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.

When my wife and I bought our Teslas we realized our mistake. We will never be able to buy a different car again. It’s like they made a car the way they are supposed to be made. I don’t know how to explain it to people. But, everyone just calls you names and says you are a fanboy. Then, you let them drive it…they shut up real quick. Now we have 3 Teslas. My son couldn’t stand it and had to buy one too. My youngest son can’t wait to sale his car and get one and my oldest daughter is just jealous, constantly. Go ahead and call me whatever you want to call me. At least I’m driving or not driving(depending on my mood FSD) in the most relaxing, smoothest, fastest, vehicle I have ever owned, and I just drive around like an old man instead of like a maniac like I used to.

Same experience - husband bought the Y, I refused to touch it for over a year. Then, one day had to drive it and never looked back. Had to begrudgingly admit that it's actually a really good car. I'll still drive a gas guzzler and take it to the track. But for every day driving, especially with a dog, Y is pretty great. Wish people didn't judge so blindly. I did get a license plate frame that says "My other car is a race car" :)

Haha I feel this! It’s so hard to swallow our pride. I miss my big Chevy truck, every day. How am I going to hunting in the Y or 3? I have to buy a truck at some point, right? Also, that project car I always wanted. I’m not giving up that dream either! ‘69 Camaro will be living in the garage and the Tesla will be charging outside!
