my new Model Y !!!!

[hookah66]

I got my Model Y delivered on February 14 and so say the least I am quite exhilarated, compared to Mach-e it is a better EV specially from software and charging network perspective. However, Mach-e does have a better finish quality in cabin details and paint. The ride on the Model Y is quite interesting, it is firm but the rebound calibration is right on the money, i.e. even though Mach-e had a more supple ride it was extremely wobbly, it took shock well but it kept bouncing up and down uncontrollably and this got progressively worse as I approached 20K miles. The charging network was the worst nightmare on the Mach-e: the so called Ford's Blue Oval Charging Network is only a figment of imagination for it never existed! During road tripping the only reliable dcFC is that of Electrify America which is OK along the interstates. In Portland ME area it is non-existent. Other dcFC chargers are low kW i.e. evGo, Chargepoint+, FPL (Florida area), etc.. on the other hand charging at any of Tesla's SC is just "BORING" ....!!!

Thanks for the review. I pick up my MY tomorrow. My first choice was Ford Mach E but the price and availability aren't good. Your experience indicates I made a better choice with the MY.

Picked up my MYLR (same as my Jan order and instead of the MYAWD that I substituted for that one) yesterday in Knoxville. Either I'm not as picky as others or I'm a very poor judge of quality, but my Y really looks very well put together. No gaps anywhere that I could see, lines were consistent, nothing improper anywhere in the paint, a close inspection of the interior didn't reveal any anomalies. After reading the horror stories of others and seeing their pictures, I was prepared for just about anything - and literally found nothing that gave me the slightest pause. Perhaps because the Knoxville store is smaller, I couldn't be happier with the service and patience of the staff there.

Hoping for the same experience tomorrow in Raleigh. Thanks. This shouldn't be so nerve wracking; really.

That's awesome to hear. Road trips in a Tesla are just down right fun too. Our 2020 Model Y has well over 70,000 miles now and it's still a joy to drive.
