Model Y Review 50,000 miles - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

I took delivery of a LR MY with the standard 19” Gemini wheels on Halloween of 2021. I was concerned about everything I had heard about ride and build quality. I have 14,500 miles on it now and I’m happy to report I have had zero issues with build quality and find the ride quality comfortable and quiet. It seems the quality of the newer models are much better. This is by far the best car I’ve ever owned. Don’t let negative comments dissuade you from considering this car.
I too purchased a Model Y in Oct of 2021 with a 2019 Model 3 trade in. The Model Y build quality was much better. I could find no body defects even after my super perfectionist son-in-law looked at the car for a long time. The new Teslas just keep getting better.
Yea! I’m gettin my LRMY in September. Can’t wait
Did you notice any rust on any part of the car? I've read that there can be rust on the sides and between the trunk and rear bumper and want to hear how often that actually occurs
@@phantomth13f15 I'm not 100% sure, but I think that they are mostly Aluminium so shouldn't be having issues with corrosion, unless there is severe stone chipping down to base metal
@@phantomth13f15 this is my third Tesla and I’ve never noticed any rust anywhere on any of them.
Ryan -thanks for another great review! I must agree with you 100% on ride quality. I now drive a 2022 MY, but previously owned a 2021 standard range MY and a 2019 long range M3. Getting those smaller wheels really helps!
Got my LR MY in mid 2020. Vin number is in 9000s. Only adjustment done thru the mobile service was the frunk alignment. No issues since then. Now the car has 27K miles with many multi-states trips. Auto pilot/FSD beta really makes long road trip stress free. Best car I ever have (had Acura, BMW and Lexus ES Hybrid before).
You are perfect. Your car reviews are second to none. Amazing job.
Model Y owner with 25k miles. Good build quality and not one maintenance shop visit. Love my FSD. Love how it handles.
Love our LR MY 7 seat. One year now. 19k miles. Love it. Love that we didn’t wait to buy. We were able to purchase it at 49,990 base price. I believe just 1 week before it started increasing the price. No issues. Still looks and feels new. Best car ever. So smooth and fast. ♥️
I have a China made long range RHD Model Y here in the UK and it's awesome! My first EV.
Great video….took delivery of my LR Model Y in December….the fit and finish is perfect
Great review Ryan, I’m loving my 2022 Model Y Performance! (Red/White, Fremont build) 🔥🔥🔥
Great information, felt very balanced and genuine
Thanks Ryan. I appreciate your informative and entertaining videos. Excited to get my MYLR Blue/white sometime in the next 14-60+ days?
I took possession of my Performance Y on March 31, 2020. It was one of the first 1500 and because it was no contact pick up, I learned just about everything I know about the car on TH-cam. Much of it from you, Ryan. A big thank you. Oh, and I agree on the FSD. I regularly question spending the money on it.
Love the videos Ryan! What mic do you use it’s amazing!
Nicely done Ryan. Any chance you could relate experiences with making your Model Y available on Turo?
Totaly agree with the suspension point!
Totally agree, Ryan, about the Model Y being the best SUV type I've had. My delivery of a 2022 LR car was easy and quick. They cleaned a small dirt spot on the interior right there, no service call needed. The careful walk around turned up no exterior and only one minor interior problem for which I'm still awaiting mobile service. The mobile service has been delayed 3 times due to parts being unavailable but eventually they'll get it done. Ride is still choppy but then my old Prius is just as bad and the roads I drive are not all smooth freeways. We have a road trip coming up and it will be a good test of AP and FSD subscription. Charging will be easy except for our usual route through the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. We may be able to use a charge point station or we may re-route through Gallup, we'll see. Thanks and drive safely.
Well presented and informative. 👍👌
Could you actually make a full video on the Tesla app? i am receiving my Model Y this friday. You're the best youtube tesla channel because of how clear and concise you are. i would really like to see your walkthrough of all the app features.
Thanks for the timely review. We just ordered our model y long range with 19 inch wheels last week. Delivery between November 22 and February 23. We are very excited. I would love to get THE email saying our model y is ready for delivery, but, back to reality. We'll get it when we get it.
Ryan, love the vids, what was your charging limit on everyday charging throughout these two year? have you noticed any battery decline?
Absolutely agree with Ryan about point #3, my 2021 Model Y's ride is lousy. Still, overall my MY has delivered on all it's other positive aspects. Good to hear the other Tesla models ride are at least better than the Y's.
Excellent review Ryan. Thanks for sharing.
After two years (VIN is sub-600), I would buy another Tesla (probably a MS), but not likely the Model Y.
*The ride is TOO stiff. (I’m swapping out the 20” wheels for TSportline 19” wheels next week. 🤞🏻 )
* FSD and Autopilot is not safe enough for prime time. My passengers are genuinely scared at some point in every ride that FSD is used. Autopilot, is great 90% of the time, and I use it daily. That remaining 10% is terrifying for passengers.
* I want a display in front of the driver, and I want more tactile knobs.
* I desperately wish they’d add CarPlay support; or at least my primary apps used when I drive (PocketCasts, Amazon Music, TH-cam Music).
That said, I love driving the MY. I love one-foot driving. I love the legroom and comfort (as long as it’s not moving). I love the storage space. I love never filling up a gas tank. I generally like the on-screen UI.
Your review was great, however I would add the blind spot mirror system to be right behind the ride quality as the top two issues. Commonly used bsm mirrors used on many ice cars work so much better than looking at the camera view on the screen. I really wish there was a third party replacement available for this. Like many people, I would gladly purchase them.
Just took delivery of a May 22 build Model Y with 20" wheels. Leased our model 3 in March '21 and loved it so much ordered Y in September for spouse. Midnight Silver on White with tow hitch and upgraded wheels. I find car's ride firm but very comfortable. Tight as a drum. Smooth and fast as a bullet train. I'm coming from 3 series BMW with sport package and Jag F type (sport) and Mini Cooper S (sport) so I was def not hoping for a luxo boat ride but also didn't want jarring banging ride in car which is destined to be our long term road trip vehicle. Very pleased. Storage epic compared to M3. Extra range going to be very handy on So Cal trip to midwest this summer.
I’m at 30K on my MYLR. Having turned down the one that was offered to me the week before you got yours, I got one from the first week after Fremont reopened. The worst problem I’ve had was a auto park backing into my garage and scraping the side mirror and the front driver fender flare. Luckily, I had PPF, so no underlying problem to the paint. We’ve taken it from Atlanta to Lake Superior (2500+/- miles) and Washington DC (2000K +/-). No problems on either trip. This week we’re headed out to the Grand Canyon then Yellowstone, then Mt. Rushmore (6000+/- miles). Hope our luck lasts!
I've had my 2021 MY since October '21. I'm slowly realizing just how much I can do things via voice command.. "Set Fan Speed 5" and the fan speed drops to 5. I can turn on seat heaters. Would you please make a video on all of these voice commands? It's not that hard to do and keeps the driver "heads up"
Best EV yet, just the price has to come WAY down and add what my second fav EV Ioniq 5 has: paddles for regen, head up display/ regular speedometer range display in front of driver, Apple/Android phone mirroring, regular glove box handle, panoramic roof interior shade , 360 camera view ( not just sensors) Satellite delivered SiriusXM . Accelerator pedal actuated car sounds at least in the interior. Reverse charging ability (vehicle to load)
You won me over by listening to John Mayer Trio. God I hope they make another album lol. Ordered by Model Y in February 2022. I am excited. Thanks for the review.
love the videos so much i watch all of them. i recently leased a tesla and i wish u could talk abt the process of selling your tesla. also if u lease like i did, how does it work to possibly buy during or at the end of the lease, then sell - and should you? thank!
Excellent, thanks for all the honest assessment. When I can EVENTUALLY get my Model Y in Australian form, I might change over the tyres first to maybe 18’s as I have no need have high performance driving capabilities. My current heavy station wagon is fast and powerful on 16” tyres and drives as hard as I need. So 18’s would be even better but softer than 19” tyres. And I have a friend who designs and builds suspension kits for race cars. So I’ll get him to make me a very comfortable set of springs!
I love how you are still so enthusiastic, even though you have your cursed Y. 😉 It is the car I plan to buy as soon as I can afford. I wish that Tesla has improved suspension by then. Thanks for a great video.
My vin is 10xx March 2020 build. I’ve had multiple visits for mostly cosmetic issues and a squeaky control arm. Almost 30k miles and it’s a great car. Small issues are frustrating and service centers aren’t always reliable with their repairs.
My 2022 MY from Shanghai also ride bumpy even on 19” wheels. Spotify is buggy as well but I’ve been a Spotify subscriber for 12 years so I’ll hope I can wait it out. Like you I really enjoy most things about the car.
Ryan, your video confirms my thoughts____Model Y ticks the most boxes of all. Thanks for being so up frunk about 'The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly'
I still wish it felt more “Premium” they could of added HUD, Vented front seats and Alcantara instead of the gray fabric for 65+K
I hpoe to see how whole drum set fit in to the model Y.
I’m really curious as a drummer my self.
I was interested in a Model Y at $50,000, but I have no interest at nearly $70,000 when I can buy a Chevy Equinox for less than $35,000. I will never drive enough miles to recover the 2X price difference.
Chevy just discontinued the equinox
I.C.E. cars are better for those who do not drive much. An E.V. will wear out due to callander aging.
Good point about full charged regen, LFP VS NCA, I assume "strange" regen characteristics will be more common on LFP since people will top them off more commonly?
Possible this has been tested or documented anywhere to better understand the characteristics?
Anyone know about delivery delays? (I know delivery times change often) I ordered a Model Y LR back in Nov 2021, dates jumped around a little here and there but for the most part it remained the same. It was suppose to be May 27 - June 14 out of no where today it now changed to Nov 2022 - February 2023.
Great video as usual, always enjoy your comments. My model y was may 2020 and the build quality was very good only misalignment was rear hatch. My main complaint is range full charge is good for 189 to 191 this is consistent on long trips or in town. Service dept said that is the norm for long range. Curious if you feel that is incorrect. Thanks
my Y will do 1-1 (miles to battery miles) at about 65MPH. however it drops off quickly doing 78 MPH will cost 140 battery miles per 100 miles. thus 200 miles will cost 280 battery miles, with the LR model is 326 miles.
@@richardscott8305 thanks for the input, I usually keep the speed under 65 and tend to get about 60%of estimated miles. Appreciate the response thanks again 👍
You video so spot on. I got mine in October 2020. Other than a misalignment issue, I didn’t find any other issues.
I live in apartment and I don’t have any charging stations at the place. So I use the superchargers or I charge at chargepoint when I’m shopping. So this inconvenience and the prices going for used car, I thought of selling my Model Y and getting an luxury ICE car. Keeping the rising gas prices aside none of the ICE has features comparable to Y. Even for the things that comes as standard for Y, I have pay extra for the same in an ICE car and the prices shoots up if I included those. That is keeping me away from buying ICE cars.
Supercharger is another thing That is keeping me way from selling this and buying another EV. The charging prices are high other EVs. Which would cost somewhat similar to riding a gas car.
The Wait is Real. Still waiting 7 months
I missed the plus and minus for the temperature change on the AC and heating unit, you have to get it just right to where you want it if you hit too far up it goes too far up be too far down it goes too far down, I really missed a plus and minus to the heating and cooling unit, It takes your attention off the road too much to get it right instead of being on one side and the other
Can you do a video on your Tesla rental fleet?
Renting the model Y that was very weird to me and didn’t understand why the regen wasn’t consistent but now I know and makes sense
Does the app tell you that your battery coverage is under warranty for another 8 years? Thanks for the videos!
3:40 interesting point on the regen compared to charge level.
As a tesla employee out of California, I’m very curious to drive a. 4680 built model Y since I know the ride quality is pretty bad although if you have the regular wheels V.S. The sport wheels it’s better but still bad. I don’t have a tesla but am looking to get one soon. I like the model Y because I like crossover SUVs but the right quality is the biggest deciding factor for me.
It's pretty funny that a lot of the comments on your Model Y review are from owners of a Model Y. Shows you how obsessed we are with our cars! :) (Written by yet another owner of a Model Y and a Model 3) A few points I'll add:
1. The blind spot monitor should have an indicator on the mirrors themselves. This is a pretty major missing feature and seems like it would be an easy fix.
2. The lack of Apple Car Play or Android Auto isn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be (but I still wish it was an option).
3. Most of the QC issues I found on mine were nitpicky and I likely wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't looking for them because of the reputation of Tesla (I later found that my Toyota had similar minor fit and finish issues when I went looking for them).
4. I'm tall, 6 foot 4, and find the car extremely comfortable. It's much better than my model 3 (which my wife took over as a result).
should i order the model Y now or wait for the new 4680 battery? what are your thoughts? maybe do a video on this subject?
Hey Ryan- we need you to do a video on the recent development regarding the Model 3 and deliveries showing up in the last couple of days with the older style headlights in place of the newer matrix style! A bunch of people are reporting M3s arriving without warning regarding the negative feature change and without many even realizing it until too late. . . Need to get the word out to put the pressure on Tesla to reverse this decision,or at least give us a fair heads up about it for those of us who are about to take delivery and were expecting the feature. Way bigger deal IMO then the loss of the included mobile charger . . .thanks!
I wish it had more ground clearance for those of us living in snow country. My Equinox is marginal in regard to ground clearance and it has at least an inch more than the Model Y.
I don’t like how late the AP breaks sometimes - it’s a lot more harsh than I am, but then it never misses cars slowing down either…
I have heard that most of the sound engineers at Tesla are from Bose & B&O.
Ditto on autopilot breaking - sometimes so late it’s jarring and scary…oh but then once it senses it’s ok to move again, noticed this more since the latest update, it starts like it wants to take off - not subtle at all, then slows down and basically creeps along almost as if it’s making sure there’s nothing in front and then slowly ramps up speed. The last minute stoping is dangerous because the driver behind you has little to no warning especially if they’re the dumb smhuck who like to tailgate…the slow creeping to continue the follow is also dumb as it leaves the drivers around you wondering what the heck you’re doing - another safety issue.
You should do a vid on the Tesla app. Not a Tesla owner yet hopefully next month. I would sure like a vid on the app itself. Just a suggestion, if not it’s cool either way. Keep up the good work.
We took delivery of our 2020 LR AWD Y on July 28th, 2020, and currently have 19K+ miles. It's been a great vehicle. We did add the Performance Boost for $2K. We paid $52,190 back then and were just offered $56,540 from CARVANA. We are thinking of taking the deal and ordering a 2020 Performance Model Y. Our Y has been BULLETPROOF. We are 70 years old and don't find the ride to be too harsh, but I find running the tire PSI at 38 psi COLD for routine daily driving which softens the ride a bit, then pump them UP to 44 PSI COLD for road trips. But taking long road trips I wouldn't want to try that on any other charging network. We use AP exactly as you do, it's a great driver assistance tool as long as you follow common sense and don't expect it to be more than it is. My lifetime efficiency as it sits is 267 wh/mi. We love the audio system as well.
Sold my 2016 highlander today on carvana, ordered MYLR about 2 weeks ago should get it in 4 to 6 weeks, Can’t wait, Also about 20k cheaper now, due to price reduction and incentives
Great video! I just ordered a LR MY and it says it will be delivered around Dec 22 - March 2023. Is it really taking this long or do they just exaggerate on the delivery?
Still waiting on delivery of my MYLR; I can’t wait.
what part of Washington do you visit? looks like Leavenworth area?? we love our model Y super happy with it. I am car guy..the engineering the mechanics of it all. my wife and I share it most of the time since our power is so cheap here. we have 1700 miles on the car and have only spent $20 in electricity, compare that to gas here in our minivan and we have saved $300 so far...
You may remember, I’m the guy who got a Red Y about the same time as you did. I missed where you bought the floor mat that covers the back of your back seats. Could you post me a link? Thanks.
I took delivery of a '21 long range Model 3 late June last year (2021) and it has been to the Service Cebter countless times. All minor things, but as Ryan pointed out, really unacceptable for a car at this price point. Worse than the issues is that the service centers in my experience have been largely bad and just give shoulder shrugs with some of the issues I have that remain unresolved. Maybe I'm a nitpicker, but for what we pay for these cars I believe it's warranted. I can say with confidence if I bought an Audi, BMW, etc. many/most of these issues would not be present in those cars.
On the positive, the lack of quality build control not withstanding the ride is definitely smooth and pleasant. Like Ryan, I feel like I might have gotten a quasi-lemon Tesla but gun to my head I would buy another one when the time comes. Service centers need to really up the accountability game though - every single time resolved issues required more than one visit and a couple of mine remain unresolved after already multiple visits.
Idk ive bought several cars brand new all the way up to $55K and I have yet to buy a flawless, perfect car. I think all cars have their blemishes
What is "Streaming" in the media player? Is that US exclusive since mine doesn't have it
Regen is my favorite and is the hardest to go back to in an ICE car
Great video.
I haven't had problems with Bluetooth audio/video delay. Maybe that has been fixed with newer models.
I don’t have a “save clip” button on the live camera view on the app. Is there something in the app or the car that I need to change to be able to save a clip from the app?
Hey Ryan, you mentioned you don't use FSD that much- do you ever use the auto park feature? A lot of luxury SUVs have this sort of feature, so I wonder how it compares. Thanks!
2:50 - Regarding the Hold feature, I originally learned to drive (like 1976 😳) on manual-transmission in a flat-terrain town. So, I originally learned to bring the car to a stop with the brake pedal, then take my foot off the pedals entirely while waiting at a red light. That’s essentially what the hold mode does, does, so I wish I had that option.
I even have squeaking noise from my rear passenger seats often when I drive on highways do you think service appointment will fix it?
Is autopilot worth its price? If you wait until more functionality comes out, there's also the risk they increase the price. I Think of the current price as an early bird pricing
Beware 2. Asked Tesla to clarify how anyone stands if they modify the suspension or, fit after-market suspension, to try to reduce the suspension & road noise harshness. They confirmed that the Tesla warranty would be voided.
No, it won’t. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to arbitrarily void your warranty just because you modify something on your car. To deny a warranty claim, the company would have to prove (as in, in court) that the modification was directly responsible for the problem you’re claiming under warranty. The burden of proof is on the manufacturer.
for your complaint in number 5 with the search function, the same thing happens in spotifiy also, its so annoying!
17:26 At that point. It needs to get noted, that some if not all will open up to all, in a certain time. (As certain as time can be on Tesla anyways)
Great feedback however you did not clarify to the listeners that Downloand Song to the Car from TIDAL the downloads are only MP3 files Tidal does not allow you to download CD quality you can only Stream CD Quality Tunes ....
I'm definitely looking at the Y. Considering my family of 5, it'll be nice to have the extra space provided by the Long Range version. My biggest concern is safety for that exact same reason. Now I'm concerned about having a bumpy ride though... Maybe if I order one at this point, it'll be different from the experience you described.
you could always put in some good suspension and tires
Where do you look for used Tesla’s I can’t seem to find any reliably
How many miles were driven around the time the battery needed to be replaced?
Ryan, so what would happen in the situation where a car with 4680 batteries and a stressful battery pack needed to be replaced as your battery pack dead? Would they have to give you a new replacement car?
The front headlights do they tend to fog up after time ?
Can you fit a 22” bass drum via the boot?
How come you don't have the chrome windows? -- I thought the black borders were included in the 2022 MY...
I’m in Jersey and I ordered my model 3 LR which is scheduled to arrive sometime between end of June and early august. Any other Jersey Tesla owners on here that could let me know their experience living with a Tesla? How is it during the winter months? That is my main concern. My fiancé will be the one mostly driving it 22 miles to and from work.
Great post - the lack of radar sensors in my experience, makes using the autopilot feature scary. The cameras - for me always the right camera more than the others - are always complaining. For this price range and front visibility issues, not having a front camera, simply put, is cheap and ridiculous. I’ve added a front camera and parking is now 1000% better and SAFER. I agree with your statements regarding the music search. On pickup I found 8 issues within first 100 days. I took it in as scheduled and they basically did nothing - including the right camera - they told me they use a 3rd party partner for paint and they’d schedule another service with the partner -5 months later I’m still driving the car with the Tesla sticky tags pointing to the issues - no reschedule and no word. Frankly I’m just gonna forget about this and move on - again for the price this is ridiculous. In general I like the car. Not having to pay for gas anymore is the biggest win for me. I’ve added other stuff here and there to make the car more for my liking, some at significant at costs, that most would say the car should’ve come with in the first place.
Have you been on the Tesla site lately, for the Model Y they now have two different options: Enhanced Autopilot for $6000 or FSD for $12,000. So it doesn't even come with Enhanced Autopilot standard anymore. What is your thoughts on that? Is Enhanced Autopilot worth 6k?
I’m waiting for my model Y to arrive. Does anyone know if I can use my mobile hotspot for data or do I have to pay Tesla a monthly fee for data?
Awesome!
do you know when the 4680 battery version will be for sale?
Do you wish you bought a Mach e since it has CarPlay?
Spotify is buggy on my phone too
How many miles do you have on it now?
I'm curious, how often do you pull up to a charging station and there is not one available? With gas, it takes so little time to fill up but if you get to an EV charging station at the same time as multiple people and all of you require 30-40 minutes of charge time, you just added their charge time to yours so stopping to charge is gonna suck. Also, how often do people leave their cars plugged in after it's done charging? If someone goes to the mall and plugs in and spends 2 hours inside the mall, that charging station is tied up till they decide to come back.
I'm not too far off from your delivery of Mar 2020 and I'm quite in agreement with your review. My views on those 10points
1. driving experience - really great. SUV but has amazing feel/response and acceleration. Doesn't feel sluggish nor do you get rollover/tipping feel at all even at 90+mph. Smooth. Only thing is I prefer coasting of ICE over regen.
2. AP - worth it for Interstate driving. Did this 3x across multiple-states (min 3). Don't use it normally as I prefer driving myself even in traffic as I love driving. AP has issues though. Rain/night with a lone car with headlights and AP is blinded or with sun and it's over. We're nowhere near FSD tbh.
3. Ride Quality - agree. Stiff and bumpy but ok. Not as smooth as Model 3.
4. Storage - a bit poor. You'll struggle after 2 large suitcases. 90% of time trunk won't close as something bumps. The extra storage is nice but overall the back slope limits storage drastically
5. Sound system - when still; amazing, when moving; meh. I'm not an audiophile (99.9% can't tell diff anyways) but it is just ok overall. At 70mph road noise is a lot. Cell phones are useless via BT is useless as noise is so low unless you make vol near 80%+ so just put cell speaker. No issue with Spotify but issue with Streaming podcasts (SYSK - most podcasts here don't load). Searching is idiotic.
6. Software - good initially but the latest UI/UX change is IDIOTIC and made by idiot not-programmers. I can code better than this crap. So much wasted white space, buried menus, idiotic design change - can't change seat heats on the pic but can do it for rear seats which used to be there. Not to mention the useful swipes left or right are gone etc. Someone really stupid took charge of Tesla software and this will really hurt them in the long run
7. Tesla App - much better but still buggy. Initially I had to click my cell phone and futz around till it connects. Some update fixed it. Today it now includes useful features like remote sentry cam, climate controls, charge stats, service. However that same UI/UX idiot probably was in this team briefly because Defrost is hidden till you find an accidental upward swipe to get to it. Moron.
8. Issues/Service - definitely build quality is not up to mark. Squeaks abound. I just ignored it. My 2 decade old BMW is so much superior in all these. Service call itself was good. But they canceled my scratches ticket saying just go somewhere else. I just threw some paint on those scratches. Paint quality is sub par. Windshield quality subpar. Driver mirror shakes at 75mph+
9. Safety - safe. Car handles well and you just have be careful
10. Range/Charging - Range is good and I'm getting near 316mi as stated as long as you don't launch, speed like crazy, accelerate from 50-70 constantly or go fast. After 2 years, I'm still getting around 316mi to 330mi even depending on climate and driving style. Winter - range loss is around 30% less with heater on, without about only 5% less. Superchargers are amazing tbh. No issues at all.
Overall I'm glad I replaced my Acura SUV with Tesla. There's no way it's pathetic 14mpg could match the efficiency of a Tesla and I've already saved $2200 in gas charges already in 2 years. Not to mention the $5,000 state EV incentive rebate and Y is already $7200 saved on its $55k purchase price which brings it to below Acura cost. Overall, there was no real competitor to Tesla then. Today, maybe I would give Ford Mustang MachE or Rivian or Lucid or VW a chance (not GM or Toyota or anyone else)
Few other points not mentioned
1. Glass roof - gets VERY hot in summer. I bought a Tasmanian $70 porous mat to reduce the microwave effect inside car. I feel this is not so with my 3 but only with Y. Poor build again
2. Some features of software are annoying like can't have Auto without AC/Heat like in every other car
3. Frosting in winter is a HUGE issue and you have to be VERY careful with the glass which moves up and down when you open/close the door. If the window is stuck and you open and close the door the glass moves and stays OVER the chrome/non-chrome of 3/Y and can damage the window to the point where it will start to squeak always as it lost mm to cm of alignment
Idiotic design imo. So you have to PREHEAT the car and defrost for 1hr min (at 20F weather outside when things "stick", esp early morning or risk damage)
Phenomenal amount of detail. Thanks v much!
Seems more like a sales pitch than a review. Sure knows a lot about what improvements the current cars have over his own.
What was the battery replacement about
I recently test drove a model Y. It was a really nice crossover, but I just can't get over the price.
I Wish I bought the orginal tesla model y standarange the 244mile one
we took delivery of our model Y on dec.28, 2021. (latest build version I believe? if you go by the interior trim). I can sum it ALL up in one word: AWESOME. we paid $51k with upgraded paint & turbine rims. she rides like a dream and we've NEVER had to take her in for service. I hope Elon offers a 4680 replacement option for this car later in life- or, trade in & upgrade.
Wow you've never once needed to take the car in for a service in 4 months? That's crazy...
@@basedw 1 year & 4 months
@@basedw sorry... dec.28, 2020
Real world range you mention is much less around 260-280 miles. Is that charging to 80% or 100%? If it’s 100%, what is the range when daily charging to 80%?
Is overdrive an available app?
