2022 Tesla Model Y

Oh no. I’m had a mixed experience with my Model Y, but today’s Tesla price cut has sent me over the top enough to leave a review. I took delivery in November after arguing with Tesla over flaws in the car they delivered me. They assured me they would be fixed after delivery - but they’re still not fixed. I find the car generally fine, the big screen is nice. But Tesla just reduced the price of what I got by $13,000. No doubt the value of my (broken) car just dropped. I feel like I was ripped off.

My Tesla Model Y LR has been a major disappointment. I have experienced the phantom braking issue several times, and at least once it almost led to an accident when the person following my was just able to swerve to avoid rear ending me. Each time it's also knocked my coffee all over the dash. I've had a variety of mechanical problems and Tesla service is abysmal - the appointments are weeks out and their repairs have been faulty at time. Otherwise, I find the ride to be rough and I am very uncomfortable in the seat. My husband thinks its quick, but that's useless for my commute. For the price I paid for this car, and having come from an Audi Q5 which cost less, this thing is cheaply made and the interior is like an Ikea cafeteria. I would not buy Tesla again.

I waited months to received my Tesla Model Y with great excitement. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed the way the car drove, it has proven to be a complete disaster. I had a drive unit fail, stranding me at the supermarket. Separately, numbers electric glitches have afflicted the car, it rattles constantly and body pieces have literally fallen off. Finally, the range has been disappointing especially in the cold. It is nowhere near the advertised number. Overall, it's a loose, unreliable rocketship, which isn't confidence inspiring. I can't wait to unload it, but even resale values have cratered.
