Tesla News from a Non-Tesla Owner
Knowing which news to believe and that to take with a grain of salt as the old saw goes, can be difficult at times---especially when an automotive make and model is so widely popular that its fan-base can have the fervor of a favored baseball team.

Fortunately, we have a rare opportunity for a respected non-Tesla mechanic to provide us with his take as he reviews a Tesla Model Y and explains what works and what does not.
