NEW TESLA PROBLEMS - I RETURNED MY MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

The reviewer is returning their leased 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range due to several significant issues with Tesla's current offerings and the vehicle itself. Key criticisms include Tesla's volatile pricing strategy, which has led to substantial depreciation for early buyers, and the omission of a mobile charger with new vehicle purchases. The reviewer also highlights the unreliability of Tesla's "Vision only" system, particularly for parking assist features, and the non-transferability of Full Self-Driving (FSD) software to the owner's account. Furthermore, the opening of the Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs is seen as a negative for existing owners, potentially leading to increased congestion and wait times. The Model Y is described as becoming dated and less competitive, especially compared to the new Model 3, with the reviewer anticipating the upcoming "Juniper" refresh. Despite these issues, the reviewer acknowledges the Model Y as a great vehicle but believes future iterations will be significantly better.
