TLDR: In my opinion MY is the best Tesla yet! So if you are on the fence, get the Y!
I expected to be WoWed by MS, afterall its much more expensive! I got a 2018 75D (yeah not Performance) as a loaner and wow, ive never been in a Model S before, and I must say, I was expecting more.
The seats are half cloth (not entirely leather like MY), the steering wheel controls and door cluster feels like I just sat down in a standard luxury car (Lexus/Mercedes) from 10 years ago, the screen while much larger does not seem to deliver any more info, its just blown up (bigger). It does have the cool raise/lower suspension feature, but is lacking other things, like for example fan only temperature control mode (its either on/off with A/C, not option to do fan only)
I didnt take it to a track or precisely measure anything, but Id say acceleration feels just about the same as my MY going from 0 to 70ish (just going from a red light on a straightaway). I was expecting MS being more aerodynamic to have more punch.
I was expecting the behind the wheel cluster to feel luxurious, more fancy. Nope. MY has all that info on it's screen. In fact I prefer it there, because I found my hands/steering wheel getting in the way of me seeing the lane view (seeing stuff around me, especially when parking in a tight spot). Its like they took MS layout/view and compacted it in a much more efficient yet equally convenient way.
The center storage area is kind of weird. No real convenient place to put the phone, the insides are rubber (industrial feeling), and that large area has little grooves for CDs? lol MS doesnt have a CD player... so not sure what the idea there is. Overall much less storage.
The door handles to exit again feel like 10 year old mercedes/lexus. I love pushing the button on MY.
The only thing I like in MS better than MY is the leather dash. It looks and feels real nice.
I guess my point is that I was expecting to be wowed by MS, but I am just super glad I got the MY instead! I was thinking about picking up a MS as a used proposition to have another Tesla, but now I dont know that Ill really be doing that.
Oh and being 2018, it has the dreaded yellow border on the screen.
