2021 Tesla Model Y review: Nearly great, critically flawed
I&#x27;ve owned a Model X for a year. It dates from before they removed radar, so autopilot still works very well.<p>The rest of the car, however, does not. It is the least reliable car I have ever known. I am currently tracking ten faults, and waiting for my fifth service, which could only be booked with nearly a month to wait.<p>The most serious faults involve the car sometimes failing to start without a hard reboot first (!), and then a constant stream of non-sensical errors while driving, which cause it to beep loudly with no way to stop it.<p>Dear reader, do not make my mistake, do not buy a Tesla. But not for the usual anti-Tesla propaganda reasons. Autopilot works great. Even the weird &quot;falcon wing&quot; doors are actually very good. It&#x27;s just that the quality is awful and service is both overbooked and doesn&#x27;t actually fix things.<p>I&#x27;ve never regretted a car purchase more.<p>PS. Does anyone in the bay area want to buy a Model X? ;)
