Just last night Elon announced that in a future update you will be able to turn on your turn signal and the corresponding side camera will show up in full screen until you turn the indicator off.
I've also noticed that the door needs to be firmly swung closed. My wife is a door slammer anyways (she always slams doors shut and now likes to slam Vett's and Camaro's) If it has a little red line under "duel motors" it's fun!
Your review was professional and transparent. I think my Model 3 was one of my best decisions in my 55 years of driving. My car has saved several bicycle riders who were saved by the sensors as they ran stop signs or shot into the street doing 30-40 MPH DOWN a hill where the driver could not respond in time saving them from injury or worse. Looking forward to future updates and love the fact that it sees stop lights and stop signs.
Ivan, upgrade to the duel motor performance you won't regret it. You may not be smiling all the way to the bank but you will if your driving the Y performance!
We got our Model Y 2 weeks ago and we are thrilled! It is such a great car. We had no fit and finish problems and it was delivered to our house! Awesome!
First time Tesla buyer. Traded my Mercedes GLE AMG, for the Model Y performance. I went from a non believer to jumping on the bandwagon. The Model Y, is unmatched in my opinion. I've never experienced anything so well put together all around. Oh, and I'm smoking 98% of cars on the road.
@@Ean.oo7 🤔 not really I brought my GLE used with 600 miles (82,000 new to 69K used.... Traded it in with 6700 miles. 3K + added on the Model Y. Simple math son if you purchase your vehicle at a good price with good credit. Less chance you have of getting "smoked" 😂😂😂 but good theory 😁
Isn't it fun, I'm a lifelong GM guy, Camaro's Corvettes, Monza's with 400 cu in. small blocks (crazy fast Monza ran in the mid 12;s a full second slower than the Y! LoL) I'm still more comfortable in my full sized pick-ups but I just love driving the Tesla!
Andy, that was the best; most comprehensive and lucid explanation of a car I have ever listened to (and that is hundreds per year).

@@Brandon_letsgo It’s actually not. The problem with these coal power plants is that they can’t adjust to demand well. So at night they have plenty of excess power. Electric cars simply soak up excess power when you charge at night, which also has the cheapest rate. That’s the cleanest of the clean energy. It’s like eating leftover food at restaurants before they’re going to throw the food away.
Test drove one the other day and fell in love almost instantly. It looks so much better in person than it does in pictures/videos. Waiting probably until next year, once they start to figure out resolution for the cosmetic issues and all that. This review was awesome, I can’t wait to own one!
Exceptionally well done video, Andy. Top notch production and commentary. Aside from color, we got the exact same Model 3 and Model Y right around when you got each of yours. I agree 1000% with nearly every word of this review. Got the Y for my wife but I find myself taking it 80% of the time 😎 - fantastic vehicle in every aspect. Just an incredibly well designed and executed product overall, truly standing in a class of its own compared all other automakers. I feel like it’s 2009 again and I’m rocking an iPhone while everyone else is on their blackberries. 🤓 Any non-Tesla owner watching this and considering it for real - the only regret you’ll have is not jumping in sooner!
My Model 3 has literally made my life better. People might think it is just a car but it is really so much more. I have unlocked every map and character on Beach Buggy all while using the actual steering wheel. Sign in to TH-cam and boom thing loads up just as fast as the phone. I find myself not wanting to get out of the vehicle haha. And also if you live somewhere hot THE AC ON FULL BLAST IS REALLY SOMETHING AMAZING MATCHED BY NO OTHER! I work hard and I have to drive over an hour every day but it doesn't seem so bad when you put autopilot on. Tes live yo best life la.
Haha, we know the drill. We have been playing Fallout Shelter in our Tesla several times a day since the car got that game. A Tesla is really addictive :D
We just got the model y yesterday and are absolutely in love with it....We're 70+ and weren't sure we wanted such a tech centric vehicle but even after one day I wish I had bought one too, unfortunately I recently bought a new car that isn't a Tesla.....darn!! The new Tesla is my husbands new car! Thank you for this great video.
I need to have some fun in my last few years, so since I can't travel abroad, I'll settle for the U.S., traveling in a white AWD Model Y to be purchased next June. But I may end up selling it for a Cybertruck or if I don't like the feel of driving the Cybertruck, I'll sell the AWD white Model Y and get a red one with white seats and FSD. If I do that it will have to have a partial PPF since I'll be keeping it until death do us part.
If i had last couple years left on this crappy planet I would buy some RV and go travel in comfort. Buying a half baked boring EV like Model Y would be last on my list.
Your videos are incredibly high quality. I was thinking of buying a Model 3 within the next year and you definitely helped inform my decision to DEFINITELY buy a Model 3.
Funny thing about Model Y is that it grows on you, we are not used to simple things in cars and the centre screen has really changed the way we think about cars no need for too many screen just one, less distraction and more simplistic because simple is more and boy I love it.
Yrah i told my step dad to get the model x and he got a model y.....I CHANGED MY MIND! The model y went so fast i was car sick and it was so cool to power charge it ,in the garage so 10/10!
Amazing work! Love your review. Thank you for being straight to the point, extremely thorough, comparing features from this car to the others and actually showcasing what you are talking about. I hate when people create a 5min intro and adding extra segments that have nothing to do with the review. I really appreciate it because I'm looking into buying one and trying to get as much information as well as visually see these features for myself. I originally wanted to get the model S, but after watching your breakdown, I'd totally be okay with this model.lol.
Andy, I"m a happy Model Y owner after 3 weeks of use. I've seen a boatload of use and problem solving videos on the Y. Yours is by far the best. It's so good, I wish Tesla would use it as an introduction not only for a potential customer, but also for a new owner. GREAT WORK! Thank You!
Great video, Andy and seriously excellent film making. Your editorial pacing was nearly perfect too. As for the review of the car, it was extremely informative and helpful and actually made me want to trade in my S for the Y. Keep up the great work!
I watched the entire length of the video and I wish it was 45 minutes because it's very interesting. I didn't feel any boredom. One of the best product reviews I've seen. Subscribed.
Dear Andy, thx for your very good review! I got my Model 3 SR+ one year ago and I am so happy to have it and to drive it every single day! The Model Y is surely a better choice if you need the big spaceroom. On the other hand, you have to pay more than for the Model 3. I do more like the design of the Model 3 and I think to drive it a lot of years. But, if the Tesla Giga 4 in Grünheide is ready, I will check up the German build quality of the Model Y.....🖖🏼Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I love it! I test drove the Model Y AWD with FSD on July 16th. I liked it so much, I ordered one that same day. I'm getting the Long Range AWD with FSD in Pearl White, the standard 18" wheels and the tow package. On June 30th, I put in a reservation for a Cybertruck AWD, 300 mile range with FSD. Since the factory isn't built yet that's going to produce the Cybertruck, and the fact that I'm currently last in queue on the list, I feel it's going to be a good 3 to 4 years before it's ready for me. So, the Model Y was ordered. I'm very tired of the maintenance on my ICE car and feeding it Dino Juice. And I checked on my insurance and found that it won't go up that much. I hope Tesla goes nation wide with their insurance soon. Great episode! Thanks!!
Excellent review. Hard to understand how someone could give this review a thumbs down. But then again how could someone NOT vote Tom Seaver , ken Griffey junior, Derek Jeter into hall of fame.

Best review of the Model Y! I love all of the details that you captured . I'm thinking of upgrading from the M3 FSD to a MY with regular Autopilot and was bummed to miss out on the automatic lane change. I'm glad it's not as bad as I thought with your discovery :)
Maybe the two extra seat will be like the seats in the Nissan Qashqai+2. They are very small with a very high floor (just for small children) and when you don't need them you can fold them flat and that leaves you with the cargo space you would have in the normal vehicle.
Jim has said he is doing more movies but he is not back like he was he is not hungry for money like he was now he is only doing things he enjoys or stories he finds interesting money is no longer his primary motivator like it was in the Ace Ventura and Mask Days.
Just got my model y over the weekend and I definitely have to agree about the doors. You have to give a good amount of force to close them. My entire family has to open multiple times to close. I could only imagine how hard they would be to close without the window vent feature when you open and shut the door and it cracks window for you to lessen cabin pressure. Great vehicle all around and nothing that would prevent me from buying another.
As you show getting in and out of the model y is a whole lot easier than the model 3 I have and from the dimensions and higher driving position I guessed it would so I will be changing to a y when it finally comes to Scotland , but it’s certainly not as pretty as the 3 but when your 76 getting in and out is more important than looks 😂
Douglas Martin I have seen a video on TH-cam of someone showing how to program the seat in the m3 to raise it up to a comfort height automatically when you open the door, then the seat goes down to the driving position when you get in. You will have to do some research as I don’t remember who explained how to do it, good luck
Douglas Martyn - I, too, am having difficulties getting into and out of my Model 3. I’m 73 years old and have bad knees, so getting in and out can at times cause problems. I need to make a switch from the 3 to a Y but the cost would be too much for me at this time. When I ordered this 3, Which I picked up in December, I was told it would be next fall before I could get one and my everyday car at the time was just about to give out completely. So as much as I would like to purchase the Model Y, I’m just not going to be able to do it.
Dona Linder for me Dona getting out can be a struggle and one thing I got wrong initially was the setting I had the ‘easy entry easy exit’ set at. I initially set the seat as far back as I could get it to go but that restricted the height the seat would go to. I have changed that to get as near max height as it will go and then put it back till it starts to auto lower; that extra inch or so height helps me a lot. Role on the Y that extra height will be great for entry and exit and I prefer a high driving position anyway.
Great review. I’ve had a Model 3 since 2018 and as much as I like the car, the lack of blind spot monitoring on the side mirrors is ridiculous for such a technically advanced car. My Hyundai Elantra, which is much cheaper, has better blind spot monitoring. The Tesla’s screen will glow red on the left or righ lane as a substitute, but it only works when you initiate the turn signal and are ready to make your lange change. It does not give you advanced warning of a car on your side as side-view mirror detection would solve.
Fantastic review. Almost everything was covered quite well. You reviewed the back seats in the full upright and full reclined positions but isn't there a mid reclined position too?
I got mine in December 1st 2021 with the cast rear end fit & finish 99.999% perfect. Blue, 20" wheels had my first nail in the tire yesterday resulting in a slow leak. Took the tire off myself and had a patch repair (don't ever use a plug) First 2 places I took the car wouldn't touch it (batteries underneath) so I just jacked up the car at the locations underneath that can be jacked up & fixed the tire for a fraction of the cost of other alternatives. That includes the dealer. Loving the driving experience, specially in Standard mode.
Thank you for your extremely informative reviews (and entertaining). We made the jump to electric today, ordering our first Tesla Model Y!! See you around the Ville!
Great review. I bought my Tesla Model Y a couple weeks ago without ever seeing any of these videos. You do such a fabulous job of explaining ALL the reasons to buy one, I fell in love with mine (TessY) all over again! I'm forwarding this video to many of my friends who are asking why(Y) a Tesla?
Side mirror cameras active now when you push camera button or hit reverse an over the air update name me one car manufacturing company that does this? Just Love my new Y performance. Great review.
You seem to be the best videographer, narrator, scriptwriter, plus your amazing Tesla knowledge and experience! Outstanding video! I really want one of these cars. BUT... I want to know about the performance of this car IN THE SNOW compared to SUVs like Toyota Land Cruiser and Jeep which are clearly raised higher off the ground and might accommodate snowy conditions better than the Y. I will be living soon in North Idaho! Their winters are long. While I would LOVE to own a Y with everything Tesla provides, I may end up with an old fashioned piston-pusher just for its handling in the snow. So PLEASE make a video of your experience in snowy environments. That would be a great supplement! Thanks for making this one!
From a fellow 6'4" dude, thank you very much for all the insights related to tailgate height, seating position, rear headroom, etc. I never get a relevant take on these features from the more vertically-challenged car reviewers. :p
Best review on the net for Tesla Model Y . Thank you for getting me up to speed with all the car features. It’s like listening to Audibles “Tesla Model Y Edition”. New MYLR owner 033021 ! Thank you thank you! Awesome Job! Keep up the good work . TH-cam 🌟
It is certainly one of the best at having flaws. Hopefully a year from now many of the issues will be sorted (paint overspray, panel alignment and gaps, headliner assembly, rear seat flaws, headlight condensation, etc.).
I've also noticed that the door needs to be firmly swung closed. My wife is a door slammer anyways (she always slams doors shut and now likes to slam Vett's and Camaro's) If it has a little red line under "duel motors" it's fun!
You have definitely helped me and my family decide on the model Y. This was a fantastic and through review, best I’ve ever seen. I will forward this to friends who have questions about their potential purchase. Keep up the great work.
I wont go electric until charging stations are everywhere! And until i have my own house with a garage! I am a college student so we are talking about 10 years! But God bless Tesla for their efforts on helping the environment. I love the enthusiasm of these early adopters. You’re Heroes in my Book 🤞
Just by adding usb-c it's already the most innovative car out there 👍👍👍 Then, you add other 100 features that most of the other cars (event for this price) don't have
Nice. You mentioned a lot of comparisons to Model 3, but many shoppers are trying to decide between Y and X. It would be nice to see more comparisons there, such as storage room, ground clearance and towing capacity. It clearly has less gimmicks than X like the falcon doors and auto closing driver door on the X. Some are really useful like the adjustable ground clearance of the X. Thanks for all the great info. It will still help me decide which is right for me.
Proper adjustment of the sideview mirrors will eliminate the blind spots. Here are the directions: For drivers side put the left side of your head to the window, adjust the dirvers side mirror so you can just barely see the left side of the car in the mirror (at just the right most edge of the mirror). For the passenger side, lean over the center console, adjust the passenger side mirror so you can just barely see the right side of the car in the mirror (at just the left most edge of the mirror). As cars are disappearing from the rear view mirror they appear in the side view mirror, as they are disappearing from the side view mirror they will be visible from the window.
I need to have some fun in my last few years, so since I can't travel abroad, I'll settle for the U.S., traveling in a white AWD Model Y to be purchased next June. But I may end up selling it for a Cybertruck or if I don't like the feel of driving the Cybertruck, I'll sell the AWD white Model Y and get a red one with white seats and FSD. If I do that it will have to have a partial PPF since I'll be keeping it until death do us part.
Thanks for the great review! I've got one on order for European delivery. Hopefully any issues on build quality will be ironed out by the Germans in the new factory. Regardless, have my check list ready like your buddy in the last video. Keep the good content coming 👍🏽
Watched the whole video. Excellent review. Really enjoyed the cinematography and editing. I ordered a Model Y 3 weeks ago and just got my VIN. Super excited haha
Man oh man oh man ... thank you thank you for you ... ✨🏆✨ extensively detailed yet not longwinded detailed point by point review / analysis. I’m now subscribed, and got you under “Favourites”,“Watch Again” & my TESLA folder ... 💖👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩
There are some reason I will buy the model 3 over the y : - The rear visibility is very bad on the model y - the 3 feels sportier to drive this more fun
Yeah no, the rear visibility on the Model 3 is just as bad as the Y. If you're in reverse you wanna watch through your rear-camera-screen like 99% of the time.
@@TheSoroLP I test driven the model Y and the rear visibility is bad but not as bad as people try to make it seem. The side mirrors are big enough. The rear visibility on the model 3 is way better. Now for backing up... Even if the car has the world best visibility, if you have a camera as good as the tesla ones, just use it, the on screen track will tell you exactly where you are heading. I reverse parked the model Y without any peoblem, even better than with my car since I used the camera while with my car I have to turn and look back One thing that stay on my mind... I test driven the long range model Y and the acceleration... The best way to describe this is like being on a roller coaster, the non stop acceleration and the instant torque give you the exact same feeling. My 6 year old son was all joy everytime I floored the accelerator
Hey Andy, I'll be taking delivery of my Model Y in just over a week- the same midnight silver metallic you review in the video, though not the performance. I'd been humming and hawing on getting a Tesla since 2016, when I first made my choice to go fully electric. I went back and forth a number of times, and as recently as early March was convinced I'd be getting a Rav4 Prime as it seemed a much-more economical choice. When the pricing was finally announced (within CAD$10 of a Model Y!!!), I knew I'd regret not getting the Tesla for many of the reasons you mentioned. Every BEV contender I'd been tracking since 2016- from Volkswagen to Byton to Ford- ended up as wishful thinking vaporware, who all overpromised and underdelivered. Tesla seems to be doing the opposite. Key to their success seems is keeping all of their software in-house, which gives them the flexibility to deliver such an outstanding product and not sacrificing quality to put a few extra dollars in their pockets. Everyone else will be playing catch-up for some time to come.
Amazing review, excellent deliver of the minor issues you have and what needs to change on the car or cars. You are a huge asset to Tesla for sure. Thank you!!!!
Andy, just ordered a red MYLR for my wife and should be delivered in two days (Dallas). Absolutely love Tesla's embedded tech and being gas free. Have already preordered the Cyber Truck, just have to be patient on delivery. Thank you for all your relevant information across all of the Tesla line.
Andy, you do such a good job of demonstrating Tesla cars. I am a Model 3 owner who could never be talked out of that fabulous car. However I can tell my spouse might be shopping "Y" way for our next purchase. Note to self: start saving now.
You were, definitely, born to do this. Incredibly good explained, providing everything a man needs to know about the car. Congratulations and keep going this way 😉👍
My Y is being delivered in about 2 weeks. blown away by the demo. Can't wait to unload my MB that I'm told needs $4k of environmental sensors before it could be inspected. One final kick on the way out. No more ICE's for me.
MY next car will be a MY, in about two years or so. The only other consideration at this point would be a Cybertruck, but I haven't driven one of those yet. I doubt I will ever buy a gas car again honestly.
I got my Model y delivered two days ago. So far so good. There is a lot to learn. Your video was very helpful. I live in Maine and Tesla charged me $750 dollars for delivery. This is how much it would have cost me to fly to New Jersey and pick up the car at their Paramus location. Tesla needs to expand their network.
Well let me say this ... i make TH-cam videos and i 🥫 appreciate quality content when i hear it, and it has nothing to do with your equipment. This video was very informative an detailed to the core great job buddy great job

i did not watch full video also but driving in the rain with autopilot at 70 mp/h you call him professional!
I am 100% sold on the MODEL Y so I will be transitioning to FULL Electric around Christmas. Great Job Andy. YOU ROCK!
Right on!
Great news!
Me too as well!!
Wow I'm not the only one who will be upgrading by then as a goal.

Haha, we know the drill. We have been playing Fallout Shelter in our Tesla several times a day since the car got that game. A Tesla is really addictive :D
Fuck I really need to start saving up so I can be this high on my tesla lmao
I can't wait! Someday oh yes someday.
Sounds like you might be an accident waiting to happen.
An hour is merely average driving time.
We just got the model y yesterday and are absolutely in love with it....We're 70+ and weren't sure we wanted such a tech centric vehicle but even after one day I wish I had bought one too, unfortunately I recently bought a new car that isn't a Tesla.....darn!! The new Tesla is my husbands new car! Thank you for this great video.
I need to have some fun in my last few years, so since I can't travel abroad, I'll settle for the U.S., traveling in a white AWD Model Y to be purchased next June. But I may end up selling it for a Cybertruck or if I don't like the feel of driving the Cybertruck, I'll sell the AWD white Model Y and get a red one with white seats and FSD. If I do that it will have to have a partial PPF since I'll be keeping it until death do us part.
You’ll be able to travel across your homeland infecting people with COVID or being infected.
Mark Reynolds Good one...
If i had last couple years left on this crappy planet I would buy some RV and go travel in comfort. Buying a half baked boring EV like Model Y would be last on my list.
@@azerogliev6520 An RV is like a bad hotel that follows you around.
@@azerogliev6520 it would smoke whatever you drive
“Don’t deplete savings...” ha! This is what I’ve been saving for 😅
Your videos are incredibly high quality. I was thinking of buying a Model 3 within the next year and you definitely helped inform my decision to DEFINITELY buy a Model 3.
Funny thing about Model Y is that it grows on you, we are not used to simple things in cars and the centre screen has really changed the way we think about cars no need for too many screen just one, less distraction and more simplistic because simple is more and boy I love it.
Yes it's a grow-er not a show-er
jesus. you answered every question I had, especially with the difference between autopilot and fsd. Thank you sooo much for this vid!
Yrah i told my step dad to get the model x and he got a model y.....I CHANGED MY MIND! The model y went so fast i was car sick and it was so cool to power charge it ,in the garage so 10/10!
Amazing work! Love your review. Thank you for being straight to the point, extremely thorough, comparing features from this car to the others and actually showcasing what you are talking about. I hate when people create a 5min intro and adding extra segments that have nothing to do with the review. I really appreciate it because I'm looking into buying one and trying to get as much information as well as visually see these features for myself. I originally wanted to get the model S, but after watching your breakdown, I'd totally be okay with this model.lol.
Andy, I"m a happy Model Y owner after 3 weeks of use. I've seen a boatload of use and problem solving videos on the Y. Yours is by far the best. It's so good, I wish Tesla would use it as an introduction not only for a potential customer, but also for a new owner. GREAT WORK! Thank You!
Thanks Mac and congrats!
Great video, Andy and seriously excellent film making. Your editorial pacing was nearly perfect too. As for the review of the car, it was extremely informative and helpful and actually made me want to trade in my S for the Y. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Torv!
I watched the entire length of the video and I wish it was 45 minutes because it's very interesting. I didn't feel any boredom. One of the best product reviews I've seen. Subscribed.
Dear Andy, thx for your very good review! I got my Model 3 SR+ one year ago and I am so happy to have it and to drive it every single day! The Model Y is surely a better choice if you need the big spaceroom. On the other hand, you have to pay more than for the Model 3. I do more like the design of the Model 3 and I think to drive it a lot of years. But, if the Tesla Giga 4 in Grünheide is ready, I will check up the German build quality of the Model Y.....🖖🏼Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I love it! I test drove the Model Y AWD with FSD on July 16th. I liked it so much, I ordered one that same day. I'm getting the Long Range AWD with FSD in Pearl White, the standard 18" wheels and the tow package. On June 30th, I put in a reservation for a Cybertruck AWD, 300 mile range with FSD. Since the factory isn't built yet that's going to produce the Cybertruck, and the fact that I'm currently last in queue on the list, I feel it's going to be a good 3 to 4 years before it's ready for me. So, the Model Y was ordered. I'm very tired of the maintenance on my ICE car and feeding it Dino Juice. And I checked on my insurance and found that it won't go up that much. I hope Tesla goes nation wide with their insurance soon. Great episode! Thanks!!
Excellent review. Hard to understand how someone could give this review a thumbs down. But then again how could someone NOT vote Tom Seaver , ken Griffey junior, Derek Jeter into hall of fame.
Thanks Alfred!
@@aslye In 2019, about 73% of Kentucky's electricity net generation was coal-fired; 20% was natural gas; 0.5% was biomass(wood basically). So charging EVs in Kentucky is pretty dirt. 93,5% of the electricity the you use to charge your car generates a lot of pollution. Adding all the pollution of the battery production, it's not really a green vehicle.
Best review of the Model Y! I love all of the details that you captured . I'm thinking of upgrading from the M3 FSD to a MY with regular Autopilot and was bummed to miss out on the automatic lane change. I'm glad it's not as bad as I thought with your discovery :)
The best review I have watched, congrats! We are waiting for our Model Y, can't wait to get it. it is taking 3-6 weeks from the time we ordered it.
Maybe the two extra seat will be like the seats in the Nissan Qashqai+2. They are very small with a very high floor (just for small children) and when you don't need them you can fold them flat and that leaves you with the cargo space you would have in the normal vehicle.
THAT THE MASK REFERENCE!!
Feel bad that the minds of the younger generation are not getting as much Jim Carrey as they could.
SSSSMOOKKIINN
Jim has said he is doing more movies but he is not back like he was he is not hungry for money like he was now he is only doing things he enjoys or stories he finds interesting money is no longer his primary motivator like it was in the Ace Ventura and Mask Days.
So you're telling me there's a chance, yes.
@@aslye best intro ever 😆
and they need more cowbell as well.
Just got my model y over the weekend and I definitely have to agree about the doors. You have to give a good amount of force to close them. My entire family has to open multiple times to close. I could only imagine how hard they would be to close without the window vent feature when you open and shut the door and it cracks window for you to lessen cabin pressure. Great vehicle all around and nothing that would prevent me from buying another.
As you show getting in and out of the model y is a whole lot easier than the model 3 I have and from the dimensions and higher driving position I guessed it would so I will be changing to a y when it finally comes to Scotland , but it’s certainly not as pretty as the 3 but when your 76 getting in and out is more important than looks 😂
Yep Y is definitely easier for us tall folks :)
Douglas Martin I have seen a video on TH-cam of someone showing how to program the seat in the m3 to raise it up to a comfort height automatically when you open the door, then the seat goes down to the driving position when you get in. You will have to do some research as I don’t remember who explained how to do it, good luck
Don Register that is called Easy Access. You set it to where you want and then set your user access to use it.
Douglas Martyn - I, too, am having difficulties getting into and out of my Model 3. I’m 73 years old and have bad knees, so getting in and out can at times cause problems. I need to make a switch from the 3 to a Y but the cost would be too much for me at this time. When I ordered this 3, Which I picked up in December, I was told it would be next fall before I could get one and my everyday car at the time was just about to give out completely. So as much as I would like to purchase the Model Y, I’m just not going to be able to do it.
Dona Linder for me Dona getting out can be a struggle and one thing I got wrong initially was the setting I had the ‘easy entry easy exit’ set at. I initially set the seat as far back as I could get it to go but that restricted the height the seat would go to. I have changed that to get as near max height as it will go and then put it back till it starts to auto lower; that extra inch or so height helps me a lot. Role on the Y that extra height will be great for entry and exit and I prefer a high driving position anyway.
Great review. I’ve had a Model 3 since 2018 and as much as I like the car, the lack of blind spot monitoring on the side mirrors is ridiculous for such a technically advanced car. My Hyundai Elantra, which is much cheaper, has better blind spot monitoring. The Tesla’s screen will glow red on the left or righ lane as a substitute, but it only works when you initiate the turn signal and are ready to make your lange change. It does not give you advanced warning of a car on your side as side-view mirror detection would solve.
Fantastic review. Almost everything was covered quite well. You reviewed the back seats in the full upright and full reclined positions but isn't there a mid reclined position too?
I got mine in December 1st 2021 with the cast rear end fit & finish 99.999% perfect. Blue, 20" wheels had my first nail in the tire yesterday resulting in a slow leak. Took the tire off myself and had a patch repair (don't ever use a plug) First 2 places I took the car wouldn't touch it (batteries underneath) so I just jacked up the car at the locations underneath that can be jacked up & fixed the tire for a fraction of the cost of other alternatives. That includes the dealer. Loving the driving experience, specially in Standard mode.
I have a Y. The rear window doesn't bother me at all. The view out the back is not bad in my opinion.
It honestly depends on your height tbh😀
Ordered my model Y on my birthday. End of july! Im so hyped for its delivery. I went with the long range model too. Great review
This was beyond thorough Andy, well done bro!👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks Dalisu!
Thank you for your extremely informative reviews (and entertaining). We made the jump to electric today, ordering our first Tesla Model Y!! See you around the Ville!
A very well made video with all possible information on Model Y at one place. Thanks !
Glad you liked it!
Just ordered mine! I can’t be more excited, I felt overwhelmed at my test drive and I just wanted to stare at it lol
Best Comprehensive Model Y review Andy! I’ve had my Y since March and love it. I’ve gotten used to the view from the rear window so I don’t mind it.
Yep many Y owners say they have gotten used to the narrow rear view mirror. Thanks for sharing!
Great review. I bought my Tesla Model Y a couple weeks ago without ever seeing any of these videos. You do such a fabulous job of explaining ALL the reasons to buy one, I fell in love with mine (TessY) all over again! I'm forwarding this video to many of my friends who are asking why(Y) a Tesla?
The best Tesla review so far ! Excellent job !
Thanks Florian!
Love my Model Y. Have never been happier with a vehicle.
13:15 camera shutter speed matches with the car tire rim rotation..
Trippy!
The flying Tesla
Side mirror cameras active now when you push camera button or hit reverse an over the air update name me one car manufacturing company that does this? Just Love my new Y performance. Great review.
Features and snags are well explained in this video, I think this is the best review of the Y I have seen to date. Well done.
Thanks Pete!
Andy you’re the best detail oriented Tesla expert on the crowded internet sky. I’m model S 2014 owner. Your review makes me wanting Y
Wow, this is like the most complete in-depth review of Model Y I've seen, good job Andy!
Thanks! 🙏🏼
You seem to be the best videographer, narrator, scriptwriter, plus your amazing Tesla knowledge and experience! Outstanding video! I really want one of these cars. BUT... I want to know about the performance of this car IN THE SNOW compared to SUVs like Toyota Land Cruiser and Jeep which are clearly raised higher off the ground and might accommodate snowy conditions better than the Y. I will be living soon in North Idaho! Their winters are long. While I would LOVE to own a Y with everything Tesla provides, I may end up with an old fashioned piston-pusher just for its handling in the snow. So PLEASE make a video of your experience in snowy environments. That would be a great supplement! Thanks for making this one!
From a fellow 6'4" dude, thank you very much for all the insights related to tailgate height, seating position, rear headroom, etc. I never get a relevant take on these features from the more vertically-challenged car reviewers. :p
Thanks for watching!
Best review on the net for Tesla Model Y . Thank you for getting me up to speed with all the car features. It’s like listening to Audibles “Tesla Model Y Edition”. New MYLR owner 033021 ! Thank you thank you! Awesome Job! Keep up the good work . TH-cam 🌟
It is certainly one of the best at having flaws. Hopefully a year from now many of the issues will be sorted (paint overspray, panel alignment and gaps, headliner assembly, rear seat flaws, headlight condensation, etc.).
I've also noticed that the door needs to be firmly swung closed. My wife is a door slammer anyways (she always slams doors shut and now likes to slam Vett's and Camaro's) If it has a little red line under "duel motors" it's fun!
This is the longest ad I've ever watched 🤣
Well shit, Tesla won't advertise for themselves!!
mdc4runner True!
Tesla need to pay this man!
Hey thanks for watching my 30 minute ad
Do you watch iPhone release? 😂 well I do.
i reckon this is the best model Y review at the current moment
Thanks!
Andy Slye thanks for your thank🤣🤣🤣, wanna know can those inside misaligned plastic plates be changed for free in the upcoming days?
Excellent review! I am not an owner YET but now I am A LOT closer. 👍🏼
You have definitely helped me and my family decide on the model Y. This was a fantastic and through review, best I’ve ever seen. I will forward this to friends who have questions about their potential purchase. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Keith! Enjoy the new Tesla!
your reviews are awesome bro!! Love from Nepal
Thanks Sujan!
I agree. Your reviews are awesome and very helpful. Currently not in Nepal but love from a Nepali :)
Wow what an automobile, being a 77 year old guy this sounds like buck rogers or the jetson’s cartoon stuff. Thanks for a great informative video.
M-O-D-E-L-Y? Because I gotta! xD
Jim Carrey reference
I just ordered a model y. Thanks to your review.
Excellent review. Great video quality, superb coverage of all aspects of the vehicle, ownership and driving characteristics.
I wont go electric until charging stations are everywhere! And until i have my own house with a garage! I am a college student so we are talking about 10 years! But God bless Tesla for their efforts on helping the environment. I love the enthusiasm of these early adopters. You’re Heroes in my Book 🤞
The most comprehensive review I've seen, well done.
Side note, I just wish they'd gone a little bigger, a "Y XL" or something like that with 3 full size 2nd row seats. Would be the ultimate robo taxi.
Just by adding usb-c it's already the most innovative car out there 👍👍👍 Then, you add other 100 features that most of the other cars (event for this price) don't have
That side-view idea's a good one
Nice. You mentioned a lot of comparisons to Model 3, but many shoppers are trying to decide between Y and X. It would be nice to see more comparisons there, such as storage room, ground clearance and towing capacity. It clearly has less gimmicks than X like the falcon doors and auto closing driver door on the X. Some are really useful like the adjustable ground clearance of the X. Thanks for all the great info. It will still help me decide which is right for me.
Ha, your intro alone earned a thumbs up from me!
Proper adjustment of the sideview mirrors will eliminate the blind spots. Here are the directions: For drivers side put the left side of your head to the window, adjust the dirvers side mirror so you can just barely see the left side of the car in the mirror (at just the right most edge of the mirror). For the passenger side, lean over the center console, adjust the passenger side mirror so you can just barely see the right side of the car in the mirror (at just the left most edge of the mirror). As cars are disappearing from the rear view mirror they appear in the side view mirror, as they are disappearing from the side view mirror they will be visible from the window.
I won't lie, that intro made me smile.
I need to have some fun in my last few years, so since I can't travel abroad, I'll settle for the U.S., traveling in a white AWD Model Y to be purchased next June. But I may end up selling it for a Cybertruck or if I don't like the feel of driving the Cybertruck, I'll sell the AWD white Model Y and get a red one with white seats and FSD.

I am very new to the EV world. I don't even own one yet. Your videos are excellent and easily understandable to a "noobie" such as myself. Thank you.
Thanks for the great review! I've got one on order for European delivery. Hopefully any issues on build quality will be ironed out by the Germans in the new factory. Regardless, have my check list ready like your buddy in the last video. Keep the good content coming 👍🏽
Thanks and good luck!
Watched the whole video. Excellent review. Really enjoyed the cinematography and editing. I ordered a Model Y 3 weeks ago and just got my VIN. Super excited haha
Thanks Bryson and congrats!
Elon confirmed they will add the side view cameras being full screen when wanted
👏🏼
Link?

There are some reason I will buy the model 3 over the y :
- The rear visibility is very bad on the model y
- the 3 feels sportier to drive this more fun
Yeah no, the rear visibility on the Model 3 is just as bad as the Y. If you're in reverse you wanna watch through your rear-camera-screen like 99% of the time.
@@TheSoroLP I test driven the model Y and the rear visibility is bad but not as bad as people try to make it seem. The side mirrors are big enough.
The rear visibility on the model 3 is way better.
Now for backing up... Even if the car has the world best visibility, if you have a camera as good as the tesla ones, just use it, the on screen track will tell you exactly where you are heading. I reverse parked the model Y without any peoblem, even better than with my car since I used the camera while with my car I have to turn and look back
One thing that stay on my mind... I test driven the long range model Y and the acceleration... The best way to describe this is like being on a roller coaster, the non stop acceleration and the instant torque give you the exact same feeling. My 6 year old son was all joy everytime I floored the accelerator
Hey Andy, I'll be taking delivery of my Model Y in just over a week- the same midnight silver metallic you review in the video, though not the performance. I'd been humming and hawing on getting a Tesla since 2016, when I first made my choice to go fully electric. I went back and forth a number of times, and as recently as early March was convinced I'd be getting a Rav4 Prime as it seemed a much-more economical choice. When the pricing was finally announced (within CAD$10 of a Model Y!!!), I knew I'd regret not getting the Tesla for many of the reasons you mentioned. Every BEV contender I'd been tracking since 2016- from Volkswagen to Byton to Ford- ended up as wishful thinking vaporware, who all overpromised and underdelivered. Tesla seems to be doing the opposite. Key to their success seems is keeping all of their software in-house, which gives them the flexibility to deliver such an outstanding product and not sacrificing quality to put a few extra dollars in their pockets. Everyone else will be playing catch-up for some time to come.
My Christmas gift this year..Thank you Andy
Thumbs up for the bear demonstration LOL, hilarious!

If we embrace using modern tech everywhere, money will no longer matter. But that's with all the tech everywhere and people being upgraded.
That Jim Carrey impression 😅 Why aren't you in Hollywood yet Andy?!?
😂
I’ve watched so many reviews on the model Y and this was definitely the best one yet
Amazing review, excellent deliver of the minor issues you have and what needs to change on the car or cars. You are a huge asset to Tesla for sure. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for watching!
It's all warm and fuzzy... Until the day you shred a tyre.
Andy, just ordered a red MYLR for my wife and should be delivered in two days (Dallas). Absolutely love Tesla's embedded tech and being gas free. Have already preordered the Cyber Truck, just have to be patient on delivery. Thank you for all your relevant information across all of the Tesla line.
Prices have been updated! long range is now 49,990 and performance is now 59,990
Yep! For those interested, here’s my Model Y referral link: geni.us/ModelY
Andy, you do such a good job of demonstrating Tesla cars. I am a Model 3 owner who could never be talked out of that fabulous car. However I can tell my spouse might be shopping "Y" way for our next purchase. Note to self: start saving now.
Thanks Elizabeth! Best of luck 👍
You were, definitely, born to do this. Incredibly good explained, providing everything a man needs to know about the car. Congratulations and keep going this way 😉👍
My Y is being delivered in about 2 weeks. blown away by the demo. Can't wait to unload my MB that I'm told needs $4k of environmental sensors before it could be inspected. One final kick on the way out. No more ICE's for me.
They really should've gone MKBHD Matt black everything
After a long wait, got my model Y last week. fantastic car~~~ thanks for the great review!
MY next car will be a MY, in about two years or so. The only other consideration at this point would be a Cybertruck, but I haven't driven one of those yet. I doubt I will ever buy a gas car again honestly.
I got a model 3 in 2018, and my next car will definitely be an electric Tesla. It’s been great
@@keco185 So you now have the only gas version of Model 3 ?
Just got mine: love the white interior, plus all the others things we love; dislike unadjustable headrests, really dislike phantom braking!
Wow! This is the best & most thorough review I’ve seen on the Tesla Model Y in my opinion. Great job Andy! Keep crushing it bro. 💪
Thanks Anuarbek!
I got my Model y delivered two days ago. So far so good. There is a lot to learn. Your video was very helpful. I live in Maine and Tesla charged me $750 dollars for delivery. This is how much it would have cost me to fly to New Jersey and pick up the car at their Paramus location. Tesla needs to expand their network.
Well let me say this ... i make TH-cam videos and i 🥫 appreciate quality content when i hear it, and it has nothing to do with your equipment. This video was very informative an detailed to the core great job buddy great job
Thanks!
12:50 “... an absolute joy to drive”
Understatement. It’s like if you could drive your cat (only they were much more cooperative).
