Some people get bored with any car after a year - this guy is one of them.  I buy a carefully selected car and drive it for 10+ years.

Had mine for a year now and it still looks, feels and smells brand new. 30,000 miles on it and still have NOT had to replace anything, not even the wipers. I fall in love with it more and more every day.

I gotta say, I agree about %10 of what you said. My wife got a model Y about 2 weeks ago, I’ve driven it 3 time, and there’s no way I can ever go back to a gas car again.

ive had my model y for a year and a half and I drive this car like no other. 35 thousand miles per year. I fricken love my car, my only complaint is the stiff suspension for the performance model so I opt for 18" wheels and a bigger tire for more cushion, it's OK now. The car saves me $300 PER MONTH on gas. So I dont see it as a luxury option but a survivability option with a hint of luxury. I dont regret my decision

I would agree that the feeling I get when entering my M3LR is far from one of luxury and that continues while driving with a rattle here and there. However, I never assumed that luxury was what I was paying for in a Tesla Model 3. I consider it (Tesla) to be the best electric car available for the dollars paid. Acceleration, OTA updates, range, charging infrastructure and an overall feeling of technical excellence overtake the loss of a luxurious feeling.

i got the model Y LR. owned since Jan 2022 and have 50 K miles. my battery loss is very little maybe 10 miles but i also rarely charge to 100% so thats probably helped a good bit. I do agree the wireless chargers do suck. My car does Ghost breaking randomly day and night but sometimes it doesnt happen for weeks. FSD does work much better than the Autopilot program. I would buy another one a highly recommend one to anyone.

Absolutely love my Model Y.  Safety, software, and SuperChargers are just too good to ignore.  Incredibly comfortable, best cargo capacity in its class, excellent performance, great range... what's not to like.  ;)

We were told by Tesla not to charge 100% most of the time. We only charge to 90% and after more than 2 years of ownership the batteries have shown no noticeable decline in charge. Phantom braking is a problem although not as bad as it was, but still a headache. Overall we are quite happy with the car. We would never road trip with it, just don’t want the hassle of finding charging stations. For local daily driving it is so nice not having to worry about gas prices. As you stated the acceleration never gets old, ours is a performance Y. When I really want acceleration I hop in the S plaid, that thing makes the Y seem slow. The S is one of the smoothest riding cars out there due to its air suspension, but that performance comes at a cost and the car sits so low that for me it’s difficult to get in and out of so I don’t drive it very often. For most people the Y is a great car, but never buy any EV until you do your research. There are some unique things that you must consider before buying.

I look forward to your comments on your next non-Tesla EV after 12 months of driving.

Regen braking was not reduced via an over the air update. It just got cold outside. In fact, tesla increased regen braking in a cold battery via an over the update where it basically will create heat with the motors when the battery is cold and still provide regen braking when it did not before.

Also, the battery likely didn’t degrade much, the BMS estimate is likely just off due to charging habits

Not a perfect car but it’s very nice :)

I think there is a setting so you can have the app open in the background to unlock the car.
And there should also be a setting now to simulate regen braking when it's not fully available (of cause depends on your current software version)

I have a 22 Y LR and honestly, I like it a lot. Didn't buy it as a luxury car despite the price tag. Great daily driver it is.

7 months in my model 3, I have to say 0 issues, I think the only problem is the cameras seem to get blinded easily that's it, other then that it's been an excellent car!!

I have had the same car, with white seats, for almost 2 months and the things you don't like are the things I like best. I simply turn off the automatic high lights. Only the suspension is too low. If we could install air suspension in Tesla, it would be perfect. It exists, but we would lose the warranty if we did. The cameras are very low quality. But I am totally in love with the car.

Good points.  The positive definitely outweigh the negative for me.  My wife got one after her 530i was totaled.  Many asked for my recommendation and bought Tesla.  I spoke to Mach E owner who bought one when someone backed out of a contract.  He said the one thing he did not like about the Mach E was the poor charging network when he drives long distance.  I believe Tesla is not just an EV but an EV with a whole network of supercharging.  The price you pay is part of the supercharging.

I bought my 2023 Model Y LR because  of the EV trend, reduced operation cost, and warranty. I must admit the initial costs to equip and charge my vehicle at home has been a downer. Additionally, the added expense by the State was unexpected. But the car is fun to drive except for phantom braking that tends to occur on a clear day, and as more EV charging stations come on line, access to electricity will be less of an issue. Oh, my car was built well, so that is not an issue, which was an issue in the past for some.

I’m excited for my model y to be coming in. Wouldn’t have considered if it wasn’t for the reduction in price

Since you asked, after 3 years I still love my model 3. It  handles like a sports car and passes everything in sight - especially gas stations.

I have owned a Model Y Performance since last October and plan to keep it long term.  It is a fantastic around town car. Plenty of storage space for our needs.  It is a fun car but also appliance-like too. Not a problem for me as we have other vehicles for fun or utility.

Good video!  I have to admit I am a Model X fan and have driven the car 22,000 miles in a little over five years. The longest trip being over 600 miles round trip about three/four times a year.  Covid kept me home bound, so mileage is low.  I think this size is huge, in answer to all of you who have space issues.  I did buy a new 'alternate' battery, and four new tires recently, plus sprung for another five years of warranty.  I am 84 years young and loving the speed I use when getting onto the highway here in the Bay Area.  I can avoid everyone!!
