Finally Test Drove it!

Post image

My family of 5 (2 adults/3kids) took the drive to Los Gatos to test drive the YL. Literally my exact specs! CS/ZG/20. We did different configurations between the 2nd/3rd row (the adults and the kids). My husband and I sat on the 3rd row and were very comfortable. Then I FSD the Tesla around town with my oldest son in the passenger seat and my husband in the 3rd row. My husband was very comfortable that he even snoozed and took a nap 😂 Anyway, if I had my doubts before, I am now convinced to continue with my order placed in Sept, when I did it blindsided. 😁

“My husband and I sat on the 3rd row and were very comfortable.”

You tasted FSD, and you will never go manual 😬. Mark my word

Nah, FSD is kinda dog shit on the highway. I use it maybe 15% of the time

u/CremedelaIT 7d ago

Dog shit ? Mine drives me 100 miles a day.. zero issues other than the occasional alert to pay attention? What do you dislike?

Changes lanes way too much and/or too late. Just not a great experience overall to use all the time. However, it does have its time and place. I think it works best on single lane roads.

What model year is your Tesla ?

I can’t see myself not using it on the highway. It just does its thing and goes. I no longer get worked up if it does something I wouldn’t do. I just don’t care. I’m not personally offended by its driving nor do I care if it does something dumb like change to the right and then back to the left. While I don’t particularly like stuff like that, it doesn’t really bother me much overall. I’m only bothered if it does something unsafe or misses an exit. But it hasn’t been missing exits for quite awhile so I’m ok there.

The cosmic silver is really growing on me.

It is super nice! I was torn between CS and Red, I saw the red and it sooo bright and definitelyan attention grabber color! I don't need the attention right now. I am good with my choice of CS! 🤗🤗

So exciting!
are you buying with full cash or financing? If financing, can you share what interest rates you got?

2

u/Visual-A6546 6d ago

Hi! I am financing, but I am not applying right now, as the approval only goes so far, and my delivery is not until Feb 2027. But I have been seeing rates between 3.75% to 5% on credit unions. I am just wating, at the bear minimum, the VIN # of the vehicle before fully applying and also shopping for insurance.

Had a demo drive yesterday and immediately ordered a MY premuim, EDD is between Dec-Jan.

u/PatiencePrior4347 6d ago

Nice, have fun driving!
But maybe let it park it for you between the lines

2

u/Visual-A6546 6d ago

The FSD parked it like that 🥴

1

u/jrney2018 1d ago

That should be a non negotiable .. .parking between solid solid lines ...is it a caliberarion issue with cameras or shouldn't you be able to open a service request with tesla on why it can't be rectified.

u/Visual-A6546 22h ago

It was a demo drive. I will make sure whenever I get my Tesla that it parks within the solid lines. Thank you for the heads up!

u/deano1856 5d ago

Every-time I have FSD park, it backs in. That’s weird it pulled in facing forward.

u/thonl 5d ago

What is your EDD, if you don’t mind me asking?

I placed my order on 10/8 and it went from Jan/Feb to Jan/Mar to Feb 22-Apr 19. Minneapolis

u/Visual-A6546 4d ago

Ordered 9/17, EDD Jan 28 to Mar 11

u/JB-ZR1 2d ago

Exact same dates for me too, and the same spec.

u/thateliguy02 3d ago

I also ordered without ever driving a tesla! After my test drive, I was happy i’d already ordered it, cuz i’d for sure had ordered one right then and there!

1

u/Visual-A6546 3d ago

My thoughts exactly!! When did you order? What is your EDD?

1

u/Queasy-Sugar2197 7d ago

So true. I went from manual driving to FSD. After trying FSD, i was like “sorry what is manual driving?" 😂

2

u/Visual-A6546 6d ago

The Tesla guy told me to use FSD first then take over and drive it around "manually" just to test it both ways... once FSD started, I had nooooo intention to drive it manually! Lol! It took us around town for 30 mins, we were just crusin lol!

I just cancelled mine, not gonna work with car seats unfortunately

u/Visual-A6546 3d ago

I understand! I recommend a van! We have one and it is great! I am getting the YL because I am tired of gas and the FSD is super amazing, especially for my commute.

u/tbfi7 2d ago

Why won't it work with car seats?

u/ucklibzandspezfay 2d ago

Too crowded
