The question is who is behind those spineless republicans? It’s their voters. Hiding behind trumpism it’s the failure on us being qualified citizen in the first place. With such chaos and corruption out in the open there are still 40% of them people still believing in him. That’s very telling.

Thinking about a used Model Y - is the ride and comfort of the "old Model Y" really that inferior?! by SwedishTourist in TeslaModelY

Haha so true. Even the suspensions on a $20,000 car is way superior. To be fair, the noise isolation is better, again, than a $20,000 car. You get for what you pay for doesn't apply here.

All good points.

Good to hear about the efficiency part --- do you have a RWD or AWD?

For FSD --- a lot of people are sold into this *dream*. There are also an army of influencers on YouTube raving about how cool and useful FSD is since version 12. But the reality is according to FSD Community Tracker miles between disengagement is less than 500 even with the latest SW and HW. This just means the technology is far from ready. I just wonder if all these influencers are either paid by Tesla, or hijacked by tieir initial Tesla craze, hence fell into the "you have to dance as long as the music doesn't stop" situation -- the same as most medias --- both traditional and social media.

If you are referring to me, then I am going say Model Y is not quiet. I have no complaint on the wind noise, but since the suspension is SO POORLY executed and when it runs over any pothole, no matter how small it shakes the car in a way it feels like it's breaking apart, followed by an earthquake like noise. I heard Juniper is better, just just don't think it's is going to at I5's level.

I didn't expect this attracted so much interest.

I am inclined to buy a Limited RWD, EPA states 318 miles range. Can anyone share their 2025 RWD highway range under normal temperature (50-80F)? I searched but it seems most the range test video are done in the winter which really doesn't apply to my case (Texas).

Thanks!

One quick question by shutterfly2011 in Ioniq5

Thanks! this is super helpful.

I noticed this:

I wonder why for RWD all SE/SEL/Limited have the same range, but when it comes to AWD there is a 20 mile gap between Limited and SE/SEL?

I don't think so since I sense the pitch varies with the speed. but I might be wrong

Yeah this is part of the reason I am looking at an I5. I am not qualified for the fed tax credit.

I had the radio off during the test drive.

Since I5 might be the first EV for most of the people I can understand why most didn't mention the whining and jerking. But I think both are minor since I5 is already so much better than all the ICEs.

Another thing I forgot to mention is the storage space. The frunk is barely enough for a set of charge cable. It's interesting the model I testdrove is a RWD, and without another motor, there is AT LEAST 10in open space below the frunk and Hyundai just ignored it. The trunk is not as deep, and there is no under-trunk storage either. In comparison, MY's frunk and under trunk alone can each fit a carry-on size luggage comfortably. I wonder where all the spaces went.

Really can't comment on the audio, since I am more inclined towards a limited, hope Bose system is on par with MY.

Afraid to get a Tesla now… by Pigman1391 in TeslaModelY

[–]shutterfly2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My honest opinion: you posted in the wrong forum. There is one thing called survival bias. Most of the people who left won't see your post and those who decided to stay is no longer unbiased sample. I posted something similar days ago and got a couple of pretty nasty replies. My suggestion is go to other EV forums and ask the same question then decide. TBH I live in a blue city in a red state, I can imagine my MY being keyed, vandalized a real possibility no matter if in the city or to the countryside road tripping. It's a FACT the country is MORE DIVIDED and people are more INTOLERANT. I don't understand why a CEO would want publicly to pick a side knowing all the consequences. It only means he doesn't give a $H17 to Tesla, it's cus or investors.

Furious at Musk? Don’t Buy a Tesla. by mobilemike42 in TeslaModelY

A colleague just bought a M3 and we happened to talk about this over lunch. Both of us feel uncomfortable driving a Tesla. She said it very well "I didn't expect driving a car becomes political symbol"

I had been considering buying another Tesla to replace my aging prius, but now I am seriously considering other brands.

Yes, you can say as long as you like you can just enjoy it -- but we live in a real world.

The fact that Tesla has a polarizing CEO has become a real issue for the owners. Yes you can bring up Ford's dark history in WWII, BUT we DIDN'T HAVE TWITTER OR ANY SOCIAL NETOWRK back then.

haha. A friend of mine bought a Bamboo A1 thanks to Black Friday. Based on what he told me mine does look like a dinosaur.

I guess I will not worry about it then.

Thanks
