After driving a new rental Model Y for 1000+ miles recently, my biggest complaints are:
* The sound proofing feels as if it did not exist. The cabin noise in my family's old minivan is even quieter than in this car.
* The ride is incredibly bumpy (I hear this issue is specific to the Model Y?). You feel each and every bump, even on newly paved roads.
* Autopilot, at least on the roads I drove on, was significantly worse than other manufacturer's lane-following systems. I was driving on straight highways that frequently switched between one lane and two lanes. Without fail, every time the two lanes merged into one, autopilot would get confused and jerk the steering wheel left, steering the car past the double yellow lines (USA) into the oncoming traffic lanes. The screen's depiction of what the car saw did not match reality at all in this situation.
* The automatic emergency braking triggered at least once every time I was on the highway.
There were definitely things I did like about the car, but I would never consider personally buying a Tesla for the reasons above.
