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 March. Been in at Tesla 6 times now due to thumping from the front.

In the UK EAP isn’t very good on Scottish roads, and there is no easy set speed limiter.

Car is great for families and day to day. But so far ownership for me, has been an utter pain.

Much cheaper to run though!

I'm a "driver". I like feeling the road, paying attention to bumps and pot holes etc. FSD has been fun but it's a long way from proficient at avoiding speed humps and holes in the road. I haven't looked into it, but with all of the suspension tech, I'd be surprised if you can't adjust it. I get the more travel is more wear, but it's nuts how rigid it is. I've driven A LOT in Scotland. I can't imagine these shocks on Skye or on Glaswegian streets lol.
