oh look, someone doing ev that can actually make vehicles, and theyve eclipsed tesla... no wayy..
no one could have predicted this except, ya know, everyone.
Everyone hates on Tesla for obvious CEO reasons , but Tesla still has great cars. I test drove every electric car manufacturer and model available in central Florida throughout 2021/2022. The model y is by far the best in nearly every aspect. Nothing comes close.
My model y had one panel issue. They gave me a loaner car, it was fixed in 2 days. I haven't had any issues since. I drove it from Orlando, Florida to Toronto,CA and back without issue. It calculates where and how long to charge to continue your trip.
Again, everyone gives it shit but the "self-driving" is 10/10 on the highway ( 7/10 on local roads). It's not fancy lane assist and you'd have to be literally sleeping at the wheel to crash while it's engaged. It made driving there and back a breeze.
Best car I've driven so far. Hands down.
The model Y comfort and quality is garbage compared to any Audi, BMW, or ESPECIALLY Porsche. You are on crack if you think Tesla quality is above the Germans. It's a shitty muscle car with a good drivetrain.
I have driven the iX and Taycan several times and comfortability is just better in a Tesla. My brother in law is very well off. He has a Mercedes, Porsche, bmw, McLaren and a Tesla. He rather daily drive the Tesla.
🙄 the y is nowhere nowhere near taycan. You are off your rocker.
My brother in Christ, I have put several hours behind the taycan. The model Y is a better daily driver imo.
You are delusional.
You've driven both to compare?
Yes. 150 miles in the Tesla and 400 in the taycan plus a Porsche driving experience in the taycan in Atlanta. The Porsche is significantly nicer inside and is a better feeling car overall. The Tesla feels cheap for the price (more so than even Audi) but it has the non idiotic charging. Unless you are using super chargers every day I would spend more on the taycan.
I own a v90 recharge, so I've turo'ed heavily in that price bracket before making the choice on a PHEV which better suits my needs.
Taycan is nicer inside and has a better feel driving but overall the Tesla wins me over. The space for my family, charging network, accessing everything on the screen, self driving and just Tesla's software overall, I think it really out does the Porsche
