9 Things I hate about the Tesla Model Y
I’ve had my Model Y for just over a month now — and I’ve put over 2,000 miles on the vehicle so far.
And honestly, I love this car — I can’t say enough good things about it.
I love the fact that it’s all electric, that there is instant torque when I’m accelerating, the fact that I don’t ever have to go to another gas station again, and the fact that it has one of the most advanced autopilot programs out there — these are just a few of the things that make owning this Model Y an absolute joy.
But as a personal finance blogger that wants to help you make the best purchase decision when it comes to determining whether or your should own this Tesla vehicle — I wanted to make sure I highlighted these 9 negative things as well, so that you can get a picture of some of the things that are not so great about this car. Now keep in mind that as someone that absolutely loves this vehicle, these 9 things might seem minor, but they are definitely things that bother me on a regular basis.
So here are the 9 things I hate about the Model Y.
Welcome to Daniel’s Brew — where I cover personal finance, investing, and career development topics.
1. No place for sun glasses
First, there is no sunglass holder in the Model Y. Typically in most vehicles, especially those in the luxury class, there is normally a dedicated sunglass holder right above the rear view mirror — but in the Model Y, there isn’t one.
Now, we can always put our sunglasses in the middle console compartment — which is what my wife and I do, but coming from a car that used to have one of these slots, I kind of miss this feature.
2. Waking up the car takes as long as 30 secs
