"Tesla Model Y is a futuristic car when we look at its features and design. It’s basically a crossover SUV that is practical for city driving and highway cruising. It can be your goto car for long trips because of its exceptional driving range."
"The fully autonomous driving experience in the Tesla Model Y surprised me completely. It keeps driving at a steady speed by going around the traffic and obstacles smoothly. Though it feels a bit scary at first, you eventually get used to driving a fully self-driven car. You can take back the driving controls anytime you want by simply adjusting the steering wheel or pressing the accelerator or brake pads."
