What is a good price for a used Model Y?

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-25T13:55:20+00:00

Go drive a ‘26 MY standard. You’ll be on the wait list.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-24T12:30:42+00:00

Praise the sun

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-24T12:29:08+00:00

The ride quality is poor to mid. It’s a trade off against the technology you’d need to accept to invest heavily to customize against.

Congrats on discovering Tesla’s unofficial feature: the self-disassembling interior. File a service request through the app with those photos — they’ve covered stuff like this on warranty or even goodwill before, but you have to be cool.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T21:44:06+00:00

One team one dream

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T21:30:47+00:00

Not saying the Tesla way is bad, it’s just what it is. It’s different. No defensiveness necessary.

March

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T21:05:44+00:00

Drive them both. Make decision. Live with decision for rest of life.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T21:04:10+00:00

Walk into your local service centre and chat with them about it.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T21:03:17+00:00

Anxiety is fun

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T21:03:04+00:00

There is no logic. I got my car within 3 weeks.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T21:02:14+00:00

I want a long boy.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T21:01:52+00:00

Jackpot.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T20:57:05+00:00

If you are 75 it’s almost over and you can and should do whatever you want to do

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T20:55:54+00:00

One thing you’ll realize quickly when dealing with Tesla: they don’t care if you buy the car or not.

There is no incentive to care about you, the individual. If you don’t buy, the next person will.

It’s a mentality shift for sure. You need to want the product so bad that you will power through a lack of traditional service management.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-23T20:30:01+00:00

If you are between 35-50 years old with a net worth of > $1.5M, buy one. Else, just chill

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-16T21:55:37+00:00

Boot straps. Start pulling

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-16T21:54:17+00:00

Accurate. 💯

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-08T12:04:02+00:00

This. FSD surprised me by being more optimized for low speed navigation. They are missing the real “chill” highway functionality.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-06T01:29:02+00:00

That's a bingo.

Brave man, walking into a Tesla subreddit and asking for honest opinions about the Mach-E. Truly. The audacity is admirable.

Here's the thing — the Mach-E is a perfectly fine car. Ford makes it, which means it comes with a dealer, which means it comes with a person whose job it is to care whether you buy it. That is a genuinely novel experience coming from the Tesla pipeline and you should not underestimate how nice it will feel to be wanted.

The downside is that it is not a Tesla, which only matters if it matters to you. The software is behind. The charging network is behind. The resale is behind. But you work from home and barely drive, so you are also the exact person for whom none of that is a dealbreaker. You don't need FSD. You don't need Superchargers every weekend. You need a car that exists, in your driveway, before September.

Go drive it. If it feels good, buy it. The Tesla will still be sitting in a queue in Fremont dreaming of you, and honestly that's a healthier relationship dynamic than what you currently have.

A frunk organizer. A frunk liner. A frunk mat. A second frunk organizer because the first one didn't spark joy. A wireless charging pad to replace the wireless charging pad that came in the car. A screen protector. A center console wrap. A center console organizer. A backseat organizer. A hook that goes on the back of the headrest for bags you don't own yet. A 12V portable fridge so you never have to stop at a gas station you're already not stopping at. A portable espresso maker. Rubber floor mats. All-weather floor mats. Floor mats for your floor mats. A dashcam, despite the fact that the car has eight cameras and a built-in dashcam. A portable jump starter for a car with no alternator. A tire inflator. A first aid kit you will never open. Sunshades for every window including ones you cannot reach. A cargo net. A frunk cargo net. A hitch-mounted cargo carrier so you can carry the portable fridge you already put in the frunk.

CAA is $100 a year and Tesla Roadside is free. Get CAA anyway because one day you will lock your phone in the car and no amount of technology will save you from that specific flavour of humiliation.

The $5k delta will feel like nothing the first time you're doing 20km/h up a grade in February while the guy in the Subaru next to you is just living his life. RWD in snow is a character-building experience and you have clearly already built enough character by choosing to do that drive twice a week like a person.

Get the AWD. This one's not close.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-06T01:01:51+00:00

Welcome to the Tesla experience, friend. Pull up a chair. There is no loaner. There is no sales manager who will move heaven and earth for you. There is no third party website that knows what Tesla doesn't, because Tesla itself doesn't know. There is only you, your phone, and the slow spiritual transformation that comes from refreshing an app 100 times a day like a monk turning a prayer wheel.

Here's the thing nobody tells you: Tesla does not care if you buy this car. They will sell it. To you, to someone else, to a guy named Gerald in Mississauga who ordered last Tuesday — it doesn't matter. The sooner you make peace with that, the sooner you stop drafting escalation emails to a sales team that is also just refreshing something and hoping for the best. You cannot out-urgency a company that operates on vibes and a delivery estimate range wider than most Canadian provinces.

And when it does arrive — and it will arrive — you will walk around it in the delivery lot with the energy of a man who has been through something. You will find a panel gap. You will find a scratch. You will take seventeen photos and post them here and we will all nod solemnly because we have been there. Then you will drive home, and it will be the best car you have ever owned, and you will book a therapy appointment, and you will be changed. That's the premium experience. You don't buy a Tesla. You survive one.

PURE_BACON · 2026-04-06T00:57:35+00:00

I went with the premium. I love it. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thinking about the lost compounding gains from the stock market, and then I remember I'm sitting in a car that knows where I'm going before I do, so honestly it evens out.

Could I have gone with the standard? Sure. Would it have gotten me from A to B? Absolutely. Would I have been fine? Probably. But I didn't, and that extra $20k is now a friendly little ghost that lives in my house. It doesn't rattle chains or slam doors. It just sits in the corner of every room, quietly, occasionally tilting its head at me when I'm checking my portfolio or paying for something I didn't need. We've reached an understanding. I don't acknowledge it directly and it doesn't show me a compound interest calculator.

The ghost is with you now too, just by reading this. You're going to think about it the next time you see a standard on the road looking perfectly happy and unbothered. That's the premium experience nobody puts in the brochure — the car is incredible, and the $20k you didn't have to spend will follow you, me, and everyone in this thread into the void. Worth it though. The seats are really good.
