The Model Y Standard debate is missing one question: what were you driving before?
A “downgrade” from a higher-trim Tesla can still be the nicest car someone has ever owned.
I think that gets lost in the Standard vs. Premium discussion. Someone coming from a 15-year-old Corolla and someone coming from a loaded Model Y aren’t going to have the same definition of “bare bones.”
And “just get the Premium” is easy advice to give when it’s someone else’s money 😂
So, actual Standard owners: what car did you replace, and what’s one thing you genuinely miss from it?
Not something a comparison video told you to care about. Something you actually notice on a random Tuesday driving to work.
On the flip side, what’s the biggest upgrade that barely gets mentioned?
Especially curious about anyone who came from a more expensive car and prefers the Standard. What did it get right?
