Such a shame they decided to make it wider. That rules it out for me, not only is it a problem for the width of my garage but I find the Model 3 wide enough as it is on the fairly narrow roads around here and oncoming vehicles seemingly unable to stay their side of the centre line...

Interior I quite like except for the hideous steering wheel and no stalks. As for the exterior, it’s one of the laziest refreshes I’ve ever seen. Overall, somewhat disappointing.

I don’t have FSD. What benefit do I get from seeing a huge animated version of my car on the screen showing me what it’s doing, when I already know what it’s doing? Especially when this means the map is now smaller? I genuinely don’t see any benefit over the previous layout.

Not liking the new screen layout, I now have a huge white largely blank (except for the irritatingly large, distracting proximity indicators) space staring at me and a significantly smaller map area. And why a smaller font for your speed? Bring on adjustable section sizes. I do like the...

Agree with others. They’re better than a year ago but basically still crap.

The fact that there are still cars being offered to customers with numerous obvious faults is an absolute disgrace after three years of production. The £7.5k Hyundai i10 I bought 5 years ago was delivered with zero faults of any kind. Tesla needs to up its game here or there will be big problems...

Have third party chargers been implemented yet for UK?

I'm confident genuine FSD is years away. Right now their adaptive cruise control isn't even as good as our £17k Seat Ibiza!

Until the non-Tesla charging networks expand massively and become more reliable I wouldn’t consider any EV other than a Tesla. I wouldn’t be willing to risk being left high and dry on a long trip. But the Polestar 2 is a nice package. I had a good look at one last year at Fully Charged Live.

The wipers are now much better than they were last September. But still nowhere near as good as the type you get on other cars. Not sure they can do much more with the camera based system. As for autopilot, it’s a mixed bag. Often, as others have said, it feels like a nervous Nelly learner is...

I’d like to see a higher incentive for EVs under £30k.

Was tempted until I found out it’s 2 inches wider than the 3 and has no parcel shelf. Plus who knows what the price premium will be in the Uk. I’ll stick with the 3.

Yes autopilot is pretty mediocre in my opinion.

Yes it looks a bit unfinished at the sides of the rear seat. I guess it’s the same design for the 5 seat and 7 seat versions - the latter will have to be able to slide the rear seats forward to access the third row. I’d assumed it would be the same as the model 3 for the 5 seat Y. Plus the large...

It’s a bizarre decision not to have a parcel shelf of pull out cover. I was also surprised to see the Y is a couple of inches wider than a 3. Not much but enough to make it much harder to get in and out of my garage.
