Hey all,
I picked up the Model Y and have it took it home for the night. Unfortunately I work early in the morning and won’t have too much time with her but I did have a lot a fun driving it tonight with my daughter and grandson. I am on the fence about going for that or a model three, or even anything at all right now. I’ve seen and read a lot about battery day coming up and possible changes and or price decreases at whole bunch of other stuff. I know it’s like the new iPhone every year. There’s always going to be a new best thing. I do love the idea of the model three and the model Y I am just not sure I am ready for it. One thing that both my daughter and I very much dislike about these cars are how tiny the mirrors are. Laura at the San Antonio show room told me that she uses the cameras instead of the mirrors exclusively. I tried that and I got a little nauseated, almost. Everyone told me I would want to sign and drive as soon as I drove one and I am just not sure. So here are my big concerns
Thanks for the support

- Issues with fit and finish. I know there are tons of threads and videos about this. I get that Tesla is new to the car game but where is the quality control? I have seen vids/pics where alignment of the rear trunk was off by inches.
- The mirror size is a real concern. Granted, coming from a Ram 1500 the mirrors are huge, but even in my Sonata Hybrid there is a big difference.
- Battery day and updates - Never heard of this prior to a week ago but I am reading lots of posts about updated batteries, range etc. Does it make sense to buy now prior to any announcements?
- Tesla made me a great offer on my trade, but it expires today. So I feel like I am pressured to do something today in order to still get that offer. Carmax was 4k lower so thats not an option.
