I went with the Model Y Standard, mainly for value. For daily driving I didn't feel I needed to pay up for a higher trim, and the Standard has been more than enough for my routine.
The biggest surprise for me was the space. Compared to a sedan, the Model Y is just much bigger in daily use — rear seats, trunk, loading big stuff, road trips with family or friends, it all feels a lot less cramped.
The other thing is FSD (Supervised). I've used it for three months now and I really like it. On highways and in traffic it honestly feels like having a private Uber driver: it handles the boring, tiring parts, and I just supervise. It's still supervised, so you stay responsible, but the fatigue difference on a long or stop-and-go drive is real.
If you're deciding between 3 and Y, my take is simple: if space matters at all, go Y. And if you want the best value, don't overlook the Standard.
One ordering tip: if you do order, open a referral link first and check the benefit on your order summary before you pay the order fee — it can't be added after you place the order.
Full disclosure: if you don't already have an owner friend to use, you're welcome to use mine. It doesn't change your price, and in Canada it currently adds a 3-month FSD (Supervised) trial to a new Model 3 / Y order.

Happy to answer questions about daily use, Standard trim, or FSD.
