I've loved this car since it was first shown/announced and today I leased one.
Sharing the car with my partner so it's half the price.
Halfway through the 3 hours we spent at the dealer I wished we were buying a Tesla as we would have been home already. I really do hate the car dealership experience.
Anyway, it's an AWD Touring model. I specifically wanted this configuration because Touring has the premium (Bose) audio system but the smaller 19" wheels. I would have been fine with a base model (EX) but I didn't like the audio system. And an Elite was out of the question both from a pricing perspective but also because I didn't want the 21" wheels.
Maybe in a month or so I will post a thorough review of the vehicle, but for now I have to say I absolutely love it, and only have two gripes:
1. It's not fast. It's not slow, it's totally fine, but for Tesla money I would have liked a little more juice. Most of the competitors are more fun when you push the pedal down.
2. I might research this further, but I didn't find any way to link the driver profiles to the keys and/or the 1/2 memory buttons on the door. So, as we're sharing this car, we have to get in the car, press the button on the door for the seat/mirror settings, and on the screen select our profile by name. Not the end of the world, but as far as I know, Tesla has this sorted, right?
Overall, I understand why more people pick the Model Y over the Prologue. It's just, when you look at the numbers, a way better value, and of course, way more fun to drive. But it's my opinion the Prologue looks better, rides way better, and I prefer how traditional it is - normal door handles, a power button to turn the car on and off, a column shifter, physical climate controls, etc.

. GM’s OTA update program just started up too - hopefully Hondas get them also.
