Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Long Range Test Drive Review (and thoughts on Autopilot)

First, the speed and power is quite phenomenal. You can eaaaaasily outspeed and overtake anyone on the freeway. The power is good, when merging or just driving around the freeway, when it is easy to be eaten alive.

Some honest thoughts—

First, ride quality is a bit poor. My 2010 Prius funny enough feels far more comfortable. Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Long Range — a bit too stiff, you can kind of feel every bump on the road. And I also suppose because you’re a bit higher off the ground, you don’t feel as stable and planted to the road (downside of these micro SUV compact car segments, or just SUV’s in general)— I’d imagine it feels similar in a Model X. In terms of driving, I hate SUV’s or cars which are too high off the floor.

Also as a driver, the A pillar on the top far left is a bit too obstrusive — it blocks too much of the left side.

The overall quality of the car feels pretty cheap. The back rear passenger seat door and window integration … it is like the window and the glass is falling off it?

Autopilot

The auto steer (beta)— dangerous. Doesn’t really work on steep curves, can and maybe kill your family or cause your car to flip over.

The auto pilot basic keep safe distance between front car,,, this is very good! But it does make me feel a bit carsick when using it ,,, I think in super extreme stop and go traffic it is a godsend, but for mild traffic it makes me more uneasy than anything.
