One thing about the key card... when you own the Tesla yourself you rarely if ever use it. Your phone is your key and you don't have to put it anywhere! It just needs to be in proximity with Bluetooth on. Great review though! Glad you enjoyed it. I've had mine since Oct 2021 and will never get a petrol car again!
I bought a Tesla Model 3 last year and we love it so much that my wife got rid of her ice car and we now have two. Amazing cars with amazing technology.
@@fsclips driven a friends model 3, i failed to be amazed by anything. ive driven a mach E to which i felt was better, i prefer the interior in the ford.
Great video. We love our Model Y Dual Motor. Using the Tesla mobile app, your phone is your key, keycard for emergency. You can use voice commands such as 'warm up my butt' to turn on heated seat etc. Twisty Cumbrian roads are great fun with one pedal driving. Car is fully charged every morning on our drive, no more trips to smelly petrol stations. We've done 2 long trips to Sussex, superchargers were great.
As for the acceleration, not long after getting a Model 3LR, I was traveling on a very curvy two lane road, and as one would expect, a tanker truck pulled out in the road ahead of me, slowing down my trip considerably. There is only one good straight strip to make a pass before reaching the town I was headed for, and when we got there I took a peek around the truck, saw a clear road, and floored it. I quickly cleared the truck, glanced at the speedometer, and about crapped myself when I saw it read 96 mph, when I had started the pass somewhere between 40 and 45 mph. I took my foot off the accelerator pedal and the regenerative braking was strong enough that I didn't have to touch the brakes in order to go through the rapidly approaching curve in the road. It's so nice having that burst of energy at your command.
Its amazing how you can just pick a spot on the road then point your steering wheel and be there in a second especially if you have the boost option on the LR or have the Performance model.
As 70+ yr old kiwi petrol head and quality car owner, i now own a red tesla Y and continue to love the drive experience. Am finding my v8 ford ute and Mercedes coupe are gathering dust in the garage.
I drove the new Tesla model 3 a few weeks ago, my first drive in any EV. What an amazing car, I'm a convert and will get rid of my BMW m135i next year and get a Tesla Model 3.
I have owned Tesla since 2020. The phone is your key, the car has on board training videos, there's an icon on the dash that looks like a car, press that and it has access to the glove compartment, windshield wipers and much more. Or use voice commands to open the glove box and anything else. There are levers on the side to lower the rear seats for 75 cubic feet of space. I have long range dual motors and it's my daily driver and long distance travel car. The sound system is awesome and I like the cruise control. I am glad you liked the car, for me everything is second nature to me now.
Nice review !, i drive my Model Y Long Range for 2.5 years now and still love driving it. Some important things you missed...space in the frunk , in the nose hehe. The autopilot function, tap once for addaptive crouse control, tap twice for auto pilote meaning the car drives itself keeping it in the lane , i use it when i am tired or need to find things for routeplanning or so. Also you can do a preheating, nice in the winter it brings the interiour on the requested temperature and defrost the screens. then it has a camp modus meaning you can sleep in the car it keeps fresh air and good temperature, the Dog modus meaning you can keep your dog into the car, it keeps it aircondintioned and display a message so people know and dont crash the window to resque the dog hehe Then the all around cameras watch the surroundings and if someone touches your car it saves the footage onto a usb stick so you have evidence who did something . Actually many more features but this are the ones i think are important to mention also. finally the safety..it is the safest car in the world with 3 times 5+ stars and it will break or change direction when it sees a crash comming. It even sees 4 cars ahead if you could get a collision if they are crashing. The car saved me once to crash into an ambulance !
If you live in desert or cold winters, don't get a Tesla. If you cannot charge at home, don't get a Tesla. If you take lots of road trips, don't get a Tesla.
@@digitalsteel5 If it's anything like my iPhone, I'll have to say it about 4 or 5 times before it actually _does_ it! OK if you speak with a neutral accent I dare say, but throw some broad Geordie, Scouse, Welsh, Scottish or Brummie at it....🙄 I agree with the scarcity of videos on it's Voice Control features and would be a good feature for one of the various Tesla owning YT-ers to do - with a LARGE selection of sample accents - to either prove, or disprove, it's capabilities are up to it.
Great review! As a Petrolhead myself, I've never been convinced by Electric cars, but your honest review was very helpful. I like the idea of having a daily Tesla and a weekend 911 or equivalent. Great job as always!
@honesty_-no9he I own a Tesla and love it but 911 looks cooler has higher quality interior and gives handling and suspension that Tesla just doesn't. It's not all about speed. And while I'd never drive a gas car again (plus I don't have the money for a 911) I can appreciate why someone would want it. No need to hate.
#1 don't buy a tesla #2 don't buy anything with a German nameplate. The Z4 was one of the worst hunks of garbage ever sold. I thought it was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen until I saw a cybertruck.
10:58 - all settings get saved to the river profile. Adjust it once, and every time that person gets into the vehicle it automatically adjusts everything back to those settings. Talk about being faster and convenient.
Some more tidbits as a Tesla fan and owner. Theres no air suspension on model Y yet. Nut the new Model 3 Highland does and the next gen Model Y will. Voice commands are your friend. I recently bought a fridge (from a company that makes it specifically for the model Y) for the sub trunk which I fill with water, juice boxes, refrigerated snacks for the kids and still leaves space if I go to the store and want to keep things cool. Its amazing and a gamechanger for roadtrips. And its the best car for waiting for someone as you aren't idling while having a desired temp and being entertained. (Works great as I wait for my kids to get out of activities, school, etc.)
Bought one 3 weeks ago and it's great. I love tech so I'm not afraid of it being different. Handles fantastic since the center of gravity is so heavy and low plus the acceleration is insane. I've been riding an electric scooter since 2018 so the regen braking isn't a new thing for me to understand but does take a bit getting use to. My father and my neighbor Howard weren't interested. They both complained about it having too much tech and being overly complicated. However they both are in their mid 80's so I get the close mindedness.
22:01 my kids have never had a problem opening the doors! Thanks for having an objective view of the door handles rather than just faffing around and claiming they are dumb!
I'm glad you like the Model Y. I've had mine for 1-1/2 years. 1). If you link your phone to the car, you don't need that black card any more. You just open the car door. 2) I open the glove box by using the voice command "Open glove box". 3). I changed my wheel covers to plastic uberturbine- looking wheels to protect the wheels from road rash. There are cheap plastic add-ons to protect the wheels you have for your test vehicle. 4) If you could use Full Self Driving, you would be able to operate the controls on the display better. Typically, I tug on the steering wheel, then do my business on the display. Usually I'm done before FSD nags me to pay attention. 5) The all wheel drive car has noticeable advantages over the rear wheel drive you are testing. The all wheel drive car is much faster and works better in mud, rain, sand and snow plus regen braking is more powerful and somewhat better balanced. 6). When I got my white interior, I coated the interior with a ceramic coating and the interior still looks perfectly clean and new. 7) BTW, the Tesla Model Y is the safest car in the world based on US and European governmental testing.
Just ordered one of these on Tesla's amazing current PCP deal. Found your video really helpful about what to expect when it gets delivered in a few weeks. You have a nice, open and quite eloquent way of explaining things, so thanks!
We own an ioniq 5 awd (320bhp, 600nm, 4.7 0-60) and as somebody that considers myself a petrol head I was blown away first time driving electric, it’s just so useable for everyday driving, truly effortless, like it all hits home first time you drive up a steep incline, no changing of gears, completely unfazed and just flies up, overtaking is effortless. It’s very difficult to find downsides to the driving experience, I don’t even mind the lack of engine noise and I would always call them milk floats but when you drive these milk floats you just don’t care lol
Good down to earth review. First time seeing your channel. Own a dual motor Y in Montreal, Canada. Voice commands work extremely well on Tesla’s. So it’s not often you need to play with the screen while driving. My favourite is “open butthole” and the charge port door opens.
@@madmcadder4536 yes, if you press the „Honk“ in your Tesla, the last 10 minutes of dashcam footage will be saved on the USB Stick. If you don’t honk, nothing will get saved.
Bought my first new Tesla model S in 2018 leaving behind my C43 Coupe and have never looked back! Love it and bought a new model 3 for my wife last August and she loves hers. Also got my sister who did not like Tesla to buy a new Y and guess what…She and her husband loves it! My close friend also bought a model 3 for his wife and a few months later bought a new shape model 3 for his son and a new Y for his daughter. They all love them. Only ice car I would consider buying is a 911 as a second car as there’s something special about 911’s
I now own 2 Teslas - ‘22 Model 3, ‘23 Model Y and this is the first video of yours I’ve watched. Very enjoyable and appeared very honest first time experience in Tesla so thank you! All that you quickly became accustomed to I did as well and now I find myself telling people that as a daily drive and long trip drive the Tesla is both the easiest to drive, and can be so much fun at same time. Interestingly, i recently gave a ride to an 11yo and 9yo who never had ridden in a Tesla but they knew so much about it and were blown away with FSD and the car in general (these are future Tesla owners). Thanks again and I’ve subscribed! Best.
You’re easily one of the coolest people I’ve seen in a review. Really enjoyed this as I’m waiting for mine to be delivered.. Also I love how you don’t just completely shut out anything just because it’s new and different. That’s how it should be as it’s obvious before even buying a Tesla that it’s a unique and non traditional vehicle. People that are anti “new/different” should just stay away from the vehicle and keep their reviews to themselves. Not saying only people that like the features should post reviews but the people that think every single thing is stupid because it’s different and makes you adjust are annoying.
I have owned a Model 3 Long Range for 18 months. I have 23K miles and I love it! My biggest issues have all been addressed in the newest Model 3, which shows how Tesla is always improving! The SW updates keep every car current.
Awesome review. I have a Model Y long range and I absolutely love it. I do use the voice control feature a lot to control the inside temperature of the car, open the glove compartment, play music and a lot more as it's a lot safer to do so while driving the car.
The bottom bar on the screen is customizable. So you can place different shortcuts. For example, you can put your seat heater button down on the bottom bar so it's just always there.
The gears are the same as my Mercedes 4x4 & i think there in the best position ever, Id definitely consider a Model X if i changed my current vehicle, great video Lucy
Nothing as good as a good honest review! well-done! I am thinking of making the switch and was considering either the Y LR, or the Y Perf. I think I have now narrowed it down to the Perf. Just need to now make a decision on the colour....The Test drive that Telsa offers is so amazing...they are that sure of their products and the experience you get
@ginger-bread_man I didn't notice much of a difference but I test drove the performance once. I ended up buying long range but I don't remember much difference in comfort.
Almost everything is the same between LR and P except the power to overtake another vehicle. It is literally insane. The 21” wheels are standard on the P and curb rashes are far too easily to obtain in any shopping centres. ( scuff marks)
My boss knocked the purchase of a Tesla Y Rwd 194kw s/hand back this week gone, 'too posh' for us was the summary. It was amazing, the seats were the best i have ever sat in, the paint was of the highest quality. Amazing tech. Bugger! 😢
Great review, Lucy... I've had sports cars all my life starting with an Austin Healey 3000 MkIII, then RX7s, S2000s and Porsches. Loved them all, but in many ways the Healey was the best. Downshifting I always enjoy to control momentum and now my 23 MYLR is like driving around in 2nd gear like a true sports car... always in the right gear and perfect rpms. An absolute blast to drive! Trying free FSD now and very impressive. Don't love it in town, but on open roads... Wow! It's a great car.
Nice to have a new point of view on the Model Y. Thanks! BTW You can customize the bottom row of icons such as dragging the seat heaters there in the winter. Lotsa love to all from Toronto ❤❤❤
I had the 2019 model for nearly 5 years… not an issue, only servicing was change of the cabin filter. The new ‘highland’ model is amazing… please try the dual motor version… even more invert…
Switched from a BMW M3, when it was out of the shop, to the Tesla 3LR. Faster, significantly more reliable, and way better. It was like when I moved from PC to Mac. And FSD is a game changer. Especially in stop and go traffic, or long monotonous drives. Tremendous stress reliever.
Excellent video on the Tesla Y which I've now had for 18 months. I have had practically every car make in my lifetime and now would never go back to an ICE car.
I think you're right about the type of buyer for a Model Y - someone who's not that interested in cars but wants fun with practicality. I've had a Model Y Performance since last August, and while I have a BMW K1300s (motorcycle) for fun, I actually haven't driven it since I bought this car. The MY is a fantastic and weird combination of practicality and speed. It's like a 4-wheel motorcycle in terms of performance and range, but it's the most practical thing you could bring to a grocery store at the same time. I've been driving motorcycles since I was 17, and because of that, any performance car I'd ever driven wasn't as fast or as fun as a boring motorcycle, so I never looked for much fun in a car, just one that had enough performance to get out of its own way. (Driving a 1998 Ford Windstar for 15 years wasn't fun at all.) Now if I were to buy a 2nd EV, it would probably be the new Model 3 Performance, so I could have fun around corners as much as in a straight line. But for a mainly 1-car driver, it seems perfect.
Your experience somewhat mirrors mine. After four decades on motorcycles I sold my SV650 after buying an EV. Model 3 LR does everything I could want and makes long journeys effortless in a way I could never have imagined.
Drove the Y long range dual motor this last weekend. Brilliant piece of kit. Like you say, very different. Had the regeneration setting so everything was off the right foot, so off throttle it was stopping like under braking. Will be interesting to compare that with other EVs e.g. BMW iX xdrive 50. 🙂
I've had a Tesla Model 3 AWD Long Range for 4.5 years, and it's still fun to drive. Service consists of tire rotation, changing the cabin air filter every two years, and every four year check on battery coolant and brake fluid. On my four year check, the brakes were virtually like new, and the brake fluid was fine. I would recommend using voice commands for things like setting cabin temperature, wipers, seat heaters, Navigation, checking tire pressures, and numerous other settings, therefore avoiding using the touchscreen most of the time.
I’m so tempted to get the model Y. Love technology and this has to be the smartest car on the road. Never had an Hybrid never mind an EV. I have watched lots of vlogs now and with each one I get closer to pull the trigger. Great vlog ❤
if you get one, you'll need probably about 2 weeks of daily to everything become natural, now after 6 months I'm "changing" gears with stalk even in regular ICE cars :D
if you miss buttons you can get S3XY Knob, it takes the whole experience to another level, and it gets better over time as your Tesla with regular updates
I use my model Y LR as a taxi driver I removed the floor of the boot & the parcel shelf & the amount of luggage I can get in is as much as the large Skoda estate cars most of the other local taxi drivers use The Netflix/youtube/disney+ is amazing for me as I sit around in the car all day often waiting for work or waiting for passengers
Great review Lucy !!! I’m driving a 2015 Tesla Model S for the last year and absolutely LOVE it. Tesla’s Supercharger network is also a massive benefit over any other Electric car brand with charging prices 1/3 lower (in Ireland)
Lucy - If you want a sportier second car = The Model Y Performance can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. No more visits to a smelly petrol station. No more £5,50 a gallon. When you charge at home your car is 'full' every day, ready to go.
I’ve just ordered one on the unreal lease deal of 299 a month. Crazy bargain. Although mine will be 329 as I got that exact spec with the wheels and white interior. Will go alongside our Puma ST and replace my van.
11:34 for the heated seat, and many on screen buttons, you can change the apps that are always on the lower screen, I put my seat heat on that bar of apps, I never had to go into the HVAC menu sense, you can also turn the seat on and off with your voice!
A great review as always Lucy, I love your enthusiasm. The Tesla appears to have every gadget under the sun, except one for removing pesky insects from flying up the trouser leg of your camera man!
Heated seats , with many of the icons you can click and hold to create shortcuts that stay on the main screen. All very smart! Great review, we love our dual motor, its a great family car, my son loves it, it's so cheap to run... but as you say... as a petrol head, I still miss something ICE just for myself :)
I own a model 3 performance. Its a completely different beast to the standard and long range. Itll gap pretty much anything off the line and will do 160. Absolutely insane. Would advise a drive!
Not sure if full self driving is available in the UK, but that will completely blow your mind. Also if you want a be more drama, try the performance version.
Nice review! One thing to say about using phone as key is phone needs to be charged and Bluetooth needs to be on. So it was end of day, phone battery was low, I had switched off Bluetooth to save power, and completely forgot about it when I got to my car... luckily was carrying keycard as back up😅
Very nice review Lucy. I have a Model Y performance that does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds instead of the 6.5 you talked about. That makes it quite a fun car to drive. Ask Tesla to give you a performance model for just one day; I think you'll love it
nice review , i test drove the model y twin motor , i did like but somethings did not , dont like not having dials i front of me , would be ideal for head up display , in the end bought a demo skoda enyaq coupe vrs , think the ride is better and more like a real car inside , had for 3 months now and only spent less than £50 with octopus , only ever charged at home .. love it after owning 28 ice cars .
You do not need the long range version because you are doing long trips, the normal range version can go anywhere. You take the long range if your are doing long trips very often. And of course with the long range you also have AWD and more power.
Hi Lucy, first time viewer (sorry) and really enjoyed your insight to the Model Y RWD. I am 15 months in and absolutely thrilled with my experience thus far. From its intuative interface (yes alot trhrough the main screen butr there are short cuts through the l;eft stalk and buttons for immediate important stuff), the technology like prism LED lighting that hold full beam on and turns pixels off to throw cars coming towards you into shadow (and is geolocating so knows when it needs to move the beam on the otheside of the channel) through to the significantly cheaper cost to run. 31K miles has cost me a little over £1100 (something the Tesla App tracks for you) in comparison to ICE fuel at 45MPG would have been cost significantly more. I am a ltttle confused by the demonstrator they gave you as the RWD does not come with those wheels (clearly they are attractive so added them) but the standard ones are 255/45/19 instead of the 255/40/20. That slightly deeper profile on the standard offers a slightly softer ride still. As for next car, I would love to see what you thought of the Model 3 Performance, in the main as you enjoyed the instant acceleration of the standard car, the performance will proper excite you i suspect!
Last year I was torn between a Tesla or Lexus nx350hybrid; in America both have long wait times, they were overpriced with dealer markup (10%) if you order. Now they have gone down on price on full ev’s. So if I waited a few months, I could have gone for Tesla for the price and the functionality after watching your honest review.
Please try out the dual motor and then the perform model Y or 3 next. If you found the acceleration great in the Standard Range, the dual motor and performance models will blow your mind.
9:39 those seats wipe clean with a baby wipe, so two year olds are not a problem. I do find, however, that you are far more visible to other drivers and road users against the background of the white seats, it might be that it brightens the cabin more, but beware of sneaky nose maintenance or gesticulations!
Nice review, first impressions from someone who hasn't been driving a Tesla are great to see. You should try the new Model 3, it's a much sportier feel, especially the performance. Just on the card, that is only there as a backup. Your phone is the primary key so you never have to take it out of your pocket, you just jump in and drive.
I bought my 2016 Model S 60D with a max range of 218 miles. The battery was a 75kWh software limited and original cost to unlock the additional range to 259 miles was $9K, but about 3 months after I owned it and realized that 218 was enough for my commuting, they offered it for $2K and I paid to unlock it to a 75D. I drove it across the United States in 2019 using the Tesla Superchargers and it was a wonderful trip. I still get 233 miles full charge today and was thinking about driving it across country again in the future. It has FSD which has gotten crazy good with the latest versions, still need a human there, but I have to intervene less and less. My next car will be a Tesla and wish I could convince the wife to give up her 2014 Jeep Wily Unlimited for a Model Y or even a Model X.
haven't used cards ever, on my first day i used the app after transferring ownership. even lending it to my dad i gave him access via the app. and i remote started it once for the car wash guy . latest update have autoshift as well which make things even easier. these little things are not matched
The Tesla has a built-in 360 dash cam, driving or parked. Did she try autopilot? When FSD goes international, it is INSANE! She should try long range or performance if she likes fast cars. Try the M3 Performance!
You definitely want to try the long range, that’s fast and efficient The performance is obviously faster but the difference isn’t really worth it for the extra cost on a model y for the size I could see the point in getting the performance on the model 3, as that’s a saloon car and better suited to the sp ed of a performance model
I have a new Instagram page for my cars 👀 Search “Lucyoncars”
Nice ones in the vid 😈💯
Thanks for the review. Really helpful. Thinking of leasing one

@@danielheathcote5625 yea, but the person reviewing the car should know better.
Yeah, you just walk near the car and all doors unlock. Then just put it in drive and drive it. When you're done, just walk away and it locks itself.
@@anonymousfu exactly. And there is no need to press for the hand break. Except if parking in a steep hill ..... if even then
It also aligns your profile so seat, steering mirror position, will all auto set once you get in and press the brake pedal,
As for the acceleration, not long after getting a Model 3LR, I was traveling on a very curvy two lane road, and as one would expect, a tanker truck pulled out in the road ahead of me, slowing down my trip considerably. There is only one good straight strip to make a pass before reaching the town I was headed for, and when we got there I took a peek around the truck, saw a clear road, and floored it. I quickly cleared the truck, glanced at the speedometer, and about crapped myself when I saw it read 96 mph, when I had started the pass somewhere between 40 and 45 mph. I took my foot off the accelerator pedal and the regenerative braking was strong enough that I didn't have to touch the brakes in order to go through the rapidly approaching curve in the road. It's so nice having that burst of energy at your command.
Its amazing how you can just pick a spot on the road then point your steering wheel and be there in a second especially if you have the boost option on the LR or have the Performance model.
Just like a motorcycle.

I drove the new Tesla model 3 a few weeks ago, my first drive in any EV. What an amazing car, I'm a convert and will get rid of my BMW m135i next year and get a Tesla Model 3.
That's what I swapped my m135i for, 2 years in now on a model 3 and with a few mods, love it
This seems to be the trend. Welcome, my friend!
Happy electric motoring soon.
Same here. Had a BMW tried a Model 3 Performance. Sold the bimmer and I'm now on my second Tesla.
I have owned Tesla since 2020. The phone is your key, the car has on board training videos, there's an icon on the dash that looks like a car, press that and it has access to the glove compartment, windshield wipers and much more. Or use voice commands to open the glove box and anything else. There are levers on the side to lower the rear seats for 75 cubic feet of space. I have long range dual motors and it's my daily driver and long distance travel car. The sound system is awesome and I like the cruise control. I am glad you liked the car, for me everything is second nature to me now.
Thank you Lucy for a great video.
You're fun to listen too.
I just ordered one! Picking it up Monday!
Nice review !, i drive my Model Y Long Range for 2.5 years now and still love driving it. Some important things you missed...space in the frunk , in the nose hehe. The autopilot function, tap once for addaptive crouse control, tap twice for auto pilote meaning the car drives itself keeping it in the lane , i use it when i am tired or need to find things for routeplanning or so. Also you can do a preheating, nice in the winter it brings the interiour on the requested temperature and defrost the screens. then it has a camp modus meaning you can sleep in the car it keeps fresh air and good temperature, the Dog modus meaning you can keep your dog into the car, it keeps it aircondintioned and display a message so people know and dont crash the window to resque the dog hehe Then the all around cameras watch the surroundings and if someone touches your car it saves the footage onto a usb stick so you have evidence who did something . Actually many more features but this are the ones i think are important to mention also. finally the safety..it is the safest car in the world with 3 times 5+ stars and it will break or change direction when it sees a crash comming. It even sees 4 cars ahead if you could get a collision if they are crashing. The car saved me once to crash into an ambulance !
I'm a Tesla owner and will never go back. Love it.
If you live in desert or cold winters, don't get a Tesla.
If you cannot charge at home, don't get a Tesla.
If you take lots of road trips, don't get a Tesla.
@@DerekDavis213sure…😂 if you live behind the moon don’t get a tesla. If you live in russia don’t get a tesla… if you work for BMW don’t get a Tesla…
@@DerekDavis213 haha you’ve been crying all over the place. Where did Mr. Tesla hurt you? 🤣
@@DerekDavis213 That means 60% of the population can get Teslas. Should keep their plants busy for a very long time.
@@diamond_h0us The Tesla plants are busy making cars, that people are *not* *buying* . Sales are way down.
Just press the scroll button and say "temperature 19°" or "heated seat on" or.... *Anything* you use when you're driving.
100%. I never see anyone talk about the voice assistant in TH-cam videos. Like the glovebox, Just say "Open Glovebox".
@@digitalsteel5 If it's anything like my iPhone, I'll have to say it about 4 or 5 times before it actually _does_ it! OK if you speak with a neutral accent I dare say, but throw some broad Geordie, Scouse, Welsh, Scottish or Brummie at it....🙄 I agree with the scarcity of videos on it's Voice Control features and would be a good feature for one of the various Tesla owning YT-ers to do - with a LARGE selection of sample accents - to either prove, or disprove, it's capabilities are up to it.
Great review! As a Petrolhead myself, I've never been convinced by Electric cars, but your honest review was very helpful. I like the idea of having a daily Tesla and a weekend 911 or equivalent.
Great job as always!
Why do you need a 911 when an EV for half the price can wipe the floor with a 911 and leave it dickless?
@honesty_-no9he I own a Tesla and love it but 911 looks cooler has higher quality interior and gives handling and suspension that Tesla just doesn't. It's not all about speed. And while I'd never drive a gas car again (plus I don't have the money for a 911) I can appreciate why someone would want it. No need to hate.
It’s the best selling car in the world for a reason.
Toyota Camry outsold the Model 3 in 2023. And for many good reasons.
@@DerekDavis213 it’s the model Y.
@@DerekDavis213 Please follow along before commenting. This is the Model Y.
@@geoffreyjones6019 Model Y and Model 3 are brothers.

@@DerekDavis213get your facts straight, have you heard of google? Model Y is the best selling car in 2023, it beat the corolla.
By far the best car on earth 😊.. people hating on it don’t know what it is, I always thought my BMW z4 is unbeatable car I owned but Tesla changed me
테슬라 차에 대해 편견에 사로잡힌 사람들이 테슬라를 타게 되면 자신이 지금까지 오해했다는 것을 깨닫게 됩니다. 그리고 테슬라를 좋아하게 됩니다.이제는 내연차로 돌아가지 않을거야 . 내가 왜 테슬라를 이제서야 알았지? 정말 똑똑하고 안전한 차라고 좋아하게. 됩니다.😊
#1 don't buy a tesla #2 don't buy anything with a German nameplate. The Z4 was one of the worst hunks of garbage ever sold. I thought it was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen until I saw a cybertruck.
When will the hater learn. We don't care what others think when spending our money.
@@LaJuanHughes You should care, tsla was made possible by government handouts.
10:58 - all settings get saved to the river profile. Adjust it once, and every time that person gets into the vehicle it automatically adjusts everything back to those settings. Talk about being faster and convenient.
Some more tidbits as a Tesla fan and owner. Theres no air suspension on model Y yet. Nut the new Model 3 Highland does and the next gen Model Y will.
Voice commands are your friend.
I recently bought a fridge (from a company that makes it specifically for the model Y) for the sub trunk which I fill with water, juice boxes, refrigerated snacks for the kids and still leaves space if I go to the store and want to keep things cool. Its amazing and a gamechanger for roadtrips.
And its the best car for waiting for someone as you aren't idling while having a desired temp and being entertained. (Works great as I wait for my kids to get out of activities, school, etc.)
The new m3 does not have air suspension, but it has been significantly improved according to reviews.
Great to see a reviewer for the everyday driver. The general public still knows next to nothing about evs. Thanks!
Bought one 3 weeks ago and it's great. I love tech so I'm not afraid of it being different. Handles fantastic since the center of gravity is so heavy and low plus the acceleration is insane. I've been riding an electric scooter since 2018 so the regen braking isn't a new thing for me to understand but does take a bit getting use to. My father and my neighbor Howard weren't interested. They both complained about it having too much tech and being overly complicated. However they both are in their mid 80's so I get the close mindedness.
Voice commands are a huge help. No need to stress over the screen while driving. Can even change wiper settings by voice.
22:01 my kids have never had a problem opening the doors! Thanks for having an objective view of the door handles rather than just faffing around and claiming they are dumb!
I'm glad you like the Model Y. I've had mine for 1-1/2 years. 1). If you link your phone to the car, you don't need that black card any more. You just open the car door. 2) I open the glove box by using the voice command "Open glove box". 3). I changed my wheel covers to plastic uberturbine- looking wheels to protect the wheels from road rash. There are cheap plastic add-ons to protect the wheels you have for your test vehicle. 4) If you could use Full Self Driving, you would be able to operate the controls on the display better. Typically, I tug on the steering wheel, then do my business on the display. Usually I'm done before FSD nags me to pay attention. 5) The all wheel drive car has noticeable advantages over the rear wheel drive you are testing. The all wheel drive car is much faster and works better in mud, rain, sand and snow plus regen braking is more powerful and somewhat better balanced. 6). When I got my white interior, I coated the interior with a ceramic coating and the interior still looks perfectly clean and new. 7) BTW, the Tesla Model Y is the safest car in the world based on US and European governmental testing.
Just ordered one of these on Tesla's amazing current PCP deal. Found your video really helpful about what to expect when it gets delivered in a few weeks. You have a nice, open and quite eloquent way of explaining things, so thanks!
We own an ioniq 5 awd (320bhp, 600nm, 4.7 0-60) and as somebody that considers myself a petrol head I was blown away first time driving electric, it’s just so useable for everyday driving, truly effortless, like it all hits home first time you drive up a steep incline, no changing of gears, completely unfazed and just flies up, overtaking is effortless. It’s very difficult to find downsides to the driving experience, I don’t even mind the lack of engine noise and I would always call them milk floats but when you drive these milk floats you just don’t care lol
Good down to earth review. First time seeing your channel. Own a dual motor Y in Montreal, Canada. Voice commands work extremely well on Tesla’s. So it’s not often you need to play with the screen while driving. My favourite is “open butthole” and the charge port door opens.
That’s really funny. You’re advertising a dash cam while sitting in a car that has eight cameras recording everything that happens in detail. 😊
and not even mentioning it. Tesla is well superior to the product she is advertising
Hahaha 😂 I thought exactly the same
Very good.....I wonder do the Teslas cameras record your journey?
@@madmcadder4536 yes, if you press the „Honk“ in your Tesla, the last 10 minutes of dashcam footage will be saved on the USB Stick. If you don’t honk, nothing will get saved.
Nice work Lucy !! Loved the detailed descriptions of features and screen operations.
Bought my first new Tesla model S in 2018 leaving behind my C43 Coupe and have never looked back! Love it and bought a new model 3 for my wife last August and she loves hers.
Also got my sister who did not like Tesla to buy a new Y and guess what…She and her husband loves it!
My close friend also bought a model 3 for his wife and a few months later bought a new shape model 3 for his son and a new Y for his daughter. They all love them.
Only ice car I would consider buying is a 911 as a second car as there’s something special about 911’s
I now own 2 Teslas - ‘22 Model 3, ‘23 Model Y and this is the first video of yours I’ve watched. Very enjoyable and appeared very honest first time experience in Tesla so thank you! All that you quickly became accustomed to I did as well and now I find myself telling people that as a daily drive and long trip drive the Tesla is both the easiest to drive, and can be so much fun at same time. Interestingly, i recently gave a ride to an 11yo and 9yo who never had ridden in a Tesla but they knew so much about it and were blown away with FSD and the car in general (these are future Tesla owners). Thanks again and I’ve subscribed! Best.
Great video. Not sure if I could get on with the overly clinical interior but I haven't driven one (yet).
You’re easily one of the coolest people I’ve seen in a review. Really enjoyed this as I’m waiting for mine to be delivered.. Also I love how you don’t just completely shut out anything just because it’s new and different. That’s how it should be as it’s obvious before even buying a Tesla that it’s a unique and non traditional vehicle. People that are anti “new/different” should just stay away from the vehicle and keep their reviews to themselves. Not saying only people that like the features should post reviews but the people that think every single thing is stupid because it’s different and makes you adjust are annoying.
I have owned a Model 3 Long Range for 18 months. I have 23K miles and I love it! My biggest issues have all been addressed in the newest Model 3, which shows how Tesla is always improving! The SW updates keep every car current.
I'm a petrolhead through but currently daily an I3, soon to swapped for a MY. Electric cars make for great dailies, just get in and go.
My older sister had a 1967 Ford Mustang, so pushing with the thumb and pulling the handle with the rest of the hand is perfectly natural for me.
That space under the boot is perfect for backup charging equipment, tire inflator, and the other kinds of things you might keep in a car full time.
Awesome review. I have a Model Y long range and I absolutely love it. I do use the voice control feature a lot to control the inside temperature of the car, open the glove compartment, play music and a lot more as it's a lot safer to do so while driving the car.
You are so right! We have our MY for over a year and have no complaints, etc, etc
The bottom bar on the screen is customizable. So you can place different shortcuts. For example, you can put your seat heater button down on the bottom bar so it's just always there.
The gears are the same as my Mercedes 4x4 & i think there in the best position ever, Id definitely consider a Model X if i changed my current vehicle, great video Lucy
Nothing as good as a good honest review! well-done! I am thinking of making the switch and was considering either the Y LR, or the Y Perf. I think I have now narrowed it down to the Perf. Just need to now make a decision on the colour....The Test drive that Telsa offers is so amazing...they are that sure of their products and the experience you get
I got the LR for the extra miles but after driving for a while i could easily choose performance now. My range anxiety is pretty much gone.
@@zenbyo Which gives a more comfortable/cushy ride, the LR or P?
@ginger-bread_man I didn't notice much of a difference but I test drove the performance once. I ended up buying long range but I don't remember much difference in comfort.
Almost everything is the same between LR and P except the power to overtake another vehicle. It is literally insane. The 21” wheels are standard on the P and curb rashes are far too easily to obtain in any shopping centres. ( scuff marks)
@@zenbyoLR has fatter tyres so a bit softer ride. Still on the firm side though.
My boss knocked the purchase of a Tesla Y Rwd 194kw s/hand back this week gone, 'too posh' for us was the summary. It was amazing, the seats were the best i have ever sat in, the paint was of the highest quality. Amazing tech. Bugger! 😢
Great review, Lucy... I've had sports cars all my life starting with an Austin Healey 3000 MkIII, then RX7s, S2000s and Porsches. Loved them all, but in many ways the Healey was the best. Downshifting I always enjoy to control momentum and now my 23 MYLR is like driving around in 2nd gear like a true sports car... always in the right gear and perfect rpms. An absolute blast to drive! Trying free FSD now and very impressive. Don't love it in town, but on open roads... Wow! It's a great car.
Shame it doesn't handle and has no endurance
Nice to have a new point of view on the Model Y. Thanks! BTW You can customize the bottom row of icons such as dragging the seat heaters there in the winter. Lotsa love to all from Toronto ❤❤❤
I had the 2019 model for nearly 5 years… not an issue, only servicing was change of the cabin filter. The new ‘highland’ model is amazing… please try the dual motor version… even more invert…
Switched from a BMW M3, when it was out of the shop, to the Tesla 3LR. Faster, significantly more reliable, and way better. It was like when I moved from PC to Mac.
And FSD is a game changer. Especially in stop and go traffic, or long monotonous drives. Tremendous stress reliever.
Excellent video on the Tesla Y which I've now had for 18 months. I have had practically every car make in my lifetime and now would never go back to an ICE car.
I think you're right about the type of buyer for a Model Y - someone who's not that interested in cars but wants fun with practicality. I've had a Model Y Performance since last August, and while I have a BMW K1300s (motorcycle) for fun, I actually haven't driven it since I bought this car. The MY is a fantastic and weird combination of practicality and speed. It's like a 4-wheel motorcycle in terms of performance and range, but it's the most practical thing you could bring to a grocery store at the same time. I've been driving motorcycles since I was 17, and because of that, any performance car I'd ever driven wasn't as fast or as fun as a boring motorcycle, so I never looked for much fun in a car, just one that had enough performance to get out of its own way. (Driving a 1998 Ford Windstar for 15 years wasn't fun at all.) Now if I were to buy a 2nd EV, it would probably be the new Model 3 Performance, so I could have fun around corners as much as in a straight line. But for a mainly 1-car driver, it seems perfect.
Your experience somewhat mirrors mine. After four decades on motorcycles I sold my SV650 after buying an EV. Model 3 LR does everything I could want and makes long journeys effortless in a way I could never have imagined.
Drove the Y long range dual motor this last weekend. Brilliant piece of kit. Like you say, very different. Had the regeneration setting so everything was off the right foot, so off throttle it was stopping like under braking. Will be interesting to compare that with other EVs e.g. BMW iX xdrive 50. 🙂
I've had a Tesla Model 3 AWD Long Range for 4.5 years, and it's still fun to drive. Service consists of tire rotation, changing the cabin air filter every two years, and every four year check on battery coolant and brake fluid. On my four year check, the brakes were virtually like new, and the brake fluid was fine. I would recommend using voice commands for things like setting cabin temperature, wipers, seat heaters, Navigation, checking tire pressures, and numerous other settings, therefore avoiding using the touchscreen most of the time.
I’m so tempted to get the model Y. Love technology and this has to be the smartest car on the road. Never had an Hybrid never mind an EV. I have watched lots of vlogs now and with each one I get closer to pull the trigger. Great vlog ❤
if you get one, you'll need probably about 2 weeks of daily to everything become natural, now after 6 months I'm "changing" gears with stalk even in regular ICE cars :D
if you miss buttons you can get S3XY Knob, it takes the whole experience to another level, and it gets better over time as your Tesla with regular updates
I use my model Y LR as a taxi driver
I removed the floor of the boot & the parcel shelf & the amount of luggage I can get in is as much as the large Skoda estate cars most of the other local taxi drivers use
The Netflix/youtube/disney+ is amazing for me as I sit around in the car all day often waiting for work or waiting for passengers
You should ask for the new Model 3 Performance next.
You can add shortcuts like heated seats, steering wheel (climate in general) at the bottom of the screen so you don't have to dig through menus.
Don't be afraid to buy the white seats. I've had it for years and it's been amazingly resilient.
I've been rough on mine & they hold up well,
Thanks for the honest review. Btw, you want "sporty"? Try the performance model. I think you'll find it.
On.off.on.off like a big kid lol. I'd be the same though 😂
Great review Lucy !!! I’m driving a 2015 Tesla Model S for the last year and absolutely LOVE it. Tesla’s Supercharger network is also a massive benefit over any other Electric car brand with charging prices 1/3 lower (in Ireland)
Lucy - If you want a sportier second car = The Model Y Performance can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
No more visits to a smelly petrol station.
No more £5,50 a gallon.
When you charge at home your car is 'full' every day, ready to go.
You can drag shorcuts down to the main bottom bar, such as the heated seats.
Just placed an order for a Y7 Tesla. Hope it's approved. Great video.
Great honest review Lucy !
I’ve just ordered one on the unreal lease deal of 299 a month. Crazy bargain. Although mine will be 329 as I got that exact spec with the wheels and white interior. Will go alongside our Puma ST and replace my van.
11:34 for the heated seat, and many on screen buttons, you can change the apps that are always on the lower screen, I put my seat heat on that bar of apps, I never had to go into the HVAC menu sense, you can also turn the seat on and off with your voice!
A great review as always Lucy, I love your enthusiasm.
The Tesla appears to have every gadget under the sun, except one for removing pesky insects from flying up the trouser leg of your camera man!
Heated seats , with many of the icons you can click and hold to create shortcuts that stay on the main screen. All very smart! Great review, we love our dual motor, its a great family car, my son loves it, it's so cheap to run... but as you say... as a petrol head, I still miss something ICE just for myself :)
Love them or hate them for whatever reason, one thing is certain. They are a lot of fun to drive.
Regarding looking for buttons through the touchscreen, eg heated seats, you can you use voice commands too!
Also once you own the car and set your profile you don't have to change the settings it adjusts when you get in.
I own a model 3 performance. Its a completely different beast to the standard and long range. Itll gap pretty much anything off the line and will do 160. Absolutely insane. Would advise a drive!
Not sure if full self driving is available in the UK, but that will completely blow your mind. Also if you want a be more drama, try the performance version.
I'm very happy with my Renault Zoe GT, but I'm looking forward to trying a model Y at the everything electric Show in Harrogate on the 26th May
Isn’t there a boot in the front as well? Why didn’t you get in to it?
Nice review! One thing to say about using phone as key is phone needs to be charged and Bluetooth needs to be on. So it was end of day, phone battery was low, I had switched off Bluetooth to save power, and completely forgot about it when I got to my car... luckily was carrying keycard as back up😅
Heated seats come on automatically depending on ambient temperature and pressure in the seat. You don't have to turn them on or off.
Very nice review Lucy. I have a Model Y performance that does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds instead of the 6.5 you talked about. That makes it quite a fun car to drive. Ask Tesla to give you a performance model for just one day; I think you'll love it
good honest review had my M Y for two years still love it ps it has a frunk
nice review , i test drove the model y twin motor , i did
like but somethings did not , dont like not having dials
i front of me , would be ideal for head up display ,
in the end bought a demo skoda enyaq coupe vrs ,
think the ride is better and more like a real car inside ,
had for 3 months now and only spent less than £50
with octopus , only ever charged at home ..
love it after owning 28 ice cars .
Love mine , has a built in dash cam though...
You do not need the long range version because you are doing long trips, the normal range version can go anywhere. You take the long range if your are doing long trips very often. And of course with the long range you also have AWD and more power.
Hi Lucy, first time viewer (sorry) and really enjoyed your insight to the Model Y RWD. I am 15 months in and absolutely thrilled with my experience thus far. From its intuative interface (yes alot trhrough the main screen butr there are short cuts through the l;eft stalk and buttons for immediate important stuff), the technology like prism LED lighting that hold full beam on and turns pixels off to throw cars coming towards you into shadow (and is geolocating so knows when it needs to move the beam on the otheside of the channel) through to the significantly cheaper cost to run. 31K miles has cost me a little over £1100 (something the Tesla App tracks for you) in comparison to ICE fuel at 45MPG would have been cost significantly more.
I am a ltttle confused by the demonstrator they gave you as the RWD does not come with those wheels (clearly they are attractive so added them) but the standard ones are 255/45/19 instead of the 255/40/20. That slightly deeper profile on the standard offers a slightly softer ride still.
As for next car, I would love to see what you thought of the Model 3 Performance, in the main as you enjoyed the instant acceleration of the standard car, the performance will proper excite you i suspect!
Last year I was torn between a Tesla or Lexus nx350hybrid; in America both have long wait times, they were overpriced with dealer markup (10%) if you order. Now they have gone down on price on full ev’s. So if I waited a few months, I could have gone for Tesla for the price and the functionality after watching your honest review.
Please try out the dual motor and then the perform model Y or 3 next. If you found the acceleration great in the Standard Range, the dual motor and performance models will blow your mind.
9:39 those seats wipe clean with a baby wipe, so two year olds are not a problem. I do find, however, that you are far more visible to other drivers and road users against the background of the white seats, it might be that it brightens the cabin more, but beware of sneaky nose maintenance or gesticulations!
Short answer, they are amazing, best car you will ever drive
14:07 you can also take 2 fingers and split the airflow! I have mine split and go on both sides of me all the way down, cools/warms my legs 😅
Lucy, glad to see you back with another car review
Nice review, first impressions from someone who hasn't been driving a Tesla are great to see. You should try the new Model 3, it's a much sportier feel, especially the performance.
Just on the card, that is only there as a backup. Your phone is the primary key so you never have to take it out of your pocket, you just jump in and drive.
Only thing I wish they improved is the suspension it’s horrible and they must know that
It is excellent, and car has a good look
Front (Frunk) and under boot storage spaces ha a plethora of uses as well as aftermarket accessories like fridges etc
I bought my 2016 Model S 60D with a max range of 218 miles. The battery was a 75kWh software limited and original cost to unlock the additional range to 259 miles was $9K, but about 3 months after I owned it and realized that 218 was enough for my commuting, they offered it for $2K and I paid to unlock it to a 75D. I drove it across the United States in 2019 using the Tesla Superchargers and it was a wonderful trip. I still get 233 miles full charge today and was thinking about driving it across country again in the future. It has FSD which has gotten crazy good with the latest versions, still need a human there, but I have to intervene less and less. My next car will be a Tesla and wish I could convince the wife to give up her 2014 Jeep Wily Unlimited for a Model Y or even a Model X.
haven't used cards ever, on my first day i used the app after transferring ownership.
even lending it to my dad i gave him access via the app.
and i remote started it once for the car wash guy .
latest update have autoshift as well which make things even easier.
these little things are not matched
The Tesla has a built-in 360 dash cam, driving or parked.
Did she try autopilot?
When FSD goes international, it is INSANE!
She should try long range or performance if she likes fast cars.
Try the M3 Performance!
Superb review, ahead of a demo drive. Many thanks
You definitely want to try the long range, that’s fast and efficient
The performance is obviously faster but the difference isn’t really worth it for the extra cost on a model y for the size
I could see the point in getting the performance on the model 3, as that’s a saloon car and better suited to the sp ed of a performance model
Excellent review Lucy
