TLDR; it's been great, no actual issues, buy one. 
We took delivery of a MYP at the end of March 2021. In the 18 months and some 27,000 miles, I would sum up the experience as near perfect.
We've had the following maintenance/service visits:
- Two replacement of rear spoiler under warranty...
- 1 set of rear tire replacement at roughly 24,000 miles, fronts were fine. No it's not a lot of miles, but if you've owned high performance cars, this shouldn't surprise you. If you are used to driving other cars with rock hard tires that lasts 80,000 miles, this is not that car or those tires.
- 1 replacement of the interior cabin filter roughly 1 year in as general maintenance. Filter actually didn't look terrible. I did NOT have weird smells in the AC. I often wonder if people that have it generally park the car outside? I am on the Gulf coast, so it's humid here.
ANNND that's it!
Did the car have some panels with variances in the gap tolerance, yes it did. But you know what? Go look at just about any other car on the market, including expensive ones, and I'll bet you a cheeseburger you'll find it too!
Did the car have some strange software glitches? Yes it did. Screen went blank once when we were on a road trip, a couple of reboots, it was fine. A couple of times, the rear view camera did not want to come on, after letting the car sleep for a while, it came back. Perhaps because my background is in software and I get that no matter how much QA you do, humans (and in this case probably hundreds of humans) wrote the code, there will be SOME glitches. Perhaps I am too nice... who knows, but these experience did not detract from the ownership experience. I think it's important to know that as cars are defined more and more by software, this will keep happening. I've had these sort of software glitches on cars that have heavy software based entertainment systems. Heck, even Carplay glitches.
No the paint isn't perfect, orange peel on the side view mirror covers for example, but did it take away from the ownership experience, not on bit.
Would I recommend a Model Y? Yes I would. But I would suggest most people stay away from the Performance unless you are used to stiff rides. Yes the MYP is stiff, but we are used to those kinds of rides and prefer it actually. So we are not the normal use case. I am surprised at how stiffly sprung and dampened they made it. For those on the forum now researching on the Model Y, I will just remind you that most of the time, people come to forums searching for answers to problems they are having. That's why many of the posts are about issues. But understand that people generally don't make posts like this one... hey all good today. So keep that in context and make your own judgement. I posting only because last week, we traded the MYP in for a MXP. Here's to hoping the MXP will be close to the experience, although I don't expect it as it is a much more complex cars and probably more things can break on the X, the Falcon Wing Doors for example.
