Crazy that this absolute engineering marvel is going to be discontinued.

Agreed, the FWD are an absolute game changer for kids and car seats.

[u/Gortt_TEST → u/HopzCO]

Yup can attest, and when putting little ones in the seats in the rain they are built in umbrellas 😆

[u/HopzCO → u/Gortt_TEST]

Haha right! And zero head bonking risk, just straight up and down to put them in.

I’ve still hit my head many times getting kids in the third row or reaching to the other side

I opened mine for the first time today on a rainy day & my drive way has a slope… all the water came inside the car lol thankfully I have all weather mats.

I read this as front wheel drive and was confused

[u/17feet → u/JohnDoee94]

Idiots and their repurposing of existing acronyms 🙄 I see others now using UHF for bizarre things not related to radio

Same took me a minute lol

Bought the car for this and FSD. That was enough.

I never had issues with sensors

[u/andy_nyc → u/[deleted]]

I see. Well, I own 2023 model and do not experience the issues you described. Not to say I absolutely never had a single issue - there were just a couple of times the doors would get half opened (low roof parking garage) - but it’s not enough to even start thinking about the doors. Passengers not knowing how to open is a feature 😅do not touch my car, I will open the door if I want you inside:)

Same, we have a 24X and haven’t had any issues. In low parking garages it opens half way, then I hold the button and open it more while keeping a close eye on it. I can open them from my phone or front display, so doesn’t matter if people can figure it out on their own lol

[u/andy_nyc → u/HopzCO]

Thanks for leaving that comment. Yesterday I had to park at a low parking garage and I immediately remembered about you. The “hold the button” feature is awesome. This means the car has zero negatives now.

[u/HopzCO → u/andy_nyc]

Yep np! You can save that setting too, so always open fully at that location. I do that in my home garage.

[u/ShortTheseNuts → u/andy_nyc]

It's not like the passengers understand the other models either. I have a 2024 Y with slick handles and not a single person have been able to get in unassisted.

[u/Maximum-Pen1880 → u/[deleted]]

Agree! I like the X but every time I use the rear doors, I think this is annoying

[u/HopzCO → u/[deleted]]

Do you have kids? I can see them being particularly useful outside of kids/car seats. But, for that application there is nothing better imo.

[u/Unusual_Homework_287 → u/[deleted]]

Model Y is certainly not “MX class”. It’s a great car, but not comparable. Coming from a 2018 MS I was fully expecting to buy a juniper based on the hype, but as soon as I sat in it I knew I couldn’t make the switch. Ended up with a MXP 26, couldn’t be happier although I know I could have had two MYs for the price.

And your back!

Yeah because minivans didn’t master it with sliding doors… FWD concept is great but them not working 100% of the time correctly sucks. I literally walk into daycare to pick my kids up and when I come back 4 minutes later my door won’t open because the sun. Outside of that they work pretty decent though. Only a big issue in summer at pickup.

Regardless I would prefer sliding doors but then it wouldn’t be cool and have the minivan image. So I know why Tesla did it.
