JKY 78 Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 Considering moving over to Tesla and wanted to know everyone's thoughts on the Model Y? Quote
George Low Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 I love my Model Y and have driven it for 35,000 kilometres so far. My one biggest grip would be the volatile pricing. I paid $82,900 for my Tesla and considered this a great deal as it was listed for as high as $99,000, however, you can now get this exact model new for $74,290. I'm normally quite careful to buy only cars with high resale values because I'm too fickle to usually keep a car longer than a couple of years so this stings a lot. Tesla claims a zero-to-100 kilometre an hour acceleration of 3.7 seconds for the Model Y Performance, but my car is not so quick when the battery is not fully charged. One thing I do love is a couple of years ago, my wife and I were spending about $1,000 a month on gas, and now ourr two cars cost about $80 a month in electricity. The 15-inch screen is a wonderful thing when the car is parked because it really does transform the vehicle into a living room. I catch up on my favourite Netflix series while waiting for my son at sports practice: The car is kept warm without needing to idle, and the surround-sound is phenomenal. There's definite downs to the model Y.. but on the whole I love mine. Quote
