It’s all I wear! I’m even obsessed with raw selvage, the worst case scenario for dye transfer. We’ll see how they hold up.
Definitely go get it professionally ceramic coated if you plan on keeping it for a while. Does it charge any faster than your other Tesla?It's been a long day so I didn't get too man photos in good light. Our drive was slated to be about 2.5 hours to Chicago for the pickup and my wife and I left home to give an hour to spare. We were 5 minutes late still. The stop an go 4 miles an hour driving with the GTI riding the DSG clutch made it very angry by the time we got to Tesla. It was bucking, kicking, and occasionally free revving when I got on the throttle, which I did do on occasion just because it was the last time I would ever do it.
I took it easy on the Model Y Performance after pickup. Stopped an hour into the drive for a 10 minute Supercharger top up since we left on 66% charge. That time I gave it the full beans up the on ramp. I've driven some fast Teslas before, but to be honest I was not prepared for how quick this thing is and I own it. I was waiting for my wife to let me have it for not warning her, but we were both laughing like complete idiots. The return trip including a lunch stop and 10 minutes of charging was 3 hours. A bit of an improvement.
It's comfortable. It's fast. I still no how matter much I try it really don't like FSD. After it cut off a semi and almost missed an offramp it's back to fully off on my car. I tried. A win everywhere else though!
A few shots after I got it cleaned up and charging in the garage while washing my wife's Model 3.
Funny… how did folks ever change lanes without it?!?
The point of changing lanes refers to crazy crowded CA freeways; the instant pull allows for pulling away quickly. No downshifting, no waiting for torque curve... These cars are really easy to drive.
The highways from Boston to Richmond on the east coast aren’t any different. Crowded, tight packed, etc. My point is it isn’t scary, it isn’t an issue, unless you want it to be.
The freeways, expressways and other roads around here can be flat out scary. That's my experience.
As a frequent visitor to the SF Bay Area I don't find the freeways and expressways "scary". Instead, I find them a sad refection of big city society, one where there's no courtesy and it's every one for themselves. Whenever I leave the peaceful Central Coast and drive up to the Bay Area my mindset behind the wheel takes on an entirely differently attitude. If I'm in the "right car", like my son's beater F-150, not only can I play the game, I'm good at it. I guarantee you I've had that F-150's blotchy, faded white paint within a half inch of someone's $100K machine. In those instances when push comes to shove I find the "I'm more important than you types" always submit.
I think that was a big reason for buying this color. I've always admired Mazda's red, they just don't make anything I wanted right now unfortunately. Mazda is a brand I've always appreciated, but just never owned.
That was a huge concern of mine. I couldn't find an issue. I've seen a number of pictures of Model Ys having the rear hatch misaligned on one side. Either Tesla panel gaps have been blown out of proportion or I've gotten lucky twice in 2 years now.
