2024 Model Y Long Range is almost perfect

I am quite happy with my brand new 2024 Model Y dual motor long-range. For me, the technology is stunning, The ride is good, great steering, and very fast when needed. The seating position is quite nice, tons of storage space, awesome sound system, super smooth and quiet, And of course all the benefits of a BEV with the supercharger network! We got the upgrade interior in white which is a nice offset to the dark gray exterior. One pedal driving is really great once you get used to it. And of course you have built-in internet connection, so you can stream videos while you're charging. Preconditioning the interior and the battery before you drive is such a good feature. We also use dog mode extensively as we have a little dog that loves to travel with us. I like the undistracting minimalist interior, I really like the capabilities of the phone app and using it as a key. You just walk up, sit down and drive away! I realized that it's going to take a little bit longer to do longer drives, but i'm willing to accept that and have great confidence with the supercharger network. Fit and finish on the 2924 is quite good and so far no problems at all. Yes, there are some limitations technologically, like no Apple Carplay or Android Auto, but I'm willing to deal with those limitations and adapt to Tesla's approach. The buying experience was super easy without the dealer upsell issues. Overall 5 stars!

This is an updated review. I had an issue that got resolved, so just iterating that the car is exceptional. The software runs better than any other EV (or non-EV) I drove. The battery management is great, and we see no degradation two years in. It is always funny to see sports cars trying to accelerate faster out of a light. The Y performance is untouchable, and I am guessing the S plaid is insane. Having sentry mode is great, especially when paring in tight spots, or sketchy places. We had some misaligned doors when first getting the car, so there was some wind noise, they fixed that quickly. The (no) maintenance costs are fantastic. Even the brakes will last longer since the car slows down and charges the battery when you take your foot of the accelerator, there are days I'd drive without touching the brakes once. Remember that you are driving a very quiet vehicle, and pedestrians may not hear you, though people are getting used to be more vigilant in our area with lots of EVs. Lots of new EV options now, but the user experience in the Tesla seems quite superior to me, comparing to Ford, Mercedes, and Kia.

I have the 2024 awd long range model in ultra red. I've noticed that some people complain about having to take your eyes off of the road to start the wipers. This is not true. Quickly tap the button on the left stick once and then within a few seconds move the left control button on the steering wheel left or right to speed up the wipers. Alternatively, hold down the right button on the wheel and say "wipers on level 3" or whatever level you want. You can also get CarPlay if you want it by buying a wireless CarPlay adapter on Amazon for less than $100 so CarPlay is available if you want it. The interior is a little more Spartan than I would like but everything else I like. For long road trips charge the car to 100% and you will get around 300 miles range but I never drive that far without stopping and, like a gas car, wouldn't let the battery go to close to 0.

Best American vehicle available

The Tesla Model Y is good at so many things. Quiet and calm when you want but still faster than sports cars. Great for people who love tech but simple to do all the basics. Huge amount of storage when you include frunk, sub-trunk and trunk side compartments. App control is so nice - pre-heat or pre-cool, send nav directions trough app, view car cameras and honk horn remotely. Dog-mode is a brilliant feature. Autopilot in traffic is such a stress reducer! Software so good that I don't want car play or android auto. Love watching YouTube or Netflix when I have time to kill. Best stereo I've ever had. Nice to listen to text messages and respond through dictation. Syncs with calendar so knows nav when I get in the car. Reliable supercharging offers peace of mind with no range anxiety. Just an incredible car - amazed I can afford something this good!

I decided to try a Tesla as I use my car for work. I weighed a lot of vehicle options but for the price, power, and efficiency I could not find a better car. I have already put 32,000 miles in my first year of ownership. I haven’t had any issues at all, even my factory tires are still I good shape. Will probably have to change them around 40,000 but that will be the First maintenance done to the car.
