I have never been happier to get rid of a car than my model Y lease. For anyone considering a model y wish I had known:
-the turning radius is terrible, very annoying to drive and maneuver in parking lots
-the visibility without the cameras is poor, esp in the rear
-autopilot is frankly dangerous. I’m confident with it but handing it to my mother/wife is frightening
-the steering is very sensitive, esp at high speed. Even on comfort mode, it’s twitchy
-the ride quality is absolutely garbage. Such a hard ride; and yes, it makes it handle like it’s on rails. But how often do you want that vs potholes to not feel like your back is on the road?
-availability of chargers. The charging time is bad enough, but then you have to wait to even get on a charger more than you’d like. Not practical at all.
-if you have a partner of the impatient variety, they are not going to be happy when road trips take an extra hour or 2 for no reason.
-customer service is bad, the app is bad and the entire ownership experience is terrible if you’re used to dealing with any other manufacturer.
-no physical controls is super annoying
-phone key is buggy
-lots of software bugs and build quality issues.
