r/ModelY

My son was born last year and I wanted a bigger vehicle with more space. I was driving a 2020 Mustang GT (my dream car). It was paid off and I loved it — but driving the little one to daycare with it was tough. My wife has a 2023 Honda Civic which works well, but we just really wanted more space. I was so indecisive for a year. I didn’t want to let go of the GT, but with the 0.99% APR and Tesla approving a higher trade in amount than initially offered, I pulled the trigger.

And wow. This thing is freaking incredible. It drives so ridiculously smooth. FSD has really helped calm me down on crazy traffic days and I can just peacefully listen to my audiobook. My son loves the screens and gets excited to see Mickey Mouse Club House lol. It’s an incredible vehicle. And to all the people who told me to pull the trigger — thank you! I’m glad I did.

This is the best daily driver I’ve ever had. It is efficient, practical, and just fun to drive when I decide not to have FSD on. I do miss my Mustang GT — it was an amazing vehicle and it was a brilliant piece of engineering. I do plan on getting another Mustang in the future as nothing beats the sound of a V8. However, for my daily driving and taking my son to daycare, the Model Y is where it’s at — and the future Mustang will be my weekend fun car.

Thank you to this community for all the feedback and guiding me through all my crazy indecisiveness over the last year. 🙏

Proud to be in the Model Y family!

People say if you look back at your car every time when you get out of it, you must be in love with it. What a beauty I have!

Picked up my 2026 Model Y just a week ago and this happened already twice, the glass wont adjust for the door to close, because the glass is up all the way, it ended up scratching the window jamp. no annoyed, its getting towed to the service center, i worried if they will fix the scratch..

My front passenger floor on my newly picked up ‘26 Model Y premium tends to have some flex that makes a popping noise when stepped on or putting pressure. Seems to be coming from this area in the front passenger floor (marked red) on the image. Anyone else have the same issue?

Took it to service and they said it is normal. Service said that it’s common for the current Ys and not to worry about it unless it makes extreme noise when driving since it’s not a safety issue.
