Almost two months ago, the 20th of June, I exchanged my 2023 Tesla Model 3 LR AWD for a 2024 Tesla Model Y LR AWD. There were three things that made me do the switch :
I made a thread about my Model 3 after a month of ownership and since then, one thing has changed: the adition of the red alert in the camera image when a car is in the blind spot which IMO is very effective
The efficiency compared between the two is surprisingly close : about 10% in average. That's pretty awesome for a car that is larger (height, width and weight) than my Model 3.

An exemple of efficiency when I drive longish trips (to and from work)
An exemple of efficiency when I drive short trips (doing grocery) :
The above pictures show that the Tesla Model Y in short commutes usage is less efficient. Which is understandable.
And yes, I always use the HVAC in Auto 21C.
I have FSD (monthly subscription) and I drive my Tesla Model Y mostly in FSD to train the AI with Montreal driving, not only California driving. It is not perfect, but it is consistent : it makes always the same mistakes. Which is a great thing, because this way I know beforehand in what situations it will behave different than expected. And it is better and better with every iteration.
- the price and incentives we had here for 2024, in Canada
- the HW4 in the Model Y
- the tow hitch
