Been eyeing the Tesla Model Y... Finally bought it

I have been considering buying a Tesla for a couple years now and finally took the leap and purchased a Model Y. For me, doing mostly local driving with a few trips here and there over 100 miles, decided to go with the RWD + FSD. First off, the car looks and drives great! Quick enough, quiet, comfortable, all-in-all extremely happy. The purchase process through the app was simple, and only had to sign a couple papers when I showed up to take delivery the next day. I also decided to try out Tesla Insurance which is fun to kind of watch your safety score change and actually ended up being cheaper than my equivalent policy with Progressive that I have had for many many years. I personally like the minimalistic interior with one central screen. The ONLY con I would have to say is the wood trim, just kind of feels out of place. I did delete all the wood with aftermarket carbon fiber so looks much better. If this experience holds out for the next 3 years or so and the resale value holds, I could see myself continuing to buy Tesla's.

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.

I'm not mad, just disappointed.

In March of 2024, we were deciding between the Ford Mach E and the Tesla Model Y. Tesla began offering aggressive lease rates that Ford only matched about 30 days after I signed my Tesla lease. It was about that time I began regretting our choice. The biggest and most egregious issue is the lack of service centers. I live in metro Detroit and the only option for service is 45 minutes away in Clarkston. On top of that, they are scheduled months out for service visits. As far as the vehicle itself, here are the issues: 1) Software - the interface is not user friendly, glitches fairly regularly, and updates with unpredictable regularity and results. 2) The roofline comes down aggressively close to the driver's head. I have a tall upper body and it creates a claustrophobic effect. 3) The climate vents are immobile, unlike nearly every other vehicle. 4) The lack of a dash display in favor of only having the giant tablet display in the center is uncomfortable. 5) This last one is a minor, but annoying, quirk. When everything else on the vehicle is automatic, why on earth is the "frunk" (blech marketing on that one - ew) not automatic close? It isn't all bad. Here are the positives: 1) Quality construction - I have heard people complain about lack of quality with Tesla, but I don't get that. Aside from a failure with the automatic seat latch and the software, I have found the Model Y to both feel and operate in a solid and stable fashion. 2) As with other electric vehicles, the immediate torque is both useful and exhilarating. This thing moves and handles with precision and speed. 3) The sound system is terrific. All told, the more time passes, the less I like the vehicle. In 2.5 years, I don't expect to be leasing another Tesla.

Autopilot is a joke

I have been driving my Tesla Model Y for a few months. When I first got it last year, I was very impressed by the Autopilot feature. But the recent update completely ruined it. It will constantly (every 5 to 10 seconds) remind you to put hands on the steering wheel. If you try to change a radio channel or look on the screen for more than 3 seconds, the red warning box will come up treating you as a scuflaw. Today I received a warning saying my autosteer got suspended for a week due to my recent driving behavior, even though I didn't receive any forced disengagement. Tesla and its software have become a joke. If I had known the autosteer features could be so badly ruined by updates, I would have bought a BMW X5e instead.
