Two years, 40,000 km and a long road trip: a nuanced verdict
A Swiss owner draws a balanced conclusion after two years and 40,000 km, documenting extended road trips through southern Europe. He doesn't hold back on criticism – worn-out suspension bushings after 38,000 km and annoying phantom braking – yet at the same time praises the outstanding efficiency of 16.9 kWh average consumption.
Takeaway
The verdict is deliberately double-edged: on the plus side is an outstanding average efficiency of 16.9 kWh, which makes the Model Y a near-ideal long-distance EV.
On the minus side are suspension wear after 38,000 km and the well-known phantom braking. An honest, balanced report that shows: technically excellent, but not yet perfect in certain details.
