I noticed the difference with other car makers. I loved my BMW but I have no regrets. I will buy Tesla only.

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.

Build quality was near perfect. 3 mm panel gaps all around except for 3 inches with a 4.5 mm gap. Gauge measured. Performance edition, with near scary scary acceleration when in 490 hp mode. BMW 5 series handling characteristics. Perfect dead center steering. 21 inch wheels with extremely low profile tires makes for a harsher ride. FSD, which performs near perfect. A wonderful sports car to drive, with the body of a SUV. Update 6 months later, although I wished I had not ordered FSD yet. I almost never use it because it is just too fun to drive.
