My 2025 Tesla Y is a great car I never had a car before so don't trust me but I did ride a lot of Teslas before in Uber, specifically Tesla 3 and I didn't like it cause it felt cheap and shaky and I'd get car sick (I never get car sick) Not the 2025 Tesla Y, even as a passenger I don't get car sick, it feels smooth, it doesn't feel cheap Most of all my friends with petrol cars spend a lot of time in garages, meanwhile we've never Only when it delivered, it showed an error that the cameras did not calibrate, we brought it to the garage and a cable was loose during production and they fixed it and since then it just works I like driving it because I know the safety score is good so if something happens there's good odds we survive it as it's built well Only thing I don't like is that sometimes it does automatic phantom breaking on the highway in Portugal, that's extremely dangerous because if someone is behind you, they might hit you, I think it's because in EU we still run on the old software and not FSD yet (except NL recently), also you do need to clean the cameras regularly but also there's lots of construction dust near us so that doesn't help So yeah I like it a lot, it's a car that's not annoying, never breaks, doesn't need maintenance

I just bought a Tesla Model Y Full Self Driving is one of the most impressive pieces of technology I’ve ever experienced. I now wish I’d got it a year ago.
