I’m actually in a market for a car now, I test drove a Tesla Model Y two days ago… and it bums me that I didn’t like it. I wanted to like it so bad. 😂

Will probably keep my RAV4 and add Comma AI OpenPilot to it.

what did you dislike about the Tesla? 🤔

curious about Comma AI, saw some videos about it long time ago

I’m sure some settings could be dialed in a bit, and there is a good chance most of these are things you get used to and fade away after a while, but mostly:

1) The car is very heavy and you feel it.

2) Side mirrors are small, and the blind spot camera is jarring.

3) There are a lot of things happening on the screen while driving it was distracting.

4) they told me I can’t turn off the re-gen breaking, I didn’t like that, and also I had another electric vehicle, and I came to the conclusion that letting the car coast a bit saves more battery than regen slowing down and needing to accelerate again.

I thought the supercharger network was free, not sure where I got that from, but to fill up the car you need about 40 minutes of slots where available immediately, and costs around $20 for 270miles. I don’t have a charger at home so I will be depending on this.

All in all, I enjoyed driving my RAV4 way more when I left the dealership.

I liked the chime it makes when a the traffic light turns green though. 😄
