2025 Tesla Model Y Consumer Reviews
Pricing
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.

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.

Second model Y
This is my second model Y after 20 years of Volvos. I am not a car person. Driving a Tesla has changed how I drive and how I think about driving. The 2025 Y has a faster processor than my 2023 Y. This time I leased as technology is changing too fast. Also a lease of $300 a month is an amazing deal for such an all around fun car to drive. Only detractor is the firm drive.

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.

Excited to Buy, Sad to Own
What I didn’t know: The paint is soft, as in, so soft that if you take it through a car wash - even with soft scrubbers - you will have swirl marks in the paint. Additionally, the paint will chip away with every rock that touches the car. Very noticeable if you get a color paint. The seats are very uncomfortable. May have been designed by engineers who have severe head-forward posture and are unable to recognize how uncomfortable the seats are for those with normal posture. Suspension is so stiff and the headrests are so uncomfortable that on any uneven surface (any road not freshly paved), the headrest will hit your head with force. The “automatic” wipers are anything but. That should not have been a tough bar to cross, as most companies have been successfully making automatic wipers for decades. The interior is cheap, and marks up/frays quickly. Essentially, it’s the car you get when engineers who don’t know how to design cars or how to properly drive cars are given free rein. The Autopilot/FSD software drives like a bad 16-year old driver who didn’t take a driving class. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a much better choice value-wise for what you’ll spend on a Tesla. I will say, the charging network is good.
