[Evans, Marv]

We bought our Model Y about a year & a half ago. We got it because of the extra room in the rear. I originally thought it would be like the Model 3 with extra space which it is, but later on saw Consumer Reports rated it as less reliable than the Model 3. We have had zero issues with ours so far. Like you, I thought some of the same things originally, but chalked it up to just driving a different car. The steering was "positive" at first, but I got used to it quickly. I thought the braking was pretty cool and the way a car should be. The reminder that the regenerative braking doesn't work with cruise control is just that - a reminder. The acceleration is great, but after a while just something you use when you need it. I like the cruise control's management in traffic. Looking sideways at the display isn't much different than looking down to the display on most other cars. You are spot on about the interior, cup holders, and rear window. You get used to the rear view & it isn't different than lots of other cross over designs. I never had a problem with maintaining a steady speed. My wife is one of those who either is pressing on the accelerator or foot off the accelerator. It drives me crazy to ride with her. The one thing I am least happy with is the ride. It's heavy and rides like a rock with wheels on rough roads. On main thoroughfares, it's OK & the seats are failry comfortable. I like the fact there are no fliuds, hoses, and other things to demand my attention. I just rotate the tires. I just got my yearly "true up" (we have solar panels & are on a net metering program) from the power company. It's the first rull year since buying the car & using our 10% excess generating capacity to charge the car along with powering our all electric house. So our bill came to $289 for the year. That's much better than selling it to the power company at 2 cents/kWh.
