2022 Tesla Model Y (inc. 0-100) review: There's one major flaw to this SUV...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ค. 2024
- I've ordered a Tesla Model Y! And we've finally had the chance to drive one on Australian roads. Australia gets two variants of the Tesla Model Y - the entry level (tested here) and the Model Y Performance (which we are yet to test). Is it any good? Paul Maric finds out!

#tesla #modely #review - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Hey everybody! Three updates! As mentioned in the video - I have some more detail. Charging is capped at 170kW DC for the base model Model Y. Power and torque is same as the entry-level Model 3 SR+, so 220kW of power and 420Nm of torque. The price of the car also went up after we filmed, it’s now $72,300 before on-road costs. Thanks for your patience!
240kw??? Pretty sure these are the 3D7 motors putting out 194kw.
Also, the Rover approva with dep of transport is only for up to 220kw..
I thought it was 194kw? Whats your source for the 240kw?
Plz lexus RX review as soon as possible
Great review mate! From some German reviews I’ve seen that the performance rides better even tho it’s sitting on 21s and lowered?
@@Rollaroundtap I also came to the same conclusion but then I considered that perhaps German roads are better than Australian roads. Probably can get away with stiffer suspension over there… Just a guess of course.
Every time I’m looking for a car review I scroll passed all of them until I find yours. Great videos 👌🏼
agree. sounds like the berlin model has slightly softer suspension, and possibly the austin model as well. hopefully it's something they keep working on because I agree, it should absolutely have a softer suspension. no need for performance level stiffness in the standard/long range models.
This is a very thorough and well thought out video review. Thanks for the all the detail you have put it into.
My 2020 M3 (US) has voice recognition navigation. No need to type in destinations. Also, previous destinations are retained in memory for call up. Car location in the app is a bit sketchy. Formerly, I could monitor my wife while she drove home, with the car centered on the screen as the map scrolled. Something changed with an update and now the app bullseyes the car, but then the map is static and the car drives off the screen and must be “chased” to see it’s progress. Another shortcoming (common to all 3 & Y at least) is no backup, cross traffic warning. While the rear camera view is fairly broad, a head check is necessary. To be clear however, it does alert as objects are approached. And don’t get me started on tire noise and firm ride. On the plus side, my Dual Motor ran 12.2 @ 118mph through the 1/4 mile!
I clicked like for the solid video, and clicked subscribe because of the solid taste in music. Keep it up mate 🙂👏🏻
Paul - are you going to add a fer accessories to yours. I think the electric frunk kit (aftermarket) would make the MY. I think its worth doing. Also I see there are a number of suspension (aftermarket) kits available but all seem like a fairly major install. I think as time goes on and these get more popular in AU/NZ we will see easier/better strut kits become available. Love your reviews and cant wait for a few more MY reviews on your new one.
Great review thanks, Paul.
Noting that the Model Y and the latest version of the Model 3 do not have radars, how do these vehicles perform in foggy conditions using cameras only?
Love the music choices! So good
Indeed one of the best channels on youtube, I always enjoy watching Paul do his reviews. Brilliant!
Have ordered the same color combo on day released. Like you test drove a model 3 and ordered a Y unseen. Thank you for a great review:)
Hi Paul Does the M.Y come with a parcel shelf ? Many Thanks Great Vid!
Hi Paul can you do a review on the BYD atto3 really keen on your view and experience on it
Drove the car with the 19's yesterday and can report its a much nicer drive. It was really pleasant. I hate my Model 3 Performance on Sydney roads and think I might let it go for a Y. I'm waiting for the LR to upgrade that one but have ordered a SR with 19's to get by till then. Congrats on the little girl; we had one 4 months ago which is why we ordered the Y.
Great News! I think the best upgrade options yoke steering wheel+titanum lugnuts. Let me know if you're interested in adding any of these accessories to your own amazing Tesla!
The rear door locks ( and front locks) are power from the 12 volt battery not the 400 volt drive battery so it's unlikely to be and an unlocking problem even if the main drive battery is exhausted. Most of the other issues mentioned have been fixed by over the air updates some time ago.
Interesting how the SR single motor gets the matrix headlights over there. But in the states we still get the older LEDs on the LR
Mr Maric. Any chance of a Polestar 2 review? A Model 3 and Polestar 2 comparison even? Also I noticed no S3 launch review. I need your help deciding if I have one last petrol car or make the move to an EV.
I love it! What colour did you order Paul?
Hey Hey Paul, just out of curiousity, is that the GMH Lang Lang Proving ground____it looks familiar? In 2006, l rode the 'ikara blue' camera speed bike around the oval test track in lane 2 to around 80kph.
After seeing the Model Y for the first time at Tesla Brighton last week, I actually prefer the look of the Model Y to the Model 3 ... which I was not expecting.

Great video. Thank you
Great information packed review
I have only ever test driven the 19" wheel version and it was very good.
change front tyres to 275/35/21 and rears to 295/35/21 will help. Ordered model Y performance as well
I ordered the Model Y with 20" induction wheels and noticed the majority of TH-cam reviewers from AU and the UK mentioning the ride quality as a significant issue. Just like in this review.
This week, I went for a test drive with the 19" standard and felt the ride quality was pretty good. I have a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to compare and contrast, and it's not too far off, granted I only spend 20 minutes in the car!
I found that I actually really like 19" standard wheels in person on a white car and am quite pleased with the ride quality. I'm proceeding with the purchase.
Think the problem with all these road tests is they watch the other reviews and then just say the same, like the ride quality, drove a couple of Y’s before I ordered mine, didn’t think the ride was harsh, ordered a long range white with white interior with factory tow bar, expected delivery is Oct-December

EVERY review I've seen complains about the ride. Major reason why I'm holding off my purchase.
@@petefraser3013 just picked up my Model Y this Morning, there have been reports that the suspension has been changed, I would absolutely say my new one is a lot better than the one I test drove in March, so I’m very happy with the ride, no pot hole crash bangs as of yet
@@petefraser3013 honestly take one for a test drive. I did last week & thought it was not firm at all & placed an order straight away.
Thanks for a great review, Paul - you continue to set the standard for thoroughness, honesty and accuracy, and all with healthy dollops of good humour and personality. Ive been hanging-out for a Y for a while, but had to buy something ICE (Outback). Poor ride would be a deal-breaker for me. I'm pretty sure that when Sandy Munro did his thorough tear-down of the Y he mentioned that the chassis seemed to have fittings for an adaptive suspension, which would come close to making the car an exceptional machine. Like you, I think a HUD ought to be mandatory, and the stop-watching-the road to check your speed and other things is a serious flaw. I also think the car is not attractive, but I've seen uglier (like the first BMW X6, for example), but the interior is so very practical. When I'm ready to replace my Outback, this is one of the first vehicles I'll be looking at.
I own a Shanghai Model Y Long Range, the ride is very crashy. I have ordered a Berlin-built Model Y Performance because surprisingly, even with 21” wheels it’s more comfortable than the Long Range.
@@Ianmundo yes, i agree herei southern california i recently drove a MYLR and. MYP. The ride in the MYP was definitely smoother. Although i didn’t have any complaints with the MYLR ride either. Give me a stiffer suspension over a softer ride anyday. Personal preference i guess.
This ridiculous story that you have to look away from the road to see the speedo is getting so old…. Any time you move your eyes you are effectively blind.
Your mind just makes up the image in between.
Looking down or slightly left and down is exactly the same.
If you can’t learn to glance in a different place you can buy a phone mount that replaces the top cover of the steering column, and an app will function as second display.

thank you for sharing your opinion with us. firm ride would put me off, hopefully the next update will be in suspensions made for EV's not designed from the knowledge gained of an ICE where if you have a full tank of fuel changes dynamics to when the tank is empty also the cargo space loaded or not. batteries are heavy and they sit low. i like soft luxury feel in a car personally . . .i don't race in Australia where the speed limit is tightly regulated.
Always good review Paul your detailed review is really good and helpful it would be great to see you do a detailed review on the Tesla Model S Plaid the car is insanely fast
F I N A L L Y 🙌🏻🚙 OMG 🙏 What a long wait !! Love you guys 💙 Best Aussie Car Review 👌
Mountain Pass Performance in Canada does suspension upgrades for Tesla Model S/3/Y and even a lift kit for the 3/Y. Unplugged Performance in the US have upgrades available as well.

Also launched in NZ. Price is strange... you only get the rebate if its not red and don't spec the white seats :/
(Can only get white seats with white exterior, rebate only applies if its under 80k NZD)
I test drove one yesterday with 19 inch wheels .. ride wasn’t too bad . I ordered mine with 20 inch dunno whether I should change back to 19
Great review
I ordered a Tesla Y but canceled it after a test drive in summer as we found it too hot with a glass roof with no cover. It definitely needs a heads up display as you continuously are taking your eyes off the road because everything is on the centre screen.
“Almost like the road isn’t wet !”
Yep … I’m astonished with the grip on my MY (Hankook tyres) 👍

Hey paul, did yiu find the model y ride to be harsher than your model 3?
Does the car not come with a privacy cargo cover for the back? German performance models seem to have it already
Can you buy aftermarket 17 or 18 inch wheels? I’m not sure if it clears the brake calipers tho🤷🏻♂️
Nice music at the bottom there! Old school Nu Metal!
I was looking around on the net and found you can get aftermarket head up displays for the model 3&Y
Hi Paul.
Did you go the white or grey interior?
Marvellous review mate. Thank you so much. I too am worried about the ride firmness. Love the car otherwise.
Unplugged Performance and Mountain Pass Performance...both US based (sorry) but they sell a suspension kit for Model 3/Y though shipping might be a deal breaker :( I ordered a Model Y Perf and plan on putting one of these in...prob selling the 21s and getting 20s from TSportsline...own a Model S with the 21s and even with the air suspension, still a stiff ride to say the least!
There are adaptive suspension kits for the model, I want a longer range, but with LiFeP Batteries
The fact that you have to keep not looking ahead and look at the infotainment system is a show stopper for me really
does the model y rwd have double pane glass at the back or only in the front?
My Model Y Long Range has 19" wheels, and the ride is SO much more comfortable than the one I took for a test drive with 20" wheels. The Dealer recommended to get it with 19" wheels for both comfort and range.
What's the difference in range?
A very informative, (even for a new owner) and enjoyable review - thank you. The dash cam requires you to hoot when an incident occurs, a period before and after the event is recorded. Also, a solid state storage device to replace the existing stick located in the glove box. So right about the app Paul; brilliant.
As for it's looks: for me, the MY is much better looking than the M3.(of course the S is the real beauty of range.) I recently received my Red/White LR with Gemini wheels which I run naked. I never tire of looking at the car from different angles. I agree that the car is not as beautiful as the sum of those lovely different angles; I see echoes of 60's and 80's Italian styling. Perhaps I have an over fertile imagination. What really matters is that I love the car to bits whether in or out and, of course, she is wonderful to drive....sometimes I have to pinch myself to prove I'm not dreaming.
you can change that dashcam hoot in the settings-
Thank you for your review! Also wondering, would you have any clue as to when would the long range model come out? Thank you!
Good News! I think the best upgrade options yoke steering wheel+titanum lugnuts. Let me know if you're interested in adding any of these accessories to your own amazing Tesla!
Great review, very informative. I cannot get past the plain dashboard and lack of anything aside from the screen... I could not spend my $ on this. There is so much choice now.
+1, it's just too plain and boring (not to mention much less functional)
Forgot to add 'nice review'. Another issue i found really annoying is the need to take your eyes off the road to look left for speedo and other things. And yes, trying to change settings on the screen while driving is very dangerous - i can't recall the nbr of near misses i had during my 3 day drive. A traditional screen in front of the steering wheel would be essential for me. I'd have to look at the after market options. And while I'm at it, the voice cmd system sucks - not only is it not intuitive, you have to put on a slight American drawl for the computer to recognise your voice. It's these small issues that really detract from what is essentially a great car (but too expensive for what it is).
Thanks for the review.
As with all Teslas I can't consider them as they don't have CarPlay,
How much would it cost for a full charge? And what are the service running costs?
Great review as always Paul. Which version/spec/colour did you get?
Good News! I think the best upgrade options yoke steering wheel+titanum lugnuts. Let me know if you're interested in adding any of these accessories to your own amazing Tesla!
With the Google maps and other apps what if we are driving where there is no internet which is mostly in Australia when you start driving long drives.
I have a model 3. I agree on the harsh ride, and I like firm suspension. In addition the steering lock is poor and the rear visibility is non existent. Otherwise it's a great car. Not just good, great.
Great News! I think the best upgrade options yoke steering wheel+titanum lugnuts. Let me know if you're interested in adding any of these accessories to your own amazing Tesla!
Seems the back seat is much shorter , so make it looks like plenty of space but actually not?
I like your music style with rammstein and Korn!
Me too
Paul can we get new Polstar EV review please.
cheers for mentioning the missing manual door releases in the back
It does have a mechanical release, yes it is below the pocket liner of rear seats.
Size wise, would it be the same size of a Q5 or GLC?
I would be interested in seeing the result of the battery charging options for the standard range model y in Australia and if there are any tips if you go camping etc.

@@kristelarabit3511 Why the hell would you wanna do that. 🤔 There's no digital dash for the steering wheel to impede. Aside from that, they're hideous and the steering ratio isn't calibrated properly for a yoke.
Will the Dash board update in current model if apple play makes a deal with tesla in future ?
Is the model Y long range exist? Are they coming to Aus?
I've got the Y with 19's on order also (arriving in August) so will wait and see. I also have a set of flow formed 20" wheels to go on so will see how it goes with a lighter wheel.

Wish the 7 seater version is available for Australia, too bad.
where you get from $68900 ? order two weeks ago for $77,881 white with standard options .
Great review thank you but firm ride is a concern.
Hey Paul, surprised you didn't mention that you can now get Enhanced Autopilot as an added option. In Australia, it's currently $5,100 which gives you Summon, Auto Lane Change and Auto Park.
You obviously struggle at driving yourself..
@@hobo1704 just a general statement. But thinks ya hobo.
amazing video
best Australian review of this car, of any Tesla actually
Nice video
There is an excellent rubber infill piece for the cup/bottle holders available. In the USA there is a vibrant aftermarket accessory market. Less so in the UK but not too bad. Based on my experience of living in lovely Australia, you will have access to the American market. And of course, Tesla make a number of great OEM accessories.
Thumbs up for your music tastes alone Paul!
🤘
Hey Paul
I expected Mile Kitic but not Korn
Love the fact that Paul is a metal head 🤟 and listens to decent music.
+1 for Korn & Rammstein
Rock on buddy 🤟🤟

Thanks Paul, would be really keen to know from your Model 3 whether the regenerative breaking translates to a noticeable decrease in break wear?
Regen braking essentially means you don’t need to use the traditional brake pedal so yes it would be significantly noticeable

Drove one today..wow
No mention of the rear seat tilting?
Hi Paul, great expression, greetings from Antalya, Turkey...
I'd suggest checking the tyre pressure - one thing that caught out a lot of people in the uk was the initial model y's (including the press vehicles) came over from china with the tyre pressure at 50psi rather than the recommended 42
I run mine at 39PSI, still stiff as hell
I can confirm this, mine came with over 3.7bars instead of the recommended 2.8bars. Big difference after letting some air out of the tyres, not sure why they overinflate it by this much though
Great News! I think the best upgrade options yoke steering wheel+titanum lugnuts. Let me know if you're interested in adding any of these accessories to your own amazing Tesla!
@@Stern0n I think that they over-inflate the tyres for shipping. The cars are ratchet-strapped to eye hooks on the deck of the ship, hence the over-inflation of the tyres…..however, for me, it is unforgivable that the TESLA PDI isn’t correcting this prior to handling over your car for delivery, but hey what can you expect for £60k….?
@@ianmcfadyen2609 Yes, you are fully right. Probably that is the reason and should be adjusted before handing the car over. I wonder if the journalists who review the car check this before testing (note that the car only shows you a warning when the tyres have less-than-required air in them but not if you over-inflate) and I see many reviews giving a bad press to the MY for stiff ride. I switched from a Lexus RX450 with AVS suspension, and frankly don't feel much difference - even as the Lexus is supposed to be one of the more comfortable SUVs out there.
I like that you compare the ride / stiffness to a BMW M product ! ✅
Well said sir .

Too bad it is slow AF.. So you have firm ride for nothing 😂
I've ordered my Model Y last week. This will be my first ever EV never even had hybrid. Went to the Tesla dealership in Richmond and drove the 19" Standard model and was blown away. Felt very similar to my mums car which is an BMW X4.
What's the wait time like in Melbourne for Model Y mate?
Great review Paul, can’t agree with the comments about Speedo location. I’ve ordered one for the same reasons you did, model Y is just a better family car… when you get yours can you suggest a suspension upgrade for a remedy to the harsh ride?

Best summary out there. Thankyou. Ive ordered one but have 2 questions someone may be able to answer
Tesla have advised they are no longer supplying the mobile charging so if I ordered my Y model before this announcement can I assume the charger comes with the car and secondly can the driver use their own mobile phone hotspot for car wifi instead of paying Tesla a monthly subscription? 😉
Good News! I think the best upgrade options yoke steering wheel+titanum lugnuts. Let me know if you're interested in adding any of these accessories to your own amazing Tesla!
You are correct sir !
Model Y owners don’t use the cards !! We just use our phone !
How can you see the speed you’re going without dashboard ?
Paul my man, Model Y and Raptor, earning good mooooola !~~ Would love the Y performance, Paul, bloke in the UK who owns and sells EVs, said ride between wheels is similar, think you may need to spend for better suspension !
Love your reviews Paul. Not a fan of anyTesla, but I have a couple of questions. I might be wrong but I believe they don't have any dealers, your by the cars online, is that correct? If so, what happens with servicing the car? And who do you contact for any warranty problems?
Yep. That’s correct - they have service centres where you can take the car. And they also have mobile service people for things that can be fixed without any major service centre equipment.
@@CarExpertAus thanks Paul 👍
I put my order in as well, due February. I also ordered it with the 19 inch wheel and almost vanilla (no options) - I'm hoping, like you, it won't be so hard a ride.I guess I can always add the options later on if I want to. We'll see!!
Good News! I think the best upgrade options yoke steering wheel+titanum lugnuts. Let me know if you're interested in adding any of these accessories to your own amazing Tesla!
Have driven the MY AWD 19" and it rides well. You will be pleased.
@@kristelarabit3511 can you tell me more about that
I received the 2023 Model Y and it comes with a comfort suspension at it is drastically better than the previous model
I am always curious with one pedal driving in electric car. will the break light turn on when the car is slowing down because you release the accelerator? thank you for your answer guys.
Yes it will :-)
Such a deal breaker to me that they removed the radar systems. They work way better in bad weather, particularly for emergency braking or when you can't see the car in front under a very heavy fog. Cameras don't see through that, radar can.
Wait till aus and nz get the performance variant - coming soon i guess. I haven’t seen any performance reviews in aus or nz yet. If u like this entry car, you’ll love the MYP
Tesla could have definitely used a heads up display along with use some ingenuity to evolve the traditional heads up display
Ive ordered mine and since I’m a bmw M lover i guess im overjoyed to hear the ride is firm. But I appreciate not everyone is like me so its strange that Tesla didn’t add a dampening feature

Thanks Paul, really excited for you and for the great honest review. I was contemplating on the model Y and greatest concern is w the ride comfort. Am driving the 5 series G30 where comfort is immaculate. Pls do a video again when you take delivery, fingers crossed the 19 inchers would be noticeably more forgiving.
wheels help!

The genesis evg70 vs the Tesla model y performance would be a good comparison
