Best car I’ve ever owned!

2024 Tesla Model Y Performance 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

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.

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.

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!

Other Worldly Awesomeness

2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range Launch Series 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 4/25 (electric DD)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful

The Launch is our second Model Y. We bought our first one in 2020. Although we were impressed by our first one, it did have some shortcomings, all of which have been addressed in the new Launch. Short and sweet here goes. Faster, quieter, awesome handling, smooth, great ruby red paint job, ample tint on sunroof, great turning radius, fantastic full self driving, even better sound system, flawless navigation, heated rear seats and cooled front seats, perfect fit and finish, drainable frunk, beautiful wheel design whether you choose to use the hub caps or not and useful outside speaker, rear seats that fold down AND up with the push of a button and front seats that adjust automatically so the rear can fully fold down. We are also getting better MPE. The Launch and Juniper series Model Y are in a class by themselves. I have never owned a car that could come close to this.

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.
