First Tesla and I’m blown away

stevo0929 | 2026-03-10 17:45 | 391 views

Never owned a Tesla before. My job charges EVs for free and I wanted to look at one. Test drove a white model Y with white interior. Went with black interior. I’m so blown away, this thing is so pretty!

Congrats! Another RWD! So interested in your opinions. I am on the “is this fast enough” fence. Looks great in Stealth Grey

norf937 2026-03-10 17:55

I stayed on that fence through a Y dual motor LR, then a Y performance. We now have an X Plaid and I can finally say it’s fast enough lol.

dlogrttocs 2026-03-10 17:57

Lmfao…so…no then?

no_baseball1919 2026-03-10 18:17

I actually really like the stealth Grey, glad it's the free option haha

stevo0929 2026-03-10 18:18

Always loved that color it was between this and the diamond black. Really happy with this color.

I just went from an LR AWD Y ‘23 (with acceleration boost no less) to a Premium RWD ‘26 Y — it’s fast enough.

dlogrttocs 2026-03-10 18:22

This is a solid and relevant datapoint. TY

cac2573 2026-03-10 18:24

I’m enjoying seeing the efficiency numbers that I’d never see otherwise. Like 240 Wh/mile for real.

no_baseball1919 2026-03-10 18:27

Black is nice but for some reason I also really dig the white. Something about white just says Tesla to me lol

Saloncinx 2026-03-10 18:45

I have a dual motor LR with acceleration boost, it's a blast. I absolutely do not need a performance, but i'm glad I don't have a RWD

Username000-1 2026-03-10 19:00

That’s a nice looking car. 🥳

Zestyclose_Paint3922 2026-03-10 19:09

Best color.

ander9991 2026-03-10 19:19

Congrats! What a beauty.

dlogrttocs 2026-03-10 19:24

You’re not helping lol

One-Caterpillar9264 2026-03-10 19:55

What did you all drive before going Tesla??

Bi9Daddy78 2026-03-10 20:12

Eyy! Stealth Grey! Love the color in the sun. I will just stand there and admire the pearl once in a while.

Itsme21634 2026-03-10 20:31

So pretty! I was set on getting one until I realized no more autopilot without paying.

Saloncinx 2026-03-10 20:46

sorry haha. to be fair I have a very short commute, so i'm not looking for 'fuel economy' I want zoom-zoom. the efficiency gain from a RWD is really nice though if you need it

2020 genesis g70

dlogrttocs 2026-03-10 20:48

Naw all good, I am using OPs post to gauge the communities vibe in the acceleration. I’m really looking for permission since despite the acceleration difference, the Premium RWD trim on the Y is phenomenal package

Congratulations I’m gonna get the same exact spec

ifitsmeanttobe 2026-03-10 21:10

Lovely. I never considered getting an EV til my husband got our MYP. Now I don’t ever want an ice car again

Ballbm90 2026-03-10 22:10

I really love the grey too!

dkpnw 2026-03-10 22:41

Just picked up a '26 Y Premium RWD, coming from a '21 Y Long Range AWD with AccelBoost. I have decided confidently that it's still plenty fast enough for my liking. It doesn't have the same punch, but it's still plenty quick.

I wish I could afford an X. Zoom for me

_raytheist_ 2026-03-10 22:50

Picking up MY first Tesla tomorrow, and I’m excited because I wasn’t sure whether Stealth was the right color choice until now! 🔥🔥🔥

LightxDarkness93 2026-03-10 23:12

Best color and its free! Glad i got mine!

Wahoowa15 2026-03-10 23:17

With the black wheels 😍

Defiant_Researcher51 2026-03-11 01:04

I got the exact same version.

Schnitzhole 2026-03-11 01:29

I hope you were impressed by something other than just the looks? I agree though, i have the same gray AWD Y. It’s a looker. I wonder how it will be looking back in 2-3 years when these are everywhere

stevo0929 2026-03-11 01:38

Yeah I didn’t go into detail but it’s definitely more than the looks. The drive is incredibly smooth. The interior is absolutely incredible. I love the lighting and the absolutely insane sound system. The whole thing is an experience. Like I’ve seen others say when getting their first Tesla it’s almost overwhelming. There’s so much to like. I’m sure in a week I’ll be ranting about the screen in the back and what it can do.

Balancedone_1 2026-03-11 03:48

I test drove the white but went with silver. The white is nice but I see so many of the last gen in white. Maybe that was a free color at one point?

Balancedone_1 2026-03-11 03:51

Congrats the new design is 🥵

xjaycodes 2026-03-11 05:38

We’re a week in, same spec only with white interior - be prepared to spend some more $! 🤣

drdonger60 2026-03-11 11:53

Great color and car

StephanPNguyen 2026-03-11 12:11

I love my Model Y too

zac3707 2026-03-11 13:24

why? i've owned mine for a few months and havent had to spend anything. the car is nearly perfect (except for the fact that it doesnt catch liquid coming off the windshield on the drivers side???)

zac3707 2026-03-11 13:35

Audi RS5

Complex_Appeal_6189 2026-03-11 13:52

Me too

Schnitzhole 2026-03-11 14:39

I think most people will want some accessories like the little trays for the center console, sun shade for top, floormats. I personally prefer they keep the cost lower and let me buy these things on the aftermarket on the cheap. Most people also don’t realize all the carpeting helps lower the interior sound immensely before they cover them with hard mats. From my research this is definitely the best car for the price on the market. The only complaints i have are pretty minor honestly: - windshield wipers go off randomly (new camera area cleaning mode is useful though) - removal of EAP and autosteer - damn I’m forgetting one, but theres so few 😅 - paint being easy to scratch because water based

zac3707 2026-03-11 14:53

I agree. This is the first ever car I have not bought floormats for. I love kicking off my shoes and feeling my feet on the soft carpeted mats. It really does insulate the sound so much better. Everything about the wipers could be improved.. the pressure of the wipers, the options of speeds, the auto function with FSD. I do agree it really is the best car on the market for the money. I rode in a friends Mercedes S class and every feature he showed me on his nearly 200k car, I have in my tesla. And his mercedes can't drive itself, so...

Putrid-Box4866 2026-03-11 15:30

Yeah me too. Only regret it I should have gotten the white seats.

xjaycodes 2026-03-11 15:46

I mean’t for accessories… I should have clarified 🤣 I spent $470 on tints, front & windscreen and like another $120 on small stuff like storage organizer trays, matte screen protector and a cover for the pan glass roof since I’m in LA and well… right now, we’re looking at 90+ for the next two weeks 🤣

stevo0929 2026-03-11 17:21

I’m literally getting ceramic tint right now haha. Going back later to get the ceramic coating. I’m in Florida so I don’t want this thing to bake too much 😂

xjaycodes 2026-03-11 18:19

Nice! I think I’ll go down PPF route and do it myself at home - I picked up one of these too: [Wigoo 2025 Tesla New Model Y Juniper Roof Sunshade](https://a.co/d/06qgGgP2) Also, if you’re home charging (as from what I’ve read, for the best of experiences, we should be AND are thinking about extension cord - I also got a 10/3/15amp 10FT extension cable I used last night for 15 hours, no overheating, no drop in charge rate etc - picked up 21% in 15 hours- DYOR of course but for me, first time went well 🤙🏽

The white looks so nice irl pics don’t do justice

Schnitzhole 2026-03-12 02:21

Yeah I’m actually a huge car guy and got my First Tesla/EV 8months ago. It’s a very strange feeling, I have no desire to own or learn about any other car anymore as they all seem to pale in comparison to this new Juniper. Im sure the highland is good too but I need the extra space. Ive been in many $100k+ cars an while some materials and finish are nicer nothing beats Teslas tech integration, even before you factor in FSD (which i use about 80% of my drives and have over 7k miles on). Even the 2026 Model X loaner I got for a few days i wanted to have my Juniper back within about 30 minutes. It had so many rattles and other little things I didn’t care for. For a car that costs more than 2x as much, I get why they are killing it off. I think a bigger style SUV would still sell great but they have to make it more affordable in the $50-60k range.

StormTrpr66 2026-03-12 02:54

I wanted the white interior but not the constant cleaning that comes with it. And mine is definitely a "working" vehicle that will carry a lot of heavy gear, sometimes dusty, plus I have dogs. I got black and plan on getting some white seat covers which I don't have to worry too much about like I would the actual seats.

Putrid-Box4866 2026-03-12 03:03

Yeah it doesn’t make sense on your situation, but it’s basically me using the car in my case and I don’t use more than going somewhere not carrying extra that might get it dirty. Oh well, black is still good.

Traditional_Back_547 2026-03-12 05:32

The Model Y's taillights look amazing at night!

Bcoool1 2026-03-13 03:24

Yea. Love the color congrats 🥳 enjoy welcome to Tesla.
