well, that and the stupid rear doors. (a roof rack is a 'must have' for me.)The only downside to the X IMO is, well, price.

For me it would come down to this-do you have kids and if so the Y is an overall better way to go. I have a 4 and 7 year old and the 3 is fair but the Y for space and easy of in and out would be the better way. Babies and very young kids (under 2) alway have a need for tons of "extras" along the way when out and about so again the Y. For me I wanted the performance and the Y had not been released. 6 months later the Y came out and the wife and I both agreed it would have been a much better fit.I've pretty much decided I'm going to get a Tesla for my next car so now I'm trying to decide between a LR 3 or a LR Y.
As far as I can tell the pros of the 3 are better handling, better performance, longer range and lower price.
And the advantages of the Y are more space, hatchback, and higher ground clearance.
I really like hatchbacks more than sedans but I much prefer the size and price of the 3 over the Y.
Why did you buy a 3 instead of Y or vice versa?
yep. but hard to put a canoe on a cargo rack I know - special use case, but for me it is very real.As for a roof rack, we use a cargo carrier on the hitch instead. That seems to work well for us.
If you need a Y for a couple kids, you’re bringing around too much crap. J/PFor me it would come down to this-do you have kids and if so the Y is an overall better way to go.

How do you charge 2 Tesla with two drivers living in the same home? Assuming if you do charge at a home garage & live together?My wife has model Y LR and I didn't want two of the same car sitting in the garage lol.
For my 95 year old house, the Model 3 is the only Tesla that will fit down the driveway between the houses. The only time I'm envious of the Model Y is when I'm trying to load my aged parents in. That would be easier in a Y or X. The rest of the time, I love the handling, the acceleration, the one pedal driving and the incremental updates to the software.

1,000%! And for that, I'm glad. Anything else and the world would be exceedingly boring!yep. but hard to put a canoe on a cargo rack I know - special use case, but for me it is very real.

Is it possible to share one Level 2 charger? Or you have two?
Ugh, we strugle with one dog and a 4 year old...If you need a Y for a couple kids, you’re bringing around too much crap. J/P
My kids are a little older than 4 & 7 now, but the wife and I got around fine when the kids were that age with an ‘01 Focus sedan which is smaller than a 3. Didn’t feel the need for a larger vehicle.
Yikes, the Y must be terrible then because I reckon the 3 has bad visibility. The massive A pillar seems to always be in the way on windy roads.The 3 [...] has better visibility
Great question. It hasn't been an issue so far since I've been WFH, and my wife only travels to work a few days a week. I bought the Gen 1 mobile charger to leave plugged in and it works great. I get 35mph and her Y gets 37mph.How do you charge 2 Tesla with two drivers living in the same home? Assuming if you do charge at a home garage & live together?

We have my p3 and a bolt... we just charge when the other is done. Usually she charges one day and I on the other, or right after each other. I'm usually home before her and charge, when she gets home she just plugs in.How do you charge 2 Tesla with two drivers living in the same home?

Not to mention it's pretty uglyUnless you need the extra space, there is no reason to get the Y over the 3 IMO. Until they put those 4680 batteries in the Y, it has zero advantages over the 3 except for it being a bit larger. Personal opinion
I always thought it looked worse than the 3 but when I saw it directly from the rear of the car for the first time I really thought it looked worse. As one of my friends told me once, "why can't they just make electric cars look like normal (ICE) cars?"Not to mention it's pretty ugly
Yup. Shaped like a pregnant frog.Not to mention it's pretty ugly
