Welcome to the Bearded Tesla Guy channel. I am glad you are here and hope you will stay awhile. I have long desired a Tesla of my own, and when the Model 3 launched, we decided to start saving, and saving aggressively. When the Model Y was announced, we finally had a target. We per-ordered the Model Y, and now we are acclimating our family to the Tesla lifestyle.
I am happy to share our experiences of living with the Tesla Model Y and hope that you get some value exploring the car with us. If you too have a family, you will hopefully find that the Model Y is indeed a very compelling family car.
