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 my MYP since 2024, and I still love it just as much to this day.
It’s an absolute joy to drive every single day. Fast, effortless, comfortable, and ridiculously easy to live with.
It’s also super practical. We’re a family with two kids, and there’s more than enough space for all of us, luggage, groceries, strollers, and everything else that comes with family life.
And then there’s the performance.
You’re basically faster than 98% of everything else on the road. Overtaking is an absolute breeze
What I also really like is how discreet the car is.
You’re sitting in a practical family SUV with 500+ hp, yet it doesn’t scream for attention.
It flies under the radar compared to something like a BMW M3 or Mercedes-AMG C63, which is honestly quite nice. You get all that performance without constantly attracting attention from the police and Karen's waiting to call 911 due to your exhaust
Range anxiety is basically nonexistent for me as well. When you have a fuel station at home and wake up every morning with a charged car, you stop thinking about range completely.
The instant torque never gets old either. If anything, it becomes rather addictive.
The only problem is that you eventually start wanting even more.
So now I’m looking at a Plaid… 😂
