Solid description great video!
A worthy :23 minute summation. Outstanding video. 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words Jeff!
Waiting for the Juniper refresh. If it’s as good as the 3 it’s going to be awesome!
Awesome video!
Thanks for watching 🙂
Potential buyers need to be aware that the front and rear tires are different sizes. Also, a new set of tires will cost roughly $2500. It’s the price you pay for driving a 3.5 seconds 0-60 performance vehicle.
Cost me 1500 at Costco
@@mchase4 Wow. What brand did you buy?
Cost $219 each tyre in Australia dude...
@dba8211 replacing with the same Pirelli P-Zeros is $2100 at my local shop. Plus sales tax here in the states.
Mine is a company car, not my problem 🤣
Have you made a video about your radar mount?
This is great!! I've been wondering how deep the love runs after the newness rubs off - I can't wait to get behind the wheel of one!!
What are you using to hold your radar detector on top of your screen? I have a Valentine One and use the suction cups on the window. Thanks.
I made a video for this! Link for the mount is in the description as well:

This car is more than worth the money. Especially right now in 2024. Model Y’s have never been cheaper. Elon has slashed prices by about 20k and the model Y still qualifies for tax rebate. Throw on no maintenance other than tires, no filling up with gas. It’s impossible to beat the value for the current price. No brainer buying this car right now.
Agreed! Plus using my link gets you 3 months free Full Self Driving and some other goodies!

I think #5 of the things I don't like about the Tesla Performance (Had mine for 9 months) is the suspension. Its hard.
Hey Marcus, thanks for watching! I have heard that quite a bit, but for me in my experience with previous vehicles, I personally don’t find it any more stiff or uncomfortable. But again that’s just my experience, and I know that as a common complaint amongst owners.
Great video. Wish I could get one! Townhouse and level 2 charging upgrade would require new box and long wiring which got quoted at over $8k. That’s just a deal breaker for me.
Thanks so much for watching Tony!
I totally get it. Luckily I had a 240 in my garage, so it was just a matter of wire to where I wanted the charger. It also doesn’t help that copper is so expensive.
Now that said, I recommend checking the app PlugShare - it may work for you real nice if you have a free charger near where you work. Then charge for free during the day and use your standard 120 plug at home over night.
I know some folks to rely exclusively on Superchargers too… still cheaper than gas.
Anyway, thanks again!
@@nowteslafy hopefully more charging options will be available near work. Thanks for the reply, seriously best Tesla video I’ve watched, keep it up!
I’m charging on a 110 plug and it gets me to work and back, about 40 miles a day with overnight charging. For more driving, I supplement with a supercharger stop.
Yep, definitely enough for Getting around town! And if you have one at work, you can charge there too! Lots of folks live in the 30-50% state of charge.
And yep, superchargers will make longer trips a cinch!
I always find myself eyeballing everyone's wheels to see the one out of about 50 that has no curb rash 🙂we live up in Colorado, so I bought a set of T sport 20 inch wheels for my winter tires.
What kind of snow tires do you have that you mentioned in this video?
Hey Rick! Thanks for watching. I have the 19” snow wheel set from Tesla. The tires are Pirelli Sottozeros.
I love this video.I’m Japanese.I have a question.Which interior do you recommend me white seats or black seats?
Thank you for watching!
I absolutely love the white interior, I do think it helps add to the luxury.
I would get the black, however, if you want a more private interior for outsiders looking in. Both are same material.
白
I have white too. If you're not a neat freak go with the white but if you worry about the cleanliness of your interior, save yourself the stress and get the black.
Have you noticed too on auto pilot with a merging lane it tends to pull towards the merge? Scary that’s why I hate “Auto pilot”. I had to buy so many “extras” that should be standard!
I’m on the FSD Beta track and it has been amazing on the highway. I just finished a vacation across Washington state and it was fantastic on the interstate even with dense traffic. For merging I think the inkling thing I’d whine about is that it waits to the end of the merge lane to actually merge instead of taking advantage of a gap before.
I only have a model 3 LR but the wife’s would like this model Y P, I am worried about the big wheels and 35mm tires as previous experiences with a Mercedes c class and 35mm tyres is that I expend my life watching the road for potholes as had a few tyre blowouts and many cracked wheels being welded, not ideal but needs must. And also the paint, I acquired quite a few chips and some road rash so shelled out £1500 on a ceramic coating and bonnet and front number PPF but find you have to be careful when washing the car now. Small price to pay for the protection I suppose. Anyway the Y Performance is an awesome looking car especially when the Interior is black also. Great Vid and we’ll explained thanks
Thank you for watching! 2 years in and still love it. We have good roads here so no issues with potholes. I think i would get a full ppf wrap next time, but that said, having been rear ended, I would have had to have that redone as well.
Has Tesla fixed phantom breaking in the August software update?
I’d say likely not (as I’m in the FSDBeta software track) However, I have heard that the current release (still being rolled out) of the FSD beta group is reporting it’s practically eliminated. I’d also wager that with the significant improvement to phantom breaking in the latest builds *should* make its way to standard Autopilot within the next few months.
I keep seeing people comparing the luxury of a benz GLE or RX or X5. In same brands compare their electric version like a EQB. They are 30k more than non electric vehicles. So You have to add 20-30k for an EV. You can only compare luxury of a 30-40k car.
Great video and nice looking car !! 2021 was a bad time to buy Tesla I think .. just ordered my model Y performance about 64k after tax and everything
Thank you for watching and congratulations! You’ll love it.
Did you buy FSD, paint, white interior, and tow hitch?
It’s not that much different tbh, with FSD being the main price equalizer. I paid 10k for FSD. It’d cost you 15k now.
now is way cheaper and deal breaker@@nowteslafy
@@nowteslafyFair point. I got none of these on mine and if I added it would be similar price as yours
That black MYP is a super sharp spec 👌🏻
Absolutely. Love it! Thanks for watching 🙌
Does having a glass roof get very hot inside the car?
Hey Mick! Thanks for the question. I live in Central WA state, and the hottest it’s gotten in summer outside since I’ve had it is 114 F. I think the best answer I can give you is that I haven’t been uncomfortable or even noticed it was any hotter than any other car.
I think this is due to 2 things- 1 I find the climate control works very well and even has an automatic “cabin overheat protection” setting so while parked it will never go above 110 inside the cabin. And I almost always turn on the AC from my phone when I know I’m headed back out to the car.
2- the glass is treated and helps keep it cooler. And perhaps my white interior may also help.
Hope that answers your question!
Honda piolet black edition, $53,000 payments after mark up $850-$900,
Plus gas $300-$400 month = $1,150 moth not including services like oil change etc.
Tesla performance is $70,000 payments a month $1,100-$1,150 no service
$0-$80 month charging,
Your spending the exact amount a month but Tesla $70,000- $75,000 value and doesn’t depreciate
Honda piolet value $53,000 loses $6,000 instantly as you drive off and all that lost money going to the gas stations instead of going towards the value of the car
Hi Humberto, thanks for watching! Yes, I’m sure you could probably do some math to make it similar in comparison ( although I think you were quite a bit high on the gas end of things, at least for my driving habits). And I’m also not considering monthly payments, interest rates, etc. my main point was there are certainly other options that may or may not appeal to everyone but it’s something to consider. I definitely love my tesla, and wouldn’t trade it for any of those as mentioned in my video but again, I thought it was worth bringing up. Thanks again for watching!
sweet ride, just curious...what do you do for a living?
Thanks Matt! I’m a UX designer.
You have to think about gas and premium gas AND dealer markups. Yes, if you got it for msrp your argument would make more sense.
Thanks for watching Bria! You’re right, there are a few other factors to consider - and definitely fuel being a major one. My goal though, in this area was more of a simple comparison. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t trade for any of those.
where do you live? beautiful scenery
Thanks for watching! I live in Central Washington state. Wonderful spot for the outdoors! Desert on one side of the river and green mountain range of the cascades on the other 🙂
Definitely service is an issue.. communication is slow. And some gremlins. Having issues with 2 cell phones having issues where one will not work sometimes unlocking and driving the car.
Totally agree. My wife is like half my height, and it’s so frustrating when I get in the drivers seat and she gets in the passenger and I get crushed by her settings. And my phone is set to priority as well… and yes sometimes unlocking is inconsistent.
@@nowteslafy Dude use the easy entry setting.... It pushes the seat and steering wheel out of the way so you can get your big butt in and out with ease. Just like the Lexus from 2000
You paid 79k for your MYP??? I never knew they were rhat high. 11:17
Like most things, the price has come down quite a bit! That said, it doesn’t bother me. I’ve had it now for nearly 3 years and if you take my savings in gas over that time (which was at its highest too) it’s not tooo far off from a fully loaded MYP today (however that tax credit is huge). It’s a great time to buy. If you don’t already have one, please consider using my link for your purchase!

Just bought mine for 58k with $7500 federal rebate and i could use a write off. So for $50,500 good luck finding something better. At least model y has good reliability most cars dont and the rx is trash. Honestly go drive it u feel like ur in premium rav4. Just stay away from paying 15k foe fsd and your golden. Nobody will match ur price and as much as u get from it.
Thanks for watching Dimitriy! Congrats on the Y!!
model y price just dropped again
@Slimigo yes tesla did drop the price but they honered the drop cuz i didnt take delivery yet. Im so happy now.
I wanted to get a Lesus NX hybrid but after over a year of trying to get one, I gave up and ordered a model Y Long range I. Red with white interior and had it in a week. I liked the Lexus but I definitely like this more.
I agree with your opinion on the price to value vs other vehicles. I'm not sure the value is there. I don't care about minimalism in a car, as the Tesla has everything you "need"...but the price tag is out of control right now.
Most price tags are out of control. When compared to EVs it is statistically priced better than the average and the car is by far above average
Right now with the IRS rebate it is less than $45,000 not $62,000
best tip hit the supercharger at 3-4 am save $
Cool, thanks!
now the prices are crazy like you can get performance model just for 54 grands.
$52,490 as of 11/21/23!
Wutang represent haha 😄
5 it always sounds like the back windows are down. 😂
Yeah I can see/hear that ;)
I know for the price the tesla should be considered luxury... But i see Tesla in its own category. I dont see it ae a luxury car brand. Its more of a tech brand. Even if it doesnt have the most features, it has the most optimized (except for the fsd fiasco) features for a vehicle.
Thank you for watching! I’d agree. Be sure to check out my 2 year review :)
For your ugly part regarding the customer service, most dealerships suck anyway so it evens out in my opinion😊
Yeah, it does feel pretty gross at dealerships. That said, I’ve had wonderful experiences with MINI. I don’t have any experience with luxury brands like Lexus, Merc or BMW…
I keep on seeing these videos about how good the Tesla sound system is. I own a Model Y and Model 3 and I have to say it is not. I actually should do a video because everyone thinks I'm a hater. You know what... 🤔?
Thanks for watching! In my lived experience, it’s amazing. Coming from Honda and MINI’s HK system, and a few DIY systems from when I was a kid. Im sure if you’re an audiophile your ear might be more critical 😎
Just curious which car audio system are You comparing with.
@@sakthishrajendran4264 Acura ELS, Lexus with the Mark Levinson upgrade and BMW’s Harmon/Kardon are all superior systems in fidelity and max output. It just doesn’t get as loud as these aforementioned systems. Additionally, there is an issue with the Tesla audio system on my Model Y and a couple of my friends where the mids are extremely muddy especially when there is ambient sounds in a song or vocals are mixed in stereo. And when the ambient sound effect is on it’s even worse. There are actual examples of this on popular Tesla forums.
@@nowteslafy Great video by the way. Keep it up.
@@sakthishrajendran4264 thanks for watching! Ive heard many including custom installs with components, etc. I’ve also had 3 MINI’s with Harmon Kardon systems. IMO it’s simply superior. But I’m also not an audiophile and my taste in music may also have an impact on the sound profile I enjoy (generally +bass neutral mids and +treb)
LMFAO I have a 2022 and got it this March and its at 9899 lol
Thanks for watching Hugo! I have zero commute, so all my mileage is pretty local runs and a hand full of road trips 🤣
I WON"T NEVER EVER CHANGE MY MYP TO AMG OR M. I AGREED 100% TOP5 GOOD but NONE BAD AND UGLY. BRO U LIVIN COUNTRYSIDE WHY DID U BUY TESLA> JUST SELL IT AND GET AMG. PEOPLE IN THE CITY LOVE YOUR TESLA
Well, thanks for watching. I bought a Tesla because of those good reasons, for sure. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. Nor would I trade it for any of the others I looked at. It’s bleeding edge tech too- hell, my channel name is “Now Teslafy” that’s as fan boy as it gets.
But bro, the paint is soft. It’s really bad. And Tesla owners get flats all the time and curb rash is real bad (though yes, you can argue it’s my fault). It’s not all roses, and a lot of those things would not be an issue in the vehicles I showed.
Only $190 of electrical usage after 1year....nooo sir...
What do you mean?
I pay .02 KWh at home, which is 95% of my charging… and there are plenty of free chargers when traveling.
Man you bought at wrong time. 54k is y performance price now
I may have gone more conservative if I had current pricing, but my exact configuration today is $72,990 according to the site (I don’t think it qualifies for the rebate). That’s only a couple K cheaper. But I’ve also had mine for nearly 2 years now, and I only paid 10k for FSD.
No regrets.
My fully loaded MYP in red was 63k OTD with the price decrease where did you get 54k?
@doremeow2348 when did you buy it? Huge price drop spring of this year. MYP fully loaded white interior etc 58K out the door.
FSD is $15k alone… fully loaded out the door for my exact config is $73,120
Add FSD, Black, White Interior, tow hitch and mobile connector.
It does qualify for the tax credit… if a credit even makes sense for you.
I have no regrets.
@@ddoncits i got it May 28th red paint white interior tow hitch paid off half and finance the rest came up to $63k for me in California
You bought at the top of the market unfortunately. Model Y is a much better value today.
Thanks for watching! I’m not too bummed about it; all configured (and before tax credit) it’s actually only about $2k less if you similarly configure mine: add premium paint, white interior, tow hitch, FSD and mobile connector. Plus, I’ve enjoyed every minute of it over the last 2.5 years and saved a ton on gas.
additional ugly: the car lost 18k in value in matter of weeks. Just got mine, paid less than 62k including sales tax and all other fees.
Congrats and thanks for watching!
I’ve had mine for nearly 2 years now. I don’t care that much about depreciation.
dude paint your garage :)
I have since then!
This is not a garage review video.🙄
My 22 Performance Y will not be in the snow.
Awesome!! You’re lucky! But you’ll be glad to know it’s capable if needed!
