Y would you?

I noted the comments about poor ride comfort in your Tesla Model Y road test. Various reports over the past couple of years have mentioned the less than perfect ride comfort of Teslas, but not to the degree that you pointed out.

What stood out for me was your criticism of the touchscreen system, which, while it might work in part, has to be very distracting. It’s so far from the driver’s line of sight; it has to take up time to use when the driver isn’t looking at the road; and the lack of anywhere to rest your hand during the operation is also far from ideal.

Yet despite all of your negative comments, you still gave it four stars.

What’s more, the Full Self Driving Capability option costs £6800, and it’s not even legal to use it in the UK!

So we have a poor ride, a distracting touchscreen and an interior with all the style and quality of a fridge’s, yet there are a lot of these things about. I can only conclude that people will put up with a great deal to pay the minimum tax on their company cars.
