the model Y steering ratio is 10.3 which is about a third less than our two existing vehicles, Honda and Lexus, which are about 15. From my test drive I thought this may the case. It was not as easy to steer, it seem to take more effort to keep the car centered in the lane as it bounced around from imperfections in the pavement. Test car was a model Y permanence with the larger low profile wheels. I'm learning this was the reason for the rough ride. Steering mode was set to comfort.
I'm thinking to set the steering mode to sport instead. It is my understanding sport mode takes more force to turn the wheel and this may keep the wheel from moving around. as much as it encounters bumps and imperfections in the pavement?
Maybe I'm over analyzing all this, I'm just not wanting to take delivery of an expensive car that is going to be more uncomfortable to drive and control. Not sure the auto steer can be used enough of the time because of busy traffic on high speed interstates in the city. the car I would get is the model Y long range with the stock smaller and fatter tires.
