I am looking to buy an SUV and am considering a few cars. The Tesla Model Y is one of the cars in my shopping list. So, today I tested the Tesla Model Y and found it has great features. However, I am specifically looking to know your experience with driving the Tesla Y car above 55mph on the highway as I use the highway almost daily. I drive a German car that is now 10 years old and I think it is a bit noisy now especially on the highway. What is your experience with Tesla?
Question is are you looking for electric or gas? There are way better reliable, suspension, luxury gas cars than model Y If you want electric suv, then you have limited options and model Y is no brainer. I like the Kia EV6 but it doesn’t qualify for tax credit
I am open to both electric or gas. Looking for a comfortable drive on highways.
It is hard then Tesla + Good feel because everything is fresh dashboard/moonroof/ tesla car app, safety features, simpler driving due to regenerative auto brakes, sprinty - You always feel it is less luxury car.. seats, the way window glass closes etc. bumpy ride, highway noise which you get used to after a while. Blind spot camera I use only while merging highways, other times I find it not useful.
As long as you are driving local and freeway it is great. If you do country side or roads that need a lot of traction that is where Model Y gets uncomfortable. And I am not talking about charging anxiety just driving comfort

Highest selling crossover in the world. Period. If you're in the US, you don't even need to worry about charging, superchargers are everywhere
What great features did you find in Model Y kind sir?
Maybe ask the 800k people who bought it last year? 🤔
Best purchase I have made. It has made my life easier on highways
I dont know how people qualify for the tax credit especially with blind TCs. Am I missing something. But yeah even if you dont qualify, its a great car.
As you called out highway noise, in my experience Tesla Y is more noisy on highways than my German Audi
There's no engine noise to block highway noise
It’s not engine noise, I feel overall noise isolation is not good in Tesla. I like the way it drives, instant acceleration & no gas or maintenance expense but apart from that Audi is much better in all aspects
It’s the best selling car in the world for a reason. If you qualify for tax credit it’s a no brainer
In the world? You realize the world is not just USA right?
