When I bought my 2024 Model Y, I expected Tesla to teach me how to use the most advanced car I'd ever owned. What I got was a fifteen-minute handover and a "you'll figure it out" attitude.
Six months later, I was still making rookie mistakes that were costing me money and stress.
Daily Frustrations
I couldn't figure out how to get into car wash mode without panicking that I'd damage something. My charging habits were probably destroying my battery health, but nobody told me the right way to do it. I was missing phone calls because the Bluetooth integration made no sense to me.
Wasted Potential
The worst part? I knew I was only using maybe half of what my $60,000 investment could actually do. Every time I discovered a new feature by accident, I wondered what else I was missing.
