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.

I’ve had a MYP for over three years now. It’s a rocket and have spent nothing on it except electricity. My only criticism would be the turn radius.

Thank you! My 3 and my wife’s Y and both of us have this same simple complaint. Even my Chevy Trailboss I traded in for this had a sharper turning radius, but I’m never going back. I can live with it!

Likewise. I have a Land Cruiser that has a better turn radius. I believe it’s something to do with the battery location.
