I can’t disagree with your sentiments, however one would expect that they have the replacement technology ready to go before implementing any changes. It’s shameful that they have adopted this approach.

Sergio!

Had my first episode of phantom braking yesterday on the A55. Straight road, 70mph on autopilot and a van enters the entry slip road - not moving onto the main carriageway and my car suddenly fully slams the brakes on. I expect the driver of the car following me headed home for a change of...

Here you go- Tessories Matte Wheel Covers for Model Y (#TM0077A)

To further mitigate my wheel damage paranoia, I fitted these caps that also cover the rims of my Gemini wheels.

The border is parallel to the side of the car. Place the piece of tape at the bottom of the windscreen so it appears adjacent to the border when you are seated in your normal driving position

I kept the wheels of my Q5 pristine over four years, but had a near miss with the MY as I’ve found it quite difficult to accurately judge where the near side wheels are. Remembering an old driving instructors trick, I positioned the car in my drive with the nearside wheel adjacent to a border...

I’m occasionally finding myself going a bit quick due to the car’s performance and lack of engine noise feedback, so because the car doesn’t have a speed limiter I activated the speed warning option. However, I’ve never been able to hear the warning sound when travelling above the set speed...

I share your worries even though I have the Gemini wheels. Just fitted these caps which protect the wheel rims

I have bought a phone holder for my MY and now use Siri and Apple maps from the phone. Defeats the object somewhat, but less frustrating than the crap UI in the Tesla.

My wipers seem to have a mind of their own when set to Auto. They activate when there is no rain and went crazy when driving into low sun on a dry day. I had a visit from a Tesla technician today to adjust a slightly out of alignment headlight and when I asked him about the wiper issue he said...

My 2018 Audi Q5 had the majority of the requests in this thread working seamlessly. Two weeks into my Model Y, I love the driving experience but it feels as though a lot of the the UI technology is style over substance. I’d rather Tesla prioritised their development resources to have fully...

After a full week of ownership I agree with most of your comments and would also add that phone integration is particularly poor. Navigation is not great so I’ve bought a phone mount so I can use Waze or Apple Maps on my phone instead of Tesla / Google mapping. Whilst I like driving the car...

Looks good. I picked mine up last week and have the same issue with one of the headlights not being quite flush. Got a service visit booked for next week to sort it out - why compromise when spending nearly £60K on a a car? Hopefully they will also be able to advise on how to get a decent ring...
