I agree, my neighbor has a KIA electric which I drove. Ride is far better than my MY, but hat doesn't take much. The ride in the 2021 MY is about the same as my old 2008 jeep wrangler which was pretty bad. The KIA has too many buttons, although I would like a few more in the Y. I prefer a door...

Since only use about 65% of the max range is used when on the road I would like to see about 400+ miles max range and more charger locations. 400 miles max at hwy speed would probably reduce to about actual 320 miles and 65% is about 208 miles between stops. Although that would likely mean...

My problem with EV's has to do with number 5 on road trips. It's more a personal thing, but I find traveling in my 2021 MYLR is a bit of a PITA. I equate it to traveling when the speed limit was 55 MPH, while you might arrive more relaxed most people I knew hated the extra time it took to get...

I enjoyed my Jeep Wrangler SAHARA 4 DOOR. Terrible ride, only slightly worst than my 2021 MY, but it could handle any chuck hole as long as your back and teeth could handle it. Also got poor mileage. I drove it for 13 years w/o trouble until I finally traded it for the MY. If I had to do it...

I generally don't take my MY on road trips just because of the charging. While Tesla supercharger infrastructure is the best around it is still insufficient when coupled with lack of range in my opinion . I believe it will be 10-15 years before gets really solid. In the mean time it's a really...

I've been having some problems like that with my iPhone 13 pro. Perhaps starting last spring, sometimes need to get the phone out of my pocket and bring the app up. It was open in background just not up front. Hard to know if it was a Tesla software change or something with the phone. Now it...

Yes, I have problems from time to time. Phone no longer works well in the back pocket nor all the time in rain coat pocket. Most annoying when it's raining out. Could be a phone issue as I changed phones about a year and a half ago. I now have an iPhone 13 Pro. I don't think I ever had a...

I'll be glad if they can improve the auto wipers I don't mind them not coming on a fast as they should as I can push the button and they seem to wake up. What I can't tolerate is coming on when there is no rain or moisture; It happens way too frequently. I can understand some of the issues like...

I think they will get behind the curve. It's time consuming and expensive to build SC locations, plus the time needed to negotiate an agreement with the property owners needed to install them. With that said It may be a year or two before Tesla owners notice much difference, which depends how...

After two years of ownership I still don't feel comfortable taking my MY on long trips. When I check route planners I come away thinking that's way too much trouble. I don't want to go below 20% ( 1/4 tank in my gas car) and since you don't charge over 80% on the road unless you want to be there...

Not sure if this will be the same. I have a iPhone 13 Pro and use an Otterbox Commuter and it charges fine. Not sure how much the camera on yours sticks out compared to mine.

My free year ended July 2022 so I've been w/o since. While it's not a lot of money it does't seem to offer much. I don't play games, generally didn't use live view as felt map was too busy, and I preferred streaming XM from my phone. Also I drive almost exclusively around town as I personally...

Regarding the original post, I agree with the post. For me EV's are really not great for some road trips. Generally I'm trying to get to a destination and not a big fane of the extra time trips take with charging stops. I know for some it's no problem and that's fine; everyone is different. I...

I had it free for a year, but did not buy it once that free service was over. I found in that year I did not use satellite view while driving as I found it to be too busy and I did not use the music options provided. I stream XM from my phone, since I pay for xm in another vehicle the phone...

Tesla is way behind regarding safety warnings, although front warning seems to work very well. It indicates how many inches away from an object the car is.

I agree for general use particularly around town and for some trips there are great. Also I do love waking up to a full tank on electrons in the morning. One big advantage to the Tesla for me was the options for home charging. I had a 240v 20A circuit in my detached garage for a saw and it...

That's pretty good range; I don't get that on my MYLR. I recently took a trip 111 miles one way the first 70 on interstate the rest on highway. The interstate had construction so average speed was probable more like 60 mph, never went over 70. Highway was 55 mph, which was never exceeded. I...

I'm not disagreeing with what is being said here, but for me all the above are some of the reasons after owning my MY for just over a year I consider it a great around the town car, but not a road trip vehicle. More power to the those who like it and make it work, but for me it's a PITA. I don't...

Perhaps the car does it and my tire pressure has not gone down enough to trigger an alarm, but what would be nice is just getting an alert when tire pressure drops below a given level. Even my old 2008 jeep wrangler had that feature.

As do the Tesla can do no wrong Fanboys

That's true if you drive interstates, but get off the beaten path and it's a different ballgame. That's when I drive and ice vehicle.

I agree, The important thing is don't let the battery run totally down so if you don't drive often and might forget to charge it's better to keep it plugged in at home. I'm retired and don't need to charge daily. I charge every 2-3 days to 80% and wait until I'm down between 40-55% before...

I agree, also drop down menu selections should stay visible for longer so those of us who are not quick with steady fingers can make a selection before its disappears.

I have a MYLR since June 2021 and the ride while a bit bumpy is ok for me. However, I came from driving a 2008 Jeep wrangler unlimited for 13 years so my bar is fairly low. Our other vehicle is a 2019 highlander that rides much better. It has a much longer wheel base, non low profile tires and...

I like the idea of protecting those areas since they are hard to clean, but how much space is lost. I stick six packs and gallon jugs in them.

I thought I read that when temperatures were below a center level the windows cracked open so they wouldn't freeze to the top weather strip, perhaps I'm mistaken about that.

I have a 2021 MYLR. A number of times I leave the garage and once getting to 40 MPH I notice road noise. Checking I find the rear windows are cracked about 1/4 inch or so. I assume they were auto opened because overnight temperature dropped. It doesn't happen every time there is low temp...

While I love driving my MYLR when charging on trips starts to become too much of the trip I switch to my ICE VEHICLE.. NO STRESS!

They also need to enlarge the size of some selection buttons that pop up and the time they stay visible. When I need to set the wipers by a quick push of the button the selection options show up on the screen but are small and by the time I can focus and get my finger moving to the selection I...

The bigger problem is it can scratch the windshield.

I also have the pillar camera issue. Sometimes from moisture and sometimes from sun. The other camera that doesn’t work well is the one for the auto wiper.

Mine also come on with no rain plus sometimes don't come on in a light drizzle. Had to switch them from auto to manual. They have only been around for 20+ years; you would think they could get it right. Perhaps camera control doesn't work well for everything.

I agree, if they would provide the ability to add many of the functions like seat heaters, defrost wipers as icons it would be great. They could be added and removed by season. I'd also like the icons to be a bit larger and allow more of them to be displayed at a time. They have the space.

They aren't the best looking but I do like some of the direct functions. Interior lights, rear seat heaters, glove box maybe and wipers if they had it would be for me the most useful. It's a function that does not work correctly at least in my MY.

For me wipers are still a problem. I had left them on auto and while they didn't always come on right away or at the correct speed it was not good but ok. However they also came on a number of times when they was no rain and the windshield was dry. Since I didn't want to get my windshield...

Just for info, I just got a iPhone 13 Pro yesterday and it seems to charge just fine in my 20921 MYLR with the newer console. It works w/o a case and with a Otterbox Commuter case installed.

The cameras are somewhat wide angle, which make objects look smaller and further away. I found the same issue when I pull out to pass. So I continue to use mirrors and look over my shoulder as I think the Blind Spot Monitoring system is pretty useless. Fortunately after 59 years of driving...

As I stated, I'm not sure that is true. I unplugged my WiFi cable going to my detached garage but still got an upgrade. When I check for Wi Fi with a phone app with the cable disconnected I get a notice indicating no WIFI is detected. So unsure how it got upgraded.

I left a retail car running with A/C on at the parking lot in Durango Co while riding the train to Silverton. At least I had locked the car. 7 1/2 hours later I returned and the car was still running. Luckily I had fill the gas because it was down about 1/2 tank..

I tried Chill mode once. While some may like it; I felt It it was like driving a 1950's Chev with a Power Glide transmission. You stepped on the throttle and waited for something to happen. I immediately when back to Standard mode. If you like it use, good that it's an option.

Perhaps Tesla should make the software upgrades like those from computer companies. On my MAC OS I can and do elect to not upgrade right away; I have the option. I sometimes wait 6mo to a year so I can avoid the initial bugs, waiting until they are fixed. That way the car stays the way it was...

I'm not a fan of most of the changes made. I agree that allowing functions to be added the the bottom bar on the screen would fix many of the problems. Personally, perhaps because of age, I would like larger fonts, selection boxes and the Icons at the bottom of the screen. For instance the...

Some may like it, but I don't fine the Blind Spot Monitor to be very useful. It forces me to take my eyes off the road too long to view the screen to see what's going on and I fine the image is a bit misleading as vehicles seen in the camera view look further away than they really are. That's...

I completely agree, wish I had read all these comments before the update.

I think I'd first want to know what it does.

I agree with all your comments. I wonder if they ever drive these cars in cold climates and rainy areas.

What he giving up? There are no helpful new features. I'm wishing I had not up graded.

The one thing other brands have going for them is having buttons for functions - they can't move the buttons on you. Although I guess they could change button function.

I finally drove my Y forth first time since the upgrade and all I can say is WHY! Do they sit around trying to figure out how to make features less convenient? About the only positive is the Blind Spot Monitoring, which is probably the best that could be done after blowing the originally...

Unfortunately I updated before reading this. Haven't driven since the upgrade, but from what I'm reading here it sounds like a big step backward. I haven't heard anything that out ways the negatives at least for me. I'm not in a big hurry to experience it. They seem to have made a number of...
