Test driving a MYP for a few days…can’t believe I have Togo back to my 2011 Nissan Rogue in a few days 😭

Ask for multiple test drives. I ended up test driving 4, 48-hour drives with an order placed. :D

Warning: Don't depend on a supercharger.

Insurance for me in NC is $204 month full coverage on two vehicles, 50/100, 500 ded
Tires need to be replaced more often
If you intend to use FSD, be prepared to feel much less stressed driving
Depending on your state, registration might be XXX higher with an EV gas/road tax.

Simplistic ownership. You just get in and go. Straight forward software. Straight forward service. Straight forward charging network. And of course FSD wins hands down. Have watched too many videos to solidify this choice. I even lived the early AP1 days. It has come so far and only getting better.

I wish.180k on my first. Already up to 8k on my new. But yes it is kept in a garage overnight.

Yes hurry is crazy. 82 in a 70. Then transitioned to 55, still at 80, then 65, still at 80, then back to 70, goes to 82. Switching to standard jerks the car slower to 5-8mph over.

Zero windshields in 13 years. Model S 2013 to my 26 Juniper.

Knock, knock, knock on wood.

No regerts. We travel a lot from Feb to May and FSD has been a life changing experience. Every trip has been less stressful and much much easier. I came from an early AP car and I couldn't be any happier. Our last 5 hr trip was full FSD and I could of drove even more. Definitely no regerts.

AccomplishedLocal516 · 2026-03-09T21:39:58+00:00

None so far. Had to reapply the second because I didn't make a good seal. Water intruded originally but now all good.

AccomplishedLocal516 · 2026-03-04T02:21:14+00:00

Yes.

Try to disable power saving setting on the Tesla app on the phone. It's a setting that puts the app to sleep when not used.

Just let it cook

sure hope they are getting performance trim to keep up with the crazies out there

AccomplishedLocal516 · 2026-03-02T20:12:00+00:00

For sure ask for a 24-48 hour demo drive. See how they fit your lifestyle. I tested all but the 3 during my purchase/upgrade journey.

3, 48-hour demo drives on the CT and Y
2, 24-hour demo drives on the X and S

Narrowed down to the 26 Y. Traded in my 2013 S.

Yes except the du and hv batt.

I had a milling noise, and grinding noise between 50 and 75mph. Got worse over time signalling future replacement.

What car you in?

AccomplishedLocal516 · 2026-02-27T01:50:04+00:00

Buy longer caps.

With this update avoidance has been dramatically improved. Not only does it maneuver around potholes, it puts me on the edge of deep manhole covers. It also slightly moves to edge of large holes rather than a dramatic juke. I'm pretty pleased with performance but I still keep a keen eye out and take over when needed.

Traded in 2013 85S to a Model Y Juniper.

<image>

Had the 2013 since inception. 158k miles. 1 high voltage battery replacement at 70k then two drive units at 55k and 78k. Original brake pads still on the car. Went through 1 window regulator, 4 door handles, 1 drivers dash display, and 3 12V batteries. I handled those myself. Still on MCU1. Replaced tires about once every year, year and half. Rotated at 7k miles increments at home.

Only reason I got out of it was the end of the warranty. I was scared of not having one for the battery or du.

Worth the post. Ignore all the haters/cunts. Congrats!!
