This has been the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. Unfortunately Elon went bananas and this is dragging down the popularity and value for these vehicles. It is a great car for road trips, the Tesla charging network always works. The car has not given me any problems in 24,000 miles driven. I love the simplicity and honestly I do not miss the lack of buttons. I charge it at home and leave the house every day with a "full tank". One pedal driving is great. I subscribe to Full Self Driving which is now very good. Power is fantastic, could have a slightly softer suspension but the seats are some of the most comfortable I have ever had in a car.

First, I am a believer in Tesla and have been a fan since the beginning. I eagerly purchased my Model Y 4 years ago, as soon as I could get an allocation and picked it up directly from the factory. It has been a fantastic car and I have enjoyed driving it thoroughly. That being said, there are several significant quality defects that Tesla has declined to fix or provide assistance with in any manner that have led me to never want to purchase another car from them again. Namely the paint. The vehicle has extensive paint peeling, cracking, bubbling, and other de-lamination issues in numerous locations on the car. These issues are not related to normal wear and tear, such as rock chips on the front bumper or color fading due to sunlight over years of use. These problems represent a latent defect in the cars paint and its ability to adhere to the car that have clearly been going on since the car was manufactured. As an engineer, car enthusiast, and early adopter of the Model Y, I was aware that newly engineered vehicles may experience certain manufacturing-related issues. Tesla has been very good about fixing some of these issues. The HVAC had to be repaired twice in the first year and Tesla ended up replacing the entire system. No questions asked. However, when I reported this paint issue at my local Tesla dealer and service center, I was told that the car was out of warranty (by less than two weeks) and Tesla would not help resolve the problem. Furthermore, they said that there was no process in place to dispute a warrant claim and or talk to someone about extenuating circumstances. Following my visit to Tesla, I did a thorough inspection of the cars paint and have taken pictures of the most egregious examples of the defects that clearly show this is an issue of the paints improper and inconsistent application, and inability to adhere to the car properly. I also consulted a local body shop who showed me where the paint was applied unevenly. They also said that the numerous locations of paint peeling and flaking is due to improper cleaning and/or treatment of the car body prior to paint application, which results in the paints inability to adhere to the car body properly. Thus, it is clear that the paint issue impacts the entire care and happened during the manufacturing process and should be covered under the warranty. If this were the only major issue, I probably wouldn’t be writing this review, but more recently the FSD computer that runs all of the cruise control and auto pilot features stopped working completely. After conducting some research on my own and paying $260 for Tesla to confirm my diagnose, I discovered that the computer was toast and had to be replaced. A $2600 repair for a part that should have last ten years and has no reason to fail. Once again, I was stone walled by Tesla’s service center and told that this was a fairly common issue. It all seems a little hard to believe. There have been multiple times throughout this process that Tesla could have made things right and potentially kept me as a customer. I might have even stayed if their customer service was prompt and amicable but when you take into consideration the amount of time I have had to dedicated and all of the passive aggressive attitude that I have had to put up with throughout, there is no way I could ever go back. I would be going against my principles.
