20+ Reasons why I love my 2023 Model S LR more than my 2022 Model Y Performance
1 - Ride Quality - I came from a 22 Model Y Performance into a 2023 Model S. The main reason for the switch was the ride quality. Love the MYP but it rode like a donkey cart. The ride in the S is way better. Smoother and more comfortable and the air suspension is adjustable.
2 - Quieter - The S is also quieter using double pane glass in front and back.
3 - Steering Wheel - The yoke was too fat and clunky. Got a regular wheel. Got used to no stalks in one drive though hate that there is no center horn.
4, 5, 6 - Screens - The 17" Screen is amazing especially all the gesture control but more importantly the center Dashboard screen is perfect. I didn't realize how much missed one til I had it back. It has everything I need in one beautiful place. Rear Screen - May not use it much but nice to know its there but provide entertainment to rear passengers
7 - Room - The Y has more room and was worried about the room in S but because it is a hatchback it has a huge amount of space with the rear seats down and you even get room behind the front seats when they are down which is fantastic for quick grab supplies while driving
8 - Sirius - I love Sirius and the S has it and the Y does not.
9 - Luxury - It is more luxurious on the inside and the center console layout is great. Loved the rear seat console with phone chargers built in
10 - Ventilated cool seats. Yes they work great
11 - Range - Best feature? The range. I just drove from Vermont to NYC today with no stops and still had 30 per cent when I got here. And the computer range estimating seems more accurate than in my Y. I left showing 30 per cent when I arrived and it was right on. Never got that on the Y. Always predicted short
12 - Tilted screen - It just makes sense
13 - Homelink is built in and not an option
14 - a Clearer glass roof
15 - 22 speaker premium sound system
16 - swipe to drive is fun
- Larger rear screen display
- GEO location for suspension remembers to raise and lower suspension at specific locations
- Ambient Lighting
- Active Noise cancellation - meh
- Lumbar support on driver AND passenger seat
Good luck
