NEW 2026 Tesla Model Y Review | My Complaints & True Thoughts

This is my own 2026 Tesla Model Y, the premium rear wheel drive, after 14 months and just over 12,000 miles. I go through the good and the bad, what the software updates changed, and where the money actually goes once you add full self driving. Then I answer whether I would buy this exact trim again.
