Early in August 2023, I finally decided to place an order for a Model Y - from the App. No dealership, no haggling, no waiting, I just configured it and placed an order on the iPhone. A couple weeks later, I got the text - it's ready. I had decided to pick it up in Fremont - where the car is made. And I have to say this car is amazing. It's not only my first new car (my whole life I saved money by buying used cars, mostly Honda's) it is an amazing car. It's beautiful, it is quiet, it is luxurious, it is fast (really fast), it has amazing audio (love Spotify streaming!) and the interior is so sporty/comfortable/simple you just want to sit in there. But most important was that I can charge it almost everywhere (SuperCharger network) and that it has lots of cargo space for my work. Everyday, when I see it in my driveway I still cannot believe that this is my car now.
I have been waiting for this for almost 10 years (I will explain in a later post why I waited to buy a Tesla Model Y), my wife got her Model 3 five years ago (she needed it for work). Initially, she wasn't sure if she wanted a Tesla. But the moment she got it, she loved it, and she cared for it (still looks like new) and I was only sometimes allowed to drive it. I think that Teslas are designed with so much care and the goal in mind to make driving safer and more enjoyable - and I believe this results in a special relationship between the car and the owner/driver.
