CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the Tesla Model Y electric SUV. Tesla continues to dominate the electric car market! The Model Y is now the most popular electric vehicle in the US and its popularity continues to grow around the world. Let us know if you have any questions for us, leave them below, we’ll pick some of them to answer in our review. There are two Model Y models, the Long Range with 384 horsepower and 531 km/318 miles of EV range. It goes 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds/0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds. It comes with standard 19” wheels, optional 20” wheels, which our test model has and up to 7-passenger seating. The second option is the Performance model with 450 horsepower and 488 km/303 miles of EV range. It goes 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds/0-60 mph 3.5 seconds. It comes standard with 21” wheels with up to 5-passenger seating. This model has performance brakes, a lowered suspension and aluminum alloy pedals. With standard AWD, the Model Y has two independent electric motors that control torque to the front and rear wheels for better handling, traction and stability control. Tesla clearly has the charging infrastructure in place with 3,000+ Supercharger stations and 30,000+ Superchargers around the world with 6 new locations opening up every week. Tesla says you can recharge up to 261 km in 15 minutes at Supercharger locations. The Model Y can tow 3500 pounds and Tesla offers a warranty of 4 years or 80,000 km/50,000 miles. The battery and drive unit is 8 years or 192,000 km/120,000 miles. This Tesla provides a lot of versatility whether you go with the 5 or 7-seater model. The interior is clean, simple and clutter-free with a beautiful glass roof that creates an open cabin. You’ll notice there is no head-up display or gauge cluster keeping with the minimalistic design.
The technology is amazing, the touchscreen controls everything, there are no buttons or knobs to play with, but the good news is it’s intuitive to use. Not only is it fast but responsive and the graphics are clear. It comes with two wireless chargers that are quick, the fastest I’ve used in a vehicle. To initiate a voice command in the Model Y, hit the button to the right of the steering wheel to open the glove box, the tailgate, heat your seats or steering wheel. There’s also Netflix and TH-cam if you want to watch shows/Motormouth reviews while your vehicle is charging. The front seats are comfortable and supportive and the elevated seating position and low dash gives the driver a great view of the road ahead. The second row is spacious with a flat floor and each second row seat folds flat independently creating great storage space if you need to move larger items or even carry skis. We managed to fit a car seat in the middle seat without an issue. The 3rd row is tiny and best used in a pinch for small children. The Tesla Model Y has a small front trunk and a larger rear cargo area. There’s also additional storage underneath the cargo floor, my carry-on suitcase fit perfectly and gave me more room to store other items. Space management in the Model Y is excellent.

I feel Zack was holding back and clearly cut off at times. I want to see the Zack Unleashed version lol
Zak had way too much coffee before this video
Time to revisit the 2023 Model Y AND Long range, improved suspension, software now allows for regen level settings, and now a great price with the recent price reduction and now it qualifies for both Canadian Federal & provincial EV rebates makes it compelling buy, the test drive to see if it does truly have improved suspension.
I test drove the MY in the spring of 2023 and the suspension was very compliant with zero harshness. Felt great.
Taking delivery of a red/white MYP in just a few months!
I've been subscribed for a just over a year and have watched a bunch of your reviews as we were in the market for two new cars this year. I found the reviews to be super helpful. I will preface all of his by saying that I am not a "car guy". For me a car is a way to get from point A to point B. Up until 5 or so years ago buying a car was all about whether or not my 6'3" and 6'5" kids fit somewhat comfortably in the back seat. The missus wanted a small SUV and she test drove a bunch of them and based a good part on your review we went with an Audi Q3. She loves it. The only real requirement for my car was will my goalie equipment fit. I test drove most of your top 10 cars and a boatload of other cars. For shits and giggles I decided to test drive the Model Y and the Model 3. I was beyond pleasantly surprised at the drive and the technology. I don't by a car because it has a million little nobs and a dozen displays. I like simple. I also don't by a car because of the interior, I spend more time on my $5,000 couch. Nor do I consider how well the car performs on the track, because frankly the most challenging corner that I am going to take is the one coming into my driveway. At the end of the day I bought a Model 3. The Model Y was too big. My goalie equipment fits in the car. It's fun to drive. It has everything that I need plus more. And as I continued to watch the price of gas go up, I was happy to drive by the gas stations. Is it the best car out there. No. But you know what, it's fun to drive and it doesn't fart dinosaurs.
With the recent price drop, a lot more value now. I agree with you that the interior is lacking, but you know what, I had multiple different kids sit in the car, they don't care about anything other than the screen and the software. Tesla figured out what people interact with the most and really focus on those features and got rid of things people never use, such as retractable sun roof.
I know it has been a year since this video but I had to watch it again after experiencing the Model Y on a vacation to Arizona recently. I have to say that the car is amazing and I want one! When flying from NL to Arizona, it was pure comfort to sit in their seats! Best seats in a vehicle that I have experienced and I am a E-Class Mercedes owner. The tech, the acceleration, the charging network, all made for a fantastic driving vacation in Arizona and Nevada. Thank you Hertz for having the Model Y, I am hooked! Now if I can only get Tesla to set up shop in Newfoundland.... :)
can we revisit this now that that in BC its 70k - 9k in incentives?
Classic car that many People in Vancouver own
Kudos to Zach for talking sense. Awesome review.
Great vid! Wifey & I are comparing the ID4 & Model Y. Its a good time for Tesla to consider a slight exterior design refresh to keep things fresh 😬
i have owned my tesla model 3 for over 2 years and love it. it is the best car i ever owned. When the gas prices keep rising i just smile. My daughter owns a Tesla too.
Love Andrea! Really enjoyed all your videos.
So fun watching your guys you're both hilarious love watching you both. Keep up the fun work
Well done guys, have been waiting for this review for some time.
Model 3 LR in red delivered in November. I like the Polestar 2 but driving the Tesla is like driving the future. Simple, clean, easy to use, great handling and fast. No QA issues for me. Paint great, gaps are as good as my XC90.
I put the takeout (or grilled chicken from Costco! :o)) in the front trunk as well of our BMW i3. Love that little space!
For Canadian buyers, the prices went down and we can now get the 5k$ rebate from federal gvt on the LR.
100% with Andrea. One buys a Tesla not for luxury touches or features. One buys it for the total package. Tesla is about the big picture. We have two in our garage and there's no turning back.
Absolutely should have a heads up display for this price. And thanks to Rick and family for donating the Model Y for this review!
With your latest reviews on EVs, and your huge subscriber base it would be great to see a video on the charging infrastructures. Road-trip in a tesla, mache, ID4…
I thought I would give you guys a second look after commenting on your EV cars review. This review, in my opinion, is better than the overall EV review.
Tesla is the industry leader by far and should be acknowledged as such. If it were not for Tesla we would all still be shaking in our boots every time we have to gas up. (Gas $$$$ has gone up again). Is Tesla 100%, no but well on their way. Just a note about the regenerative breaking thing you mentioned. You can adjust that setting and save that setting to your profile. Actually you can create a “driving in snow” setting for those snowy days. This moves the drive mode to chill and reduces the regen breaking settings. It works.
There is a lot to know about this car and it doesn’t help when it gets the software updates every few months, changing the options.
So thank for your review.
PS. I love my model Y 2021 November 6 Victoria Bc. No fit and finish issues at all and compared to my corvette, yes it’s quicker off the line as well as offering a smoother ride.😉
Great review you two. I have been waiting for Zack to drive a Tesla for a long time to see his opinion as he has been asked lots during the live shows. Wish I could afford a Tesla but my mouth dropped open a bit when you mentioned the price. WOW! And price will only go up with demand at all time high.
Great Review! Your thoughts are very in line with mine. I got the car not as a luxury item but as an appliance, and it is excellent at that. Will keep you updated on my experience throughout my first canadian winter with it.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the review. Yes would love to hear what your range is in the winter.
For me you hit the comment out of the park. This is exactly why I'm intrigued with this vehicle.
The problem is you're paying the luxury price for this appliance. It just doesn't make much sense. If you wanted an applicable, you should have bought a RAV4 and saved yourself $60k.
Test drove one recently. Negatives: (1) suspension (like driving Flintstone wheels); (2) rear view visibility is horrible (sliver of a back window and side mirrors too small); (3) price ($70k US); (4) it's all EV (would prefer a hybrid); (5) color choices; (6) size (not really enough space for an "SUV". Positives: (1) the control center (especially the nav aid, air conditioning controls, music options, apps); (2) center console (charging base for 2 iPhones (Yes!)); (3) handling (fast); (4) ecosystem (yes, it is the iPhone of cars); (5) range (300+); (6) ubiquitous charging stations.
Love the back seat test! :)
Subscribed 👍 very informative video and precise.
Welcome aboard!
That was one of the best reviews of the Model Y to date, it was very complete. Your commentary about the shoddy interior for the money, is spot on, how could you leave a modern German car interior for such a plastic-fantastic experience? Yet the technology almost wins me over, as an Apple guy, I totally want to drink the Tesla Kool Aide, but not just yet.. still watching. Loving my W212.
Thank you so much, we appreciate the kind words, glad you enjoyed it. - Andrea
Reviewing comments is something that no other channel's are doing, great touch
Great vid!
Certainly doesn't look like an $86k vehicle...
It isn’t. These “reviewers” didn’t bother to check. It is nowhere near $86K. They should be embarassed.
It’s $65k Canadian now
Currently, the Model Y Long Range is down to $39K (USD).
@@JamesBond-qv2ht2 years ago in CAD it was 86k
Kuddos to you guys. I always love your reviews. Just an fyi that it’s just this year that the midnight silver metallic came standard wherein you don’t have to pay extra.
More power to your program
Three weeks ago, I bought a 2024 Model Y Long Range AWD in red with white interior. Love to drive it, but EPA estimated range is not achievable, even with gentle driving. I bought mine with 19" wheels. In the city and for 200-ish mile trips, I love to drive the Tesla. For anything longer, I drive my 2023 Nissan Rogue AWD. Tesla is a fun and fast go-kart.
I love your unbiased review. I find it to be very informative, and with a few laughs along the way. I know you meant it, Zack with the "cheapo" remarks.😂 It's so true what you've said, I can't justify an 80K vehicle with a 35K body.
Good review/impressions. I’m waiting for the Lexus EV’s to arrive and see how they compare
I liked your pros and cons comments. We took delivery about a month ago (white on white). I have to agree on your interior evaluation. It is going to be amazing on what EVs will look like in three to five years, new battery chemistry, better range, shorter charging time and much better competition.
I live in Toronto and I don’t see nearly as many Tesla’s as Vancouver. That red one looks so good! Great review!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
i own a 15 diesel mercedes ML. service A 800 bucks.
service B, 2 grands.
just replaced a stupid intake sensor for 2300 dollars.
so i decided to go with the Tesla. yes, the payments r almost same as a bmw or mercedes. but after deduct at least 200/m of fuel cost, plus no more dealership rip off bs. i feel i made the right choice.
Wow good to know. I wont buy a mercedes then
100% agree coming from BMW X3 as well sand payments when you include gas payments. Miss the ambient lights and better wipers but that’s it will never go back to BMW unless they get serious about EVs and charging.
Both of you have done a very good review of Tesla 3/Y and also represent my feeling about my Tesla Model 3. However, I'm on Andrea side I'm tech person :-)
Love the video, as per usual. Especially the humour about the “vegan” seats. My thoughts, exactly. The Q and A part is really good compared to what a lot of other TH-camrs do. Keep it up guys.
Thank you so much, we appreciate it. There are always such great questions from Instagram, everyone is so engaged. I think it makes the review a lot of the times.
Can you eat the seats with ranch dressing?
Be very interested to see you do a Fisker Ocean review.
Bring the live show back up again! I liked watching it.
It will be back after the holidays. Zack is taking a break.
In my U.S. Model Y Performance , under Driving , there are three settings for regenerative braking... Creep, Roll and Hold.
I'd be surprised if in Canada it doesn't offer these settings, but it could be. Did you look under the Driving tab?
FYI. There are 3 levels of regenerative braking, from very little to strong. You guys did a great job. I have 2 model Y’s, a long range and later the performance and the performance is the most exciting car that I have driven. I have driven it throughout the western United States without fear. You can be traveling around 80 to 90 miles per hour without feeling a thing. An important part you left out is the hospital grade bio grade Hepafiltration system and that the insurance companies rate the Teslas as the safest cars on the road. It was cheaper for me to insure my model y performance than my old 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Keep up your great work
Regen has been removed
Regen is automated and varies automatically now. It is still working, just not user selectable. It works rather well and you don’t think about it.
@@nicholasthon973 So does the current Model Y have 1-pedal driving still?
@@Investor9872 oh yeah… it’s pretty aggressive too. Takes some definite getting used to. Just drove my father in laws brand new model Y.
@@EatMyPropwash Cool. FYI. All EV's 1-pedal regen (being able to full stop) are pretty aggressive and takes a few hours/days to get used to.
I always take what consumer reports says or even "reports" from consumer surveys with cars, with a grain of salt..... most people don't know that the top contributors to them are mainstream automakers.....anyone can donate to them not just through subscriptions.....they can and are being "bought" so to speak.....are their good people that work there for the right reasons and try to be non biased....yes. but not all the big wigs are. I used to watch their TH-cam channel for reviews and especially there weekly "show" and it just seemed like every time Tesla came up in convo they would just trash them more and more. No car co is perfect and frankly for them to be as good if not better in quality overall as some mainstream automakers in just a decade.....shows how good they really are. Frankly I'm excited to see where they'll be in another ten yrs. Great review as always !
Would you yourselves choose a model Y over something like the BMW X3 M40i? Similar pricing for the Model Y performance. Concerned that buying an expensive ICE might not be great for long term residual value.
Do they still offer that where the seat goes back and tilts?
Nice video. Just ordered my Model Y 2 wks ago. Have to wait till July to get it. Got the white with white interior with 20 inch wheels.
FYI, if you add almost any option, it'll push your delivery date up. I ordered the Model Y Performance, Blue with White interior, Nov. 4, and received delivery the day after Christmas, Dec. 26.
Love the car! It's really amazing, and the range is outstanding!
@@BuckFush08 I’ll just wait. No rush for me. Plus it might have the upgrade in the summer when I get it
How will cold weather and snow or ice influence range?
I think you can change the regen brake now love your vids
I am a new follower. I really enjoyed your review. One comment, no one who spends that much on a car is cheap (frugal?). Here is how I feel about Tesla. I ordered a Model Y a few months ago and it is due in a few weeks. The last car I purchased that I was actually excited about was a 2 seat convertible sports car I bought in 1974. I am a motorcyclist and in my mind cars generally boring and slow. These things are very quick, some are even into motorcycle performance realm. Yes there is a Tesla cult and I get it. I feel like I have joined the Tesla revolution. I do feel the quality is a bit sloppy, especially compared to some of the Japanese cars. However, I have owned Japanese, German (including a couple of BMWs), and British cars over the years. Both the British and German cars require a bit of commitment because in my experience they simply are not up to the level of reliability and durability of their Japanese competitors. However the Japanese (and American) cars in my opinion are boring, kind of like refrigerators. Tesla has brought to me a new level of excitement I have not had about cars in years and I am willing to put up with its shortcomings.
What do you think of the Tesla base model and the prius 2023 ,what is the best?
Is it weird that I do the hand wiggle or thumbs up with Zack when he’s testing out the space in the second rows of the cars?😂
Classic image at 0:11. A grinning Andrea looking manic as she steps on it while Zack is holding on for dear life. As he usually does.
Great review Andrea/Zack.
Thank you very much, glad you liked it.
Great review!! I can’t wait to get my new Tesla!! 👌🏻
Definitely not in my budget, you’re right Andrea. Great review.
Great 👍 review
I would like to see an analysis of traveling to National Parks and dealing with the charging systems available for the Model Y. If your back country camping for a week or 2 and have to park the Y in the sun or in the cold how long can it sit there and still be able to make it to a charger.
Congratulations on the accurate and honest review. Hard to do when someone donates their vehicle for the review.
Thanks! 👍
Excellent review 🙌🙌🚘 I would love that you guys do a review on Tesla Model 3 and talk about the awesome features that the car has such as the sentry mode ( live camaras) that is very useful in the event that you have an accident to claim for your car insurance, and also the very low cost maintenance.
We are hoping to get a Model 3 in the New Year.
super underrated channel. I'm surprised there are not more subs! So much content every week, honest and relatable criticisms, industry discussions...perhaps some of the most informative reviews for car purchasing on youtube. I subscribe to other channels with many more subs, but those are more entertaining than anything.
On the Tesla Model Y, it has a different definition of luxury. It's not about reliability, fit and finish or quality of materials, it's about freedom from the pump, outrageous speed for the dollar and a digital experience on par with the latest from Apple/Google/Microsoft. Everyone else feels like a traditional car with software Frankenstein-ed on.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words, really glad you are enjoying the content we are putting out.
Well thats a definition of high tech sports car, not a luxury car
Is phantom braking still a problem?
ver well spoken and thoughtful
By far the best format for driving impressions and overall response for day to day drivers. No tesla for me i''l take an ioniq 5 rear drive base, more than enough car for the masses. Your reviews are fun to watch and informative. Cheers.
Nice review. Trimmings and creases on the outside do age quickly and I think that is why Tesla keep it to subtle changes.
I have always enjoyed the Motormouth reviews beginning many years ago on TV. This review emphasizes the age difference between Zack and Andrea. Her appreciation for the simplicity of operating the Tesla indicates a good 20 to 25 year age gap. LOL. Keep up the good work.
Hardly
I own a 2020 Y performance + with enhanced autopilot and 20,000Kms. Suspension is the main issue mainly in the back. The paint and finish is defective but no rattles so far. That being said, the super charger network is second to none and the service is premium with service rangers house calling for minor fixes. The interior space is great and the leader in its category. Frunk, Trunk and under trunk are unique. The price is high, mostly for the performance + but the 100 kms in 3.7 secs. Is awesome. Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback
SHEESH! MODEL Y in white and white is EPIC AF! THE MODEL Y PERFORMANCE IS A BEAST! TESLA is leading the way!
I thought the questions were excellent and your answers very honest.
Thank you very much, I thought the questions were excellent as well.
I see you wore your SMP for this video. So I put mine on to watch it. Tesla can kick rocks though. Love from Toronto
If I'm dropping that kind of coin on a car, it cannot be ugly and cheap on the interior, nor can it be of suspect quality. I AM looking forward the competition catching up in the next 3-5 years!
Tesla will make self driving feature free. They wont have any competition
you are hardworking couple
If you buy the aftermarket SEXY buttons, you can change the level of regen as well as many other options that you might want to activate with actual tactile buttons
I got a model Y back in October. It's a great car. Of course, there are issues and like you mentioned - it is very much in the luxury price point and some stuff like air suspension should be there or as an option. However, I wanted an EV for my mid-life crisis car (just an excuse) - and nothing else is nearly as *fun* as a Tesla. Also as a software engineer, I'm all in on the tech. In fact, at work, when I told someone I was considering buying a new car - they simply asked which Tesla I was planning to buy - and I had never mentioned an interest in Tesla before. Yeah, I guess my co-workers know me well. Looking the other charging networks make is clear that Tesla is the best option for anyone considering road trips with an EV. Other networks are questionable but the Supercharger network is very solid. I would like to see mass adoption of EVs - I think the car tech is ready but the infrastructure is still lacking - making EVs impractical for many single-car families.
I’ve done all the research too and am in the process of buying a Tesla for all the same reasons
I just took delivery of a 2023 Model Y white with white interior and hitch, I could not believe the delivery experience, stellar second to none, 150% better than the 2023 Ioniq 5 I just got rid of. The ride not quite as smooth as the Ioniq 5, the noise is well attenuated on rough roads, except for expansion joints - we opted for the 19" base wheels and tires for efficiency and better ride (I may upgrade the shocks to adaptive ones later on). The infotainment is just 1000% over the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and now I can road trip with confidence as the Canadian Government has no mandates to insure access to recharging on any major routes inparticular the Trans-Canada Highway which we will be heading to Pembroke Ontario during the summer. Sorry Petro Canada your electric Highway is terrible at the moment for CCS charging, you admited your reliability sucks and I for one did not want to be left stranded! Do not take me wrong we have done over 45,000KM long distance road trip in our 2020 Kia Soul EV, but in the last couple of years the CCS chargers are dying a slow death and finding populated functioning CCS chargers that work is getting hard to find.
Thx Rick.
love you guys, you got lucky with Andrea :) I'm not in the market for a new car, but sometime down the road I would love a Rivian.
I was thinking the same thing…… it’s not easy to find a girl who is elegant, happy and positive. ( many of them are either slightly nuts or tend to overeating/over drinking)
Some people get bent about the screen and no knobs or switches. All Tesla come with voice control by pressing and holding the right steering wheel button down. There over 100 voice commands, ex. Turn AC to 18 degrees...and it does it, two hands remain on the steering wheel, its safer and why do we need switches...
have a friend with a white..by choice Model S...and he loves it...looks nice and works great..as it should for 120k..but I am not sold on these..the technology is great Andrea..but for the $$ am sure others will start to catch up..and there is just something about the looks of this...not my cup of tea...love the review..and Merry Christmas to you and your family,all the best
The Base Model Y is now (April 2023) $60,000 CAD and now qualifies for Govt $5,000 rebate. A little bit more incentive for those not wanting to buy at it the previous $70K price tag.
We are awaiting 2 model y s to arrive here in the U.K. a long range for my daughter in law in February and a performance for my self July . Ours are coming from Shanghai. I’m hearing their finish, in fit and paint is way better than the US factory. With a few upgrades that have yet to appear on US y s . So we have had to wait longer but are getting a better version for it .
The Berlin giga is starting production now 👍
I appreciate all the tech that goes into this car, even though a lot is gimmicky, but I really don’t like the looks of it on the interior and the exterior. For the premium market they are going for I’d rather wait for and electric X3 style cuv. In reality though we will be looking at the i3 in the next 2 years to replace our Leaf and keep the gasser for towing our trailer for a bit longer. My 2c
“Honda CRV grade materials” nailed it. Thats the feeling I got when i drove in my friend’s car… But the screen, Tesla logo, and screen distract from that, but it just suxs that it has a plastic feel. The new gen of drivers dont care. So Tesla will continue to do there thing in the market no doubt
crazy money!!!! cannot afford :(
Love the review! Was looking forward to Zack’s honest uncut opinion lol.
I was interested earlier in the year to order a Standard Range RWD model Y because for $42k it was a good deal with 260 miles of range and the same features on the standard range model 3.
After a couple of months on the market they got rid of it. And that’s my main problem with Tesla. Their main focus is deliver, deliver, deliver, and screw the less optioned, smaller models that would probably appeal more to people for their lower price, tax credit or not. But, they have to make money. Sadly, they did not get mine.
The Model Y had gone through 8 price increases this year, and now they are squarely in luxury car territory. Most Tesla owners don’t give two craps that the interior is the quality of a CR-V, or that the paint is thin, or the QC is sorely lacking, they’ll justify it all to say their car is the greatest ever. And if Tesla keeps attracting customers with that mindset, all those issues will never improve, or until the competition catches up.
Give them some slack. We’re in the midst of a once every 50 years supply chain glut and massive inflation. Why sell the cheaper versions when you can’t keep up with demand with the expensive ones?
Sounds like someone missed out and pissed :)
We recently picked up a 2022 model and it's in perfect condition. No paint issue, no panel gap whatsoever. It's a super fun car to drive.
What will Tesla do without your money?!? I mean, they only double sales yearly after all… seriously. Sounds like sour grapes. Our 9 year old Model S is the beta car we’ve ever owned.
Great vid. I was wondering when you are going to review a Tesla. Finally!!! Totally agree with Andrea. it's about the technology, range and the less crap about service cost, etc... If this car has a Porsche or Merc model S interior quality, it would then cost over 10k then the price is no longer justifiable. We have a Model 3 and the only thing we dislike about it is the windshield wipers sensitivity when it's raining at night. Regular Rain sensors are much better than the camera sensor in the model 3. Incan live with this flaw because everything else and we still have the option to put the wipers in manual mode.
So how does Hyundai have a far better interior and still cost $15k-$20k less even before tax credits?
@@OlJackBurton because people don’t want to be the Guinea pigs to test Hyundai’s first attempts at an electric car. So, they charge less and most brands are losing money per sale.
I feel Zach held back a lot just so the Tesla cultists wouldn't harass him lol. It's a great car, just 20k too expensive in my opinion.
Or maybe Tesla owners wouldn't let him use their cars for reviews again...
3:48 - more control...hmmm.. I wonder what exactly that means. With one pedal driving you have the ability to accelerate and decelerate faster than with a two pedal setup. You can do the same work with less time. Isn't that more / better?
About time you reviewed a Tesla
Finally got one!
Between IONIQ 5 and Model Y, which would you choose? Will there be a head to head comparison video coming up???
Tuesday
Ioniq 5 costs tens of thousands less, is built better, better interior, has better charging, same range and same features. Model Y is slightly faster and sportier.
Rivals are catching up
Saw three Model Ys and one Model 3 at the mall yesterday, all white.
Andrea speaks the truth: when she spoke of value for the average buyer. The difference was well explained. Nice car but very pricey. You guys are the best.
Its literally the world's best sold vehicle in 2023, not just EV.. so those comments didn't age well.
Hi guys, love your shows. I will never be able to afford a Tesla Y. For Father’s Day 2021 my kids rented a Tesla model 3 for 2 days and loved it. I feel as if Tesla is the standard and only choice.
This week I have seen many videos regarding the new Kia ev6, can you compare the Kia and the Hyundai ionic 5?
I value your opinions. Thanks.
Thank you, so glad you are enjoying the show, thanks for the kind words. What a nice gift for Father's Day, sounds like you had fun. We haven't had the opportunity to drive the Kia EV6 yet but when it's available we will. We will have a comparison this Tuesday between the Model Y and the IONIQ 5, we'll go through all the EV's we've driven so far and compare them. Stay tuned!
@@andreaspencer9813 thanks Andrea
Great video except, you look at the camera one too many times while driving. Pay attention to the road pls lol
What happened to nightlife? Loved that segment
I just picked up a 2023 MY 7 seater this week. Mine came with many plastic trim parts converted to soft touch padded "leather". Feels a lot more like a BMW interior now.
How come there was no mention about Autopilot and how that compares against other cars?
Tesla makes a great electric car, but they all look the same to me. They need to come up with some new styles to ultimately maximize market share as the competition increases.
I also want a car with a few knobs and buttons for key features (heating, radio) not a touch screen.
They look like the Budweiser dog on the front end. Blunt-ugly.
No complaints about having 'no physical buttons'. It seems Tesla always gets a pass on that for some reason.
@@jillthompson6110 tesla gets a pass on this a lot of times due their superior software and tech that kind of puts other companies to shame. People don't seem to mind the giant central infotainment screen when that is actually the strong point of the vehicle. (Myself included)
My wife is an apple iPhone user and Tesla model s owner. She loves the usability on both. There are buttons for many things and the screens are easy to use and snappy quick!
@@jillthompson6110 It reminds me of the Apple Keyboard. Blackberry users said they would never go without a physical keyboard. Hard to know how it plays out. The market will decide.
Great frank review.
Glad you liked it!
