Yes....in fact we just got back from a long interstate drive..and loved having the ACC. We added both IPD rear sway bar and Volvo front strut brace and it handles (for a wagon) like it's on rails. Imagine it'll eventually get replaced with an EV...perhaps a future Volvo or maybe Polestar 2....

Just picked up our Model Y from a private sale yesterday. I'm originally coming from a model S, but two years ago, we purchased the Model X. The Model Y is my first introduction to the single screen so things are a bit different. I would agree that the ride is more in tune as a sports car feel. I haven't tested out any aggressive driving but, so far I love it. It feels like it's on rails. Love the smaller steering wheel. The UI is taking some getting use to considering owning the Model X. Original owner had a lot of extras done to the car. the Stealth wrap is growing on me. I'm use to a nice shinny look but the wrap is not bad. The name was only fitting, Meet Snow White.
Now, how do I keep the blinker on when I'm in a turning lane?

Thank you. I'll try that tomorrow after the storm clears.
I really got to RTFM. It is just that different compared to the X.
Isn't it:
- use minimal force, 3 blinks
- push until you go past the resistance point - stays on
Never tried two times using limited force. I'd expect the second time would cause it to stop blinking (using minimal force would cancel the blinker when it's on).
I believe that’s what they meant by two clicks. You will feel a “click” when you push the lever down for 3 blinks, and if you push further down, you will feel a second “click” to allow the turn signal to stay blinking.
Yes, good question. Bought it to drive in his business. Owns several other cars. Wife and daughter own chevy Volts. Just want we were looking for including FSD and the black rims. Was going to order the blue model but this white is really looking nice and the satin wrap is really growing on me.

I was bummed when I test drove the Y; ride is still too harsh (very similar to our Model 3). We are highly likely to cancel our Y order because of this lack of progress on suspension.
i was in the same boat, I read enough reviews that warned about ride quality with the larger rims so I kept the 19” wheels. This car is a temp for me as I ordered the Cyber truck, we plan on giving the Y to my daughter as her first car. She will be lucky, but I know this will be one of the safest things she can ride in 2-3 years..
It’s 52k only if you get the base without FSD or the 2k induction wheels that op seems to have.
All in with tax,lic, it would have been ~66k. The OP probably saved 10% over waiting for a new one.
Well, I was hesitant offering up the price paid for used but considering the newness of the car and pricing that is always available through Tesla, I felt for historical purpose it would be ok. Yes, we did go through with it and I felt that both parties are happy. I will say coughing up 60G's is not the easiest thing to do especially when employment was scarses starting in June. So the wife and I are starting a new thing and hoping to keep the car working for us. I think Tesla hit this one out of the park. Model Y will be highly desirable by many, and not just someone looking for an EV.
I'm also starting to see more MY's here in my area too.
Edit: Oh, and not waiting was part of it.

Drove a performance without performance package . I think they were the smaller wheels
The ride was pretty harsh the acceleration was amazing. I tested the stereo it was way better than
most . Even the ones that have the fancy names like JBL , Mark Levison , BOSE. I look at all the Y's
that come by the local super charger . The biggest thing I have seen is door misalignment on a regular basis. It's been since September and I have noticed they seem to be getting better don't know if
this is because I am looking at a larger sample or they are actually getting better.
Other impressions seat bench could be longer Interior pretty plain.
I haven't seem some of the gross hatch alignments that were on some of the Y tube video's.
Also the the possible increase in range do to better battery's is giving me FOMO.
worried about the glass roof breaking with racks (yes the tesla racks)
Wish they would at least offer the seats in one more color (brown)
and some different wood or carbon colored interior trim.
