. . . but what do you miss from your old car?

[EVer Hopeful]

So far the only thing I have on the PriusV that I don't have on the Y is a red horizontal line on the backup camera screen that was supposed to be 18 inches behind me. I tested it and it was pretty accurate, though I'm not sure how it handled the angle of the camera

Having said that, the Y tells me in inches how far I am from the obstruction AND it has bendy lines to indicate where the car is pointing (The PriusV just had two straight lines for that)


Oh, the PriusV had a retractable roof shade too - very useful in Texas

And a cargo cover, but tbh I stopped using that in the end

“Dumb” cruise control with no phantom braking.

I miss the blind spot side mirrors on my 2012 Ford Focus. And also the rear-view mirror that could be manually dimmed. So just mirror stuff for me.

Only thing I may be slightly miss from my 2012 Nissan Rogue is the tiny 3rd row seats.

I miss my first Tesla's custom color!

I miss dumb cruise, having a real roof instead of a glass roof, not having to worry that a software update will screw up something, gauge cluster, buttons / knobs to control things, and I miss the ability to make the car more powerful via my own knowledge and efforts.

PS: dumb cruise is first on the list for a reason Elon!

In addition to dumb cruise, I miss the larger portrait display from my S, with the whole display able to be dedicated to navigation. Bigger backup camera picture too. On the other hand, the Y is much more efficient so on the whole I'm still happy with the change.

Real knobs for heater controls and seat heaters. Actually from 2 cars ago, the 2012 Outback and 2004 Forester. Should be able to change heat settings without looking.

2014 Outback (last car) heater buttons were too fussy, had to look for them, even after 7 years.

Voice control is ok, but not the same.

I get it, the simplifying of mechanical functions is a huge benefit for design and production. But still, a couple dedicated rotary switches could still be FBW, and robust as anything.

I came from a 2016 Honda Odyssey. I don’t think I miss anything from that car (which I actually really liked and appreciated) other than maybe the capacity to seat 7 other people. It helps that the Odyssey was old enough to not have some of the more modern features that the MYP is also missing such as rear cross traffic warning. The Odyssey did have blind spot warning in the mirror, but I never really used it as I never broke the habit of turning around to check my blind spot.

Two months in, the MYP has really worked very well for me, and I honestly haven’t felt like I’m missing anything. I would certainly like to have stuff such as Apple car play, rear cross traffic alert, and dumb cruise (although I haven’t really experienced phantom braking and hardly ever used cruise control in the Odyssey), but I don’t miss these things because I either never had them or basically never used them.

Cool Tesla Model Y Blind Spot Mirrors!

Wanted to share as I have not seen these being discussed here. We started with these on our 3 and loved them. When we got the Y, visibility was definitely tougher and my wife was especially a little uncomfortable with it. These mirrors are an exact fit on our 3. On the Y, the passenger side is...

1. Apple CarPlay.

4. The heated steering wheel that my Audi had.
5. CarPlay.
6. I occasionally miss 'dumb' cruise control, but then when I drive our 2011 odyssey I always end up missing TACC, so I don't think I really miss it.
7. CarPlay.
8. Did I mention CarPlay?

How does Y’s heated steering wheel compare to your old Audi’s?

The sound of the GT350.

1-Steering wheel controls on my Volt that allowed me to fast forward on songs and podcasts.
2-knobs for quick heat/air controls.
3-glovebox handle/button.

Blind spot monitoring in the mirrors!

We’ll, since my Audi had it any my Y doesn’t, I have to say the Y’s heated steering wheel sucks!

1. If you are talking about advancing and goign to previous track, the use the left thumb roller. Push it to the right to advance a track, push it to the left to go to the previous track.

PS: Missed blind spot warning in mirrors and birds eye view camera for parking. I added some convex stick on mirrors to help with blind spots, and I am going to add a rear camera that displays on a new rear view mirror / display unit, and a front camera tied to a gauge cluster replacement... that will help a bit
