Well, not mine, my wifes. (Purchased for her as a gift Dec 2020).
White on White, LR, 20" wheel upgrade. Had ~6 miles on it at time of pickup. Added the Accel Boost maybe 5 months after purchase. PPF on hood only. NO FSD. She loves standard AP when on highway. In city she prefers hands on driving feel. (She enjoys..driving). Windows tinted. No other notable accessories/mods. Currently has right at 29k miles. Probably a mix of 85% city, 15% highway use. Garaged day and night.
Random notes:
- Car had zero issues at pickup/delivery time. Yes, zero. Service Center accommodated my request (at the time) to have it in the showroom with a red bow. The SC staff was fantastic
- Only one service ticket within two years, and that was for a loosening rear view mirror. Mobile Ranger fixed that in less than an hour.
-Contemplated adding power frunk kit (I did that on a prior S I owned), but opted against it as I never used the frunk at all on my S. (ok, one time, to carry caserole to a cookout)
-Have two 240v outlets in my garage (I had a dedicated circuit/breaker panel installed in my detached garage when I had the house built), one for my current 2022 S and the other for the Y. Charge only with the included mobile connectors during off peak where rates are ~11 cents per KWH. Charge both to ~55% each night, unless we plan a road trip. Once every 3 months or so I do charge both to about 95%. Its been supercharged maybe, 4 times total in 2 years.
-Havent measured any sort of battery degradation/range decrease as..it just hasnt come up and I simply dont obsess over it. I'll assume its between 5-9% loss, just based on internet reading. 95% (or more) of daily driving for my wife is 30 miles or less. That is less than 2 hours on the mobile connector at night to get that back
-Tires have worn evenly but need replacing now. I rotated them front to back at 15k miles or so.
-Ordered the accel boost before a road trip and fully intended to cancel within 48 hours. (Wife has never been into high performance. Previous vehicle was a Lexus RX. Boring.) However, I was wrong. She 100% wanted to keep the accel boost. So we did.
-High points per the wife: Pulling into garage and plugging in. Massive convenience vs filling with gas. Quiet smooth quick acceleration at anytime. No gear changes, no noise, no waiting until engine has warmed up to accelerate hard. Loves warming up vehicle inside of garage via mobile app. Heater works fast in winter. Nothing has ever broken (her words). Loves the style, the room, comfort, how great the white interior holds up. (Still like new). She also loves the screen/technology. (And she HATES hi tech things. Still writes herself notes on sticky notes vs using siri to dictate notes on her Iphone)
-PPF mainly a waste(hood only), but I did it myself so minimal cost. No PPF on front bumper cover and total # of nicks is 3. Each approx 1 mm in size. Careful application of touchup paint made them nearly invisible beyond 3 feet of staring IF you knew where to look. Zero dings/rock chips anywhere else. Factory PPF sheets was installed on that back area near both rear doors.
-Ebay mudflaps were installed earlier this year by me. I guess they work ok?
In short, wife says she has ZERO plans to ever go back to ICE. Ever. She'd like an X in the future, but I may surprise her with a 2023 Performance Y (Now that Tesla fixed the harsh suspension issue) middle of next year depending on how far used market continues to drop/impacts resale of this LR Y on used market) and depending on whether or not parking sensor capability is restored by then. She'd love the heated steering wheel (hers was delivered just weeks before that became a feature in the 2021 Y's) and would def love even more acceleration capability.
