Got my 2022 performance Y last month! Absolutely one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m in the process of getting solar and once it’s in the savings will get even better. Having the 60 amp circuit for the level 2 charger will keep me from having to charge at work or even the superchargers. Appreciate your review of the car. You pointed out a lot of the key features that make this car great. The perf Y also has a lower suspension and I believe a better overall ride on the 21’s, just have to see how long the tires last! Hahaha. Great video, thanks for sharing!
I changed the pirelli tires on my MYP to Michelin pilot all seasons. 275/35/21 in the front and 295/35/21 in the back which squared off the car, provided a softer ride, as well as providing better rim protection.
@@Theoneandonlyearthhuman My Michelin Pilot all season also do a pretty good job in the snow and icy conditions. I was up in big bear and the cabin had a slightly steep incline and it handled it very well
Terrific video! I’ve had my 2021 Model 3 SR+ for a year now, with nearly 14,000 miles, and can confirm much of what you said. Like you, I have found the car, acquiring and driving it, to be unique and far and above any other vehicle I’ve had in my 50 years of driving. I’m glad to see someone like yourself, a very typical American with the F150, discover the advantages of EV ownership, and finding a very positive way to share your experience. It is important to counter those who spread misinformation about EVs, and suffer from FUD, and the naysayers, virtually none of them EV owners themselves. Yes, if you can, get your home set up with proper charging (Level 3), talk with your utility to see if they offer EV discounts, check on any federal/state/local tax rebates and other incentives for EV owners. They can be substantial. We love our EVs! My Model 3 and my wife’s VW ID.4 have dramatically improved our lives and those of our two teenage boys. Look forward to more content, B!
Definitely. We have been eyeing an EV for while and after seeing a lot of other potentials, I see a pretty solid tech advantage for tesla. More to come
Only thing I think you might’ve mentioned that an addition to the convenience of charging at home is not having to ever stop at a gas station. I get that long trips are a little less convenient because of the time it takes to charge on the road, but for most people it’s an overall positive.
I love that. I love that it doesn't need gas.. it doesn't smell. Going to drive in movies was interesting as we got all that last night from other cars.
"a little less convenient" depends on circumstances and should be qualified subject to an audit of actual use. For instance. How fast you drive (in an ICE vehicle) determines not only your vehicle range, but also your "Passenger range". If you tend to stop every 3 hours when on your own, but every 2.5 hours when you carry passengers, at an average 70 mph that's (obviously) 210 reduced to 175 miles. (We're not talking the "hyperdistance drivers" here) Once you establish a personal average, then account for your average stop duration, I would think that actual inconvenience reduces, even disappears. For most, the metric of "miles per bladder" combined with average stop time should demonstrate the suitability of a vehicle. Let's say 70mph (including "on/ off" and traffic. 3 hours "MPB" (bladder!) 210 miles used from a 250 mile range leaves 8% remaining. Then consider the likely second leg length. How many trips do you take over say 350 miles? Would you travel 3 hours, then 2 hours between subsequent breaks? Would you start after breakfast, stop at 12 (3 hours) for lunch, or "splash and dash", travelling an extra 2+ hours before stopping to eat? Drain to 8% Walk to facilities, use, return.... 20 mins? (With hand wash/ email check) buy coffee) If you gain 60% (70% total) in that 20 minutes, you have 150 miles range before you drain to that same 8% That's your 2 hours, taking you to the "late lunch" 40 minute stop at about 14:30, during which you can charge to over 90%. It's actually a far more civilised way to travel!
Have watched your A/V channel and was surprised when this review popped up. We also have a MYP in Midnight Silver. Love it. We are a 5 car household but the MYP has become my favorite daily driver. Surprisingly terrific. The spring rates are a little too aggressive, making the ride firmer than necessary, and the steering ratio is a notch too fast making it unnecessarily twitchy, but overall we love everything else about it, especially the autopilot, the great seats, the spaciousness, the sound system, and the convenience of never taking it to the gas station.
Just ordered myself the Model Y Performance last night since the tax rebate runs through the end of March. I actually never have driven one but my wife has and she’s obsessed. Thank you this really comforts me in my purchase.
Love your Installer videos.. they really helped me step up my tv mounting and wire management game! This channel looks like another winner. I have had a Tesla Model X 100D since Sept 2018 and it’s been great. Always good to see a video about Tesla from a fresh perspective. Keep up the great work!
I’m on my 4th Tesla from 2016 Model S P90D , 2 Model 3PD’s(2018/2019), and a 2021 Model Y Performance. The Model Y while the slowest of them is by far my favorite for fun, value , and utility. I do wish it had air suspension …I would never sell it!
Great review, I’m seriously considering a Tesla but I’m super nervous. But I must watching your video has definitely reduced my anxiety. I’m thinking more on the side of the long range option.
Yeah that is the better move. Longer wait time to keep watching tesla videos. Once you get a Tesla, you won't look back. I'll never buy a gas powered car again.
Congratulations B! I usually watch you’re videos as a fellow installer looking for tips. I work for Best Buy as a contractor and it’s my dream gig! I was happy to see to join us in the EV world as well. I just purchased an E Transit for my work van. It gets around 130 range which is more than enough for 3-4 jobs a day. We also have a Tesla model 3, and a mustang Mach e just purchased last week. We’re all in! Enjoy!
Great review, I’ve learned a lot from you on your other channel. Thanks for the time and effort that you put in to provide these videos. Because of you I have the A80j and the C1 👍 Thanks Again
Thank you. This is very informative and it relieved some of my worries. There are a lot of videos that I watched and your video covered very important information and very detailed. Enjoy and stay safe.
Awesome video!! I am going thru the "I gotta have an EV phase" and I watch every EV video I can watch like a hungry kid is attracted to dinner lol. I also am a content creator so I know what it takes to run, or to launch and run a newish YT channel. You obviously come from some experience because you did an awesome job on your videos so far. Kudos and big thumbs up 👍👍👍 As far as Tesla is concerned you hits on all the important points. I'm still in the "dreaming" about it stage so I do the "imagine what I would do first" mental games. You hit right on target like an arrow on some points. Showing those scratched up rims made me cheer like I was watching a football game lol. The consensus of the reasonable Tesla owners with YT channels is specifically targeted towards Martian MW05 19" rims with the proper tire sizes to solve for more rubber for a softer ride and stronger wheels to keep breakage at bay . Have you had that idea run thru your mind? And the other big clue words I listen too or listen for is about ride. The comments from Yer's is a little too large of a difference for comfort. They run from "the car is too noisy" to the "new 2022 is much quieter" it it makes my gut churn in indecisiveness. It pushes me maybe unnecessarily towards the X where you get continuous "so quiet and smooth" comments. I am attracted to that - but it's double the price. I know test drives are in order, but I just wanted your take on that :) Congratulations on your new launch, of course I subscribed so I can watch even more Tesla stuff, but I can watch as your channel unfolds. As a retired professional photographer and now a YT content creator I can tell you the audio and video was and is spot on with nothing calling attention to itself and that is exactly what you want. You don't want those stupid comments of "I can't hear you" or "the music is too loud over your voice" or video that isn't up to snuff. Technically you are solid as a rock, so it's now all up to your content. I would include some "kids angles" point of view showing how they are a makeup of the family like EV Dave shows his dogs in the Tesla occasionally and then uses that as an opportunity to show off "dog mode" and so on. Of course Kyle at Out Of Spec is the big kahuna and the advantage of guys like that to smaller or beginning channels is to tap in for ideas on other video content, kind of like a "monkey see monkey do" type thing 😊 Very helpful when in the "what do I do next" mode. I go thru that myself in my genre' lol. Here's to you hitting the big numbers. You have a friendly communication style and also a friendly personality and come across with a welcoming feeling which important in videos. A lot of folks try and sound to "macho" and cool which can sometimes have an unfriendly and put-offish result. I felt right at home with your style. Big thumbs up for both your style and the content of this video 👍👍
Great review and welcome to the Tesla family. Something you left out that I would've mentioned is the regular software updates that Tesla vehicles receive. This is my favorite feature because this means your car will get new features and better performance over time. In effect, the car gets better over time.
Yeah, took them long enough to get a simple "add a stop" feature. Also my Bluetooth is quite bad in this car vs other previous cars so they have more work to do
You can “recover” those 15 miles difference by changing to 20” tires. Although requires an investment on your part. I’ve ordered the Y performance as well. Good video, straight to the point. I like it ! Congrats on your MYP!
@@btheconsumer what’s the advantage you’re taking about? I own a Tesla MYP and all I keep reading about is that Elon is opening up the US superchargers to any and all EV’s and they are going to be doing it very very soon. So our one and only advantage is gone very soon. I already use many locations that are always jam packed and you have to wait for a charge - how is that going to be for us when everyone can use them and they are taking up multiple spaces because they don’t know how to properly park their EV’s? I saw a guy using up 4 spots with a model y the other night because he had a trailer attached to it. Seriously take your trailer off while you charge - you’re using 1 charger and blocking 3 while you cook dinner out of the back of your teardrop trailer. By the way the 10% the cost vs gas is way off too. I get a discount rate on my electric and it’s still hundreds of dollars a month extra on my electric bill - so I say it’s half as much as gas realistically. My electric bill used to be $80-$120. If I actively charge every night and am driving a lot my electric bill has been as high as $325 during a month it’s typically $80. That’s a huge jump in electric cost. So it’s not as cheap to charge at home and that’s with the EV discounts. Now I just charge at our city hall that has 12 chargers that are free after 5pm up til 7am on the weekdays and free all weekend. So I always charge for free now unless I’m on the road and use superchargers.
You're not doing it right my friend. Our electric bill is $50 less since we have a Tesla and we drive 120 miles a day. The technology and battery production gives tesla an advantage. They make 1m EV cars a year.. FSD, even autopilot is solid. They're pretty far ahead.
finally someone that didnt get the ridiculous white interior lol. Looks great! Also 3.5 seconds to 4.8 seconds is a huge difference and worth every penny!
Been enjoying your content on the the Installer channel. Nice to see you join the Tesla family! I have a 2021 Red Model Y Long Range. I have to admit I love it. Your other option could have been to get the LR and add the acceleration boost later. It lowers the 0-60 time by .6 of a second.
its still not the same as the performance model - that additional .4 secs though appears to be a small number gives a big kick - plus the lowered suspension and performance brake instill more confidence cornering at high speeds. I just wish it had an air suspension!
I’m pleased you said the suspension is good. I agree, it’s a firm ride, much like a performance German car. Journalists have criticised the ride, but there is nothing wrong with it .
Really can't wait to get mine now. l order the model y long range back in March. Supposed to get it in August but they changed my delivery date to September and I added the third row and I should have my solar up soon so can't wait! Also like the RAV4 Prime but you will still need GAS 2004 Camry I'm putting in 85 every week just about 70 miles newer Camry get better gas mileage I drive daily from work and kids pickups
Ordered the Model Y Performance about three weeks ago! I am running 100% solar in my house and I am producing more power that the amount I'm using, so recharging at home with a wall charger is not gonna cost me a cent 😃 already installed the 60 amp breaker and ordered the wall charger 🤣 can't wait for delivery date (june-july 2022)
I generally watch you as the TV Installer, and appreciate you using an Apple TV as I do. I decided to give your new channel a look. Thanks for your honest assessment about the car and the problems and misunderstanding you had. I really liked your review. Thank You.
Thanks for stopping by. I had to stop using the apple tv for youtube tv. Some mismatch and flickering on ESPN and other channels. Can't get rid of it no matter the changes I make. Doesn't happen on native OS apps. But still love the ATV
Loved your content awesome job as you’ve covered all the common and some non-common issues, I myself ordered the LR model Y with 19” rims, I also plan on powered coating the rims black with black decals all the way around the vehicle. The vehicle is Grey with white interior
I get my Tesla Y in June or July super excited. I test drove one last week and the Generative breaking is definitely something I am going to have to get use to.
Ordered MYLR 10/21; originally scheduled for 5/22, then 6/22, THEN 12/22-1/23,.. now 10/22-11/22. Mildly frustrating, but we’re in the “want” not “need” category fortunately.
Yeah its great. Wish the suspension had a more relaxed setting. I heard the 3 is a little smoother and the long ranges of both are the smoothest but the tight suspension is awesome for rocking around.
Tip: When you get the Autopilot hands-on-wheel alert, you can just press (not click) the right-side stalk. Much more relaxing than wrestling the steering wheel to provide the torque the system is looking for.
Everything is straight to the point. Great video. I'm waiting for my MYP to be delivered in about 2 weeks. I'm still hesitated about charging. i'm kinda nervous about it. In my head, there's always doubt, such as, what if I forget to charge, what if the charge won't work properly, what if there's problem with battery, what if an update change the driving behaviour, etc,. it will render my trip and daily plan. On the other hand, i'm kinda happy to get an EV, so that wherever I go, whenever there's traffic jam, I won't need to worry about gas, I can drive around the city with ease. My current car is LEXUS RX 450H, great car, put gas once a month, range 900km each tank (very accurate) regardless the weather.
The front seats are high for a reason, coupled with lower back seats it expands leg room in the rear. This is largely why it feels larger than you expect. Clever design. The downside i find is the higher you sit the more rocking motion you get on bumpy roads. Small price to pay. We have the same red MYP w/ white interior, graphite dash. Best car we've ever had. Can't sell the ICE cars fast enough.
Hi, Have you the new vision feature and how is it without USS availability? We have ordered a MYP which now comes without USS, but have read mixed reviews on Vision when it comes to parking. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the video, MYP owner here. Rear Tire blew up on the freeway (long story), I didn’t know that tire selections are limited on uberturbine wheels and cost $450+ a tire! People who go for the LR have more choices with tires on the LR wheels than MYP wheels. Its Something to consider if buying the MYP over the LR. I honestly got the MYP for the shorter delivery window but overall Still love it 👍🏽 just prepare to bite the bullet when one of tires get hit or when it’s time to change tires ! Ouch!
Hi Brandon. How do you and your family feel about the seats in the Model Y? Especially I'm thinking about if you think they become to warm to sit in during summertime?
Be aware that if you can’t afford a performance MY, the LR model with acceleration boost option is a good choice. 0-60 in 4.2S and 564 HP (The only drawback is the horrid 19inch wheels with plastic trims !) quite a shock on a €70K car !!
How was it going from the f150 to the myp? I know you still have your f150 but I’m considering trading my raptor in for the myp mainly due to overall lower cost (fuel, maintenance, etc). The f150 comes in handy for me once or twice a year but it’s mainly my daily driver. No off-roading in it and I don’t need it for work. But I love the size and ride height of the truck. Would definitely love to get your thoughts!
Bryan, I have never been a huge truck fan. I had it for work and it is a great truck but the MYP has so many features and is nimble on the road. Driving up hills is night and day, truck pushes hard but the MYP just scoots up with ease. Fun experience and I no longer like driving my F150
@@btheconsumer Great new channel B! Are you intending on getting a second EV to replace the F150? The F150 lightning or another Tesla? What would hold you back from getting an EV for work? Thanks ;)
Tesla also has the cameras under the side view mirrors to see the curbs as well as warning sounds. You missed the additional trunk storage and on screen turn signal cameras. Certain 2022 models no longer have radar but camera view instead. Overall great video quality.
The yoke steering wheel for tesla is perfect. Yoke steering wheel is a unique and fun way to steer. This high quality steering wheel has an incredible feel, too. It's a must-have for long road trips! I know where can you get it at a great price 😁😁
Awesome review👏👏👏 My hubby surprised me on Easter Sunday that he purchased a Tesla for me…the same as yours…performance, color, tires, and interior color. Wonderful to see what I will get whenever it gets here. Originally, June/July. Now, July-August🥺😢 I’m just slight nervous (a lot) on how to drive one. Any suggestions? And, is the panoramic roof quite tinted? Thank you for sharing your experience. Btw, love the Yankees hat. A big fan since the late 1970s. Loved Bucky Dent!
Hey first video let's go!! When lexus comes out with a full EV. I'll be in the market for one! I'm just a lexus fan and I can't ever drive another car!!! But man that tesla is nice 👌🏽
I am looking forward to the established car companies to get more EVs on road. Tesla has a huge advantage with their giga factories and the battery production. It's hard not to get swept up in it once you see their process
@@btheconsumer I hear you on that B! I do love the tesla but unfortunately for me I am a lexus lover! The feel of a tesla is like no other I have driven in one! I was holding on to the oh sh*t bar 😆
Dude i get delivery of my red model y proformance with black seats September 5 to October 17 who do you use for auto insurance?; if i wanted to get long range then the earliest delivery would be February 2023
How many miles are you getting on your 21" rims? I am debating between MYP and MY LR. I love the look and extra features of MYP but super concern about the extra cost of tires on 21" wheels. It is super expensive and as EV cars, the tires go fast. If you had to go back in time, Would you choose the MY LR? Thanks
Tesla solar panels for your house 🏡 to charge your car 🚗 and house 🏡, what would be the price and would the electric ⚡️ company owe you money 💰 every month for putting more energy into the grid ? EV car 🚗 buyers might want to know this information prior to purchase?
You mentioned the F150, i currently own a f150 and im scared to switch, would you say it was worth it. Or do you miss the spaciousness and inside room you had on the f150
We get the 120-135 each night. It can go to 300 but I charge to 90% or 270 as they recommend. They say its better to charge every other night and take it down to 60 miles or so and back up to 270. A lot of people making their cases anyways.
@@btheconsumer If you reversed time, would you have opted for the long range? Totally see that the added acceleration may be fun, but besides that, would you still go performance? For me, it looks more slick with the red calipers but living here in Colorado where I'll be having some snowy days, wonder if the performance will be worse?
My family and I ordered a Tesla MYP (our first EV) and hopeful for delivery in a few weeks. The one topic I find most confusing is charging options when traveling. Of course I understand superchargers but all the other ones are quite confusing and which charging adapters to get. TY
Sounds like you haven’t had a chance to explore the voice commands. Check out some TH-cam videos on that and you’ll really enjoy the vehicle. Also the stats app will enable you to use Siri to issue voice commands. It’s a must have companion app for Teslas
"View Live Camera" option under Sentry Mode causes the lights to flash. That was per the description of that feature. Haven't seen any changes to that to suggest otherwise. Did you see a change?
When did you order your MYP? Just curious, I ordered mine mid Feb with a supposed March date. As of three days ago it was pushed back by Tesla for the third time, now saying mid May to mid June.
Yeah we ordered November to Feb and in late January they moved us. Our car was off the assembly line or "born" just 3 days before we took delivery. So I'd believe their delay is real. Tons of orders right now.
Question. I know u can open the rear hatch from the Tesla app. But can you actually close the hatch with the app as well? I'm in a wheelchair and I'm worried that I might not be able to reach high enough on the hatch to push any button that would be normally pressed to close the hatch.
What is the highway range doing 75 mph. This is a speed people usually travel at going from LA to San Francisco or vice versa. I want to know I want to know if there's only one charge at cattleman City halfway for maybe 15 minutes is all you need. Or simply wait on the 4680 battery and huge improvement that are coming in a year or two
I remember the nav saying I would need to stop 2 times but once only for 20 min and this was from San Diego to SF. I would be comfortable going 270 miles give or take.
Brandon - what model L2 EVSE charger did you get? I'm lucky that my circuit breaker electrical box is on the outside side of my garage so it was easy for me to add a 40A 240v circuit breaker and cable to reach the other side of the garage to a 240V 30A L2 EVSE unit I installed there.
@@btheconsumer not same charging speed. your 14-30 setup is current limited to 24amps. The wall charger with a 60amp breaker and correct wire size will give you 48amps during charging. improved charging speed but not really needed for daily commute. and as you stated, running new wires from breaker box to garage would be expensive.
Right but if I don't have 6 AWG wire, I'm not getting 60amps. So my 14-30 is Max I can get until I change the wiring. And if I change the wiring, then a normal 14-50 would get me plenty without needing the $500 tesla unit. Power is power.
Got my 2022 performance Y last month! Absolutely one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m in the process of getting solar and once it’s in the savings will get even better.

Great review, I’ve learned a lot from you on your other channel. Thanks for the time and effort that you put in to provide these videos.
Because of you I have the A80j and the C1 👍 Thanks Again
Nicely done B. Great to see you branching out and excellent real world review
Thanks Wayne... have a good day
Thank you. This is very informative and it relieved some of my worries. There are a lot of videos that I watched and your video covered very important information and very detailed. Enjoy and stay safe.
Glad it could help.
Straight, meaningful & just simple review of the product, thanks for that
Awesome video!! I am going thru the "I gotta have an EV phase" and I watch every EV video I can watch like a hungry kid is attracted to dinner lol. I also am a content creator so I know what it takes to run, or to launch and run a newish YT channel. You obviously come from some experience because you did an awesome job on your videos so far. Kudos and big thumbs up 👍👍👍
As far as Tesla is concerned you hits on all the important points. I'm still in the "dreaming" about it stage so I do the "imagine what I would do first" mental games. You hit right on target like an arrow on some points. Showing those scratched up rims made me cheer like I was watching a football game lol. The consensus of the reasonable Tesla owners with YT channels is specifically targeted towards Martian MW05 19" rims with the proper tire sizes to solve for more rubber for a softer ride and stronger wheels to keep breakage at bay . Have you had that idea run thru your mind?
And the other big clue words I listen too or listen for is about ride. The comments from Yer's is a little too large of a difference for comfort. They run from "the car is too noisy" to the "new 2022 is much quieter" it it makes my gut churn in indecisiveness. It pushes me maybe unnecessarily towards the X where you get continuous "so quiet and smooth" comments. I am attracted to that - but it's double the price. I know test drives are in order, but I just wanted your take on that :)
Congratulations on your new launch, of course I subscribed so I can watch even more Tesla stuff, but I can watch as your channel unfolds. As a retired professional photographer and now a YT content creator I can tell you the audio and video was and is spot on with nothing calling attention to itself and that is exactly what you want. You don't want those stupid comments of "I can't hear you" or "the music is too loud over your voice" or video that isn't up to snuff. Technically you are solid as a rock, so it's now all up to your content. I would include some "kids angles" point of view showing how they are a makeup of the family like EV Dave shows his dogs in the Tesla occasionally and then uses that as an opportunity to show off "dog mode" and so on. Of course Kyle at Out Of Spec is the big kahuna and the advantage of guys like that to smaller or beginning channels is to tap in for ideas on other video content, kind of like a "monkey see monkey do" type thing 😊 Very helpful when in the "what do I do next" mode. I go thru that myself in my genre' lol.
Here's to you hitting the big numbers. You have a friendly communication style and also a friendly personality and come across with a welcoming feeling which important in videos. A lot of folks try and sound to "macho" and cool which can sometimes have an unfriendly and put-offish result. I felt right at home with your style. Big thumbs up for both your style and the content of this video 👍👍
Great review and welcome to the Tesla family. Something you left out that I would've mentioned is the regular software updates that Tesla vehicles receive. This is my favorite feature because this means your car will get new features and better performance over time. In effect, the car gets better over time.
Yeah, took them long enough to get a simple "add a stop" feature. Also my Bluetooth is quite bad in this car vs other previous cars so they have more work to do
Nice car!! Really digging the design, good luck with your new channel!
Thanks bro. It's a blast to punch it. 👊
Your report is 100% !
I agree with every word on your video. Best wishes to you and your family.
You can “recover” those 15 miles difference by changing to 20” tires. Although requires an investment on your part. I’ve ordered the Y performance as well. Good video, straight to the point. I like it !
Congrats on your MYP!
Thanks. It's an exciting car to buy at this point. A lot of upside and Tesla has a big advantage on EVs for a bit
@@btheconsumer what’s the advantage you’re taking about? I own a Tesla MYP and all I keep reading about is that Elon is opening up the US superchargers to any and all EV’s and they are going to be doing it very very soon. So our one and only advantage is gone very soon. I already use many locations that are always jam packed and you have to wait for a charge - how is that going to be for us when everyone can use them and they are taking up multiple spaces because they don’t know how to properly park their EV’s? I saw a guy using up 4 spots with a model y the other night because he had a trailer attached to it. Seriously take your trailer off while you charge - you’re using 1 charger and blocking 3 while you cook dinner out of the back of your teardrop trailer. By the way the 10% the cost vs gas is way off too. I get a discount rate on my electric and it’s still hundreds of dollars a month extra on my electric bill - so I say it’s half as much as gas realistically. My electric bill used to be $80-$120. If I actively charge every night and am driving a lot my electric bill has been as high as $325 during a month it’s typically $80. That’s a huge jump in electric cost. So it’s not as cheap to charge at home and that’s with the EV discounts. Now I just charge at our city hall that has 12 chargers that are free after 5pm up til 7am on the weekdays and free all weekend. So I always charge for free now unless I’m on the road and use superchargers.
You're not doing it right my friend. Our electric bill is $50 less since we have a Tesla and we drive 120 miles a day. The technology and battery production gives tesla an advantage. They make 1m EV cars a year.. FSD, even autopilot is solid. They're pretty far ahead.
Amazing review! You speak very well and with a good pace!
Thanks. Gotta keep the flow. Have a good one
B, Thanks for starting the channel. You are always so practical in your reviews. Appreciate that very much.
Thanks Stephen. Appreciate the support.
finally someone that didnt get the ridiculous white interior lol. Looks great! Also 3.5 seconds to 4.8 seconds is a huge difference and worth every penny!
Good vid Brandon. A change from all the tv stuff. I will be watching you here as well.
Thanks Julio... a lot more to come.
Been enjoying your content on the the Installer channel. Nice to see you join the Tesla family! I have a 2021 Red Model Y Long Range. I have to admit I love it. Your other option could have been to get the LR and add the acceleration boost later. It lowers the 0-60 time by .6 of a second.
its still not the same as the performance model - that additional .4 secs though appears to be a small number gives a big kick - plus the lowered suspension and performance brake instill more confidence cornering at high speeds. I just wish it had an air suspension!
@@gokaruna Add an air suspension to it.
@@Superman-xr1oh a future treat perhaps - but I am still waiting on the Cybertruck.
The most Informative Tesla video I have seen! Thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you. I think it's just because I tried to answer all the questions I had. 😄
Wow B, been following you for a while installing TVs but now EVs lol I just got a 2022 M3LR myself! Enjoy man!
Nice. It is a good time to ditch gas. New channel, more fun to be had.
Great point on holding the Steering Wheel..
Great review. I've watched them all this superb. You deserve way more subs.
Just started this channel. Will have a lot more videos
Excited for your new adventure B.
You should consider when you need new tires to put the falcon FK 460s. I put the 295s in the back and 275s in the front and now the car is even nicer.
Very nice review. I have an MYP on order that is scheduled to arrive between June 22 - July 20.I hope I enjoy mine as much as you have enjoyed yours.
I couldn't see you not enjoying it. It's a great cat.
I’m pleased you said the suspension is good.
I agree, it’s a firm ride, much like a performance German car.
Journalists have criticised the ride, but there is nothing wrong with it .
dad just got the model y long range, loves it , it took like a year for the long range, i might get the Performance
Great review Sir. Hope your foot recovery goes well. Thank you.
Thanks and thanks. I'll be back soon enough. Glad it was left foot so I can drive. 😆
Really can't wait to get mine now. l order the model y long range back in March. Supposed to get it in August but they changed my delivery date to September and I added the third row and I should have my solar up soon so can't wait! Also like the RAV4 Prime but you will still need GAS 2004 Camry I'm putting in 85 every week just about 70 miles newer Camry get better gas mileage I drive daily from work and kids pickups
Ordered the Model Y Performance about three weeks ago! I am running 100% solar in my house and I am producing more power that the amount I'm using, so recharging at home with a wall charger is not gonna cost me a cent 😃 already installed the 60 amp breaker and ordered the wall charger 🤣 can't wait for delivery date (june-july 2022)
Haha, only thing I can say besides awesome is.... prepare to want 2 of them. 😆
I generally watch you as the TV Installer, and appreciate you using an Apple TV as I do. I decided to give your new channel a look. Thanks for your honest assessment about the car and the problems and misunderstanding you had. I really liked your review. Thank You.
Thanks for stopping by. I had to stop using the apple tv for youtube tv. Some mismatch and flickering on ESPN and other channels. Can't get rid of it no matter the changes I make. Doesn't happen on native OS apps. But still love the ATV
@@btheconsumer really sorry to hear that. Keep up the good work.
Great overview! I've only watched like 1000 others videos. 🤦🏻♂️ I see this was 5 months ago. Anything new? Any issues?
Love the looks of Red Model Y Performance..........its the best looking car imo
Thanks. I saw the Red X with the same look. Was 🔥🔥
The MYP is the Super Fun Machine - a roller-coaster on wheels. It leaves the MYLR in the dust.
Do you have the double pane glass on the front and back windows?
Nice video and really good take aways. Are you making an updated video on your owner's review?
Great Video! Keep going! Going to get a Y too when it’s available :)
Loved your content awesome job as you’ve covered all the common and some non-common issues, I myself ordered the LR model Y with 19” rims, I also plan on powered coating the rims black with black decals all the way around the vehicle. The vehicle is Grey with white interior
Thanks. The LR w/19 is quite nice. Enjoy.
I get my Tesla Y in June or July super excited. I test drove one last week and the Generative breaking is definitely something I am going to have to get use to.
It's awesome. I was worried but absolutely love it.
Ordered MYLR 10/21; originally scheduled for 5/22, then 6/22, THEN 12/22-1/23,.. now 10/22-11/22. Mildly frustrating, but we’re in the “want” not “need” category fortunately.
Great to watch your review as I am looking at the exact same EV you own, and I too live in San Diego!
Yeah its great. Wish the suspension had a more relaxed setting. I heard the 3 is a little smoother and the long ranges of both are the smoothest but the tight suspension is awesome for rocking around.
Tip: When you get the Autopilot hands-on-wheel alert, you can just press (not click) the right-side stalk. Much more relaxing than wrestling the steering wheel to provide the torque the system is looking for.
That worked well thanks. 👏
Thanks for the video 👍👍 I myself got a 2022 Tesla Y performance in RED. Love it 😀
Yeah its legit. Love it
Does the autopilot require two hands on the wheel? I'm missing my right hand so two on the wheel is not physically possible.
Everything is straight to the point. Great video. I'm waiting for my MYP to be delivered in about 2 weeks. I'm still hesitated about charging. i'm kinda nervous about it. In my head, there's always doubt, such as, what if I forget to charge, what if the charge won't work properly, what if there's problem with battery, what if an update change the driving behaviour, etc,. it will render my trip and daily plan. On the other hand, i'm kinda happy to get an EV, so that wherever I go, whenever there's traffic jam, I won't need to worry about gas, I can drive around the city with ease. My current car is LEXUS RX 450H, great car, put gas once a month, range 900km each tank (very accurate) regardless the weather.
The front seats are high for a reason, coupled with lower back seats it expands leg room in the rear. This is largely why it feels larger than you expect. Clever design. The downside i find is the higher you sit the more rocking motion you get on bumpy roads. Small price to pay. We have the same red MYP w/ white interior, graphite dash. Best car we've ever had. Can't sell the ICE cars fast enough.
It would be nice if it would beep when reversing....
Hi, Have you the new vision feature and how is it without USS availability? We have ordered a MYP which now comes without USS, but have read mixed reviews on Vision when it comes to parking. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the video, MYP owner here. Rear Tire blew up on the freeway (long story), I didn’t know that tire selections are limited on uberturbine wheels and cost $450+ a tire! People who go for the LR have more choices with tires on the LR wheels than MYP wheels. Its Something to consider if buying the MYP over the LR. I honestly got the MYP for the shorter delivery window but overall
Still love it 👍🏽 just prepare to bite the bullet when one of tires get hit or when it’s time to change tires ! Ouch!
You also could just sell the rims and tires and make out like a bandit.
Great review. I’m sold.
Thoughts on PPF?
Nice video B!
Hi Brandon. How do you and your family feel about the seats in the Model Y? Especially I'm thinking about if you think they become to warm to sit in during summertime?
I have the seat heat on all the time and AC going. The car cools off pretty fast if desired
Be aware that if you can’t afford a performance MY, the LR model with acceleration boost option is a good choice.
0-60 in 4.2S and 564 HP
(The only drawback is the horrid 19inch wheels with plastic trims !)
quite a shock on a €70K car !!
Great review. Thank you
2:54 is it really oled?
How was it going from the f150 to the myp? I know you still have your f150 but I’m considering trading my raptor in for the myp mainly due to overall lower cost (fuel, maintenance, etc). The f150 comes in handy for me once or twice a year but it’s mainly my daily driver. No off-roading in it and I don’t need it for work. But I love the size and ride height of the truck. Would definitely love to get your thoughts!
Bryan, I have never been a huge truck fan. I had it for work and it is a great truck but the MYP has so many features and is nimble on the road. Driving up hills is night and day, truck pushes hard but the MYP just scoots up with ease. Fun experience and I no longer like driving my F150
Waiting on myp sold my 2020 f250 diesel. Price of fuel is crazy.
Crazy for sure.
Bryan, Get the MYP now and maybe we'll see a F150 Lightning in your future. :)
@@btheconsumer Great new channel B! Are you intending on getting a second EV to replace the F150? The F150 lightning or another Tesla? What would hold you back from getting an EV for work? Thanks ;)
Tesla also has the cameras under the side view mirrors to see the curbs as well as warning sounds. You missed the additional trunk storage and on screen turn signal cameras. Certain 2022 models no longer have radar but camera view instead. Overall great video quality.
I’m really liking my Model 3 Performance in red. My 6 month ownership review is coming soon. Nice choice on MYP red! 👍
Nice. Yeah the 3 performance in red looks awesome. I'll look for it.
The yoke steering wheel for tesla is perfect. Yoke steering wheel is a unique and fun way to steer. This high quality steering wheel has an incredible feel, too. It's a must-have for long road trips! I know where can you get it at a great price 😁😁
Awesome review👏👏👏
My hubby surprised me on Easter Sunday that he purchased a Tesla for me…the same as yours…performance, color, tires, and interior color. Wonderful to see what I will get whenever it gets here. Originally, June/July. Now, July-August🥺😢 I’m just slight nervous (a lot) on how to drive one. Any suggestions? And, is the panoramic roof quite tinted?
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Btw, love the Yankees hat. A big fan since the late 1970s. Loved Bucky Dent!
Awesome. You will love it. The roof it's very tinted. Not much to complain about.
Hey first video let's go!! When lexus comes out with a full EV. I'll be in the market for one! I'm just a lexus fan and I can't ever drive another car!!! But man that tesla is nice 👌🏽
Nothing beats the Lexus reliability!
@@stz03 you got that right I love my lexus
@@movie_av_impulse what model do you have?
I am looking forward to the established car companies to get more EVs on road. Tesla has a huge advantage with their giga factories and the battery production. It's hard not to get swept up in it once you see their process
@@btheconsumer I hear you on that B! I do love the tesla but unfortunately for me I am a lexus lover! The feel of a tesla is like no other I have driven in one! I was holding on to the oh sh*t bar 😆
Dude i get delivery of my red model y proformance with black seats September 5 to October 17 who do you use for auto insurance?; if i wanted to get long range then the earliest delivery would be February 2023
How many miles are you getting on your 21" rims? I am debating between MYP and MY LR. I love the look and extra features of MYP but super concern about the extra cost of tires on 21" wheels. It is super expensive and as EV cars, the tires go fast. If you had to go back in time, Would you choose the MY LR? Thanks
Which is more accurate miles or percentage
Great video, thanks you!
When did you order and when did you take delivery?
Tesla solar panels for your house 🏡 to charge your car 🚗 and house 🏡, what would be the price and would the electric ⚡️ company owe you money 💰 every month for putting more energy into the grid ? EV car 🚗 buyers might want to know this information prior to purchase?
Awesome video! I put food in the Frunk too 😂
Thanks Jacob. I am excited to take a road trip and put all my Redbull in a cooler up there.
does the ryzen chip comes with the car from factory or and upgrade? thank you
Our MYP has it. I think most will at this point.
Any concerns about finish and panel fit? I've read so many issues with this on Teslas.
You mentioned the F150, i currently own a f150 and im scared to switch, would you say it was worth it. Or do you miss the spaciousness and inside room you had on the f150
Thanks for the review. How many miles per charge?
We get the 120-135 each night. It can go to 300 but I charge to 90% or 270 as they recommend. They say its better to charge every other night and take it down to 60 miles or so and back up to 270. A lot of people making their cases anyways.
Since you made the order and payed the 250$ how long did it take for them to send you the first estimate for delivery time?
Awaiting my red model Y Performance in May/June. Wheels do stick out quite a bit. Not looking forward to curb rash.
The car is wider than it seems too. I feel like I park 6 ft away and then look at it's like 1 ft. So just go tighter than you think on turns
@@btheconsumer If you reversed time, would you have opted for the long range? Totally see that the added acceleration may be fun, but besides that, would you still go performance? For me, it looks more slick with the red calipers but living here in Colorado where I'll be having some snowy days, wonder if the performance will be worse?
I would be just fine with either. I love the speed but not everyone needs that all the time. I get around pretty quickly in the MYP
Too funny, You're in my neighborhood!
I get my Black Model Y in July.. See you on the road around the hood! :)
Nice.. Flag me down sometime. It would be funny. Enjoy. July not too far away.
B it only going to get better 1000 mile per charge can't wait for that day to come
I rent out Teslas on turo and I just bought my 5th one last month. It was a MYP as well. I still watched the whole video 😂
Awesome. I want to rent a X plaid to see if I want to buy down the road.
I was under the impression they changed the tires to the Michelin as4?
Performance is 21" Pirelli
My family and I ordered a Tesla MYP (our first EV) and hopeful for delivery in a few weeks. The one topic I find most confusing is charging options when traveling. Of course I understand superchargers but all the other ones are quite confusing and which charging adapters to get. TY
Sounds like you haven’t had a chance to explore the voice commands. Check out some TH-cam videos on that and you’ll really enjoy the vehicle. Also the stats app will enable you to use Siri to issue voice commands. It’s a must have companion app for Teslas
"View Live Camera" option under Sentry Mode causes the lights to flash. That was per the description of that feature. Haven't seen any changes to that to suggest otherwise. Did you see a change?
When did you order your MYP? Just curious, I ordered mine mid Feb with a supposed March date. As of three days ago it was pushed back by Tesla for the third time, now saying mid May to mid June.
Yeah we ordered November to Feb and in late January they moved us. Our car was off the assembly line or "born" just 3 days before we took delivery. So I'd believe their delay is real. Tons of orders right now.
Consider that you might get an Austin car, with all the latest updates?!
Worth waiting for!
Question. I know u can open the rear hatch from the Tesla app. But can you actually close the hatch with the app as well? I'm in a wheelchair and I'm worried that I might not be able to reach high enough on the hatch to push any button that would be normally pressed to close the hatch.
Yes you can close it. Good question.
You received your car right before Spring Break, but when did you put down your deposit? How long from reservation to delivery?
End of November.
Great video! I just sold my Model Y for a 22 Model S. The suspension / ride quality of the Y was my only complaint.
When did you order the car? I heard model y's being built now are being shipped with michelin pilot sport all season tires
We got it in March, ordered in nov
What is the highway range doing 75 mph. This is a speed people usually travel at going from LA to San Francisco or vice versa. I want to know I want to know if there's only one charge at cattleman City halfway for maybe 15 minutes is all you need. Or simply wait on the 4680 battery and huge improvement that are coming in a year or two
I remember the nav saying I would need to stop 2 times but once only for 20 min and this was from San Diego to SF. I would be comfortable going 270 miles give or take.
Brandon - what model L2 EVSE charger did you get?
I'm lucky that my circuit breaker electrical box is on the outside side of my garage so it was easy for me to add a 40A 240v circuit breaker and cable to reach the other side of the garage to a 240V 30A L2 EVSE unit I installed there.
I did the NEMA 14-30 as we had a newer 30 amp in garage. So it's same as yours 30amp x 240V
@@btheconsumer I installed my L2 EVSE charger several years ago with a direct power cable connection, no plug.
Holy crap, that is a besutiful Tesla and I'm not even a fan! 0~60 in 3.5 sec is insane. The Performance is very cool!
Why you didn't get the Tesla wall charger ?
Why? I get what I need from tbe 45$45 adapter i got and that is $500 more cost... same charging speed
@@btheconsumer not same charging speed.
your 14-30 setup is current limited to 24amps. The wall charger with a 60amp breaker and correct wire size will give you 48amps during charging. improved charging speed but not really needed for daily commute. and as you stated, running new wires from breaker box to garage would be expensive.
Right but if I don't have 6 AWG wire, I'm not getting 60amps. So my 14-30 is Max I can get until I change the wiring. And if I change the wiring, then a normal 14-50 would get me plenty without needing the $500 tesla unit. Power is power.
When did you order it and how long did it take to get it
I had stated in video late 2021 I think end of NOV, and got March 19. The car was only made 3 days earlier.
