Still wouldn’t buy one
Given Elon’s shenanigans, and the continued lack of Android Auto / CarPlay, I’m eyeing the EV6, Ionic, or the smaller Volvo ex30. Although, I’ll be honest, the Model Y does a really good job of nailing price, size, and range.
I ended up buying a Y in 2022 (worst time unfortunately but needed a car). Kia/Hyundai wanted $7500 over MSRP and the Ford dealer was even worse with markups ($12k over MSRP).
I got an older generation of this MagSafe mount so I could use different mapping apps.
I had an order for a Rivian R1S but it was more expensive and has the same anti-carplay/Android Auto nonsense so I just got my deposit back. I'm going to stick with the Y until it dies then I hope Porsche Macan EV isn't too unreasonable.
