I had an itch for the Model Y. Rented a 2022 Model Y from hertz. In short the built quality is horrendous, at 16k miles there were so many rattles and squeaks.

In short the built quality is horrendous, at 16k miles there were so many rattles and squeaks. Acceleration is amazing. The suspension is equivalent to a track toy that bounces on every bump. Tesla removed ultrasonic sensors in 2023. The autowipers are complete trash. The sound isolation is extremely poor. Driving the car gave me a headache.
So, I won't be buying it. I can't believe how harsh the suspension is. Also, the cabin is really dark at night, as there is 0 mood lighting.
- Kirby64 4y ago>> Also, the cabin is really dark at night, as there is 0 mood lighting. Are you referring to while you're driving? Or when you're parked, and cabin lights come on? If anything, darkness in the cabin seems like a large benefit to me at night. I've driven some cars that have obnoxiously bright blue LEDs on buttons which end up being distracting at night.
- avgDev 4y agoI refer to cabin when driving. I like soft mood lighting. I dislike that I could barely see the steering wheel at night, as there is no gauges behind the wheel. Maybe I would get used to it, not sure.
- Kirby64 4y agoNot sure I see a benefit to seeing the steering wheel, personally. The two scroll wheels for media controls are lit... so otherwise there shouldn't really be anything missing. I'd be concerned extra light affecting night vision, as well. Anything to make the cabin dimmer while actually driving aids that.
- sschueller 4y agoI prefer the red cookpit style lighting Audi used to have. Doesn't interfere yet still gives enough light to find switches etc.
- nikau 4y agoThere's your problem, no switches to find in a tesla
