Tesla Model Y

Some of the times, it's quite disconcerting. Doing 101 on a national road, no traffic and the car suddenly slows. I can usually catch it by the 90kph mark, not sure how low it would go. So it's not like it suddenly throws out the anchor. Other times, it's unsure and will ease off to 97/98. Those times I let it sort itself out. Shadows on the road would be the main, but not only cause.

The auto wipers on cruise control would be a much bigger gripe of mine. I now wash the windscreen in front of the cameras before every trip and carry an emergency bottle of water and sponge in the car with me just for that. Otherwise the wipers would happily dry wipe for km after km. I'm sure that auto lights will p1ss me off equally in the winter time. Don't get me started on the auto distance keeping and reducing the cruise control speed without my express permission. I prefer to drive a car than have it drive me. So I'd much prefer dumb cruise control, set a speed and I'll look after the rest, instead of "car knows best".

I have my foot on the accelerator to correct a phantom break. Works out nicely most of the time.

Well, yes. HW4 is newer and has better cameras and a faster processor. Later is nearly always better in technology, just a fact

I think many would understand (and appreciate) why the car slows when approaching a vehicle (within a range distance that is defined by the user) when cruise control functionality is enabled. Surely thats a positive feature.....🤔

Ah jaysus, really? Is it because it's a new car? Do people target new regs often?

Some people are real a**holes!

"Well done" somebody. I hope the sentry was on.

If anyone in the Wexford area is looking for Model Y bits and pieces I've put some in the For Sale thread there and also on adverts.ie.

Save waiting for stuff from China and wondering re customs charges. if you need mats, wheel covers and a few other bits and pieces, all new or as new.

Software can only operate on the data collected by the hardware though. If you've no sensor you can't extract data out of thin air. You CAN use machine learning techniques to give a probabilistic outcome but these are not as accurate as the real life scenario.

As is intimated here in other comments, the problem here (and still with the current iteration of both HW3 and HW4) is that because of Musks pride/ego, they removed important sensors needed for accurate results. Phantom breaking is reportedly worse since the removal of the USS, Tesla Vision is a step back also, I seriously doubt that an original MS on AP1 will be able to handle FSD if it ever arrives.

Yes the cost reduced, but we all know that the margins are very healthy in MY and M3 and to me they went a bit too far in their cost savings. I wouldn't be surprised if they added back the USS or added a nose camera soon.

In fairness I agree with what @ModelWhy said, he's not wrong. I'm still picking up a model Y shortly.

Bang for buck it's still the best proposition.

That sucks. Had mine a week and some moron decided to park on top on me and dinged my door. Got him on the camera and got his registration. So have it sorted now. He is paying.

Some people are just assholes.

I can certainly understand your disappointment however, you can let your experience(s) continue to annoy/upset you and the only one impacted will be yourself.

The reality is that you have been offered a car with a delivery date but (regardless of logistical challenges around pickup) you seem to be in two minds as to whether you wish to wait for a refresh model with HW4 etc. When you distill this down this is a decision that only you can make but you will most likely feel better when you make the decision.

Tesla cars are always changing and if you do wait until HW4 is available the next dillema will be whether you want to wait for the refresh version of Model Y ...and so it continues. What I am really saying is do your best to make a decision and then you can move forward whatever decision that is. Remind yourself also as to what attracted you to the car to begin with and FWIW I definitely think there is nobody who can come close to comparable value (15K less than a year ago).

Best of luck with whatever you decide

This is the most logical answer if you actually want one. It’s not like you’ll really miss out on the well documented experience of collecting a dusty/dirty new car from the yard in NVD.
