• Chassis Harness Recall (February 2026): Specific models are being recalled for a potential failure of the harness, which can trigger the parking brake while driving, according to Kelley Blue Book.
• Previous Issues (20232024): Early production models faced significant software issues that led to a voluntary stop-sale in late 2023, requiring major software updates. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

I have had a model Y for 3 years and 80k miles and have not even noticed a single "recall"

Those minor things get fixed with the simple software updates.

And the best thing is Tesla has the grown up adult version of Super Cruise, available on any street in any situation at any time.

O wow thanks for information

Ok, you were the one to raise recalls and Consumer Reports, so I thought those were important metrics for you.

Consumer Reports Rating: The 2023 Tesla Model Y Reliability has moved into the "about average" reliability category, despite 15+ recalls.

While it's one of many datapoints, I don't put a ton of weight on recalls since they can be quite varied in their individual impact. I think the OP might be more interested in day to day life with the vehicle, I believe a Blazer SS EV might be slightly faster than a Model Y Long range (not a Performance trim Y), but the Model Y is less expensive, significantly lighter, and has comparable or larger passenger and cargo space than the Blazer even though the overall vehicle footprint of the Y is smaller. It's a better package in the Y, choosing the Blazer would be based on aesthetics rather than the drivetrain or usability.
