Everyone hates on Tesla for obvious CEO reasons , but Tesla still has great cars. I test drove every electric car manufacturer and model available in central Florida throughout 2021/2022. The model y is by far the best in nearly every aspect. Nothing comes close.

My model y had one panel issue. They gave me a loaner car, it was fixed in 2 days. I haven't had any issues since. I drove it from Orlando, Florida to Toronto,CA and back without issue. It calculates where and how long to charge to continue your trip.

Again, everyone gives it shit but the "self-driving" is 10/10 on the highway ( 7/10 on local roads). It's not fancy lane assist and you'd have to be literally sleeping at the wheel to crash while it's engaged. It made driving there and back a breeze.

Best car I've driven so far. Hands down.

Yes. It’s very fashionable to hate Elon Musk, but unfashionable to acknowledge that someone you hate can do good stuff.
