No, just the ones on DCUM. My neighbor and friend are fine.

+1 crazy cost to fix it. Insurance on them reflects that, too. People would rather sell it than repair it.

Of more than 120 Model Ys that were totaled after collisions, then listed at auction in December and early January, the vast majority had fewer than 10,000 miles on the odometer, according to online data from Copart and IAA, the two largest salvage auction houses in the United States.

I have a friend who got one because it was cheaper than an accord. They aren’t anything special and they seem like a pain in the behind to own. No thanks.

I just wish they'd learn how to park straight.

The Tesla Model Y is in the top 10 most sold cars in the US. I think over 250,000 were sold last year and that number should increase this year due to the Federal tax credits.

My brother is definitely not the stereotype. Not an Elon fanboy, not an insufferable environmental type. Just a married father who’s always been interested in fast and interesting cars.

This is changing as the vehicle is getting more affordable. I don't own the car because I drive 3000 miles a year and not into technology. I own a lot of stock though. I hope it doesn't make me righteous or fake.
I have three relatives who own one, but they are all into speed and technology, definitely not fake.

Is it me or can anyone else tell a Tesla person from far away?
