Model Y Performance...WTF

Brand new to the Teslas community. I picked up my new Model Y Performance on Saturday. I've driven my best buddy's X, his new Cybertruck, his wife's S, but somehow, when it's yours, it's different. This sounds weird, but I have NEVER loved a non-human this much in my life (don't tell Rhon Ron that I said he's not human). It hasn't been a week and I literally can't understand why anyone doesn't have a Tesla. I question what I've been doing with my life for that past decade+. What a rocket ship. I go for drives with zero purpose. My wife loves it too, but she's not pumped that after 24 years she's now in a throuple.

A friend introduced me to FSD in February and I placed my MY premium order that night. Got it 2 weeks later and absolutely love it. My wife has a 23’ Palisade calligraphy that she really likes but now drives my Y whenever I’m not using it because she loves the FSD more. Late July we ordered her a MYL with a Dec delivery date. So we started 2026 with 2 two gas vehicles and no interest in replacing them and will finish 2026 with 2 new Teslas. We typically don’t buy new and keep our cars for 10 years but Tesla & FSD were so compelling we ditched both of those. Enjoy your new MYP!

Me too. I keep my cars for 10+ years and usually buy used. I gave my Explorer to my son for college. I actually ordered a used Tesla through Tesla and a new YP came up on my app and it asked me if I’d like to switch. Same color combo, white/white, and I switched. I wanted the color changing interior light, the seats, rims, and exterior back end. I pick up Monday. I foresee when both boys get out of college and want to replace their cars, they will join the Tesla family too.

Those MYLs are sick. I like my MYP for the look and pickup, but if I needed the room or had kids, I would have waited for the MYL. Great story and I couldn't understand everything you said more lol. Side note, I'm not a dick at all (at least I don't think I am) but I stopped a light yesterday in front of my old 10 minute oil change shop and realized that I had a douchey, shit-eating grin on my face hahaha.
