- Here are my thoughts on the Tesla model Y after owning it for 5 months! Now this car is amazing, so don't get me wrong about some of the negatives that I point out here in this tesla model y video. Tesla has done a lot of things right, but there are still a few things they could improve on.

I SOLD my tesla model y after 3 years of ownership... There are numerous things I LOVE and HATE about the car, which I talk about here: th-cam.com/video/j-4O0gr3QXA/w-d-xo.html
You’re buying 60+ thousand dollar car, but a $400 power outlet installation is eating into your savings?
right?
Exactly. It's like buying an exotic car and can't afford the gas
He'll be fine, there's a tax credit that lets you get 30% of the cost back for the install. little known fact that most tesla owners don't know about. I got mine for '19 when I did my taxes. You're welcome Cody
Lol. I came here to type exactly this. Ridiculous.
Forget $400, he complains about a $30 water bottle that doesn’t fit. lol
"It's not a deal breaker, but it could be a little bit bigger." LOL that's what she said!
LOL!!
Then they should have bought an X. 🙄
Someone who spends 70,000usd in a car should not say that 400 usd in a charger will eat up in his savings.
He needs Dave Ramsey lol
Its a $70k loan, $750 per month before insurance, so $400 can still be a lot
@@wmaiii1124 If an easily predictable , unessential, one time $ 400 expense can be “a lot” and threatens your savings to the point where it “eats up your savings”, then that car budget clearly wasn’t planned properly.
@@FasterThanSoup That's fair. Maybe he lives on cash flow and not savings lol
@@wmaiii1124 The mention of living on cash flow gave me rapid flashbacks to campus mac-n-cheese, Spam, warm beer, cold pizza, and sight&smells I thought I’d forgotten. Wish I’d forgotten lol
You can reboot the vehicle by holding booth scroll wheels pressed on the steering wheel for about 30 s. Can help with connectivity and other issues
I had to do that recently, wifi wasn’t working and updates kept popping up. Quick reboot took care of everything
Press and hold both buttons on the wheel, this will reset the infotainment computer.
Even works while driving! Kinda fun to drive "blind".
Afterwards sometimes you have to force a connect to the phone. Under phone list you can force the car to connect .
I put my large water bottle in well in front of the cell phones.
@@benjamind7290 If you stop and press the brake too, whilst pressing the 2 wheel buttons, you get a "hard reset", instead of a soft one.
WAIT reset or restart cuz isn’t reset resetting everything to default?
@@foxyfox3942 no it's like a hard reboot, like holding power button down on your phone or computer
Hold right scroll down and say open glovebox and it’ll open no need to take hands off wheel. Except to reach in afterwards lol.
Instead of walking out of distance of the car you can switch flight mode on and off the phone. Just a workaround I found
Your phone is connected via Bluetooth. Just toggle it in your setting if you want it to disconnect.

Hey bro, there are 2 small wheels on steering. When you press n hold both of simultaneously for 4-5sec, the car restarts !!!
Not the whole car, just the entertainment computer. The reset works while driving.
Hold the foot brake too and it resets everything
Thank you. Everyone always talk about what they love about it nobody barely ever mentions the downsides. I like to know exactly what I'm walking into.
Hi Cody,
Excellent video, well balanced with pros and cons.
I own a 2021 model 3 LR . I had to drop it off for service and they lent me a 2020 model Y std. I am very impressed with the extra room and higher ride position, but one thing that put me off is the road noise coming from the tires on the Highway. I seriously thought there was something wrong with it. I don't think i could handle it on a daily basis. It wasn't the Performance model, just std range on 20 in rims. Our M3 on 18 in OEM rides a lot better and is quieter. Hopefully they can improve on this in the next couple years which is when we would like to trade up to a Y.
I can, and always have been able to, run the AC on both upper and lower at the same time, so either user error or you need to get it serviced. Maybe a reset would help as it seems like you've never done that before based on not knowing how to reset with the no connectivity issue. For the glovebox, just hit the right scroll button and say open glovebox...same voice controls work for nearly everything you'd need to do on the screen while driving. Even adjusting the AC.
Exactly!! I love mine.
Instead of using the screen for everything, press the right scroll wheel and ask it to open the glovebox. It’s magic and super efficient!
Doesn't work on a Model Y.
Yeah unfortunately that command doesn't work on the model Y yet.
@@CodySteckRealEstateVideos that’s so crazy! I just saw it on an Andy Slye video. I wonder why Tesla doesn’t make it uniform? I love my Y, even if the glovebox is harder to open.
If Tesla was as good understanding commands as my Google home mini, it would be a game changer.
Efficient is to have a manual lever/button to open it.
I was also bothered by the low profiles on my 21’s so I downsized to 19’s with 255/45/19 tires, ride is so much better now and I noticed the range and speed has increased a bit also, btw No many wheel makers that fits Model Y just yet, I got VMR V710 perfect fit👍
I was looking at those actually. How do the 19's look on the car? I will have to look at some pictures. My brother has VMR's on his model 3 and they look amazing. It's time to start looking at specs and find something to put on, in the spring
@@CodySteckRealEstateVideos I think 20" is a good compromise. My friend changed his 21 Uber wheel to 20" Vossen HF3 and saw a big difference improvement on his range and riding comfort.
@@baldpnoy410 Any hard numbers on wh/mile before and after the new wheels? I'm thinking about getting 19 or 20s to replace the 21" Uberturbines but I've been struggling to get real world data for the wheels I'm looking at.
@@noobystok I was at 288 fully charged w my 21’s now with the 19’s I’m getting 306..
@@haroldlee6923 awesome, thanks for the info
Great Job !
Thanks for taking the time to produce & post this video !
Thanks for watching!! Appreciate it
lol I literally just ordered a white, black seat, long range, 19" tire, model Y after reading about oil prices are going to $500/barrel, about 5x the current price. I figure white looks cleaner, the 19" wheels get better mileage and cost less, and 0-60 is 5s is plenty fast, i'd rather the extra range. Hearing you say this makes me happy I chose wisely.
Gas isn’t going to $500/barrel anytime soon. Even still, good idea to not have to buy gas at any price point. Enjoy your new ride.
@@colindouglas1997 I agree oil isn't going to $500/barrel yet, but, if it does start to go there, the cost to build a tesla would go up 500% as raw materials would go up in price commensurate to oil's increase. I see an electric car as insurance against it, and they are amazing! There is no downside to it.
A fair review like this helps more than a fanboy review. This could help people with their optioning choices and manage expectations.
Glove compartment is a small fail & a gimmick, your hand has to be able to reach it to use it anyway. There should be a 2nd screen behind steering wheel.
I think some voice commands could be a pain with children in the car. "Hey Mercedes" looks super annoying.
Great review. We’re getting the performance mainly because I think the extended range is a little bland and the few differences between the two makes the performance look more aggressive. As far as the drive? A little bumpy but the seats are so comfortable that we don’t mind it.
Yes for sure! I 100% agree - I wish the ride was better, but the seats are great!
@@CodySteckRealEstateVideos here’s an idea for a future video. Could you please make a detail video on the process of the car delivery and the issues you mentioned you had to address and get fixed?
How was that process?
Thanks!
To each their own but for me the bumpy ride makes a big difference when you're paying 70+ k for a car. The dang ride should be smooth as butter which it is ... as long as its on a flat road/freeway. I transitioned from a Toyota Highlander to the Model Y and while the Highlander wasn't the smoothest of rides I could feel the road ALOT less on the toyota. A friend has the model X and when I drive her car its nite and day with regards to the suspension but its substantial difference in price tag.
On my third Tesla from 2016 to 2023. I must say the quality has dropped since the 2016 model. If they open up SUPERCHARGERS to other EV cars Most likely will be my last
Great informative review man!
120V is far from enough. I use the Tesla Wall Connector, and it is awesome. Average is 11.5 kWh. I used a 120V outlet once, while at a camping site overnight. I didn’t yet have a TT-30 connector, so the 120V served to just keep the car from draining while using Camp Mode overnight.
Fine if you keep within range, but waiting 40 mins for a charge? whilst those in a $400 banger fly past you, you may ask "Was it a wise investment?"
I'd rather have a regular lever on the glove box. If someone breaks into your car, I don't think they care too much if they have to break into the glove box as well. Still waiting for delivery on my Model Y.
Thanks for posting this review. I've been looking at the Model Y and the long range model sounds like a better fit for my driving style.
A part of me wishes I had gone with the long range and gotten FSD! For most people, I would probably actually recommend this at this point.
Two things you can do if having trouble connectivity issues while in car. Bring up main controls on screen and you can turn car off on the screen. Also the connection is Bluetooth so bring up Bluetooth on your phone and turn it off and the back on.
That car is a beauty. And you got it parked in the perfect spot, with the mountains in the background 👌. This was a great breakdown. Very thorough and detailed. Watched from beginning to end and you covered everything👍🏾
Thanks brotha! Appreciate the support and you watching!
Yeah I agree with you
Feel free to put a small basket under your seat to store your extra large water bottle. It's a pain to get to it while you're driving per se compared to the passenger seat, but it's great when you don't necessarily need to access it during the drive without it rolling around.
Hey that's a great idea! I love that there is a ton of space under the seats too, compared to other cars.
Keep in mind a bottle getting under your brake pedal can be a extreme hazard - hopefully it has automatic braking at all times?
Regarding the screen position, I think I'd rather have a heads-up display while driving. My current car has many of the controls to the right, and it isn't as safe as having them in front and steering wheel mounted.
Then the Tesla S is the car for you. and even a used one can work well. Previously, the Tesla S had a sunroof
Great review man. Keep it up.
Great call on the subscription base service for the Tesla Full Self Driving, pay attention Elon:) or referral links just like super charging for discounted monthly fees or free.
Yes - 100%! Can't wait for subscription service (for my own use, and the stock price)
What if the subscription price is like $100-150/mo
@@CodySteckRealEstateVideos Subscription is 199 per month, :/. Break even time would be 4 years 2 months
Great video, Cody. Ill be getting a Y next year and I’ll put all your info to good use. As a TSLA enthusiast and investor, I’m starting to get a little concerned with what I’ve seen with the new FSD version. Great in some instances, very shaky in others. Autonomy is a big part of the investing thesis for Tesla, so the less-than-stellar launch (my perception) of the new FSD program is something to be concerned about. It will be interesting to see what you think when you get the update.
Thanks for watching! I think it still has a long way to go, to be entirely safe. I've noticed that the car definitely errs on the side of safety when it probably doesn't need too. (can't blame it, given regulations and new technology) I personally think it will be at least another 2-4 years before we see FSD at the level you'd expect of a "normal" driver over a period of thousands of miles.
Depends on where you live, I find FSD to have no problems in the summer but doesn’t work at all in winter where snow covers the majority of the lanes.
I wouldn't call it a "launch" of their FSD program. This is just adding customers into their testing program to help accelerate the development. By the time the software is ready for a proper 'launch' they'll be rolling out robotaxis.
FSD is a massive rip off. 10 years away ( at least).
Skip the FSD
Buying a car for close to $70k I find it a bit wierd that one of the complaints would be that you have to spend $400 for a proper charging infrastructure. Just for the sake of comparison, I had to pay $2800 for the charging system I have here (Norway), granted it is a 400V system. but still, What's eating up your savings is buying a car for 67k, not paying $400 for an upgraded charging system :P
The model Y costs over 90k in Canada now. The model 3 is around 70k for the standard RWD. These cars are ridiculously priced these days. The cars themselves are not even CLOSE to that cost. The model 3 is closer to a 30 or 40k vehicle.
At a 70k budget, I would rather buy an Ionic 5. You get more bang for your buck with that and unlike the Model 3, is a properly well designed vehicle with good quality materials and build. The ride is way better too. You even get more tech than a Tesla, which surprised me.
Great takes 👏 love 💗 my 21 Tesla 3 performance long-range w/Auto-Pilot
Keep up the great 👍🏾 work

Coming from low profile tires and shitty roads on my current car, 19" wheels for the LR is one thing I'm looking forward to.
I hear you there! When I put new wheels on next year, I may go down to 20" wheels so I can allow for just a little bit more tire on there. I'll have to check specs and think hard about it
Yeah for sure. I got stock wheels on my LR M3 and I'm glad I did; works great off road and I don't worry about scraping up the wheels. Different things for different folks I guess.
Same! My A5 in Atlanta is rough
I went with long range for this reason and because you get more ground clearance, will help in the snow. It's fast enough!
I love my Model Y Long Range after owning it for 7 months. My only complaint is the rough suspension. It’s AMAZING on smooth roads, but in Chicago the roads are awful and I feel every imperfection in the road.
Do you have the 19 or 20 inch tires?
Change the suspension, even a TH-cam video on it
@@User100mil but wouldn’t that void the warranty by changing the suspension?
@@donjuan7595 Good question, i dont know how long warranty they have on that, maybe 2/4 years? but now it does not matter, they have already confirmed small upgrades for it (including suspension) when building it at GIGA Berlin and other places to come.
Ride quality is such a disappointment on this tech wonder! Amazing to think Tesla could make such a big mistake! Putting the suspension of a race car in the perfect electric family SUV. Why?
Fair review. For range you can get it back by switching the wheels to 18”. As for the current rims , man the ones on the left point in one direction and the ones on the right in the opposite , how come Tesla let this slide ? I’d make a claim to Tesla about that, THAT can’t be right.
Waiting for my Cybertruck
Hit the car icon then the security features button. There is a power off button to turn off the car
Concerning wireless updates I can tell you that my 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid is able to do its updates wherever it has a wifi connection. I don’t need to go to the dealership as you mentioned.
My 19 RAV4 will update anywhere there is a Verizon cell phone connection.
You can push in and hold down both scroll wheels on the steering wheel to hard reset the infotainment system
Cody, thank you for the video; I have a question, I met a model x (2017) owner that I advised him that auto pilot is about 10 K and he said sthat he did not buy the auto pilot but after auto upgrade later his auto pilot became activated, is this true?
All tesla's come with autopilot which is the basics of full self driving (FSD), so perhaps that is what he is referring to?
You mean FSD (Full Self Driving). Autopilot has been standard on all Teslas.
Cody. Many people mention the bumps in the road, do you find this on normal city streets or on bumpy roads or camping etc?
I have had issues with connections as well. First this is standard Bluetooth issues (all devices have this). But if its bad, just reboot the car this has helped me a few times.
Does turning off Bluetooth on your phone, and then turning it back on help?
Seems like a quicker option than rebooting the Tesla.
@@Dave--FkTheDeepstate most of the time trying a few times work and maybe turning Bluetooth on or off. Or turning the car off /stepping away. Honestly the Teala connects better than most other cars i know. But one time i could not connect and after reboot it worked fine.
If had it a few times that the car acted up and a reboot fixes it
Sorry, I don't have a Tesla but I know the phone problem. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth often use the same antenna. Leave Bluetooth on and switch off Wi-Fi before coming to the door, I would like to know please.
Dipping into Tesla videos? I’m here for it. This channel just got even better
Yeah I have put out a few!
$400 on charger eats into your savings but not $70k on the car? 😅 nice review, good points overall
What’s the Range on yours?
I do road trips and need not only some storage but Can’t spend 1/4 the time at a charger 🔌
Hi Cody, how does the blind spot monitoring work on model Y? Does it beep if somebody is in your blind spot and you try to change lane?
Great update review 👍👍! These will be a lot more popular in the UK when they abolish the £500+ annual road tax for buying a vehicle worth over 40k 🤬. What a reward for zero emissions 🙄
Ouch! I agree with you!
Zero emissions? You are not being honest, fossil fuels are still used for the majority of electricity ⚡️ production!
Greedy UK government trying to eat their cake and have it. They’ve always over relied on excessive fuel taxes from motorists, to shore up the finance coffers.
Did you know UK motorists are taxed TWICE for each fuel fill up? They’re heavily taxed on the price of fuel; they pay £0.579 fuel duty per litre of fuel, and then the total amount per litre is taxed again at 20.7p (value added tax).
Blatantly shameless rip off.
They’ve lost so much income tax on electric vehicles and hybrids, so now they’re trying to claw it back with cynically punitive financial penalties for buying an expensive zero emission vehicle - pure and unbridled stupidity if you ask me!
The connectivity issue (4G) is likely a modem that needs to be replaced. This was a problem with a run from the model supplier they used at the time. They've since changed suppliers.
How does that help customers that suffered with bad 4G?
@@DerekDavis213 Tesla has pivoted to alternative components wherever possible in the past ~2 years based on supply constraints.
Their team can write new firmware for a different type chip or modem to take advantage of model availability instead of waiting on logic chips or components like an IC642. Similar components are the gate for Ford and why they’ve had to park thousands of Bronsos or sell to customers without key features.
With pivoting to a different modem comes some consequences because the alternates might not perform as well.
@@nickc.70 So how do you explain the *TONS* of problems that Tesla owners experienced, before the pandemic and supply chain problems?
@@DerekDavis213 I’m talking specifically about modems, per my original comment…
I’ve experienced several issues with my Tesla, but like most owners I love the car.
Kinda like all my friends that own F-150’s or Jeeps. Those things break all the damn time, but the owners love them.
Friend just had to pay $1,500 to replace a fuel injector on his Raptor that has 16k miles. Dude loves the car.
Cars have issues, unless it’s my Toyota Tacoma with 340k miles on it. That thing is a tank.
@@nickc.70 Does an F-150 or Jeep cost $55 k to $70k? That's the difference.
Supercharging the Tesla is a hassle and a waste of time, the car has poor paint job and fit-and-finish, it has no dashboard - just a big iPad screen. Also a rough ride, Full Self Driving is YEARS late and still nowhere near ready, and many people can't even unlock the car with their phones! wtf?
If you spend $50K on a Toyota or Honda gasoline car, you will get a much more polished and high quality product.
Nice video. You mention about restarting the car. You can do this by pressing the two wheel buttons on the steering wheel. I've had to do it a few times on M3.
Here from Draper. Tested already, but taking one out this evening till Monday. I’m stoked for the drive this weekend. I get the gripes about the paint and ect, but it’s good they make it right on the fix for the paint. I don’t know many dealerships that have that level of accountability. I so appreciate your share and would like to meet up with you in person since we are neighbors per se and talk further about your experience. Take care and enjoy.
Yeah they definitely took care of everything as long as it was noted within the first couple of days. I appreciate that, because I don’t see traditional dealerships doing it. In the grand scheme, it’s not a big deal as long as they make it right.
I feel like we have the same thoughts.. besides I drive a lot faster lol.. but I've thing you skipped was the electric bill.. do you know how much it added to your bill?
About $50-80/month depending on how much I drive it.
@@CodySteckRealEstateVideos Can you translate into kwHs?
I believe pressing both buttons down on the steering wheel and holding them for a few seconds while on park will reset the car without having to get out of it fully.
This.
I use the voice command to open the glove box. I do experience my Y not recognizing my phone from time to time. I use my card key when that happens. Tesla told me to make sure my phone isn’t upside down in my pocket. Apparently that makes your phone “go to sleep.” I do love it though. Very happy
Thank you for the information
Thanks for watching and for the support!
You voice is perfect for any kinda review videos or audios .
Lol. Haven't heard that before, but thank you!
You can simply reset the screen/computer by keep the both steering buttons pressed at the same time for 2-5 secs. You can still drive the car normally while it takes the screen some 60 secs to come back live again - it is a smart car, it needs a reset once in a while but it is pretty painless to do :)
For the part to restart I think on your steering wheel there is 2 buttons hold them until the screen turn off so yea or just hold 1 button
You can try to turn off the car in safety and security then step on the brake to turn it back on
That loaner car looked pretty sweet.
Maybe save on getting the performance model, and get the long range instead of you have that much range anxiety. If he got the long range, he could’ve saved the cash and gotten the 220 system, performance download for your 0-60 time, and still been under cost of the “performance model”
Both "face-fan" and "foot-fan" can be selected at the same time.
Wry informative, thank you
Got 4 paint problems With my red Tesla Model Y that Tesla will not fix because I did not notify Tesla before the 100 miles.
Bad customer service. So be aware when you pick up your Tesla.
yikes, that sucks. the guy that I worked with at my local tesla shop was awesome and very helpful despite the problems.
Reviews like yours leads me to plan on getting the base color and then wrapping it. Thanks.
You tried taking it to another service center?... My friend had issues with panel gap and paint. First service center said they were within spec. He took it to another service center and they fixed all his issue. Each service center works different.
Thinking of getting a black Model Y as well - how has your paint held up? Did you get any PPF/coating? I am thinking of getting black, but not any PPF/coating.. would rather spend that money on the Autopilot upgrade. What're your thoughts on that?
I thought about getting paint protection, but then spoke to a few people and they said "why protect crappy paint" which really resonated with me lol... I may wrap the car or get it repainted a few years down the road. So far the paint has been 95% as good as I could hope for.
Tesla charges extra for non-white. Why not take that money to Maaco and get a second coat of any color you want?
Excellent review, man. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support!
A good honest review. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
For a soft reset, hold both of the scroll wheels on the steering wheel until the screen goes blank. Wait a minute and it will turn it right back on.
Can anyone else confirm that this works?
Please provide reference to Tesla owners manual that describes this.
Thank you.
@@danchatka8613 Yes it works, and yes it is in the manual. You can even reset it while driving, no problem. Kind of thrilling to drive "blind" especially at night.
Can also open glove box by voice command.
@@benjamind7290 You realize that nobody under age 50 reads their owners manual anymore, right? 😁
These quality control issues would have been understandable 16 years ago, however Tesla has been producing cars for going on 17 years now. A company Producing cars in this Price Point should have Pride in the Product they are producing and should Not be Shipping Out Crap. Tesla is showing over and over that they don't care about the Product they are Producing or about the People who are spending their Hard Earned Cash on their Products. Hearing these stories Over and Over and seeing the Miss Aligned Body Panels on a $125,000 Model X myself from 25 feet away driving by in my car douse not make me want to buy a Tesla.
3:43 what phone do you have? I have an iphone 14 pro max and I have never had these issues that you speak of with bluetooth.
Clear! Informative. Very helpful💥
220 outlet eats into your savings? And you bought a $70k vehicle? It sounds like you can barely afford the car, not to be rude.
Pays for itself in gas savings. If 400$ puts a dent into your savings, his debt to asset ratio is off.
For some it is all about vanity and impressing others
here in Sweden, a charging box is definitely recommended. Unfortunately, it has happened that properties he started to burn when the person has charged the car with a standard electrical outlet. a charge box monitors the temperature
But the price is well for every kilowatt, whether it is transferred slowly or quickly. an example if you transfer 35kw in an hour or 3 hours then it should be exactly the same price. you pay do not talk per minute. outside How many KW you transfer. I do not think the United States is a strange country. otherwise you have to take and contact a politician and ask them to be a little wiser
That’s a bit judgemental dude. I would not blame someone for rather spend the money on Tesla stock than a faster charger… priorities my man ;)
It was tempting for me to go for Performance Model
Y, but I decided to go for LR. Love it, I mostly charge mine at Superchargers as I only have the regular outlet at my home.
I had the stock prior to getting my car, Go Tesla!! 👍😊
Dayum! The tesla service center told me charging al super chargers all day is bad lol 😂
@@illmaticnewyorker3426 , do not charge more than 80% at Superchargers, been charging at home too
@@illmaticnewyorker3426this is not true
I just got my model y performance last week with black exterior and white interior but now I paid little over 80k after taxes prices definitely went up and now the car went up another 2k from a month ago when I placed my order but honestly I love the performance model with the 21" rims black paint with black rims looks so aggressive I looked at the model y long range vs performance and the long range just looks so plain I couldn't except only 5k difference between the long range vs performance if you parked the 2 cars next to each other it's like night and day difference big 21"rims with bigger rotors and red brakes plus carbon fiber spoiler and the performance is way faster than long range and it's barely any difference in range with only 27 miles difference you won't even notice the difference doing your everyday driving so if you like fast and more aggressive look than definitely go with the performance model it's totally worth the extra 5k to get that power and look in the performance model
What if I live in an apartment? No chargers there but we do have one supercharger station. I live in a small town and only drive 10-25 miles a day. Do you think I’ll be ok?
You will be okay for commuting. Remember even though the 110V charger will only give a slight battery charge, you still have all the remaining charge if you want to take a longer trip. And if you return and the battery is down to 30% then it’s supercharger time for 1-1/2 hours and you are back in tip top shape.
Wow you put me at ease as I am picking up my white long range Model Y tomorrow. I thought your review of the car was going to be worse. I really enjoyed the details and honesty and now that I know your review and super excited about the new car. Wish you all the best.
On another note if you really want to be impressed with Tesla's cutting edge technology watch what they are doing at Boca Chica Texas. I am not sure if you know but the Starship's fins and a bunch of other technology is powered by Tesla's batteries. So he is using SpaceX technology in the cars and vice versa... Hector
Thanks Hector and congrats on your long range! It will treat you well!
I drove one of these today for the first time.
I must say that there is zero downsides to buying one of these. The acceleration and ride are amazing!! Just drive it and you will want one. That is all I have to say… Have a great week folks!👍💯🎆
I don't own a tela. But according to other creators you can push on both sroll wheels on the steeringwheel 10+ sec and your car will reset (you can still manually drive, but the screen etc is off.
I do believe it has the same center console as the 3, in which case, a large water bottle fits just fine in the cubby hole just forward of the cup holders, it's where I keep mine. As for the connectivity issue, I've found it's the phone, not the car that's the issue, 90% of the time when I can't get in, I just hit the power button on my phone, don't even have to log into it and it fixes the issue, the other 10% I just have to open the app.
Thanks for the reply! I'll try that next time!
Nice breakdown.... got into all of the detail. Even with a few regrets, still an incredible car.
Yes! No car is going to be perfect, but I'm very happy with this car overall.
It's beautiful of course!
I haven't had any of these issues with my model 3 or model y.
I don't get the environmentally friendly statements everyone claims when I always read that lithium batteries are not friendly at all and not very recyclable and causing water pollution and wildlife to die. So what's so great about electric vehicles then? Don't they use lithium batteries?
@@jackle842000 who's everyone? Tesla short sellers? FUDsters? Pretty much every recent legitimate researcher claims that electric cars are better for the environment through the life cycle of a car. And recycling plans will meet the demand once the first EVs start getting junked.
That being said, I own 2 Teslas and plan to sell my remaining ice car because Teslas are superior to ice cars in almost every way. The only aspect I can think of is that on road trips, Teslas take about 10-15 minutes longer to charge than ice cars take to fill up. And I'm limited to where superchargers are located. But with as many that exist, that's much of an issue either. Locally I spend way less time charging than I did gassing up.
If you think Tesla ownership is a bad or difficult thing, you're talking to the wrong people or reading the wrong news articles.
@@CRPerformance1 I guess that depends on country you live in .. in Amsterdam which is probably one of most EV friendly EU city it is far from perfect ..
You can reset the central screen on the car with holding both scroll wheels at the same time.
I enjoyed your review Cody. If I lived in a single climate environment I would. But the region I live in only have about 3-4 months of summer :( If I had the money to splurge, I would choose the performance. But due to the cold climate I endure (that goes below 40 degrees celcius), I would opt for the long range choice.Low profile tires, I can be annoying but I prefer that to keep me awake and a a more dynamic and agile capable drive.When Tesla releases an SUV (Model X doesn't count as one - IMO), I will consider that instead - again... due to cold climate and high amounts of snow in the region I live

Connectivity reset? Put your phone in airplane mode, wait 10 seconds, then quit airplane mode. Phone should reconnect fine
Great video, thanks for the insights! You must be in Utah - “buh-ins”. (I’m in Utah, too 😂)
Yes and “moun-ins” 😂
@@CodySteckRealEstateVideos Exactly!
Can you tell us a little bit about winter options as far as tires? (the 21 inches tires have different size in the front and rear and there are no winter tires of that kind)
Hey I was woundering if you can fit 3 golfbags in the back and 2 golf carts? We are a golf family and Need to upgrade to a bigger car.
5:10 Push the right scroll wheel then say "OPEN GLOVE BOX". The end.
5:50 Indeed. And there's no way to keep a 5-gallon keg of beer handy.
Exactly! The voice command works now, but did not at the time I recorded this video - thanks!
Solid break down. All in all its a smooth ride
Thanks for watching man! Can't wait to make some changes over the coming months. I'm going to tint the front windows, lower it even more, and get new wheels and tires in the springs.
You the only person so far with such honest review thanks
I see you are in Salt Lake... where specifically did you have to take it to for the repairs?
The Tesla dealership did it all for me 👍🏽
How hard is it to just press the right button on the wheel and then say “Open Glovebox”?
For this friggin guy?... I couldnt even imagine...
It isn’t available on the Model Y yet.
still less convenient than just opening it.
You spent 67k on a car and are having trouble with a $400 charger cost?
That was my first thought! He should have the money to get the Tesla Charger installed in garage!
LR with the app power boost seems a smarter buy to me. It's almost as quick and longer range, more comfortable (slightly) and a lot cheaper still.
Did you try pressing both scroll wheels while pressing the brake pedal to reset? I think that takes longer though. It might be your phone connecting to other Bluetooth devices.
My wife wants one simply because it has “dog mode”. Lol
The dog mode is pretty awesome actually. The ability to leave the heat/a/c on is on of my favorite features
I get comments from mostly woman on the doggie wagging it's tail on the screen when they park next to my car. Great feature!
My wife said the same thing
is she a dog?
Thanks for the review on the Y. It really made me rethink about getting the Testa, you really highlighted a lot of (small) negatives, for that price you would not expect so many issues. I think I will have a detailed look at the Rivian instead.
The fit and finish issues have improved in 2022.
The Rivian costs a lot more and doesn't have the charging network. There are also many small negatives with the Rivian, as there have always been for all cars.
@@elianashannon5214 - this is true I helped a friend take delivery of a 2017 model x and the fit was all over the place. they didn't even know how to address the issue back then .. I took delivery of a 2022 model Y had no major issues with fit. I still see some very minor stuff but not a deal breaker.
Hold down both the dials on the steering wheel to restart the computer. Can fix the connectivity issue
Had a 2013 Nissan leaf, loved it only the range was not quite there. So I ordered a Tesla Y model. I like the fact it’s like an SUV and it sure doesn’t need gas like my Land Cruiser. Can’t wait to get it
You don't really get a lot of extras with the performance. $10k into upgraded self driving would've been a better investment then nicer brakes
*Than nicer brakes.

Those mountains looked familiar and then I saw the Utah plates and it all made sense. Miss those Wasatch Mts sometimes.
Great objective review. I’d have gone for the performance version too. BTW, have you ever been told you look like Dennis Bergkamp (one of the best soccer players ever)?
Thanks for watching! I’ve never heard that before actually
@@CodySteckRealEstateVideos It’s a compliment too!
