All Tesla models unfortunately suffer from limited rear visibility. On my Model S, I quickly got used to keeping the rear camera on at all times. The wide angle view is actually perfect to avoid blindspots and wish all manufacturers did this. Looks like on the Y you actually get a feed from 3 cameras. Very nice.
I believe mine was fairly accurate. I don't remember what mine was estimated at, I believe it was 524. I just checked my loan, it is 533. Keep in mind the loan isn't actually through tesla.
Over 1 million Teslas on the road. Consumer Reports releases its owner satisfaction data every year and for the last three years, Tesla has been the leader. Well, CR reports now says four consecutive years, because Tesla has done it again in 2021. Ignore the idiots, haters, and ner-do-wells.
It’s easy to install the Tesla wall charger yourself, there is plenty of information out there to inform you on how to get it done just have to make sure you know what your doing, if your not comfortable though then yes hiring an electrician is the better option, great video.
I own a Model Y Long Range. I love it, but it has 3 issues that are close to deal breakers for me, and I’ve figured out workarounds for 2 of the 3, but they’re expensive workarounds. Worth sharing with others who may view this video since they were not covered: 1. The blind spot monitoring isn’t there, and what was shown in this video doesn’t work reliably. Tesla claims they have blind spot monitoring as part of Autopilot on their website. But they don’t. A light on the side mirror doesn’t cost much, but they choose to omit that. The surrounding cars is not really reliable, and I’ve had numerous times where it didn’t show a car there, but I did have one in my blind spot, because a car accelerated into my blind spot. I indicated and started moving, and only then did I get an audible warning and the car prevented me from moving, but that’s really not a pleasant experience, and it can be solved very cheaply. Considering that a 2017 study found that blind spot monitoring reduces crashes by 11%, this is a big omission by Tesla. Of course there are many workarounds, from looking over your shoulder, to getting old fashioned blind spot mirrors to stick on, or using your side mirrors only for blind spot, and your rear view camera for everything else. I don’t have a workaround for this one. I’ve switched to driving using my side mirrors primarily for blind spot and main mirror for everything else. It’s an adjustment, but I’ve gotten used to it. 2. Lack of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Tesla fan boys and fan girls claim that Tesla’s infotainment system is the best in the business, and in many respects it is. But if you use anything but Spotify, like Apple Music, or Audible, or use Waze, you have to control these from your phone, which introduces unnecessary risk. If you are very reliant on one of these, I wouldn’t believe the apologists who say you’ll get used to it. I’m not used to it 4 months in, and I’m resorting to installing a screen from a company called Hansshow (not exactly well known) to get this functionality. It seems to be pretty good. But it will cost me around $800 installed and I’d say it’s not the prettiest thing around. 3. Even with 19” wheels, the Long Range version of the Tesla has a very firm ride, that on rough roads, can be really uncomfortable. This car needs adjustable air suspensions like those found on the Model X, Model S, and at a minimum optional on every competing ICE SUV/CUV. If you live in an area with a lot of potholes, etc, take it for a long test drive first and drive those roads to make sure you’re ok with this. Otherwise, a company called Unplugged performance sells some apparently very good adjustable suspensions that can fix most of this. They cost $3k before installation. I’m going to get them, but waiting to see if that company has installers in my area, since the company is based in CA, and I’m in Maryland.
I’ve heard a lot about the rough suspension. I drove the model 3 in 2020 and found it to be rather bumpy. The suspension is one of the reasons I’m a bit put off from the teslas. I had a car back in the day with brutal suspension and: never again lol
I had two weeks of several severe phantom braking occurrences while only using adaptive cruise control, aka Autopilot, with FSD turned off completely. In each case I was on the highway driving around 60, towards the sun. In each case this came close to causing an accident, and in 2 of them i had 3 kids in the car. So I’m done with the Model Y. I traded it in and got a great trade in. Got a regular ICE SUV instead, the Genesis GV70. It will cost me more in gas, but I can’t drive a car where I feel like software updates can cause this kind of issue to occur. It is simply too dangerous.
@@t1328 wow, that sounds really scary, bro! i don't blame you for doing what you did. i'm wondering if all manufacturers are eventually heading towards what tesla is doing, though. they're all gunning for self-driving crap. it's not crap if it all works perfectly, but in this transitionary period i expect we'll have a lot of problems :(
@@simonp8088 yeah, I’m sure you’re right. And I’m also convinced Tesla will get it right in a few years. Maybe I’ll get one again at that time. They’re far ahead of most others. Just doing the beta testing on drivers (and everyone around them).
Have to disagree on 'Blind Spot' warnings, works well if you use turn signals, even w/out have to train yourself to glance at monitor for Orange vehicles, at least on new Model 3… Good luck with Tesla interacting w/ Apple & Android, asked about when ordering , was told some ' Superior Vertical Integration' crap, Elon doesn’t want to rely/interact with anyone else, never mind have them poking around in the electronics , don’t blame him as much as I loved it on my Pacifica…
Just FYI, I've had my MYLR for 10 mo. now. I live in the midwest and winters can be very cold. You mentioned estimated range vs. real range. Based on many many miles driving in the cold on both long distance drives (1600+ miles round trip) and shorter city drives, that real range is closer to 60%. I've driven the same route in mid-summer and mid-winter and the real range is night-n-day different. The same superchargers that I rolled into at 30% in summer, I was limping into at 5% in winter. For winter driving, I learned quickly to assume 50% of the range the car says you will get. If it says I will be at 30% upon arrival, I am comfortable with that and I know I will still have likely 15%. But, in winter, I will not leave a SC unless it estimates AT LEAST 30% remaining upon arrival. In the summer, I have actually done better than the estimate. So I am good with a 10-15% remaining estimate. Only in summer though. Just throwing that out there. Range Anxiety is real in the cold weather. Not so much in warm weather.
Winter driving in an EV can be a drag. I had a first generation Nissan Leaf before I bought my Model Y. The Leaf in the cold was miserable. The range plunged so much that I couldn’t turn on the heat. The Y is much better and stays warm with more than enough range. The only problem I have had driving in cold weather was one time when it was snowing hard. The cameras which control the autopilot got covered up and we couldn’t use cruise control on the highway. Probably wouldn’t have used it anyway but the message kept coming up on the screen which was kinda annoying.
I want passenger grip handles. I just don't get why Tesla doesn't go for the "low hanging fruit" on improvements and quality issues. "Simple" changes like the 360 degree camera view, sizing the fonts, and being able to move around and size the icons are no-brainers. I am looking forward to getting the auto-shift feature in our Model 3 which is now only available on the new S.
I own a model y, I live in New England, and wish I knew about the doors sometimes freezing in the winter . On the real cold days u have to heat the car up for a out 20 mins. B4 u get in so they don't freeze . I still love my model y,and want to get another 1 for my wife
Do you have a link to how you applied the ceramic coating? I'm waiting for the 2024 Tesla Y to get released next year. That will be time I plan to purchase.
Good video but some of the battery info is off. Elon tweeted about this to clear up the rumors. They say charge to 90% because regen braking only works 90% or lower. So it's an efficiency thing. Also, you are supposed to go down to 20% to maximize charge rate (might not matter if you charge occasionally at home). Batteries will degrade either way so going to 100% isn't going to make much of a difference on a battery this large over 8+ years
Great video. I’m getting my Model Y AWD LR delivered on May 17 and I’m excited to pick it up. The first thing I’m doing is getting ppf and ceramic coat straight from the dealership. I’m not sure what order you mentioned but the best thing to do is get the ppf first and then ceramic coat it.
At 3:40 , driving 70 or 80 mph plus a cold winter day will lose *MORE* than 20% range, without a doubt. A Tesla owner in Idaho made a TH-cam video, he talked extensively about this. He had to have his car *towed* *home* because the range was much less than expected.
@@HMCuber I’m having trouble with regenerative braking and sometimes I forget how a keycard unlocks the door and turns on the motor. All the controls are different. I love the quiet drive though. Motor is extremely quiet and maintenance is low. Just got a supercharger installed too.
@@jayasmrmore3687 Thats sounds sweet. I definitely wanna purchase one when I get older. Hopefully by then competition increases, prices drop, or there they are still around 🙏
Good video, Matt. None of your points were deal breakers for me. I’m in Australia, where the Model Y is not yet available but, as soon as it is, I’ll be ordering one. Just some constructive feedback… it’s not necessary to talk so fast with your commentary. I actually found it irritating trying to keep up with and absorb what you were saying. Good luck with your channel.
@@MattDanadel thank you for this review .. could you please active the cc in your vides this option allow write your speek so if you speek to fast i can read the suptitle ..
I jus got mine today and so far I’m loving it 🥰 the only thing I guess I dislike is some of the interior feels pretty cheap other then that I don’t have any problems the screen is amazing oh and the top roof when it’s really sunny gets annoying that’s my only complains other then that I love it! 9/10!
If you're down to do a little bit of DIY and save some money, probably order it yourself. If you don't mind spending the extra money and having a professional do it, then do that. I will make a video sometime in the future on how to apply the PPF to the front bumper and hood on a Model Y
IMHO, I have had my Model 3 for 3+ years (single motor long range) drive mostly highway, and get about 80% of mileage that the car estimates, UNLESS I happen to drive the speed limit and keep conservative on the acceleration - both hard to do in CA. It shows 310 when fully charges but goes down very rapidly at first. Never have taken it down to minimum charge (leaving 15%). DON"T EVER let it run out. (also true with ICE cars) Hope that helps.
When you have the cameras up, the navigation shows you the next turn/road right below the speed. I don't look behind myself bc it also has the cars in your vicinity in the bottom left
In 2022 blind spot is shown on the screen now. Also,per Tesla you can charge up to 90% . Tesla specific expenses applies to any car, not specific to Tesla. Enjoy the Tesla.
Thanks Matt! I have ordered my 2022 Model Y. At first it said Feb 22 delivery, now it’s saying Dec 27 to 31. How reliable was you delivery timing? I have an RV and have a tow car. I had the front area covered with the plastic protection, but didn’t think about that for the Y. I ordered mud flaps, some trays and a “charger” which I have received. I’m in California and a cold day is in the 50’s. Usually the 60’s and 70’s are common year round. I had a Chevy Volt for about five years and it took a big hit on cold days. Your peddles look like the type in the performance model.
The delivery time frame is accurate. When I got mine, it had a small window of days to choose from. I got my performance pedals from Amazon: amzn.to/3gZrvrM
@@nanadee5196 I don’t know if my method was the best. I worked my way through college. Got a job in accounting. Passed the CPA exam. After a few years got a job that I stayed in for 39 years. Saved money. Then bought the Tesla. There probably are better ways. Good luck.
I enjoy my Tesla by not having to go to the dealer for all kinds of crap and maintenance. I will never go back to a gas car unless I hit the lottery : )
Too many owners believe that most people live in single family homes rather than multi-family units; which at this point doesn't provide ways to charge overnight or daily or at all, let alone connect to internet from parking areas.
@@SgtBoudreau Have you asked about installing a charger? If you pay to have it installed they may be willing...If there are washer and dryers in the basement, there is enough power, although there may be an issue as to who pays for the electric.
In general, too much of hedge fund managers are trying to short Tesla by moderating content. Nothing is deal breaker and it’s hard to accept product like Tesla as best in the class like Apple. All noise and it takes decades for other vendors to catch up with Tesla. Happy buying Tesla.
Tesla is more expensive to "fuel" than gas vehicles. 300+miles for range but when you use a/c during hot weather and other factors. I filled up at 20% before 120 miles. If u filled at a super charger station it'll be $22 from 20 to 90%.
Hi folks, there's more to i stalling a home EV charging unit than just running the wiring. Quite a lot of circuit and user protection circuitry may also be required. Use a reputable electrician who knows who is certified to do these installations.
Your tires life will be supper short. This will be the most expensive maintenance for this car. My first set of tire gone within 20,000 miles while my accord and MB lasted 50,000 miles for new set of tires.
@@MattDanadel There in lies your problem....Forget what other people do and do what suits you.....Oh and nice video I would love to have a Tesla but for me the most I can hope for in my price range is going to be a hybrid vehicle.....Probably a Rav4.
As I scroll through the various articles from people who have purchased a Tesla I'm finding a very high level of buyer's remorse. As a teenager I got suckered into one of those carnival exotic dancer shows where you were sold a box containing three candies and a promise of a super prize which was equivalent to a Cracker Jack toy with the con that you would be too embarrassed to speak up about how you got taken. Same thing with the people who bought a Tesla. After listing all the issues with their car, buyers keep saying how great the car is. Nobody wants to look like a fool.
i was debating myself about Tesla and Rav4 hybrid. It is hard but in long run i think tesla will shrink and remain the sport high end car. can you image that you thousands of cars waiting to charge card daily? how to handle this problem?
You don't need to use the superchargers unless you're on a roadtrip or really need it. You charge your Tesla at home every day when you get home from school or work and it's topped off for the next day
@@MattDanadel i went to show room to talk to teala. The out to door price for performance model y is 74k (lower model does save much). It is hard decision because i could buy toyota for less and use that extra money for gas years to come. Plus insurance for tesla is high too. It is a really hard choice for me
I wouldn't compare a Toyota to Tesla. Maybe a similar car both performance wise and price wise to the Tesla instead. But yeah, Toyota's are less expensive
@@didequen3339 Good points. You might want to consider future depreciation on your Rav4 Hybrid (we have a 2016 model, which we love) as the demand for EVs in general increases while the demand for ICE vehicles (hybrids are essentially ICE vehicles) shrinks. Just a thought. Best wishes on whichever way you decide to proceed. Cheers.
Does any other of you Tesla Model Y owners suffer from the vibrations of the car in bumpy roads. It's killing me. I can feel even super slight bumps on the road. I reduced the tire pressure to 38 PSI to have a softer ride, but it didn't make any change. Is there something wrong with my car? or somebody else has the same issue?
I don't agree with the people that say that. The Model Y suspension is great, in my opinion. Both comfortable and sporty. The seats are a dream. Feel like you're sitting on clouds
Thanks for your video but come on, the visualisation of the cars around you is no replacement for a proper blind spot monitor. The LAST thing you want to do when considering an overtake is to look at and interact with a computer screen to see what’s around you. And the latest attempt at a blind spot monitor is no better. It only displays when you start indicating and in the UK it’s useless as it’s obscured by your arms on the wheel.
The paint protector is not needed. That’s a joke. The charging at night using a standard outlet is more than fine unless you’re driving more than 30-40 miles a day.
Nah it's not that the paint chips easily. It's because there is no grille in the front and there is more paint surface area. You just would see the chips from normal wear and tear more
You know when you put it in autopilot and a message on the screen says, please keep your hands on the wheel, yeah, that one…maybe listen to it? The more people that pretend it’s hands free the more likely it is to be slowed or cancelled by those wishing tesla would go away.
I agree, I found this childish behaviour irresponsible. It is definitely sending the wrong information to any viewers, and you did it to impress. You failed.
LFP battery "likes to be at 100%" (Elon Musk).... LFP coming to many US cars. If you know you're going to need it, plan to reach 100% just before you leave..... No problem. Heat pump should guard against the majority of "winter range loss". Much more efficient than resistive heating, using waste heat from the Motors/ battery.
Can you "dumb" this comment down for me? I expect my Model Y performance to arrive this month, I live in Denver where it is currently -5 degrees and this sounds important.
It's a mixed feeling. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. For me, the cons outweighed the pros. The thinner tires larger rim have a higher probability of getting damaged and have a somewhat rougher ride. And I think they only come with summer tires. Then again, the insane performance is amazing. For me, I couldn't justify the extra price at the time I was purchasing it. Maybe in the future!
I have the Performance Model 3 because the crazy lease deal I got made it cheaper per month than the LR 🤯 In the UK the LR has a current list price of £47k and the Performance is £60k. There's no way it's worth that. Also the LR with smaller wheels and standard suspension is more comfortable and has a longer range. The Performance performance is hilarious/astonishing, but it's of no real use day to day. The LR performance is plenty and the other advantages outweigh the increased performance. I'd be tempted to pay the £1200 to increase the acceleration which is an option to buy through the touchscreen at any time.
My insurance increased a few hundred dollars (can't remember the exact amount). Still trying to understand the reason, but the crazy stories in the news of Tesla drivers watching movies on Autopilot and crashing may have something to do with it.
The Tesla expenses are most of why I haven't jumped to being a Tesla owner. I have to keep that $1,200 fee in mind whenever I look at the pricing (it can get better or worse with used ones). Another reason is the monthly payments on a new 2022 Tesla are out of my price range by a couple hundred (though if desperate I could probably find a second job). Also, I could finance a used one but I feel like I'd regret not getting the color (blue) I want, not getting the range/AWD I want, or miss out on modern hardware features (like heated wheel). Right now, I have a 2015 Nissan Leaf S and that has 82ish (depending on weather) claimed range which is realistically like 60 miles, so I'm sure literally any Tesla would feel nice for range. I'm just worried I cave to spend my entire spare income on a Tesla and realize I would've really wanted that extra hundred miles range or whatever else. I don't have GPS; I have to use my phone or (likely) buy a Garmin to slap on the windshield. I mainly just commute to work a few miles, so I'll just have to enjoy my Leaf however long I can make it last--and hopefully save up enough to finance a Tesla and maybe pick up a 2021 used Model 3 (or whatever seems best to me for hardware in 5-10 years). Side note, I love the comprehensive list of accessories you recommend in the description. Great video overall. 👍
@@zackjames2381 By your logic, I should've stuck with my 15 MPG gas guzzler instead of financing my used Nissan Leaf for $200/mo, which was life changing.
@@zackjames2381 I was looking for exactly that when I found my electric and I guarantee I would've had to finance the gas guzzler. We can't all just throw around enough money to buy a car that can actually fit our needs. The money I had on hand could only buy another old gas guzzler.
The Escalade and the Y aren't in the same class. I would compare the Escalade to the X. The X has air ride suspension and is probably one of the smoothest/most comfortable vehicles I've ever driven

Also, you are supposed to go down to 20% to maximize charge rate (might not matter if you charge occasionally at home). Batteries will degrade either way so going to 100% isn't going to make much of a difference on a battery this large over 8+ years
How much it cost you to charge the car at home? (if you compare your electric bill before and after, for a month)
I think it's 10-12 cents per kWh where I live. Around $5-$7 per week to charge it based on the driving I do. I plug in daily
Extremly well put together video. You deserve more subs and views :)
Thank you, it means a lot to me. Glad you enjoyed it!
You're right and I just saw this video for the first time and I automatically subscribe so that's one more LOL
Great video. I’m getting my Model Y AWD LR delivered on May 17 and I’m excited to pick it up. The first thing I’m doing is getting ppf and ceramic coat straight from the dealership. I’m not sure what order you mentioned but the best thing to do is get the ppf first and then ceramic coat it.
Sir got You $$.Please any advice on career path to cool success 🤨
Where are you driving?? Looks so nice
The model Y looks perfect 😍 absolutely love it !
Thank you!
Glad I waited to buy a Tesla. Tesla price are diving especially on used Tesla Y’s! Just bought a perfect Model Y performance with 21k miles for $46k
Is that advertised monthly payment accurate?
At 3:40 , driving 70 or 80 mph plus a cold winter day will lose *MORE* than 20% range, without a doubt. A Tesla owner in Idaho made a TH-cam video, he talked extensively about this.
He had to have his car *towed* *home* because the range was much less than expected.
I literally bought this a couple weeks ago and it arrived today
Congratulations! Is it what you thought it would be?
@@HMCuber I’m having trouble with regenerative braking and sometimes I forget how a keycard unlocks the door and turns on the motor. All the controls are different. I love the quiet drive though. Motor is extremely quiet and maintenance is low. Just got a supercharger installed too.
@@jayasmrmore3687 Thats sounds sweet. I definitely wanna purchase one when I get older. Hopefully by then competition increases, prices drop, or there they are still around 🙏
Good video, Matt. None of your points were deal breakers for me. I’m in Australia, where the Model Y is not yet available but, as soon as it is, I’ll be ordering one. Just some constructive feedback… it’s not necessary to talk so fast with your commentary. I actually found it irritating trying to keep up with and absorb what you were saying. Good luck with your channel.
Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it 👍
@@MattDanadel thank you for this review .. could you please active the cc in your vides this option allow write your speek so if you speek to fast i can read the suptitle ..
@@MattDanadel I actually enjoyed how fast you talked. Most videos are 5 minutes of info packed into a 12 min video.
I listened at 1.5 speed and it was even better. In your case try listening at 0.75 speed rate.

Does your electric bill go up a lot charging it at home?
Yeah. But it’s less than paying for gas. Also depends on where you live and how much the electricity rates are
Where is this video taken? View outside is so beautiful
This is an excellent review. Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you! Glad you liked this video
I jus got mine today and so far I’m loving it 🥰 the only thing I guess I dislike is some of the interior feels pretty cheap other then that I don’t have any problems the screen is amazing oh and the top roof when it’s really sunny gets annoying that’s my only complains other then that I love it! 9/10!
Real and honest warnings. Great job!
Thank you
How is the 3rd row vented ? Is it hot to sit in the third row ?
I'm not sure. I didn't option that
Great video. Talk to us about applying the protective film to the car? Do you recommend us doing it or going to a professional. Thanks.
If you're down to do a little bit of DIY and save some money, probably order it yourself. If you don't mind spending the extra money and having a professional do it, then do that. I will make a video sometime in the future on how to apply the PPF to the front bumper and hood on a Model Y
@@MattDanadel that would be greatly appreciated. I can’t wait to see it.
How about insurance cost for Teslas?
It is higher than a regular ICE car. And so is registration, in Oregon, at least.
Mine will be less than what I currently pay for my 2022 Audi Q5. I think it's $160 a year cheaper.
Tesla ended referral bonuses for everything except the solar roof.
I am from India and I am eagarly waiting for this cars ....
The long wait is the hardest part
Endia doesn't even have toilets. Electric vehicles aren't coming until 2120 for endia lol
Do you have issues with “phantom breaking”?
Haven’t had any yet
Please what is the actual range you get on a full charge? I've seen videos stating 200miles only in very cold or hot weather.
IMHO, I have had my Model 3 for 3+ years (single motor long range) drive mostly highway, and get about 80% of mileage that the car estimates, UNLESS I happen to drive the speed limit and keep conservative on the acceleration - both hard to do in CA. It shows 310 when fully charges but goes down very rapidly at first. Never have taken it down to minimum charge (leaving 15%). DON"T EVER let it run out. (also true with ICE cars) Hope that helps.
did you do ppf first on hood and then ceramic coating on it?
Yes
Does the Model Y come w/ mud flaps installed?
No
So if you're using nav - you can't have the cameras up, therefore you're SOL when you need to look behind you for lane changes?
When you have the cameras up, the navigation shows you the next turn/road right below the speed. I don't look behind myself bc it also has the cars in your vicinity in the bottom left
I agree that using backup camera on touchscreen is a great solution for added visibility and often underutilized.
I feel like it’s a great solution, but I should feel more confident with the built in blind spot detection. That’s my only sour spot with my model Y.
In 2022 blind spot is shown on the screen now. Also,per Tesla you can charge up to 90% . Tesla specific expenses applies to any car, not specific to Tesla. Enjoy the Tesla.
Thanks Matt! I have ordered my 2022 Model Y. At first it said Feb 22 delivery, now it’s saying Dec 27 to 31. How reliable was you delivery timing? I have an RV and have a tow car. I had the front area covered with the plastic protection, but didn’t think about that for the Y. I ordered mud flaps, some trays and a “charger” which I have received. I’m in California and a cold day is in the 50’s. Usually the 60’s and 70’s are common year round. I had a Chevy Volt for about five years and it took a big hit on cold days. Your peddles look like the type in the performance model.
The delivery time frame is accurate. When I got mine, it had a small window of days to choose from. I got my performance pedals from Amazon: amzn.to/3gZrvrM

@@nanadee5196 I don’t know if my method was the best. I worked my way through college. Got a job in accounting. Passed the CPA exam. After a few years got a job that I stayed in for 39 years. Saved money. Then bought the Tesla.
There probably are better ways.
Good luck.

Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Can you tell sth about the standard Speaker sysmtem?
I enjoy my Tesla by not having to go to the dealer for all kinds of crap and maintenance. I will never go back to a gas car unless I hit the lottery : )
Good video. If I purchased one I would set it up the same as you
Great video, but prices have gone WAY down.
Too many owners believe that most people live in single family homes rather than multi-family units; which at this point doesn't provide ways to charge overnight or daily or at all, let alone connect to internet from parking areas.
I know. There would be no where for me to charge if I bought one. My apartment doesn't have EV charging.
@@SgtBoudreau Have you asked about installing a charger? If you pay to have it installed they may be willing...If there are washer and dryers in the basement, there is enough power, although there may be an issue as to who pays for the electric.
@@jimhutton2390 There are rebates through the electric company in my state for multi-family installation costs.
In general, too much of hedge fund managers are trying to short Tesla by moderating content. Nothing is deal breaker and it’s hard to accept product like Tesla as best in the class like Apple. All noise and it takes decades for other vendors to catch up with Tesla. Happy buying Tesla.
Tesla is more expensive to "fuel" than gas vehicles. 300+miles for range but when you use a/c during hot weather and other factors. I filled up at 20% before 120 miles. If u filled at a super charger station it'll be $22 from 20 to 90%.
Thank you, useful information
Where is the links for accessories you referred to ?
Did you find out?
Just updated the links! It's in the description now 👍
Do you cancel oder if you knew those things?
No
Good work and good info. Thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍
Hi folks, there's more to i stalling a home EV charging unit than just running the wiring. Quite a lot of circuit and user protection circuitry may also be required. Use a reputable electrician who knows who is certified to do these installations.
Yes
Your tires life will be supper short. This will be the most expensive maintenance for this car. My first set of tire gone within 20,000 miles while my accord and MB lasted 50,000 miles for new set of tires.
Why would you cover the license plate? Think!! The plate on the car so it can be driven on the road and covering it serves what purpose?
No idea. I just see other people blur it out on TH-cam
@@MattDanadel There in lies your problem....Forget what other people do and do what suits you.....Oh and nice video I would love to have a Tesla but for me the most I can hope for in my price range is going to be a hybrid vehicle.....Probably a Rav4.
4:32, the kit you linked has horrible reviews, is it just that the people didn't know how to install it correctly?
People just don't know how lol
@@MattDanadel thanks 🙌. I've watched some good videos of pros and am pretty patient, I'm going to give it a shot.
My god I'm so happy we have three-phase 400V here 😁
As I scroll through the various articles from people who have purchased a Tesla I'm finding a very high level of buyer's remorse. As a teenager I got suckered into one of those carnival exotic dancer shows where you were sold a box containing three candies and a promise of a super prize which was equivalent to a Cracker Jack toy with the con that you would be too embarrassed to speak up about how you got taken. Same thing with the people who bought a Tesla. After listing all the issues with their car, buyers keep saying how great the car is. Nobody wants to look like a fool.
I don't have buyer's remorse. Very few people have it when they buy a Tesla. Give it a test drive
That $1200 destination charge is something that is standard for all and not exclusive to Tesla. Otherwise, great video.
Does the Nema 10-30 also work?
Yes, it can. Tesla sells an adapter that will allow you to use the charger included with the car with a Nema 10-30 outlet.
Color is subjective but white really makes this car sexy, like it was designed in Italy.
I should’ve bought a M3LR but I still love my Tesla. Maybe next time.
That is my future car, It just need to arrive here in the Philippines
Nearer there with Giga Shanghai!
70% is even better if that fits your range requirements.
i was debating myself about Tesla and Rav4 hybrid. It is hard but in long run i think tesla will shrink and remain the sport high end car. can you image that you thousands of cars waiting to charge card daily? how to handle this problem?
You don't need to use the superchargers unless you're on a roadtrip or really need it. You charge your Tesla at home every day when you get home from school or work and it's topped off for the next day
@@MattDanadel i went to show room to talk to teala. The out to door price for performance model y is 74k (lower model does save much). It is hard decision because i could buy toyota for less and use that extra money for gas years to come. Plus insurance for tesla is high too. It is a really hard choice for me
I wouldn't compare a Toyota to Tesla. Maybe a similar car both performance wise and price wise to the Tesla instead. But yeah, Toyota's are less expensive
@@didequen3339 Good points. You might want to consider future depreciation on your Rav4 Hybrid (we have a 2016 model, which we love) as the demand for EVs in general increases while the demand for ICE vehicles (hybrids are essentially ICE vehicles) shrinks. Just a thought. Best wishes on whichever way you decide to proceed. Cheers.
Nice video
Thanks
how did you not know about real life range before buying?
Does any other of you Tesla Model Y owners suffer from the vibrations of the car in bumpy roads. It's killing me. I can feel even super slight bumps on the road. I reduced the tire pressure to 38 PSI to have a softer ride, but it didn't make any change. Is there something wrong with my car? or somebody else has the same issue?
Great work with your analysis, production and narration
Thank you!
Oh really? Being a non-native English speaker I think the narration was unclear and too fast, making it difficult to understand.
@@Vinterfrid it was fine for me, retired American Journalism Professor here
Is it true the Model Y suspension is awful and it’s about as comfortable as a truck ?
I don't agree with the people that say that. The Model Y suspension is great, in my opinion. Both comfortable and sporty. The seats are a dream. Feel like you're sitting on clouds
nope.
Thanks for your video but come on, the visualisation of the cars around you is no replacement for a proper blind spot monitor. The LAST thing you want to do when considering an overtake is to look at and interact with a computer screen to see what’s around you. And the latest attempt at a blind spot monitor is no better. It only displays when you start indicating and in the UK it’s useless as it’s obscured by your arms on the wheel.
My dream car, but way too expensive here in Spain, O=I could buy an apartment and still have change....lol
where in Spain?
Prices went down
The paint protector is not needed. That’s a joke. The charging at night using a standard outlet is more than fine unless you’re driving more than 30-40 miles a day.
Needing paint protection on a brand new car is ridiculous. But guess u need it because the paint on Tesla is known to chip easily.
Nah it's not that the paint chips easily. It's because there is no grille in the front and there is more paint surface area. You just would see the chips from normal wear and tear more
You know when you put it in autopilot and a message on the screen says, please keep your hands on the wheel, yeah, that one…maybe listen to it? The more people that pretend it’s hands free the more likely it is to be slowed or cancelled by those wishing tesla would go away.
Hey poster of this video, are you going to comment on this? Thanks
I agree, I found this childish behaviour irresponsible. It is definitely sending the wrong information to any viewers, and you did it to impress. You failed.
LFP battery "likes to be at 100%" (Elon Musk).... LFP coming to many US cars.
If you know you're going to need it, plan to reach 100% just before you leave..... No problem.
Heat pump should guard against the majority of "winter range loss". Much more efficient than resistive heating, using waste heat from the Motors/ battery.
Can you "dumb" this comment down for me? I expect my Model Y performance to arrive this month, I live in Denver where it is currently -5 degrees and this sounds important.
Love my model Y, not to trill with the ghost breaking though.
oh man so can you turn that off? how often does it happen?
Do you really save money on this EV car or just a good sort of story out there? Positive and Negative or is as perfect as a robotics.
Nice
👍🏽😎thanks for the vid👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for watching!
Do you wish you had purchased the Performance model?
It's a mixed feeling. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. For me, the cons outweighed the pros. The thinner tires larger rim have a higher probability of getting damaged and have a somewhat rougher ride. And I think they only come with summer tires. Then again, the insane performance is amazing. For me, I couldn't justify the extra price at the time I was purchasing it. Maybe in the future!
I have the Performance Model 3 because the crazy lease deal I got made it cheaper per month than the LR 🤯
In the UK the LR has a current list price of £47k and the Performance is £60k. There's no way it's worth that. Also the LR with smaller wheels and standard suspension is more comfortable and has a longer range. The Performance performance is hilarious/astonishing, but it's of no real use day to day. The LR performance is plenty and the other advantages outweigh the increased performance. I'd be tempted to pay the £1200 to increase the acceleration which is an option to buy through the touchscreen at any time.
@@johnmckay1423 there is an option to pay to unlock the performance that's already in your car just sitting there? wtf?
@@zioxei In the long range model there is. You can try it and if you don't like it you have a certain amount of time to get a refund.
I love my Model Y
If you don’t mind me asking, how’s the reliability? How long have you had the car for?
What about insuring the Tesla? Was it a big jump in insurance payments?
Yes about $400+ /year difference from my 2020 4 Runner.
My insurance increased a few hundred dollars (can't remember the exact amount). Still trying to understand the reason, but the crazy stories in the news of Tesla drivers watching movies on Autopilot and crashing may have something to do with it.
Nice Video keep it up 👍🏼
Thank you! Stay tuned for more videos coming soon
Excellent video, very well presented, no bull or hype. Useful tips thank you 😊
Thank you 👍
You could be regretting buying a GM EV, enjoy your Tesla!
True!
How nescessary is paint protection? Is the paint really that sensitive?
Only seems senstitve since there is no grill and there is more surface area for paint. Other than that, the paint is very good in my opinion
The model y should have rear cross-traffic alert.
The Tesla expenses are most of why I haven't jumped to being a Tesla owner. I have to keep that $1,200 fee in mind whenever I look at the pricing (it can get better or worse with used ones). Another reason is the monthly payments on a new 2022 Tesla are out of my price range by a couple hundred (though if desperate I could probably find a second job). Also, I could finance a used one but I feel like I'd regret not getting the color (blue) I want, not getting the range/AWD I want, or miss out on modern hardware features (like heated wheel).
Right now, I have a 2015 Nissan Leaf S and that has 82ish (depending on weather) claimed range which is realistically like 60 miles, so I'm sure literally any Tesla would feel nice for range. I'm just worried I cave to spend my entire spare income on a Tesla and realize I would've really wanted that extra hundred miles range or whatever else. I don't have GPS; I have to use my phone or (likely) buy a Garmin to slap on the windshield. I mainly just commute to work a few miles, so I'll just have to enjoy my Leaf however long I can make it last--and hopefully save up enough to finance a Tesla and maybe pick up a 2021 used Model 3 (or whatever seems best to me for hardware in 5-10 years).
Side note, I love the comprehensive list of accessories you recommend in the description. Great video overall. 👍
if you have to finance it, then its out of your price range
@@zackjames2381 By your logic, I should've stuck with my 15 MPG gas guzzler instead of financing my used Nissan Leaf for $200/mo, which was life changing.
@@kyleb8117 or jusr get a cheaper car that doesn't consume as much gas... the issue here it seems is that the want outweighed the need.
@@zackjames2381 I was looking for exactly that when I found my electric and I guarantee I would've had to finance the gas guzzler. We can't all just throw around enough money to buy a car that can actually fit our needs. The money I had on hand could only buy another old gas guzzler.
@@kyleb8117i agree with you on the last part, its true things are extremely expensive.
Driving with no hands on the steering wheel?
Autopilot
The main Problem from my view is the very hard ride. We moved from a Caddy to Tesla and other then the Caddy Escalde the Y rides very rough and hard.
The Escalade and the Y aren't in the same class. I would compare the Escalade to the X. The X has air ride suspension and is probably one of the smoothest/most comfortable vehicles I've ever driven
