    Good:
    • Acceleration: Damnnn its so much faster
    • Power lift gate: Love it
    • Range: No more anxiety
    • New center console: pretty cool
    • New aero wheels & chrome delete: pretty cool
    Neutral:
    • Heat pump: I guess it's better? Can't really tell in CA weather
    • HW3: its aight, autopilot and UI speed feel the same.
    • Road noise: still loud
    • Audio: honestly sound the same to me
    Bad:
    • They removed the tray in the armrest
    • Quality was not as good as the 2019 one; Door panels slightly misaligned, the interior trims on the top misaligned.
    • Checked out some new Ys and 3s at the SC too, all have some imperfections.

    Good timing. I have a 2019 SR+ and just picked up a Model Y for a weekend test drive. FASTER is a good word for it, but I noticed the stereo difference pretty quickly. A bit underwhelming to be honest, but much better bass than my SR+. I'll be playing with this one until Monday morning, but will probably hold off until next spring to make the jump.

    Sweet


    Stick with the SR+ for awhile unless you really "NEED" the Y


    Once 4680 cells make their way to the 3 and Y in ~2 years or so they will have 400+ mile ranges


    I'm sticking with mine until I pay it off, which is about that timeframe.

    That's pretty much my plan. I ran a trading quote for yucks and wasn't impressed, then a couple of days later I get a text from the salesman. Told him now wasn't the right time, but he was happy to put me in a weekend test drive anyhow. I don't' have much self-discipline, so who am I to say "no?"
