love it
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.

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.

Deceptively Interior Space
Looking at this small SUV from the outside, its hard to believe it being roomy inside until you sit in it. Being a 60 something, 6 foot tall driver, no physical restrictions, I was getting tired of climbing in and out of my sedan and really was looking forward to graduating to something a little higher off the ground without the usual antics getting in and out of a car. A by chance test drive of this Y had me sold in literally 30 minutes. Slid right into the seat, amazed at the headroom. The acceleration off a dead start is nothing short of amazing, as is the sustained, quick ramp up to cruising speed. Sleeky good looking SUV, ample front and rear passenger space for 5 passengers, roomy hatchback trunk with a frunk to boot. A barebone front dash with just a control monitor takes some getting used to but you get used to it. Haven't rolled into a gas station in a year, charge at home and super charge on the road. Knocked one star off for the trunk fitment which need an adjustment. It was fine for awhile but seems to have regressed, not a biggie but build quality in this regard could be better. Other than that, reliable thus far and oh forgot to mention, the maintenance is next to none, just a tire rotation and air filter change.

I will drive my model Y till I die!
I have taken three road trips to SF, one to Stockton and six road trips to San Diego. I love the fact that there are Tesla V3 superchargers located on the I5 at Tejon Outlets, Harris Ranch Resort(100 V3 chargers) plus great steak served at Harris Ranch and the Hilton Hotel in Stockton with V3 chargers in hotel parking lot. My only complaint aboutthe casinos in San Diego County such as Pechanga, Pala and Harrahs is they use the Blink or EZ charge EV chargers that are second rate to a Tesla V3 supercharger. In fact when I go to Pechanga I will fully charge at the 76 station with Tesla Superchargers then use the EV chargers at the casino. I have 9,936 miles on my Tesla Model Y It is a pleasure to drive on long road trips. Just had the tires rotated on monday July 8th by s Tesla service tech at my home.

It's a city girl
I live in a rural area. I mostly drive two lane state and federal highways. Recently we took the vehicle in a road trip. There was a critical non Tesla charger on the trip. That charger was reported down. Luckily it was actually working. Otherwise we carry a charger cable with RV parks 30 and 50 amp connectors. Driving these two lane highways the speed limits are wrong on the nav screen most of the time. In one case the speed limit was forty miles an hour different. The reason I believe is previous long term construction zone speeds were not returned to normal. I haven't attempted to make a bug report in weeks. I tried to report the speed limit problem again yesterday. The car went to the bug report music as punishment immediately. Tesla does not want any feedback from customers. It a very arrogant company. The problem with the speed limits being off is the self driving and autopilot won't work correctly. If you are using it as a commuter or driving the interstate this is an awesome car. The charging infrastructure out west is not built up out of cities and away from interstates The cars shows 310 miles range. At highway speeds you're looking at around 240 miles. In Utah I 70 speeds are 80 mph. We pulled into the Tesla charger at Green River. The temperature was in the 90's. People at the chargers were experiencing battery anomalies. The batteries were overheated. The batteries stopped charging before achieving full. It's a great city car.
