I have owned various Tesla models since 2014. Although not enough to turn me off completely, all of them gave me some level of disappointment with build quality (interior materials, seat design, cabin noise level, panel gap issues). However, after inspecting my new 2026 model for an hour before accepting delivery, I was unable to find a single issue anywhere!! After owning it for a bit, I continue to be impressed with the overall improvements in design and workmanship in all of the areas mentioned above, plus many more. Of course, the driver assist features are unwatched, including its Full Self Driving capability. Finally, as a recommendation for those evaluating EVs, avoid placing a priority on range and/or charging speed. Once you own an EV for a while, you will realize these criteria are pretty superfluous. You will find that you RARELY charge you car on the road, and Tesla’s Supercharger Network when combined with the vehicle’s navigation system, virtually removes all range anxiety.

Tesla Model Y: Overhyped junk / appalling service

Suckered by the hype, I leased a Tesla Model Y and it was a nightmare experience: Trashy ride quality — rides like it has no shocks; range is a lie — got 110 miles in winter, 180 miles in summer with HVAC use. Slightly better on highways at 220 miles but still far short of the 300+ miles claimed. 12V battery failed with no warning, and it took Tesla TWO weeks to dispatch someone to replace it. Unlike most cars, the hood is not manual and when the battery dies, you have to Jerry rig it open but in my case, Tesla failed to properly wire the batteries at the factory so they had to drill holes to get it to open. Then the HVAC failed followed by the trunk strut failing; Wiring harness fired. In all, I spent over $3000 in car rentals while Tesla got around to repairing the various problems. Dumped it and got the Lexus RZ 450e and am getting 275 miles to 400 miles range in city driving. The ride quality, tech and safety features of the Lexus blow away the Model Y. Took it on a road trip from DC to NYC and it beat the Tesla in range and efficiency. Could even charge it a Tesla Supercharger. Lexus is offering huge discounts on the RZ (got mine for $43,000) and its the best EV on the market. Disregard the critics, just drive one after you drive a Model Y and you’ll see how far behind Tesla has fallen Lexus in EVs. My second favorite was the Cadillac Lyriq but it makes an annoying pedestrian warning sound at speeds below 25 MPH which kills the silent EV experience. Check out my full review of the Lexus RZ 450e on Edmunds (posted under my handle: RZ 450e in DC)

I just bought the car a month ago. My experience with the Tesla Model Y has been deeply disappointing due to critical safety issues encountered in cold weather. When the temperature dropped to 18 degrees Fahrenheit, my car's cameras completely froze, rendering the navigation system useless and making it extremely dangerous to back up – a significant concern given the vehicle's size and limited visibility. This lack of functionality creates a serious safety hazard. I contacted Tesla immediately and was told to simply schedule a service appointment, the earliest of which is three weeks out. This is unacceptable for such a serious issue. While I appreciate the technological advancements of the Model Y, its inability to function safely in cold weather is a major flaw that needs immediate attention. Additionally, I cannot back up safely since the back is so bulky, and the visibility is nearly 0 ... They do not have standard apps like Apple Connect. I will try to sell this car. The Billionaire does not care about little things like this that happen to his customers. |
