    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    7.8k here in Canada for Tesla EAP. Add to the fact that most people keep cars for 5-7 years and Tesla EAP ends up costing more. Both are not worth it unless you drive a lot, but Tesla's EAP cost more and has more features whereas Blue cruise has less issues and is has hands free. I had both...

    Tesla Blind Spot Monitor

    Hyundai/Kia has the best implementation of this on some models. The camera in the gauge cluster plus noise alert and BSM light in mirror. Eyes are always forward and just a quick mirror check before changing lanes.

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    In Canada the pricing is close and I am surprised there isn't more demand for the Mach E. Mach E RWD is 4k cheaper than MY RWD, the AWD big battery is 2-3K more base cost, but add a paint colour and it's basically the same as MY LR I think the Y is superior but for people that don't care about...

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    Mine worked okay in the cars I had although it was not polished, but even if it was it still doesn't beat a manual input for simple things. The things voice are good at like navigation or controlling audio apps, most people are using android auto/carplay for anyways and it works better than...

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    I agree, adding additional shortcuts via steering wheel buttons helps. But the fact is people had to wait this long for things like wiper functionality(auto wipers still suck). They sometimes are trying to re-invent the wheel for no reason - a stalk with more inputs would have been an easier...

    New 2023 Tesla Model Y Owner

    Yeah your right. Maybe you should also remove your steering wheel because Tesla's big picture is everyone using autopilot and no manual inputs You don't remove stuff until you have a comparable alternative, period

    New 2023 Tesla Model Y Owner

    So one zero intervention video is suppose to override the countless others I have seen where it hangs up and has no idea what to do. I've seen it completely miss poles and pipes when backing up. I've seen dimensions so far off it might as well be randomized numbers. Also identified a broom as...

    Driving comparison against Audi Q5 on 20" wheels?

    The Model 3 suspension being so stiff fits the description of a sports sedan and isn't overly stiff compared to others in the segment like the 3-series (although I still find it more comfortable) The Model Y suspension does not really suit the segment and by comparison to rivals it is much more...

    Driving comparison against Audi Q5 on 20" wheels?

    I had a model 3 and I am looking at a Model Y. I have taken it out a few times on overnight test drives to check car seats, cargo space, etc. and to have my wife drive it in case we need to swap vehicles as I currently take her SUV for camping trips. I've driven a Q5 a few times and my wife...

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    So you normally have the 2nd row up and third row down. So it is 43.5 to 26.6 cu.ft (30.6 with frunk) Ascent vs Y. So it is 42% more space that is also a box shape vs a dome top, small side compartments, lower level storage and a small frunk (AKA not efficient space). There is more to cargo...

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    same volume with no one in the back two rows. Anytime else and it is not. So not the same 95% of the time, while also being more square in shape (rather than sloped), making it easier to pack and effectively more space. A dome like area with side spaces and under storage is not the same as a...

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    I didn't realize you are hauling family stuff without a family in the vehicle... The most important cargo space is behind the 2nd row then behind the 3rd row, Ascent has more room. 43.5/17.8 vs 26.6/12.8. Wow 3" more 2nd row legroom (the only dimension of this type the MY wins), yet over...

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    The link numbers are referencing space behind the Model Y 2nd row vs the ascent 3rd row. It was for you to get a sense of the size difference. The numbers I posted are correct from manufacturers and somewhat verified on review sites (motortrend shows more space for the ascent). Tesla is wide...

    Mach-E and my Y. Side by Side pics

    Only with all seats down where it's close? 2nd row 26.6 vs 43.5 3rd row 12.8 vs 17.8 Leg room 3rd row 26.5 Vs 31.7 Not to mention the better hip and shoulder space in all rows. It's just flat out more room and more space. Heck just look at the size difference...

    Does this imaginery ice also have a 3 gallon tank? Funny you talk about only 0-60 times and mpg and ignore range, something most Tesla owners use to rag on other EVs but magically when comparing it to ICE equivalent it's not brought up The ascent you brought up has a usable third row, more...

    Wife replacing BMW X3M40i - looking at Model Y or BMW iX3 - decision time!

    I wish that was the case here. I would already have bought one

    Two month impression

    Depends on your roads then I guess. Highways here are mostly good, but enough bad spots that the Model Y is not comfortable to be in, especially in the back. The more off the beaten path you go and the roads are even worst (I like to backcountry camp). Regarding vs the S60, again it might be...

    Two month impression

    The XC90 is much more comfortable and it not really comparable to a S60. One is a sedan and the other is a 7 seater SUV and has more room and a better sitting position. The XC90 costs more than 50% more here. The top trim seats are also some of the best in the business at this price point...

    Two month impression

    Nothing wrong with a Model Y. It is a fantastic vehicle, which is why it is on my shortlist. I wouldn't even attempt a road trip in a non-Tesla EV either. I just feel the main pro's of a Y isn't as important as something like comfort for road tripping. The seats are great but the suspension...

    Two month impression

    Regarding road tripping - The Volvo XC90 is far more comfortable to be in. Enhanced auto-pilot was nearly unusable for me when I had my Tesla because of auto-wipers going berserk. Phantom breaking issues had also been bad for me. I find driving in my wifes Q7 to be much, much better...

    Quality Culture at Tesla

    Well cosmetic gaps you have a point. The problem is alignment issues are not always just cosmetic. I had many service issues with latch problems, rattles, etc. all stemming from alignment issues. Some of the alignment issues were so bad it was scrapping off paint. Granted it is much better...

    Buffeting/Booming issue survey

    I had the same issue in the overnight test vehicle I had and when I brought it up everyone at the dealer thought I was crazy. So it is either 1) No one at Tesla has a clue about a common issue 2) They do know but everyone is told to pretend it isn't an issue At this point I know enough people...
