I am about to get rid of a 2013 MB SL 550 for the Y as i want the gadgets and electric. now I’m thinking the gadget aspect will be cool for a bit and then the creeks and road noise will make me want my other car back...
In reading this it sounds like going from a luxury car to this will let us down after the new/cool aspect is over...
I just picked up my Model Y yesterday and traded my Porsche Macan. My concern was noise and handling. In my short drive I was surprised how much I liked the new MY. Maybe I set the bar lower with my concerns, but I really enjoyed the drive. It makes an interesting sound as you accelerate too (really kind of cool). I will keep you posted as I drive it more. In sport mode you feel the road more than in the Macan. The extra room in the back is great as I kitesurf. Hope that helps you.I’d be coming from a 4-year old Porsche Macan- practically no rattles and pretty quiet on the road. Disappointing to hear about your experience, as a lower-to mid priced Macan is about the same price as a performance level model Y.

Did you get the 21 inch wheels? I assume the sport mode you mention is simply acceleration as i dont think the suspension is adjustable.I just picked up my Model Y yesterday and traded my Porsche Macan.

Got my Model Y AWD (VIN 31xx) on 20" Inductions two days ago, switching from Model 3 LR RWD (VIN 144xx) on 18" Aeros.
<HOTTAKE> Model Y rides rougher, seems louder, feels less connected to road, more rattles. </HOTTAKE> Only driven less than 10 miles, will know more soon. Big upgrade in space, downgrade in driving fun.
Great thanks..KRG21 and LarryFL1,
In follow up to your questions. I haven't been able to take corners fast yet and exit ramps etc to get a true feel. As far as acceleration, passing and lane change maneuvers and all it handles very nice. Comparable to the Macan which I drove in Sport mode always. When I mentioned Sport Mode in Model Y, it was referencing the steering and acceleration (see picture attached)
. I will test it more and let you know. I have the 21" wheels and they seem great. It has much less noise than my wife's Model 3 (Aero wheels). I like the handling of the Y a lot so far and seems quite enough for the fun so far. Will pay more attention as I know many of us coming from luxury vehicles like the performance and quite too (my last cars were BMWs and Porsche's).

Larry - You'll really like it. I drove on Lyons Rd today up to 70mph and it was a little noisier than the other day, but it could be as well that I had the back seats down and was really listening for noise too. I was wondering if all the glass makes it harder to fully insulate the sound? - Not sure. It still is quieter than my woes Model 3. The handling is really nice. It is fun to drive like my Macan. Tomorrow will get a much better chance to try it in several conditions.Great thanks..
I went up to the Tesla in west palm beach to look at my Y... 21 inch, msm...looks nice..
I take delivery Tuesday as i have to have some electronics removed from my other car first...

This is not my video. I made a reservation for white/white performance Y back in March 2019, but the road noise is my biggest concern. Just waiting to see what will happen with the economy before finalizing the purchasing steps in my Tesla account.Thanks for the insights. I feel the Model Y is quieter as well (but as you said data says otherwise). Handling MY vs M3 - were you in sport mode for acceleration and steering? - for a direct comparison. I find the handling to be great in the MY.

I recommend giving Hold mode a try. Takes a bit of getting used to, but I think it makes driving feel even better since you never have to switch pedals. Makes it really easy and fun to launch out of a corner that you have to slow down for, just lift off the go pedal to slow down and then mash the pedal to the floor to launch it.
