2025 Tesla Model Y SUV Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Great Car
This is an updated review. I had an issue that got resolved, so just iterating that the car is exceptional. The software runs better than any other EV (or non-EV) I drove. The battery management is great, and we see no degradation two years in. It is always funny to see sports cars trying to accelerate faster out of a light. The Y performance is untouchable, and I am guessing the S plaid is insane. Having sentry mode is great, especially when paring in tight spots, or sketchy places. We had some misaligned doors when first getting the car, so there was some wind noise, they fixed that quickly. The (no) maintenance costs are fantastic. Even the brakes will last longer since the car slows down and charges the battery when you take your foot of the accelerator, there are days I'd drive without touching the brakes once. Remember that you are driving a very quiet vehicle, and pedestrians may not hear you, though people are getting used to be more vigilant in our area with lots of EVs. Lots of new EV options now, but the user experience in the Tesla seems quite superior to me, comparing to Ford, Mercedes, and Kia.

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.

Noisy, rough riding & unreliable
I always wanted a Tesla and bought one in January because I love Elon and wanted rocket technology in my car. I think I got a lemon put together by a secret hater in the Austin factory. The car is super noisy inside and I feel every bump. Range has been about 60% of advertised and Tesla says it’s normal. I’ve gotten to talk to the reps a lot because like 5 times I’ve had problems and I’m in the shop all the time. I think Elon has vision and wants to make amazing products using the best tech but his employees are letting him and us customers down.

The 2025 exceeded my expectations
Jumped in on the 0% financing and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Tesla will set the example for the new way to purchase a new vehicle, loved the process. Took some getting used to, but Tesla will continue to disrupt the car industry.
