Model Y - first drive

[slvervper99]

After 2 days of driving around my Model Y, I didn't realize how much different it is from the Model 3 (my son's). I can consider myself now a Tesla family (having 2 Teslas in the household). Didn't realize how much taller, wider-ish than the Model 3 and those tires (not MYP) even on the LR - still wider than my 22 Honda Pilot. At 4.8 sec 0-60, it feels pretty confident on acceleration (still planning on getting AB) but also feels heavy but very nimble. In any case. I am still in the honeymoon phase. Really learning now how to be an EV owner.

No USS. Just started the car, put it in drive and the car didn’t even see the car right in front of its nose. Took a few seconds of driving for ”Tesla vision” to activate

Not sure how many miles you have, but the cameras do require some time and mileage to calibrate.

Currently at ~80 miles

@slvervper99 as a new Tesla driver, you might consider the new software feature “apply brakes when regenerative braking is limited.” I see that you don’t have it selected. It really is an incredible feature and makes for a more consistent driving experience. It’s under controls > pedals & steering.

Thanks for the tip, I did see that but didn’t click on it. But I will try it.
