I am on the Tesla website now looking at a model Y long range. Up front I did not have a very good model 3 experience with a car full of production / failure issues. I did however like the style and charging infrastructure. But now that I have a second chance to buy and at 6 foot 4 I was on the comfort limits of the model 3 for long trips. I think the Y potentially looks like the more comfortable long term solution because its more upright seating position. So I have some practical questions before I commit to a model Y or an EV6 being a past owner of EV's.
Has the vision based system with no radar been just fine for lane keeping and less phantom breaking? I have none of these issues using a Kia Sportage Diesel with the same features as a fill in until I can get hold of an EV. It keeps to the lane without going off down another road sporadically. Kind of wish they had an EV version of that but not for some time. Solid car though no issues using its road and car following technology.
Did you pick the car up with no issues? I expect this for a car worth 50K I expect an employee of the company to give it a multi point pre delivery inspection actually so I do not have to drive it back the next day with obvious unfun discoveries.
How is the range compared to what was expected? I suppose UK winter stats are what I am looking for. For me it shows 331 miles WLTP? Should I expect 250 miles enjoying all the car has for long trips? I ask this to you because there is no other variable apart from WLTP. Only experience with Y would really get me close to working out this one.
When I commit I have to wait until September now which is fine but I want to also lay down what I expect as a customer and are the model Y's coming out in 2022 in good shape day one. I want a good pickup experience this time. This is shaped by experience so far and I want to know have Tesla listened at all and addressed this? I ask people here not the customer service / sales or Youtube videos. The passionate users!
