2021 Tesla Model Y Customer Reviews

Pros

• Cabin Noise

  super quiet, sometimes I have to remember I’m driving

• Ride and Handling

  performance version rides smooth and sporty meaning handling corners and turns well

• Interior Space

  so much room and space

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment

  I’m coming from Apple CarPlay, sometimes I wish my phone automatically connected but it’s not a deal breaker and I’ve adjusted

Pros

• Cost to Maintain

  in comparison to the amount of money and finances that I allocated to my previous hybrid Honda Accord to my Tesla is an absolute incredible amount of savings I have seen. The absence of consistent worry of oil changes, engine, maintenance, and various other components that demands attention in comparison to my previous vehicle, this is such a wonderful ease of mine to simply be concerned of tire rotation, and health and possible battery maintenance, which I have not heard or ever experience. Which is ultimately predicated on being mindful of proper care of the vehicle.

• Fuel Economy

  there are simply no comparison to the amount of money that I have saved from only this Tesla. With my home installed Tesla battery charger and solar panels on my own the warrior fuel in the cost of fuel is nonexistent.

• Ride and Handling

  This vehicle ride absolutely incredible!!!

Cons

• Value

  For the amount of perks and capabilities that this vehicle has in reference to the amount that I paid for is an absolute amazing deal

• Power

  The fact that this vehicle is designed like a family SUV, but has the power of a Ferrari is simply phenomenal

• Cabin Noise

  The only minor critique I could think is during long travels. I suddenly hear small cabin noises, but it is very small and barely detectable.

Cons

• Value

  The price of Tesla's has gone up (like everything else) this year, but I expect they will drop back down once the Federal Rebate program starts in January.

Pros

• Interior Space

  space, safety, economy, low maintenance, warranty

• Seat Comfort

• Fuel Economy

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  $10/mo of electricity vs. $165/mo of gas.

• Power

  Instant acceleration, even in Chill mode. Sport mode pins you to the back of your seat.

• Cabin Noise

  Very quiet. Hardly any road or wind noise.

Cons

• Ride and Handling

  Performance model has some stiff suspension. Still a good ride, but it’s not luxury.

• Visibility

  Visibility out the back and blind spots is low. All the cameras do help. You can’t see the hood while driving, so you need to rely on sensors while maneuvering in tight places.

• Technology and Entertainment

  Full Self-Driving (FSD) is still in beta at the time of writing this, and really isn’t ready for primetime. So, don’t buy this car for FSD. I’m sure it’ll be amazing at some point, just not now.
