About the only highlights of the last year have been the new car and the cats, but the old one had to die for the new cats to come into the household.
I've read here on the forum that the early refresh headlights had a tendency to buzz. Mine were fine until they replaced the seats. I noticed the right one was buzzing loud enough to be heard in the house after I got home from the service center. The left one was buzzing too, but not as loud. They replaced them and they have been fine since.
The meme among some seems to be that Teslas are horribly unreliable and a lot of the early cars did have problems. I think most recent buyers have experiences like you and I, a few minor issues, but nothing more than annoyances. At least that's the gist I get from reading this forum. Some people are unfortunate enough to get a buggy car, but they become fewer and fewer as time goes on.
As an engineer, I am still amazed at how well designed the car is. There are still a few minor annoyances like there should be door pockets and it would be handy for passengers with some mobility problems to have some grab handles for getting out, but those are minor. Performance-wise it's a dream to drive. I rarely use AP because I enjoy actually driving the car too much. Though AP on road trips is nice. I love the gobs of cargo space too.
My SO has always liked performance cars, though she's often driven things somewhat more practical. She has a Subaru Impreza now. She doesn't like large cars and loves her Impreza (so she says), but she seems to keep coming up with excuses to take the Tesla.
She had major surgery last week and can't drive for at least two weeks (though she's recovering far faster than anyone predicted). At least I can rely on my car being in the garage when I want to go somewhere for the next few weeks.
