Got my Y performance June 2021. I already have 16,500 miles on it. It’s a blast to drive. It’s not perfect, but I can say it’s a lot more faster and more practical as a daily driver than my 2017 Gt 350. My range is realistically at about 230 miles doing 75 miles per hour when I travel. That’s the beautiful thing about having those super chargers in abundance.
I've had my YLR for a week, this is the best vehicle I've ever owned, by a long shot. It's definitely over priced but the market demand is through the roof and it still doesn't have a true competitor. I've been wanting a Tesla ever since I took a test ride 10 years ago, so I'm beyond happy at this point.
The primary reason it doesn't meet the mileage estimates is one of the reasons you like it, the speed. Efficiency goes out the window once you start driving agressively by speeding, launching off starts,etc. It's too bad because, as mentioned, it is one of the fun things about the car. people have to realize the performance (speed) is equal to sports cars like astin martin, bmw m6, Audi R8, etc. And you don't expect great mileage from sports cars at this level.
I decided to get the 2023 Model Y long range vehicle and have had it for a couple of weeks now. I really enjoy the hatchback sytle vehicle and it fits all my needs. i am single, retired, and just drive daily around town. I do all my charging at home with the 220 volt outlet that was installed. I don't do long trips or drive on Expressways anymore. i haven't found anything wrong with the vehicle so far. The single pedal regen braking driving is very unique and is easy to get used to. As you said in the video, the model Y has allot of speed to it and seems to be quieter than my ICE vehicle. My Long Range vehicle may not be quite as fast as the performance model but is good enough for me. The ride is firm like a sports car where I do feel the bumps, but for me it is not too bad for the low speeds I go around town. Thanks for your video and take care.
Just FYI the frame less doors are considered a high end design feature, typically found only on vehicles such as BMW and Mercedes coupes, Corvettes, Porsches, Lamborghini and Ferraris. The only other SUV's I can think of that also use that design are Audi RS Q8 and Lamborghini Urus; and the only "regular car" that has frameless windows are the early 90's Integras. The manual override will always let you open the door, regardless if the windows go down or not, and if they're stuck, there's usually a button sequence that resets them to the factory position (on the Vette it was something like all the way down, then all the way up and hold).
EDD: October for mine! Can't wait. I'm coming from a Model 3LR boost. Driving my parents MYLR, I'm a little concerned about the handling/driving dynamics I might lose going to an SUV. Hopefully the performance goodies make up for it a bit.
Rear windows not going all the way down are due to the shape of the car door around the rear wheel well. There isn’t the physical space inside of the door for the window to go all the down inside it (it would hit the angle of the door that makes the part of the wheel well.
This is the best Model Y video I’ve found. Kudos to you sir! I ordered my model Y performance today, trading in a GMC Canyon Denali. I also went with blue with black interior. After an extended test drive I already had most of the same opinions as you. The UI will get updated I’m sure, hopefully with Waze and Apple Music. I fell in love with the one pedal driving and as a die hard manual transmission guy, I will admit my concern for saving the manuals died after a couple of hours driving a Tesla. As the (allegedly fake but still relevant) Henry Ford quote goes “If I had asked people what they wanted they would have said a faster horse”
I was too but black interior is safe but thought about it. If I’m going out with this new EV might as well get the white seats! What’s an extra $1k when the price is in the 60’s!
@@Chiphtree can you post pictures of this please. There are tons of videos on here where people just clean the seats when they get dirty. I never seen of any yellow staining on any of the videos. Maybe you found something that majority of the people on here with white seats have not run into.
I just purchased the exact same vehicle color and everything. Luckily I got all those options you were talking about excluding of course the 4680s. I love the car as it was an upgrade for me from a 2019 model three that I really enjoyed. Truthfully, the main reason I upgraded is it's a little easier for me to get in and out of. Wondering why your vehicle doesn't have a spoiler?
@@Chiphtree 1800 wow. It's easy to hammer those tires down quickly if you're not careful! I learned that with my model three. And it had the 19 inch package which was much cheaper than the 21s. My car was actually built on December 16, 2023, and of course, Tesla titles for the year of manufacture, unlike other manufacturers that would already be considering them as the next year. We also have a 2021 model Y performance, and the ride on this one is much improved, and quite a bit quieter on the road. The couple of drawbacks are the parking sensors are missing on the 23 as is the radar that the 2019 had. And one goofy thing I miss, is the bag holders in the front trunk 🙂
Good video for people approaching e-mobility and Tesla, though you still have to learn a lot about your MYP and the advantages of Teslas incremental way of handling UI. Put the range display on percentage instead of miles to start with! It‘s a lot more dependable and you have that on your phone, too.
A good, honest review. Five years into my Model S ownership, I love still the car. I also find many of the options and features on my MS which are no longer available are trade-offs for the newer tech in the current generation of model offerings, In the case of the Model Y, waiting for the chip, battery, and structural upgrades is worth waiting a year to get, which will likely be the case until Fremont and Austin are on an equal production and configuration footing for the Model Y, and supply meets demand. A second Tesla in the garage is coming, but I can wait until the company gets its supply chain issues fully baked into its model offerings, delivery times, and prices.
Great vid. I appreciate the realistic review. Just got my first Tesla, MYP 2022. Lots of hype, lots of disappointment, and I a lot of love/hate. If the car improves with updates I could recommend it, but not in the current state. I was hoping for a less buggy software experience. Definitely didn’t expect the super bad auto wipers, high beam, cruise control situation. I figured build quality would be decent, but it’s still lacking compared a basic ICE vehicle.
@@jessepotter365 Sure: Yesterday while using Nav I voiced in a street address. It kept pulling up locations in other cities. After 5 tries, I gave up and typed it in. Boom, address auto filled. Hit okay. Showed my route, zoomed out and it stopped working. Just showed the route and the car, wouldn’t navigate. After stopping and resetting it, Nav worked again. Took a Starbucks side trip. Then back to the main road and I couldn’t hear the Nav. The volume had turned itself all the down. Have had this happen several times. It’s fairly cool outside and I try to keep the temp on auto. Due to the glass roof, it still hits 100F when outside is 55F. So AC will pop on. In the last week I have had the AC on with seat heaters at max. Most the time my music will auto play Spotify. Couple times a week it will not. I have to go into the menu and change it from slack back to Spotify. Back up camera doesn’t always show up. Have to put it park and reverse again. Also, passenger bugged this out by adjusting the radio as I put it in reverse. Side cameras don’t always work with turn signals. When they do the color can be crazy. Emergency warning system is a pretty terrible. I notice it warning me to stop due to traffic stopping. But it’s really just a car that has already turned off the road. No danger. Definite system lag, makes me question the safety systems response. Phone doesn’t always charge on the wireless pad. Sometimes it gets really hot. Very random, never really know what it will do. After parking the car, walking away, hearing it lock. I came back 30 min later to find it was still on. It ran the radio and climate the whole time. Nav doesn’t always auto resume, have to cancel and restart. I turned off auto locks at one point, it took me 5 separate tries before it saved. Kept reverting back. This was over a few days. Had the fun holiday, rainbow road and mars modes lock up. The bugs generally change after each little update. I got excited last week when auto wipers worked for the first time. But then the stopped again. Meh. Those are a few. I have more. Generally a bug every day. Not counting phantom braking, phone as key not working a few times a week, nav taking you to a super chargers that is closed, windows not rolling up when door is closed, app not saving charge setting, cameras being blocked by sun , darkness, condensate. Auto pilot and cruise control don’t always turn off when you press the stalk up. Sometimes cruise control forgets it speed. Car taking an abnormally long time to resume speed after slowing down. This is my 2022 MYP. I scheduled a service due to trim pieces starting to separate from the body. I’m also going to ask if they can adjust the hood and trunk, neither are correct. See if I can add a camera calibration to the list.
@@beefuzzy310 that's quite a list. I have not heard of anyone else having that many issues and I'm also on the Tesla Motors Club forums. It sounds like you may have a lemon chip. I would push to have them take a look at the computer.
I have a 2021 MY Long Range, and ordered a 2022 Performance. Is the ride a lot rougher with the Performance low profile tires? In the Boston area where roads are pretty bad.
Great video! We received our Model Y Performance, Blue/White, on Dec. 26th, and really love it! Yeah, there are some disappointments, but for the most part, we're loving it! Love the OTA updates, sentry mode, and auto pilot! They also seem to retain their value more then most other cars! Thanks again for your video and hope you continue to enjoy your Model Y! (Great color choice)
@@alaaobaidy7074 Personally, I'd like to see better lighting at night. There is only a pretty dim light at the front footwells. How about some mood lighting in this price range? The door handles are black, and my Model Y is dark blue. At night, it is sometimes very difficult to find the door handles and open the car. These are really minor quibbles. I wish it had heads up display. The ride is definitely on the firm side, especially on rough roads but most of the time, the ride is fine. Wish it had real blind spot monitoring, on the side mirrors, instead of the driver having to look at the screen to see if the lane you want to move into is open. However, I love the performance! Never get tired of flooring in when it's safe. Love the airy bright feeling of the interior, especially with the white interior and the massive skylight over head! Love the relatively (about 1 or 2 times a month) updates. Everyone has different priorities, but for me, I absolutely love the Model Y!
I find the Bluetooth to be very handy, when I get in and press play it automatically plays from my Apple Music even if I have my Spotify open I have to go pick a song in Spotify for it to switch over
Hi Chip ! I liked your crisp, no-nonsense review. But can I ask about Spotify? Why do you claim Apple Music is better ? I’m baffled . (I’m in Portugal and my Model Y LR s due in Feb)
No saying it’s better….but we’ve had our Apple Music accounts for years now and we’re just disappointed we can’t use it with the car. Have a Spotify account as well just the free one for Joe Rogan! 😁
1. Orange line in maps regarding traffic means moderate traffic that is somewhat slowing down, Red means heavy traffic going very slow, green means normal traffic that does not slow down at all 2. Frameless doors are used on every Tesla model and they have been used on the vast majority of sports cars. 3. Overpriced cars? Well, try to get a ICE car of comparable size, performance and specs and you will see that the ICE might be even more expensive ;)
My point exactly....live traffic is unreliable and worthless. ICE cars cannot compare to EV's when it comes to performance. But most people dont need formula 1 cars to drive around in....So minus that a comparable ICE car is almost half the price.
@@Chiphtree ICE cars are currently extremely overpriced as well don't even compare to holding its value not even close. I paid $57k for my 2022 YLR drove it 22k miles and sold it to carmax for 60k.....
Tidal > Apple Music all day! Not even close in sound quality and bitrate. I do agree about the Premium Audio, for sure the best OEM system I've heard and better than plenty of aftermarket option too.
Thanks for the video, wondering if there were any comments on production quality such as panel gaps, misaligned plastic parts, paint defects among other things that other Tesla drivers have observed
Great video, very entertaining and informative ! Interesting that is feels smaller after having it for a while. I have yet to own, let alone drive one, but will do so next week. Coming from a full size 4 door truck, I'm sure it will feel small, but hoping I like it enough to warrant a change.....or at least get ready for the Cybertruck (if it comes)
I drive an infiniti QX70 crossover and I drove the Y. It’s a little smaller than my car not but not by much. Also I’m picking up my Y performance on 2/19!
Thanks man, appreciate it. I think the white interior would at least give the appearance of a lighter, more spacious interior. Also, price come down? It was raised $3k a week ago.
Great video man. Terrific editing! Love the scene transitions and your camera work is appreciated. Do you wish you had purchased the long range variant or another color? Just curious. I'm waiting for a silver one personally as well as some cool options like *all wheel steering *solar roof instead of the sun roof *ability to plug in things like 240v et al *lower price and one day I would love to see the software become open source (never will happen I bet).
No I love the blue and the performance speed….happy with everything. There’s a red performance that I see all the time and it looks sharp! The long range with the hub caps look too plain to me
the rear windows in my turbo macan don't go down all the way down too, i think it has to do with aerodynamics? The reason i got the Y is bc/ it's a lot like the macan just EV. Also, same thing goes with macan mileage, i fill for 330 but if i rev the turbo that 330 becomes 320 in like a second, in cali you guys have a lot of mountains so your mileage also takes massive hits there too, EV has the same principles.
I picked up my Red Performance Model Y on February 19th and my experience has been a lot more positive than yours as are my perceptions. I love the car and it is superior to my BMW X3 in every detail. Maybe, I did more research and had a better idea of what I was buying. Also, I am receiving a full 12 months of Premium Connectivity, not just 30 days. Not sure why my experience is different than yours. I was fortunate to get the Ryzen chip and the new lithium battery with my vehicle.
Enjoyed your video thanks! One thing, the price of tesla vehicles won’t go down anytime soon, it may go up again instead. The demand is skyrocketing and until the demand comes back to pre-covid (which I doubt happening anytime soon) tesla won’t reduce the price. It’s not about the supply chain it’s about the demand.
Great video. I don’t feel the MYP is overpriced. Try to buy any vehicle that can do 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds and you will quickly learn the MYP is great value for the money. Got my 2022 MYP delivered early as well. No car is perfect, but being in tech this car has the best software on the market. Especially with 3rd party software integration I can issue commands from my Apple Watch to the vehicle. The power and agility makes it a blast to drive. It’s very quick and nimble. Great storage and the sound system is ridiculously good. In my opinion it’s the best all around EV on the market and Tesla has the backlog to prove it. Waste your money on the other cheaper EV’s that look like ICE car conversions if you want. They will never have the performance and efficiency of a Tesla and they will never have software as good as Tesla. And the will not have the same residual value that Tesla has for that reason.
My 2021 LR M3 with performance boost is 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and is cheaper than the y. But that y has a ton of more storage space and sits quite bit higher.
@@finvisorfinvisorllc7542 ewwww...you dont need apple stuff for the car. can do alot on the app or just issue voice commands by pushing right button on steering wheel
Great quality video sir. How realistic is the “hopefully the price will go down after the chip shortage”? Do you really think they will come down ? Model Y is at $63k~ now and it seems to be a decent price for this beauty. It’s funny, I went to test drive a model Y today and the Tesla rep told me the prices will definitely go up with the new updates (chip, battery) but I read Tesla won’t rise prices even including this updates that you mentioned at the beginning of your video. What about tax credits for EVs ? Nothing in the horizon ? I’ll appreciate your feedback.
I really dont know and either do most people at Tesla....I just figure when the chip shortage is over and all the giga factories are up and running there wont be any problem getting one, not to mention all the other car companies that will be pumping out EV's. Im not saying it will drop alot, but hopefully into the high $50ks....total speculation on my part though
The price of the y has increased multiple times in the last year. Tax credits were in Bidens build back better but republicans killed it and musk talked smack about it. The last pres removed mpg requirements of gas cars and did nothing to support ev's but elon never talked smack at him. I dont get it.
i love my 3 and want the Y now to add to my garage. yes agree there are some annoying things but thats life! and yes its way over price! i love where you live..looks like summer! it still freaking 50s here...where are you summer!
Instant torque, nada engine noise, no toxic exhaust. 🤟 Just today, I followed a loud, hydrocarbon rich exhaust ICE from an obvious modified smog system. What a shame, so much drama just to produce piddling amount of horsepower increase compared to a Tesla.
When did your order your MYP that's about to be delivered? I just ordered this week, and the preliminary delivery range is Aug-Oct. Curious how accurate the initial lead times are in others' experience.
@@davep6040 i ordered it just before they got rid of mobile charger so mid april. Originally ordered LR but delivery was 2023 so upgraded a few days later to Performance. Original edd was july-aug for MYP. Now it says july 3-17. Actually fremont called me yesterday saying i will get VIN in days.
@@Pennychaser1 I assume you've had your 2022 MYP for about a month now. How are you liking it so far? Looking like next month for me based on my current EDD.
Good review. I have an EV6 GT on order but considering a switch to MYP but this is mainly based on supposedly better range. Now this looks doubtful. Perhaps stick with EV6 GT.
The actual range in the EV6 GT is also going to be less. If you like to drive fast that will drain the battery faster, and the other factor is weather. The other EVs don't go as fast as any Tesla's and so their range estimates are more closer to the stated range. And similarly if you drive the Tesla Performance in the Chill mode you will almost get the stated range. And the Tesla supercharger network when you travel is second to none. Plus the OTA are just amazing. For any other EV manufacturer to catch up with Tesla will take many years. Also the overall energy consumption of Tesla is going to be lower.
@@gokaruna Thank you, a good reply. Another option is to stick with my E-Niro for now and wait until the new 4860 battery is properly released for the Model Y though, here in the UK, that may be awhile coming.
Nice video, my car was charged to 100 percent when I picked it up and I didn’t have to take pics, just unlocked and left. Great cars but I’m obsessed with washing it, hate to see it dirty. I have a long range MY
@@Chiphtree No I dont, but I do have a new battery under the frunk. Picked it up in Texas and they advised in a text it would be fully charged and it was. I do have the new tires though and the Ryzen software is new as well tho, maybe it's a Cali thing.
I ordered my Y five weeks before you did, but it’s a Long Range so I didn’t get the quick delivery. And now my delivery date has been pushed from March out to September/October. ☹️ So much for those summer road trips I had planned…
Hey Chip - Nice video! I haven't been on YT for a minute. Do you like the "Y" ? → My 2¢ ... & Tesla don't get along ever since Apple grabbed previous Tesla employees for their Car project. But you pointed out using Apple Music instead. → You can easily share your Google Map directions from your iPhone directly to your Model Y. We do it all the time. In settings in G Maps > Route Settings > "Avoid Highways" > share > Done! Looks like I got some catching up to do - watching all these vids I've missed. 👍🔥🔥
@@Chiphtree Maybe a vid ... media for work keeps me ūber busy 😳! Upgraded the infotainment system last year - gen-1 couldn't receive the streaming & arcade upgrade. It still has the most features of any Tesla, any EV TBH. My initial skepticism which earned us a few free upgrades & love for the car has kept it Nice.
It looks it’s best in this blue body and black wheel combo. I think the roof line is too high which makes it look goofy from certain angles, mainly rear 3/4 view. The camera resolution is poor, looks very grainy. Don’t like the front doors windows too. Also hate there is nothing non-painted to push when you close the doors. Also Tesla not offering Head Up Display for basic driving information is poor. Needs to improve range but hear later they will get BYD powerpacks and range will increase 50%. Paint quality and durability questionable. Would like to see cabin cooling fans installed for parking under intense sun which are solar powered. Price is ridiculously high. However overall it’s still very desirable but Tesla need to do more work to catch-up with major brands for cabin comfort and finish.
The ride is smooth on less bumpy roads like the highway and a little bumpy on street roads . I can tell you compared to my 2017 Gt 350 the Y performance with 21 inch wheels is much more comfortable overall.
Everything seems fine. I dont think Tesla is any different than other car manufacturers. You can find panel gaps or small defects on every brand if you nit pick.
Hmmm I sold my 2021 Y to carmax no more than a month ago and ordered a Y Performance. I received my vin in two weeks and take delivery the 26th of this month at Tysons VA. I'm located in Southern Maryland
Have you already completed the “Payment” portion of your order? I now heard that an order for a Tesla is considered “Incomplete” if the payment portion of the order is not done. If you have not select either pay in cash or finance or lease for the new Tesla, your order will not move as fast as someone that has already completed the payment step.
Hi, I ordered Y a couple of months ago, but going back and forth between long range and performance. I love how the performance looks with red calipers and spoiler, but afraid that the wheel gets damaged easily and also the ride will be bumpy. I test drove both models but still couldn’t decide. Any suggestions?
Good video, a question. Why do you try avoid the highway? Just interested as I'd like to have that option too, I hate driving on motorways, I guess ill still be using maps on the phone.
Hello chip, I am French and owner of a Y model. I ordered a Y performance not available in France before April 2022. The car has lowered suspensions compared to the Y but I can't find how many. Can you give me there dimensions between the bumper before the ground. Thank you in advance
I Have no idea....im not sure where you would even measure from since there is no bumper. You should call or email Tesla directly for the correct info your looking for
got my MY performance a week ago, got the new 12V battery and the AMD ryzen chip, but having summer pirrellis was frustrating, and also, you are lucky to get your car that fast since i ordered mine in November and just got it!
@@Chiphtree i had tow hitch as an option, idk maybe it had to do something with this, but still very frustrated with not getting Michelin A/S, wanted to go to mountains.
Hi! Did you get the delivery with the all-season tires pre-installed? I live in the area with heavy snow in winters, so I’m curious if they come now with all-season.
Have you noticed any major ride quality between the MY LR vs. the MY P? Or how stiff really is it? I drove the LR and didn't think it was bad, but I've heard some say the P is worse while others say it's barely any difference (but none available to test drive here).
No not really. The rough roads in LA suck and its bumpy, but most of the roads around me are smooth and the car is quite so no complaints. I would say it feels stiff like most sport suspensions do...not any worse. I know other disagree though
I find it odd that Tesla makes major design changes like cell type and battery pack design without somehow changing the model designation. I would not want to order one of these not knowing which factory made it or what cells I was getting.
No you get the Vin while they begin building the vehicle. It's no different from Ford chevy etc.... assembly line is staged to build sheets per orders.
Hmmmm. I was only looking at the Y bc I thought it was akin to a RAV4 crossover sized suv. If its not much bigger then I might just get a model 3 instead.
I don’t believe the price will go down once, if, chip shortage is back to normal. It is because with the higher price, people are still buying wo complaining (I am guilty of that. But we want a model Y). Unless people stop buying or slow down ordering from Tesla, they will continuously keep the price up. Demand and supply.
Beware, We collected a new, Shanghai Model Y LR 23rd February 2022. Brilliant car, even better than our terrific (but lethal in rain spray - Tesla Tech are still working on a fix) ) Model 3LR of 2 years, except for .... the Hankook tyres that seem to have excessive compound Shore Hardness as a cheap way to meet the extra load rating requirement of the Model Y and have an an even further NVH inducing tread pattern that is similar to an HGV truck, crash on the road so hard, that deep bass, sound pressure waves reverberate throughout the cabin so harshly, that we get headaches from it. No parcel shelf provided either. Tesla Service, Nottingham say that "Yes, it is harsh to the ear but, it is a characteristic of the car so, there is nothing we are prepared to fix" We rejected the car via Tesla's UK finance partner, Black Horse, as is our right. Tesla told Black Horse the same. Over 2 months later, we can't drive the car without getting headaches. Black Horse are promising to get an automotive engineer to report on the vehicle but, have already admitted that as Tesla say they won't fix the problem, in all probability, Black Horse will just tell us "tough luck". I am a chartered Mechanical Engineer with over 45 years in the motor trade. I have had problems with new vehicles before but, never anything as outrageously bad as this.
Great video. I ordered a MYP with FSD on 12/31/21. I got March 28th delivery date. Then it move to the beginning of March. But I pick it up this Friday! Can’t wait to come back to Tesla. I had a MS 75D 3 years ago. I’m so excited!
uh. no teslas are being sold with 4680's yet. You can upgrade to the ryzen chip. I have heard the new battery is in production.....oh wow...what you call gimmicky i think are awesome essential parts of the car! Pick my own horn sound, back up sound and summon sound. and 7 dif farts i can produce from any seat and project outside the car. Yes please! Beach buggy racing is an awesome 2 player racing game that you use the steering wheel and passenger uses a controller. its amazing! im 54 but i think im younger at heart than you..lol You can put the back seats almost completely flat and fit your 4 by8 plywood in there.

My Long Range vehicle may not be quite as fast as the performance model but is good enough for me. The ride is firm like a sports car where I do feel the bumps, but for me it is not too bad for the low speeds I go around town.

This is the best Model Y video I’ve found. Kudos to you sir! I ordered my model Y performance today, trading in a GMC Canyon Denali. I also went with blue with black interior.

I fell in love with the one pedal driving and as a die hard manual transmission guy, I will admit my concern for saving the manuals died after a couple of hours driving a Tesla. As the (allegedly fake but still relevant) Henry Ford quote goes “If I had asked people what they wanted they would have said a faster horse”
Thanks agree with your comment as well
Also ordered MYP, but in MSM and keep fluctuating on going blue with black
I was too but black interior is safe but thought about it. If I’m going out with this new EV might as well get the white seats! What’s an extra $1k when the price is in the 60’s!

@@Chiphtree can you post pictures of this please. There are tons of videos on here where people just clean the seats when they get dirty. I never seen of any yellow staining on any of the videos. Maybe you found something that majority of the people on here with white seats have not run into.
I just purchased the exact same vehicle color and everything. Luckily I got all those options you were talking about excluding of course the 4680s. I love the car as it was an upgrade for me from a 2019 model three that I really enjoyed. Truthfully, the main reason I upgraded is it's a little easier for me to get in and out of. Wondering why your vehicle doesn't have a spoiler?
It does now….it took a few weeks to get one because they were on back order. We just put new tires on her @ 35k miles…$1800!
@@Chiphtree 1800 wow. It's easy to hammer those tires down quickly if you're not careful! I learned that with my model three. And it had the 19 inch package which was much cheaper than the 21s. My car was actually built on December 16, 2023, and of course, Tesla titles for the year of manufacture, unlike other manufacturers that would already be considering them as the next year. We also have a 2021 model Y performance, and the ride on this one is much improved, and quite a bit quieter on the road. The couple of drawbacks are the parking sensors are missing on the 23 as is the radar that the 2019 had. And one goofy thing I miss, is the bag holders in the front trunk 🙂
Good video for people approaching e-mobility and Tesla, though you still have to learn a lot about your MYP and the advantages of Teslas incremental way of handling UI.
Put the range display on percentage instead of miles to start with! It‘s a lot more dependable and you have that on your phone, too.
I suppose this is the most sophisticated introduction video of MY I have ever seen.
I want to see more your MY video, Thanks bro.
Great review. Real world stuff. Thanks!
A good, honest review. Five years into my Model S ownership, I love still the car. I also find many of the options and features on my MS which are no longer available are trade-offs for the newer tech in the current generation of model offerings, In the case of the Model Y, waiting for the chip, battery, and structural upgrades is worth waiting a year to get, which will likely be the case until Fremont and Austin are on an equal production and configuration footing for the Model Y, and supply meets demand. A second Tesla in the garage is coming, but I can wait until the company gets its supply chain issues fully baked into its model offerings, delivery times, and prices.
Great vid. I appreciate the realistic review. Just got my first Tesla, MYP 2022. Lots of hype, lots of disappointment, and I a lot of love/hate. If the car improves with updates I could recommend it, but not in the current state.
I was hoping for a less buggy software experience. Definitely didn’t expect the super bad auto wipers, high beam, cruise control situation. I figured build quality would be decent, but it’s still lacking compared a basic ICE vehicle.
Could you expand upon, "buggy software"?
@@jessepotter365 Sure:
Yesterday while using Nav I voiced in a street address. It kept pulling up locations in other cities. After 5 tries, I gave up and typed it in. Boom, address auto filled. Hit okay. Showed my route, zoomed out and it stopped working. Just showed the route and the car, wouldn’t navigate. After stopping and resetting it, Nav worked again. Took a Starbucks side trip. Then back to the main road and I couldn’t hear the Nav. The volume had turned itself all the down. Have had this happen several times.
It’s fairly cool outside and I try to keep the temp on auto. Due to the glass roof, it still hits 100F when outside is 55F. So AC will pop on. In the last week I have had the AC on with seat heaters at max.
Most the time my music will auto play Spotify. Couple times a week it will not. I have to go into the menu and change it from slack back to Spotify.
Back up camera doesn’t always show up. Have to put it park and reverse again. Also, passenger bugged this out by adjusting the radio as I put it in reverse.
Side cameras don’t always work with turn signals. When they do the color can be crazy.
Emergency warning system is a pretty terrible. I notice it warning me to stop due to traffic stopping. But it’s really just a car that has already turned off the road. No danger. Definite system lag, makes me question the safety systems response.
Phone doesn’t always charge on the wireless pad. Sometimes it gets really hot. Very random, never really know what it will do.
After parking the car, walking away, hearing it lock. I came back 30 min later to find it was still on. It ran the radio and climate the whole time.
Nav doesn’t always auto resume, have to cancel and restart.
I turned off auto locks at one point, it took me 5 separate tries before it saved. Kept reverting back. This was over a few days.
Had the fun holiday, rainbow road and mars modes lock up.
The bugs generally change after each little update. I got excited last week when auto wipers worked for the first time. But then the stopped again. Meh.
Those are a few. I have more. Generally a bug every day. Not counting phantom braking, phone as key not working a few times a week, nav taking you to a super chargers that is closed, windows not rolling up when door is closed, app not saving charge setting, cameras being blocked by sun , darkness, condensate. Auto pilot and cruise control don’t always turn off when you press the stalk up. Sometimes cruise control forgets it speed. Car taking an abnormally long time to resume speed after slowing down.
This is my 2022 MYP. I scheduled a service due to trim pieces starting to separate from the body. I’m also going to ask if they can adjust the hood and trunk, neither are correct. See if I can add a camera calibration to the list.
@@beefuzzy310 that's quite a list. I have not heard of anyone else having that many issues and I'm also on the Tesla Motors Club forums. It sounds like you may have a lemon chip. I would push to have them take a look at the computer.
Your outside shots of the MY are amazing!! Very well put together video!
Thanks Joe
I have a 2021 MY Long Range, and ordered a 2022 Performance. Is the ride a lot rougher with the Performance low profile tires? In the Boston area where roads are pretty bad.
Great video!
We received our Model Y Performance, Blue/White, on Dec. 26th, and really love it!
Yeah, there are some disappointments, but for the most part, we're loving it!
Love the OTA updates, sentry mode, and auto pilot!
They also seem to retain their value more then most other cars!
Thanks again for your video and hope you continue to enjoy your Model Y! (Great color choice)
What are the disappointments?
@@alaaobaidy7074 Personally, I'd like to see better lighting at night. There is only a pretty dim light at the front footwells. How about some mood lighting in this price range?
The door handles are black, and my Model Y is dark blue. At night, it is sometimes very difficult to find the door handles and open the car.
These are really minor quibbles. I wish it had heads up display. The ride is definitely on the firm side, especially on rough roads but most of the time, the ride is fine. Wish it had real blind spot monitoring, on the side mirrors, instead of the driver having to look at the screen to see if the lane you want to move into is open.
However, I love the performance! Never get tired of flooring in when it's safe. Love the airy bright feeling of the interior, especially with the white interior and the massive skylight over head!
Love the relatively (about 1 or 2 times a month) updates. Everyone has different priorities, but for me, I absolutely love the Model Y!
I find the Bluetooth to be very handy, when I get in and press play it automatically plays from my Apple Music even if I have my Spotify open I have to go pick a song in Spotify for it to switch over
Hi Chip ! I liked your crisp, no-nonsense review.
But can I ask about Spotify? Why do you claim Apple Music is better ? I’m baffled .
(I’m in Portugal and my Model Y LR s due in Feb)
No saying it’s better….but we’ve had our Apple Music accounts for years now and we’re just disappointed we can’t use it with the car. Have a Spotify account as well just the free one for Joe Rogan! 😁
1. Orange line in maps regarding traffic means moderate traffic that is somewhat slowing down, Red means heavy traffic going very slow, green means normal traffic that does not slow down at all
2. Frameless doors are used on every Tesla model and they have been used on the vast majority of sports cars.
3. Overpriced cars? Well, try to get a ICE car of comparable size, performance and specs and you will see that the ICE might be even more expensive ;)
My point exactly....live traffic is unreliable and worthless. ICE cars cannot compare to EV's when it comes to performance. But most people dont need formula 1 cars to drive around in....So minus that a comparable ICE car is almost half the price.
@@Chiphtree ICE cars are currently extremely overpriced as well don't even compare to holding its value not even close. I paid $57k for my 2022 YLR drove it 22k miles and sold it to carmax for 60k.....
@@patrickpinkney7673 I think they’re going to come down later this year though…
Great video. I'm about to get mine, same color and wheels with long range version and found this video very helpful.
I'm jealous of that delivery time! I also ordered my MYP in December, and still haven't even gotten a VIN.
atleast you got your order in before the price hikes and u might get some upgrades!
@@Chiphtree true, and hopefully soon I’ll be able to avoid these gas price hikes! :)
Tidal > Apple Music all day! Not even close in sound quality and bitrate. I do agree about the Premium Audio, for sure the best OEM system I've heard and better than plenty of aftermarket option too.
Thanks for the video, wondering if there were any comments on production quality such as panel gaps, misaligned plastic parts, paint defects among other things that other Tesla drivers have observed
No I didn’t have any issues
So long as I can get a full, COSTCO shop I’ll be happy !
Great video, very entertaining and informative ! Interesting that is feels smaller after having it for a while. I have yet to own, let alone drive one, but will do so next week. Coming from a full size 4 door truck, I'm sure it will feel small, but hoping I like it enough to warrant a change.....or at least get ready for the Cybertruck (if it comes)
I drive an infiniti QX70 crossover and I drove the Y. It’s a little smaller than my car not but not by much. Also I’m picking up my Y performance on 2/19!
Thanks man, appreciate it. I think the white interior would at least give the appearance of a lighter, more spacious interior. Also, price come down? It was raised $3k a week ago.
Did you immediately know you wanted blue with black interior? I keep going back-and-forth between MSM and blue on my order
Yeah it’s the best color combo IMO….Red with blk int and dark tinted windows looks sharp too, but most expensive
the rear windows don’t go down bc there is no space for the top part to go
That is a fresh MYP, congrats. Taking delivery soon of a red/white MYP 🔥
Thanks Bro.....hope you enjoy it as much as i do!
Great video man. Terrific editing! Love the scene transitions and your camera work is appreciated. Do you wish you had purchased the long range variant or another color? Just curious. I'm waiting for a silver one personally as well as some cool options like *all wheel steering *solar roof instead of the sun roof *ability to plug in things like 240v et al *lower price and one day I would love to see the software become open source (never will happen I bet).
No I love the blue and the performance speed….happy with everything. There’s a red performance that I see all the time and it looks sharp! The long range with the hub caps look too plain to me
the rear windows in my turbo macan don't go down all the way down too, i think it has to do with aerodynamics? The reason i got the Y is bc/ it's a lot like the macan just EV.
Also, same thing goes with macan mileage, i fill for 330 but if i rev the turbo that 330 becomes 320 in like a second, in cali you guys have a lot of mountains so your mileage also takes massive hits there too, EV has the same principles.
Great video bro, ordered my y performance on the 24th of January. App says delivery February 22-march 8th but no VIN yet :(
Awesome...should have it in the next few weeks! We got our VIN maybe 3 days before delivery. Enjoy

@@nicolet1327 got my VIN yesterday! Delivery date changed to February 27-march 3rd now. Located in Miami
@@mauricemitchell3734 is your MY coming from Fremont, CA or Austin, TX?
I picked up my Red Performance Model Y on February 19th and my experience has been a lot more positive than yours as are my perceptions. I love the car and it is superior to my BMW X3 in every detail. Maybe, I did more research and had a better idea of what I was buying. Also, I am receiving a full 12 months of Premium Connectivity, not just 30 days. Not sure why my experience is different than yours. I was fortunate to get the Ryzen chip and the new lithium battery with my vehicle.
Is yours from Austin?
Enjoyed your video thanks! One thing, the price of tesla vehicles won’t go down anytime soon, it may go up again instead. The demand is skyrocketing and until the demand comes back to pre-covid (which I doubt happening anytime soon) tesla won’t reduce the price. It’s not about the supply chain it’s about the demand.
Great video, i love the deep blue metallic color
Wow, first honest review I've seen. Kudos.
Thanks
nice video! just ordered my model y performance and was wondering where you get your trunk mat from?
Amazon
Great video. I don’t feel the MYP is overpriced. Try to buy any vehicle that can do 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds and you will quickly learn the MYP is great value for the money. Got my 2022 MYP delivered early as well. No car is perfect, but being in tech this car has the best software on the market. Especially with 3rd party software integration I can issue commands from my Apple Watch to the vehicle. The power and agility makes it a blast to drive. It’s very quick and nimble. Great storage and the sound system is ridiculously good. In my opinion it’s the best all around EV on the market and Tesla has the backlog to prove it. Waste your money on the other cheaper EV’s that look like ICE car conversions if you want. They will never have the performance and efficiency of a Tesla and they will never have software as good as Tesla. And the will not have the same residual value that Tesla has for that reason.
My 2021 LR M3 with performance boost is 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and is cheaper than the y. But that y has a ton of more storage space and sits quite bit higher.
I love my MYP too, but what 3rd party software are you using with Apple Watch? I don't see Tesla app available on the watch. Thanks.
@@finvisorfinvisorllc7542 ewwww...you dont need apple stuff for the car. can do alot on the app or just issue voice commands by pushing right button on steering wheel
Your filming camera produces some very nice output.
Great quality video sir. How realistic is the “hopefully the price will go down after the chip shortage”? Do you really think they will come down ? Model Y is at $63k~ now and it seems to be a decent price for this beauty. It’s funny, I went to test drive a model Y today and the Tesla rep told me the prices will definitely go up with the new updates (chip, battery) but I read Tesla won’t rise prices even including this updates that you mentioned at the beginning of your video. What about tax credits for EVs ? Nothing in the horizon ? I’ll appreciate your feedback.
I really dont know and either do most people at Tesla....I just figure when the chip shortage is over and all the giga factories are up and running there wont be any problem getting one, not to mention all the other car companies that will be pumping out EV's. Im not saying it will drop alot, but hopefully into the high $50ks....total speculation on my part though
@@Chiphtree Thanks for the reply, I understand. If I buy it this week they’re delivering in April :(
I’m subscribing to your channel.
The price of the y has increased multiple times in the last year. Tax credits were in Bidens build back better but republicans killed it and musk talked smack about it. The last pres removed mpg requirements of gas cars and did nothing to support ev's but elon never talked smack at him. I dont get it.
I don't see prices ever going down. They should level off, but I highly doubt you'll ever get a new Tesla for less than they're charging today.
@@davep6040 almost a month now with my model Y, loving it so far. I don’t really know how much I finally paid for it but it’s worth every penny !
i love my 3 and want the Y now to add to my garage. yes agree there are some annoying things but thats life! and yes its way over price! i love where you live..looks like summer! it still freaking 50s here...where are you summer!
Instant torque, nada engine noise, no toxic exhaust. 🤟 Just today, I followed a loud, hydrocarbon rich exhaust ICE from an obvious modified smog system. What a shame, so much drama just to produce piddling amount of horsepower increase compared to a Tesla.
😂🤣😂
If you can afford a tesla i dont understand why anyone drives anything else anymore.
Got 21 MYP in nov 2021. Another MYP is set to deliver in a month. Price difference is almost $10k for same car
When did your order your MYP that's about to be delivered? I just ordered this week, and the preliminary delivery range is Aug-Oct. Curious how accurate the initial lead times are in others' experience.
@@davep6040 i ordered it just before they got rid of mobile charger so mid april. Originally ordered LR but delivery was 2023 so upgraded a few days later to Performance. Original edd was july-aug for MYP. Now it says july 3-17. Actually fremont called me yesterday saying i will get VIN in days.
@@Pennychaser1 my edd already moved right since I ordered 2 days ago. Now it's 10/22 - 12/17.

@@Pennychaser1 I assume you've had your 2022 MYP for about a month now. How are you liking it so far? Looking like next month for me based on my current EDD.
Good review. I have an EV6 GT on order but considering a switch to MYP but this is mainly based on supposedly better range. Now this looks doubtful. Perhaps stick with EV6 GT.
The actual range in the EV6 GT is also going to be less. If you like to drive fast that will drain the battery faster, and the other factor is weather. The other EVs don't go as fast as any Tesla's and so their range estimates are more closer to the stated range. And similarly if you drive the Tesla Performance in the Chill mode you will almost get the stated range. And the Tesla supercharger network when you travel is second to none. Plus the OTA are just amazing. For any other EV manufacturer to catch up with Tesla will take many years. Also the overall energy consumption of Tesla is going to be lower.
@@gokaruna Thank you, a good reply. Another option is to stick with my E-Niro for now and wait until the new 4860 battery is properly released for the Model Y though, here in the UK, that may be awhile coming.
No AMD Ryzen? I was told for my MYP expecting delivery mid March that Li battery and Ryzen is 100%
you probably will get it....i just missed it
I have a Tesla M3 and will be buying MY. I am not sure why you sound negative I think the car is amazing
I agree it is amazing. Just tried to do a fair review of the the thing we like and don’t like….I didn’t feel like it was overly negative
Regenerative braking is not minimal. If I had to guess it has to be at leas 80% efficient.
True but it’s on for such a short amount of time that not much energy is going to the battery
Nice video, my car was charged to 100 percent when I picked it up and I didn’t have to take pics, just unlocked and left. Great cars but I’m obsessed with washing it, hate to see it dirty. I have a long range MY
You must have the new battery pack
@@Chiphtree No I dont, but I do have a new battery under the frunk. Picked it up in Texas and they advised in a text it would be fully charged and it was. I do have the new tires though and the Ryzen software is new as well tho, maybe it's a Cali thing.
Beautifull shots! Thumb up and sub! Greetings from Poland ❤️
Hi Chip. These are very informative information. Thanks for sharing
I ordered my Y five weeks before you did, but it’s a Long Range so I didn’t get the quick delivery. And now my delivery date has been pushed from March out to September/October. ☹️ So much for those summer road trips I had planned…
Damn that sucks.....sorry to hear that
@@Chiphtree Well hopefully the delay will give them time to roll out the 4680s!
@4:21 who makes the car protection for the inside of your Y?
Im not sure the maker, but look in the video description, its the first one under Accessories "the trunk mat i have" there is a link to it
Hey Chip - Nice video! I haven't been on YT for a minute. Do you like the "Y" ?

@@shaianderson8 WOW….time for an upgrade?
Would love to know how she’s held up and battery performance….etc. Maybe a YT video? 😃
@@Chiphtree Maybe a vid ... media for work keeps me ūber busy 😳! Upgraded the infotainment system last year - gen-1 couldn't receive the streaming & arcade upgrade. It still has the most features of any Tesla, any EV TBH. My initial skepticism which earned us a few free upgrades & love for the car has kept it Nice.
It looks it’s best in this blue body and black wheel combo. I think the roof line is too high which makes it look goofy from certain angles, mainly rear 3/4 view. The camera resolution is poor, looks very grainy. Don’t like the front doors windows too. Also hate there is nothing non-painted to push when you close the doors. Also Tesla not offering Head Up Display for basic driving information is poor. Needs to improve range but hear later they will get BYD powerpacks and range will increase 50%. Paint quality and durability questionable. Would like to see cabin cooling fans installed for parking under intense sun which are solar powered. Price is ridiculously high. However overall it’s still very desirable but Tesla need to do more work to catch-up with major brands for cabin comfort and finish.
I like the quilted rear hatch cover in your car. Where did you get it?
Found it on Amazon....There are a couple of different options
I have seen other people say the ride is really bumpy with the larger wheels…. What’s your opinion on this?
Its a sports suspension so it is stiffer, and on rough roads you really feel it, but most of the roads are fine and its pretty smooth.
Yes any low profile tire or sport suspension vehicle will not ride as cadillac fyi
The ride is smooth on less bumpy roads like the highway and a little bumpy on street roads . I can tell you compared to my 2017 Gt 350 the Y performance with 21 inch wheels is much more comfortable overall.
How is the build quality of the exterior and the interior of the car?
Everything seems fine. I dont think Tesla is any different than other car manufacturers. You can find panel gaps or small defects on every brand if you nit pick.
That's crazy I ordered our Model Y Performance in November and we're still waiting.

If you have not select either pay in cash or finance or lease for the new Tesla, your order will not move as fast as someone that has already completed the payment step.
Hi, I ordered Y a couple of months ago, but going back and forth between long range and performance. I love how the performance looks with red calipers and spoiler, but afraid that the wheel gets damaged easily and also the ride will be bumpy. I test drove both models but still couldn’t decide. Any suggestions?
We’ll I’m biased….the P is much better looking and faster, mileage is basically the same. LR is ugly
Good video, a question. Why do you try avoid the highway? Just interested as I'd like to have that option too, I hate driving on motorways, I guess ill still be using maps on the phone.
I try to avoid the 5 freeway especially during certain hours and usually it only takes a few minutes more when I avoid the freeway….way less stress
What year did the speaker feature become available?
Not sure....that would be a good research project! let me know what you find out 😀
Hello chip, I am French and owner of a Y model. I ordered a Y performance not available in France before April 2022. The car has lowered suspensions compared to the Y but I can't find how many. Can you give me there dimensions between the bumper before the ground. Thank you in advance
I Have no idea....im not sure where you would even measure from since there is no bumper. You should call or email Tesla directly for the correct info your looking for
got my MY performance a week ago, got the new 12V battery and the AMD ryzen chip, but having summer pirrellis was frustrating, and also, you are lucky to get your car that fast since i ordered mine in November and just got it!

Hi!
Did you get the delivery with the all-season tires pre-installed? I live in the area with heavy snow in winters, so I’m curious if they come now with all-season.
Yeah I believe all new cars are coming with the all season tires
got over with Tesla few months ago. sticking to MB
Have you noticed any major ride quality between the MY LR vs. the MY P? Or how stiff really is it? I drove the LR and didn't think it was bad, but I've heard some say the P is worse while others say it's barely any difference (but none available to test drive here).
Only drove the LR model once and there didnt seem to be much of a difference at all
It will depend on the wheels. 18" have bigger sidewalls so more cushion and a softer ride. The 20" will be more likely to pop and have a harsher ride.
I hear so much about the ride quality being so bad, especially with the 21" wheel. Not a concern for you?
No not really. The rough roads in LA suck and its bumpy, but most of the roads around me are smooth and the car is quite so no complaints. I would say it feels stiff like most sport suspensions do...not any worse. I know other disagree though
@@Chiphtree Yeah, totally subjective. Thanks for the reply.
@@Chiphtreequite quiet
I find it odd that Tesla makes major design changes like cell type and battery pack design without somehow changing the model designation. I would not want to order one of these not knowing which factory made it or what cells I was getting.
Vin number tells all that info. Fyi
@@patrickpinkney7673 So you find out after the car is delivered.
No you get the Vin while they begin building the vehicle. It's no different from Ford chevy etc.... assembly line is staged to build sheets per orders.
@@patrickpinkney7673 In CA, you get the VIN only within 3-5 days of delivery.

Good review 👍 beware that it is not Tesla who makes the maps here, the maps are google maps. Just fyi ☺️
I know so why can’t I turn on avoid highways like I can on Google maps
@@Chiphtree good point, I guess there is an implementation layer between google maps and Tesla software in this case.
Google provides the base map but Tesla handles the routing.
Hmmmm. I was only looking at the Y bc I thought it was akin to a RAV4 crossover sized suv. If its not much bigger then I might just get a model 3 instead.
You might need to see it in person first...Its not as fast as the Rav 4 though
Rear seat leg room and trunk space is what made me decide for the Y over the 3.
Honest review, thumbs up
Yes overpriced but when you have a long waiting list you can charge a premium price (for now).
I don’t believe the price will go down once, if, chip shortage is back to normal. It is because with the higher price, people are still buying wo complaining (I am guilty of that. But we want a model Y). Unless people stop buying or slow down ordering from Tesla, they will continuously keep the price up. Demand and supply.
good point....I agree
Hi! In which town is this video filmed?

Brilliant car, even better than our terrific (but lethal in rain spray - Tesla Tech are still working on a fix) ) Model 3LR of 2 years, except for .... the Hankook tyres that seem to have excessive compound Shore Hardness as a cheap way to meet the extra load rating requirement of the Model Y and have an an even further NVH inducing tread pattern that is similar to an HGV truck, crash on the road so hard, that deep bass, sound pressure waves reverberate throughout the cabin so harshly, that we get headaches from it. No parcel shelf provided either. Tesla Service, Nottingham say that "Yes, it is harsh to the ear but, it is a characteristic of the car so, there is nothing we are prepared to fix" We rejected the car via Tesla's UK finance partner, Black Horse, as is our right. Tesla told Black Horse the same. Over 2 months later, we can't drive the car without getting headaches. Black Horse are promising to get an automotive engineer to report on the vehicle but, have already admitted that as Tesla say they won't fix the problem, in all probability, Black Horse will just tell us "tough luck". I am a chartered Mechanical Engineer with over 45 years in the motor trade. I have had problems with new vehicles before but, never anything as outrageously bad as this.
There’s no car play?
Nope
Great video. I ordered a MYP with FSD on 12/31/21. I got March 28th delivery date. Then it move to the beginning of March. But I pick it up this Friday! Can’t wait to come back to Tesla. I had a MS 75D 3 years ago. I’m so excited!
Nice! Enjoy
Hey quick question. What color did you get yours in? I ordered my MYP in November and should take delivery around March 14.
Blue
@@neryperdomo6383 I got white with white interior. I picked it Friday 2/25.. I’ve had it for 2 days and I love it!!
@@Chiphtree sorry was asking the other guy. But yeah I wanted blue and wife wanted white haha
yes im glad you said its to expensive
But to be fair all cars are expensive and over priced right now
Lol… here in Europe model Y is classified as a midsize SUV…
MV represent!
In sweden you have to pay 82.000 dollars for a Model Y performance! Lucky bastards haha :) Nice car! Congrats!
Damn....is that 82K Krona or US Dollars?
Good info for sure, if you're concerned about the price try $100000 Australian dollars or more,... now that's a deal breaker!
Are you guys still on lock down.....It looked pretty bad down there for awhile, but haven't seen much lately
uh. no teslas are being sold with 4680's yet. You can upgrade to the ryzen chip. I have heard the new battery is in production.....oh wow...what you call gimmicky i think are awesome essential parts of the car! Pick my own horn sound, back up sound and summon sound. and 7 dif farts i can produce from any seat and project outside the car. Yes please! Beach buggy racing is an awesome 2 player racing game that you use the steering wheel and passenger uses a controller. its amazing! im 54 but i think im younger at heart than you..lol You can put the back seats almost completely flat and fit your 4 by8 plywood in there.
Not him saying spotify trash 🤣🥲
It’s not trash I just don’t use it for music…only Joe Rogan podcast on my phone 😁
That range is disappointing. Nowhere near the 303 claimed.
Back windows don’t go all the way down cuz that’s required. It’s a child safety thing
So why do almost all other cars have windows that go all the way down?
