    I can confirm Model Y has tons of head room and leg room, at least for this 6’3” guy. And you can get a roof rack (looks silly though). So far I’ve been very happy with it.

    I had wanted to wait for the “Juniper” release, but needed a car earlier than expected

      Have you driven a 2024 model 3? They removed the stalks on the sides of the steering wheel, I’m assuming they’re going to do the same for the Juniper. The turn signals are buttons on the front of the wheel and I hate it. Apparently you can get aftermarket stalks installed.

      I love roof racks. The first things I got for my 3 were a roof rack and window tints.

      I’m 6’4" and have plenty of head room in the 3 unless I’m sitting in the back for some reason.

        Yeah the turn signal switches do not appear to be a good change, nor the swipe to switch it it into gear, but I expect it to be a minor annoyance rather than a deal breaker.

        The new Model 3 looks better, rides smoother, is more efficient, and is quieter: that seems like a big deal. I also like that the back seat has hvac controls and weren’t the front seats ventilated?

        I haven’t sat in a model 3 since they first came out- I didn’t want to because I didn’t want emotion to overcome my choice of spending money. At the time, both that and the model S had an awkward door and pillar, making access a little frustrating to those of us who are both tall and have bad knees. Model Y was the clear choice for my knees

          Yeah, I really like all the other changes. It does have ventilated seats, as does the non-Juniper 2024 model Y.

          Knees are important. I was really tempted to go with the Y over the 3. Sometimes when I’m camping I wish I had gone with the Y for the extra space, but I’m thoroughly enjoying the 3.
