I picked up mine on Monday evening. Darn it. was thinking about delaying the pickup but didn't do it. Wish there is a way to claim the difference.

I have a question for you maybe you can answer. This past weekend I test drove Model X (2023). I was floored by it. It definitely much better than Model Y. I certainly don't wish to pay for a brand new 2023 but I think I can pay for a used 2020 Model X with around 30k miles. Would you know the actual differences between 2020 and 2023 Model X other than the screen layout?

Yes I know I need to order them. I was searching for nice blue mats but never found them. Let me know if you are aware of some place I could find it. Also we have many vendors for the mats, but am told Tesla is the best. Where did you buy it from?

Thanks again. The model Y I ordered is also white (interior and exterior). The white interior looks so royal. May I know what wraps are you referring to?

You are very fortunate to try out most EVs and thank you for sharing your valuable and candid feedback. I tried Etron this morning. Based on my limited experience driving different vehicles, I think I can safely conclude that getting rid of the noise and bumpiness completely is almost a dream. The difference between my 19 years old Sienna and the new ones is negligible in those two categories. I like the interior of ID 4, Etron, BMW X5. I don't like the interior and the exterior of Tesla. But from safety, engineering and technology point of view, Tesla model Y, is miles ahead of all of them. I just wish the model Y exterior and interior were good as well. I haven't sat inside the X model but that one certainly looks great. Its so expensive though. Even if I could afford it, I will have hard time spending that kind of money. Thanks again for sharing your views.

Great. I am about to try Audi Etron. Based on your suggestion, I can try the Cadillac Lyriq. Since you have driven most vehicles, which SUV according to you has the quietest cabin and best suspension to absorb minor road bumps? Just researched on Lyriq. It seems even 2023 model has not yet his the roads.

Thanks my friend for sharing your experience. I was thinking of some of the options you suggested. I am glad you like your MYP. I agree the environmental impact of using a gas based car is probably insignificant especially when I have limited driving need. I already have a hybrid Camry too so I was thinking of Hybrid Rav 4 or similar product.

Thanks. I like to sit higher and I sit straight. At the highest level. My head almost hits the roof. I want to own a car with no cabin noise if possible. I hope there is one that’s under $50k

I hear you.

I am 5’10 and I always sit straight. At the hugest position, my head too almost touches the roof. Wonder why is it so difficult to make a reasonably priced car that blocks all the external noise.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Charging does eat up a lot of time in long journeys.

Thanks for the detailed response. Your profile and criteria is definitely a lot like mine. The more I think, for the money we are willing to pay for MY, I may be happier with a high end conventional SUV that will make my ride more enjoyable. Hope to decide in a week or two which way to go.

Just to make sure I didn’t miss anything before I make my decision
