Your next spaceship, I mean, car.

I've owned a performance and long range Y for several years. The easiest way to describe the Model Y is, like a spaceship. You haven't driven anything that will come remotely close to how this thing feels to effortlessly zip around. It makes driving actually fun again. But, the best thing of all? Your garage is your "gas station". Wake up every morning to over 300 miles of range, never have to go to dirty and dangerous gas station again. For road trips, Superchargers are literally everywhere, and all you have to do is enter your destination into the nav and the car will figure out the stops for you. The range plentiful and is not an issue at all, and the Supercharger stops are 30-45 minutes while you eat. Love this car.

No Regrets... It's just awesome.

Have owned/driven our Model Y AWD Long Range since March 30th, 2020 and I love it. Although this is a very early build I have had no serious issues with it. The "Tesla" badge on the rear deck lid was missing the little stripe that goes across the top but I left it that way to be unique. I think we just crossed 40,000 miles recently. Just onto the second set of tires. Charge at home 99% of the time but a decent bit of road trips between the Twin Cities and Chicago on it.

The pride of ownership

The Tesla Model Y has been one of my best purchases; it delivers an exhilarating driving experience while ensuring the safety of my family. With regular software updates, the car continuously improves and offers luxury quality at a price comparable to that of a Toyota RAV4. The Model Y features a large screen for entertainment and navigation, as well as one of the finest car audio systems on the market. The pride of ownership truly sets it apart from its competitors.

Best EV, fun/easy/infortainment is amazing

Fantastic car with software updates that improve the car. Best car I've ever driven! Infotainment is amazing - never miss android or carplay. Watching Netflix/youtube in the car makes me want to take my lunch break in the car every day (so I bought a car tray to do just that!)

Best car I have ever owned!

Stupid cool and economical car to drive. Best car I have ever had. The private charging network is so much better than Non Tesla chargers. This is the best selling car in the EU for a reason.

Awesome for high mileage and family road trips

We’ve put about 44K miles on our 2021 Model Y in less than two years, and aside from a deer impact that was fixed quickly by a Tesla Collision Center, the only issue was a rattle in the front left suspension. The cabin and storage space is quite a bit more than one might expect, making it a comfortable vehicle for road tripping with a family of five. We also use the tow hitch receiver (ordered with the car) for a rack with up to four mountain bikes. We ordered FSD and have had fun watching its progress; it is now useful to us in a number of scenarios. Besides performing quite nicely, the Model Y is very efficient, especially for a vehicle of its size, which helps with already low electricity costs. We are almost ready to replace the OEM Continental tires, after quite a bit of use in the mountains, on dirt roads, and in snow. Also, for road trips in North America, the Tesla Supercharger network is very convenient and is growing faster than all other EV charging networks combined.

Best car for the money

I bought my Model Y in September 2022. I drove 20.000 miles in the last 7 months with it and love everything about it. I charge it every night at home and have a full battery every morning.

Hands down the best car we've owned.

The best car we've owned by literally every metric. Buying a second Model Y this summer. I have no idea why anyone would buy anything else.

Best car I’ve ever owned by far

Model Y is fantastic. I bought the car primarily for the best-in-class safety features, including Full Self Driving (FSD) and have definitely NOT been disappointed. When used appropriately (as a driver assist), FSD is a marvel & is constantly being improved. It makes driving in heavy traffic much less stressful and long distance driving less tiring. What I didn’t expect was the huge difference Model Y’s very fast acceleration makes—super easy to ramp up speed to merge onto highway, avoid hazards, etc. After a year’s ownership, I very much recommend a Tesla!!

Best Car Ever!!!

Best car I have ever owned and the only car I bought brand new. I have also owned 5 Pre-Owned Certified Porsches in my life and this car is by far the best. Technology off the harts; over the air updates; performance unreal (faster than my 2016 911); safest car on the road; super comfortable and quiet. Never having to pump gas again will change your life.
