Some of my observations when driving a Tesla Model Y: 

— Fastest car I've ever driven, amazing acceleration. Passing other cars at will is literally instantaneous. 

— Computer interface was good. 

— Phone charging by just laying it on the center console. 

— Navigation brought us to charging stations along the way on our 13 hour drive. 

— Wasn't the smoothest drive - we felt every tiny bump, and big bumps were jarring. 

— Playing music and podcasts sounded great due to no engine noise! 

— It beeps when the person in front of you jams on the brakes, AND when you swerve toward or over any lines. 

— Getting in for the first time it took us a bit to figure out how to "start" it, put it into gear, etc. 

— Overnight it loses about 7-10 percent charge. (in the cold, at least) 

— Wipers can be set to automatic, which worked well.
