Not just battery and range.
I've had problems with the passenger side airbag not enabling, and turn signal not working. Both scary issues. Made appointments with the support. Both were cancelled outright by them (!). They tried to convince me that there was no problem, and it was all due to the way I use the car. They seemed to try everything to get out of appointments. My wife had to use the back seat for a month while I argued with them.
Eventually both problems were resolved by software updates, proving that the problems were indeed on their side.

- ke88y 3y agoChauffeurs tend to drive vehicles that are more comfortable than the back seat of a Tesla. Sitting in the back seat of any non-luxury sedan sucks.
- mrguyorama 3y agoTesla claims to be a luxury car. Plenty of Luxury sedans meanwhile have terrible back seats that basically cannot be used, because it's a luxury car, not a family car.

I know recent tests show the back seat is a good bit less safe, and I think it's primarily due to most manufacturers not using the same seat belt technology as they do in the front, but maybe some of that is the lack of a front airbag.
- tokai 3y agoSeems the model y has good results in crash testing for rear passenger safety. https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/tesla/model-y-4-door-suv/2023 https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/tesla/model-y-4-door-su...

- shwoopdiwoop 3y agoI thought it was just me! Trying to control turn signals is beyond infuriating in a Model Y. You would think that this should be part of the functionality that is largely free of bugs..
- spideymans 3y agoThe airbags needing a software update in the first place is terrifying.
