TESLA MODEL Y 55,000 MILE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This 55,000-mile review of the 2020 Tesla Model Y Long Range highlights its durability and evolving technology. The owner praises the car's robust interior and exterior, noting minimal issues beyond two early flat tires and the need for windshield and roof replacements (covered by insurance). Performance modifications like aftermarket wheels, suspension, and sway bars are discussed, along with the owner's preference for a specific suspension setting. The review touches on battery degradation, showing around 11.9% loss, which is considered normal and hasn't impacted range. Key software features like scheduled charging, blind-spot camera, and scroll wheel customization are lauded for enhancing ownership. While acknowledging that luxury competitors offer quieter rides and more premium materials, the reviewer asserts that the Model Y excels in performance, technology, and efficiency within its price bracket. The charging experience at Tesla Superchargers is consistently positive, with only minor wait times reported. The primary drawbacks mentioned are the ride being harsher than some luxury alternatives and road trips taking approximately 25% longer than with a comparable gas car.
