A Tesla Model Y Owner Says, “Once You Go Tesla, It’s Impossible To Go Back To Any Other Vehicle.” He adds, “I Test Drove a BMW i4 & a Hyundai Ionic 5, But They Don’t Compare To Tesla’s Technology”

You can't go back because the Tesla resale value is about that of a used Big Mac. Tesla technology is buggy and outdated

Really?! They didn't even bother to proof read the headline 🙄

"I Tesla drove a BMW..." 😂

Easily went from owning a Model 3 and Tundra to a Ford F-150 Lightning. It was by far the best move. Ford nailed this vehicle. And made the EV ownership experience better than the quirkiness of the Tesla experience. Prime example was using the app as a key. Tesla was often hit or miss if it would work. Flawless with the Ford. It still gets the original 320 miles range after 3-1/2 years of ownership and 40k miles on the odometer. And the range estimator is better than Tesla's.

I bought a Tesla model y six months ago. I don't see how I could ever go back to a gas car or even another ev. The software and hardware work so well together and the FSD makes traveling so easy. My son bought a model 3 9 months ago and he says the same thing. Driving anything else seems so out of date.

I agree. The comment saying "once you buy a Tesla, you get another" is so true. I have a M3 and MX right now, love them both.

I've been a Tesla owner since 2013, fist a MS P85...55,000 miles....2017 moved to. MX 75D....60,000 miles (with FSD), then to a 2020 MY Long Range ...58,000 miles and FSD too. In Sept got the MY Juniper ang took my FSD with me. I started crosscountry trips in in 2015 from Seattle to Ohio that year with another xcountry drive to New York in the next year. So I've had 9 xcountry trips in some iteration of a Tesla. It was cutting teeth in 2017 iteration of FSD....and each year only incrementally better. My 2025 xcountry trip in first Gen MY still had phantom breaks and abrupt maneuvers (HW3).....but the Juniper was a leap into the future so far with v14. Long trips were always very easy with the super charger network.
Yes, once you drive one you'll suffer some issues, but OTAs and charging will overcome most everything. As proof of my satisfaction, we also have a Volvo C40 recharge, much better build and reliability but the tech and charging are woefully inferior.

Any of these have an indicator stick.

I bought a used 2015 model S and it is an amazing vehicle. The technology is years ahead. 10 years ago Tesla had what everybody else has now. Two years of ownership and insurance is the largest expense. If this one ever wears out I will definitely replace it with another Tesla, but this one seems to be holding up well.

Excellent Tesla advertising but at the end of the day it's a use case for individual owners. I brought 6 Tesla in one go and regretted that decision for various reasons, all I can say is the next batch will not be Tesla.
Tesla sales don't fall for no reasons if all owners loves so much that cannot go back.

We bought our first Tesla, the 2022, model 3 for my wife. A year later I bought another model 3.
I tend to describe owning the Tesla EV’s as “bulletproof” only replacing tires or air filters.
On December 30 2025, we replaced my model 3 with the Premium Model Y. And after just a couple of days absolutely love it.
There was about a three week span where I had to have my model 3 repaired due to being hit by another driver.
During this time I was provided a loaner. It was a gas vehicle. For those three weeks it felt like I had gone from a rocket ship to a horse and buggy. Slow, noisy, sluggish.
No I cannot imagine not owning Tesla’s from here on out.

No other car provides nearly enough funding to destroy the infrastructure of america or signal your love for the Nazi party. There just aren't any other options.

I agree. Once you own a Tesla, nothing else compares.

I leastd an updated model three AWD that still had FSD 13. I love the car, my wife was more ambivalent about it until she had a chance to drive it and insisted that I trade in a 2016 Lexus and lease her another Tesla, which, of course I did. With the upgraded FSD 14 the car is even better. It’s a little slow in parking lots and sometimes doesn’t take the most optimal exit from a parking lot, but beside that 14 is truly amazing and does make other cars seem like they’re really behind the times it makes driving a lot more relaxing, and while I feel that I still do need to monitor it it handles 99% of all situations correctly. I was particularly impressed with the fact that it slowed down during snowy weather to a speed that was more appropriate and felt safer. It even noticed a police car who was stopping somebody behind me. It slowed down and pulled over, but the police were after the person who was behind me and not me. Using FSD is like the paddle shifters on other cars, they’re there, you might use them every now and then when you feel frisky, but for the most part, I just let the car drive and use the time to listen to interesting podcasts or make phone calls. The dual motor all wheel drive has almost 400 hp, more than enough for any normal situation short of drag racing or track use.
