I have the 2024 awd long range model in ultra red. I've noticed that some people complain about having to take your eyes off of the road to start the wipers. This is not true. Quickly tap the button on the left stick once and then within a few seconds move the left control button on the steering wheel left or right to speed up the wipers. Alternatively, hold down the right button on the wheel and say "wipers on level 3" or whatever level you want. You can also get CarPlay if you want it by buying a wireless CarPlay adapter on Amazon for less than $100 so CarPlay is available if you want it. The interior is a little more Spartan than I would like but everything else I like. For long road trips charge the car to 100% and you will get around 300 miles range but I never drive that far without stopping and, like a gas car, wouldn't let the battery go to close to 0.

Love this new update!

I was gas all the way until I drove a 2023 model y. I decided to check out the new 2026 and this was an absolute stunner! The handling is amazing and the ride is incredibly comfortable, with the 19” wheels and the updated suspension. It soaks up bumps with ease and I’m loving all the technology with the touchscreen. Definitely a learning curve coming from a 2016 Nissan maxima, which I loved. Totally digging the Frunk as I now use that as my main storage and it’s great if you have takeout and want to keep the smell out of the cabin. Range is awesome and I’m super excited everytime I get behind the wheel of this thing. Tesla did it right! Will update in a couple months with any changes.

The Tesla Model Y is good at so many things. Quiet and calm when you want but still faster than sports cars. Great for people who love tech but simple to do all the basics. Huge amount of storage when you include frunk, sub-trunk and trunk side compartments. App control is so nice - pre-heat or pre-cool, send nav directions trough app, view car cameras and honk horn remotely. Dog-mode is a brilliant feature. Autopilot in traffic is such a stress reducer! Software so good that I don't want car play or android auto. Love watching YouTube or Netflix when I have time to kill. Best stereo I've ever had. Nice to listen to text messages and respond through dictation. Syncs with calendar so knows nav when I get in the car. Reliable supercharging offers peace of mind with no range anxiety. Just an incredible car - amazed I can afford something this good!

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.
