I had a co-worker who grew up in Florida, could not wait to buy a vehicle with black paint because in Florida you don't do that.
You probably can't achieve the range numbers quoted by Tesla (EPA combined City/Highway numbers.) Take 15% off the EPA estimate and that is a good estimate, unless you like to drive faster than 70 MPH on the highway or it is raining or you are driving into a headwind. In Florida a good quality ceramic tint job for the windshield, side and rear glass will help to keep the cabin cooler and won't require the AC to work as hard, also if you choose the optional white seats. (The glass roof comes with factory treatment for UV and IR protection so there may not realize much improvement by adding a ceramic tint to the glass roof. An inside sunshade for the glass roof can definitely help.
There is very little regular maintenance, get out your pen:
Add washer fluid
Wash and wax the vehicle (there is so much glass that there is very little painted finish that needs waxing, protecting.)
Keep tires inflated to the recommended 42 PSI (measured cold)
Rotate the tires as needed (the Tesla Model Y will notify you if the tire wear indicates it is time to rotate, else every 6500 miles.)
Check, clean and replace the wiper blades as needed
Did I mention that you will occasionally need to add washer fluid?
Other maintenance:
- Brake fluid health check every 2 years (replace if necessary) or, if the vehicle is used for towing, replace the brake fluid every 2 years.
- A/C desiccant bag replacement every 4 years.
- Cabin air filter replacement every 2 years (or 3 years for HEPA filter, if equipped).
- Clean and lubricate brake calipers every year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area where roads are salted during winter
- Rotate tires every 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater, whichever comes first
