Still wouldn’t buy one
- Given Elon’s shenanigans, and the continued lack of Android Auto / CarPlay, I’m eyeing the EV6, Ionic, or the smaller Volvo ex30. Although, I’ll be honest, the Model Y does a really good job of nailing price, size, and range.
  
  It'll need to be ionic for us. We're not people who can throw that much cash at a car.
  
  Why not the Volvo then? It’s like $8-10k cheaper than the Y, Ionic, and EV6.
  
  Although it is a smaller EUV.
  
  I ended up buying a Y in 2022 (worst time unfortunately but needed a car). Kia/Hyundai wanted $7500 over MSRP and the Ford dealer was even worse with markups ($12k over MSRP).
  
  I got an older generation of this MagSafe mount so I could use different mapping apps.
  
  I had an order for a Rivian R1S but it was more expensive and has the same anti-carplay/Android Auto nonsense so I just got my deposit back. I'm going to stick with the Y until it dies then I hope Porsche Macan EV isn't too unreasonable.
- I have to allow an onboard camera. Fuck off Tesla.
