Tesla: "It just works, unless it doesn't"... 🤣🤣🤣
We test drove ours in January the day after watching Ricky's own video about the third row seats, paid our deposit, and replaced our Santa Fe XL with it just 2 days later. The high trade-in value on the Santa Fe, Tesla's price drop the week before, and learning that the tow rating was 3500 lbs and not the 2500 I'd previously thought; was the perfect storm that made it possible. Thanks Ricky!
The wipers with cruise control is a maddening issue that we've encountered as well. On greasy winter roads the related streaking is a massive hazard, and we've added more washer fluid to the Tesla in two months than we typically add to a car in two years. To add insult to injury, a minute or so after you get the windshield cleared the car wipes/re-streaks it again. There are days we flat out could not use cruise control because of the issue, and we're hoping that a software update cures it before winter returns next year. Other than that, we love the car!
@@KevinT3141 you can turn off the automatic wipers I believe
@@justinstewart3248 You can but if you use cruise control, they turn back on... It's a known issue and needs sorting.
The trade-in value of ice car are eventually going to crash because no dealers will be able to sell them but I don't see that for 17-20years.
@@stum8374 Used ICE values have gone down recently. ICE values will continue to fall because fewer people will want them in 5 years time.
It's looking like 25% of new cars will be EV by end of 2023. It'll be nearer 50% by 2025 and 75% by 2030.
Can't wait to get rid of my ICE cars because I waste so much time doing maintenance as can't always afford to take them to garages when they go wrong!
We’ll done sir. Thank you.
I have to chuckle when I read all the criticisms from people who don't own a Tesla. So many misconceptions. However, not everyone is suited to own a Tesla. They are different, they have some quirks and it takes some time and effort to learn about the car and get used to it. I have had a model Y for 10 months. I don't like driving "standard" cars anymore.
I drove my father's Tesla for a summer (operations etc). All the EV aspects and performance etc great. However it is missing the features I expect of a 60k car and that's inexcusable. My father agrees. No AR HUD. Stupid. No drivers screen, the ID7 is again superior here. No mood lighting which adds character, no external light patterns which adds character, awful auto wipers, other cars have superior adaptive headlights, better quality interior.
Awful auto parking. Dangerous.
You can say the features I mention aren't needed and it varies depending on the feature but and what you want but for that money I expect at least some of it.
Was it fast. Yeah. Did I enjoy it. Yeah. I hate driving fossil fuel cars round now. Do I respect it if someone loves theirs? Definitely and I'm supportive of it. Really good car. See I'm balanced.
Yeah mostly techy, nerdy or savvy and mostly Indian ppl seem to be seen in this.
@@italianoftheeast2481 lol. yeah, I can't say you're wrong. I fit in at least one of those categories ... and you can rule out mostly indian.
Got my MY one month ago, it’s a brilliant vehicle, quick when needed, incredibly practical, comfortable with great software. I’m putting miles on this car way faster than I had expected because it’s just so good.
I’ve put 3500 on in just one month 😊
This is so true!
Overall I'd say as a M3 owner for 3 years this is my experience as well. Great car, sometimes a weird bug, but at the end of the day i'm glad I bought it. Just don't waste your money on FSD unless you are ready for a lot of bugs. No software is perfect, but FSD isn't there yet.
FSD was for enthusiasts only until the v11 dropped (11.3). The latest upgrade has been a huge step forward. I've been using it twice as often compared to a month ago. Usability has gone up significantly thanks to overall more smoother controls and navigation improvements. Excited for 11.4, looks promising judging from release notes.
I wouldnt trust FSD in Europe at all.
@@roderickmain9697 FSD beta is not available in Europe, yet.
@@roderickmain9697 it's not available... You don't have the option of trusting
@@roderickmain9697 Not available in Europe. The EU is actively putting regulatory hurdles in place forcing Tesla to remove functional autopilot features, (navigate on autopilot no longer takes off ramps or initiates automatic highway overtaking as it did before) and as a result no discernible European specific FSD development seems to be going on.
Examples: FSD visualisations don't include roundabouts (a large proportion of our road junctions), or pedestrian crossings (The majority of which have no traffic lights associated, but come with legal requirement to allow pedestrian passage).
As such, purchasing FSD in Europe (As I did, 3 years & 55,000 miles ago) is sadly just increasing Tesla's turnover without any value to the customer at all.
I wish they would bring the parking sensors back. My model 3 is one of the last to have them and I've had colleagues complain that the camera system doesn't pick up lower obstacles. I'll probably get the Y though. Hope we get YT Music soon.
any word if YT music is in the works? Not everyone has spotify out there
Model Y now starts at $39,500 in the US after incentives. Crazy!! I might pull the trigger .
As an MYLR owner in the uk I entireIy agree with you. Just hoping that they will release Fsd Beta here in my remaing lifetime
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no disrespect, but there's a sucker born every minute .... are you still waiting for that? and talking about it with a straight face? .... that system is a joke .... impressive 80% of the time, sh!te, 20% of time ... and that's nowhere near good enough. You'll be waiting for a decade before it's even nearly fit for purpose, if that. I'm not sure they're actually up to it.
Hear, hear! I'm in exactly the same position in France.
Remy's the star of this show. Cool kid.
Like that you physically used actual items to show storage capacity instead of just showing an empty trunk or just giving capacity measurements. It's a whole different thing with numbers and what you can actually get in there.
Model Y is just a crazy amount of value. Love mine. Safe, fast, huge interior space, the list goes on.
I have only been fortunate enough to rent one from Hertz (3 times, I think🤔). It was so easy to just get in a go.
Ricky said that he doesn't think that Teslas are all that good looking, well, I don't think that I could disagree with him more. I think that they are beautiful cars.
Ugly
I agree 100% from another performance model y owner, best purchase I ever made, and The family loves it!
@@Hugo-py2ce Have a performance too! I would have gotten the long range with a family though. Guess you got the P for dad ;)
@@busog97641 Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. ;) To me, efficiency is beautiful.
Brilliant review.
I especially love the honesty over a quirk. I’ve driven a shedload of EVs - six for at least a few 1,000 miles - all have a “quirk” or two! 😂
Great video mate
Damn! Fully Charged has now over one million subscribers! Totally missed that milestone. Congrats Robert! And nice Tesla video too =)
Great and concise review!
I've noticed it starts the wipers when there's a lot of trees beside the road. More annoying when on a road with a reduced speed limit if there's rain, it will think it's raining and reduce the limit but not do the wipers....
Thanks Ricky. I love our 2022 TMY LR and all the updates. FSD beta crazy good but wonky at times. Hope you get it in the UK and beyond soon. Thank-you Full Charged Show, Robert, and the whole community. Lotsa love from Toronto ♥♥♥ PS You can do a screen reboot while driving (even while the car is driving in FSD beta!)
Still waiting for mine to arrive in Norway....2 years since i ordered
My 2020 Mod Y I bought in January '23 did the wiper thing on my drive home from the dealer. It seems to have calmed down since I did a reboot, but it's happened to me on almost every road trip. Also, I own a '20 Bolt-EV Premiere with the camera rearview mirror. Man, would that be nice in the Y because it's a wide-angle view with a fast frame rate, really good low light performance and a washer. I could go on because they are a few things I wish both cars could share. My Y is the Midnight Silver with the same induction wheels. which drew me in. Somehow that red doesn't show off the Y's lines as much.
Great review, looking forward to these hitting the used market in a few years time so those on a lower budget can experience the great driving of a Tesla.
You've now got the MG4 as a much more affordable option. And add to that the plethora of affordable EV's being released by BYD, Tesla has had its day!
@@phuketexplorer I'm sure the MG4 is a good car, but it's not in the same category as a Tesla. BYD is going to threaten them eventually but here in UK/Europe they turn up having doubled/tripled in price in comparison to their home market and lose all their competitive edge.
@@phuketexplorer Agree these others are much more affordable, I have an MG ZS EV, but they don't have the MY towing capacity or the ultra reliable charging network that Tesla offer.
@@NickFoster Here in Thailand, the MG4 starts at around the equivalent of £18,600. The UK has no trade agreement with China, so you'll be paying near double for most new EV's. I see companies such Wuling (SAIC group), with their new Bingo, being major players with affordable city cars. They start at little more than £6,000 - and the spec's are truly amazing for the price.
Tesla not particularly my thing but what an excellent, informative & delightful video! 👏👏👏
Best bang for your buck, BY A LOT :)
I recently took a road trip from Washington to California with 2 adults, 2 teenagers, an infant and 2 young kids. I fit them and all their luggage, and used the frunk as a cooler for snacks. The trip went amazing, especially when you can get out and stretch every few hours.
I will say, you do need to scoot the front seats up enough for the 2nd row to move up so the kids on the way back can fit.
I have an R1S on its way however and may trade out.
Really enjoyed Rick's review of the Model Y. Very informative and practical.
We had an Uber that the driver revealed the 3rd row it was pretty cool and he said it was only a $1500 add-on feature which was convenient for our short friend. I mean if you need that slight extra seat go for it but you cannot carry anything in the trunk unless you have roof rack storage.
Sadly the 3rd row is now $4000 option... price went up, but more than offset by the car price reductions, let alone US fed tax credits
I note the windscreen wiper issue.. I have the same problem and its been with me from day one.. 22/6/22.. still not fixed 😢
Great video - thanks for explaining why it makes sense to buy a crossover suv
The wipers on with no rain 🌧️ is a known issue among Autopilot/FSD users.
@8:14 wipers on.. yeah, bug, or dirty windshield (bugs?) over the front cameras ("rain sensor")... you CAN reboot the computer while driving you know, even with AutoPilot and navigation! No need to pull over. Screen just goes blank, AP keeps driving safely. The infotainment is NOT the AP/FSD driving computer.
But, while in AutoPilot/FSD, it requires auto wipers on (to ensure good visibility)... there are ways to turn it off on manual afterward, or, just get out of AutoPilot.
I'm sold on Tesla but don't need or want a bigger car, bring out the Model 2 and thats the one I'll buy.
Great video ❤😊
Great review of the model Y. Seeing the issue with the wipers and the screen going blank for reboot reminded me of another question why can't Tesla just give you a basic operational speedo and turn signal pod maybe as an option? And put the pod location "IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER". Who knows it might be something J.C. Whitney or LL Bean would sell.
I like that the speedo is not hiding behind the steering wheel. Anyway, lots of options doesn’t fit well in Teslas plan it seems.
Bring back the parking sensors ultra sonic and radar.
I would buy one on the spot. 😢
Very good video.
Nice presentation
I love my model y but the automatic windscreen wipers when on autopilot is ridiculous. It comes on for no reason on a sunny day, if I clean the screen etc. I find cancelling autopilot and then manually turning the wipers off sorts the issue but Tesla shouldn’t make it automatic and allow the driver to switch it off.
^^^ THIS!
Okay that multi driver automatic customisation he explains at 6:41 is such a convenience. I hate having my seating position moved by someone so much I try as much to not move the seat when I borrow someone’s car with no seat memory
Yeah, I'm 6'3" and my wife is 5'5" so to have the car remember your seat/mirror/driving style/everything else preferences when you get in is delightful.
Then you are just like me. But in the Tesla it’s not just the seat setting. It’s the steering wheel position, air vent position, HVAC SETTINGS, stereo settings I think even down to the equalizer settings. and with a recent update you can adjust the passenger seat position from the screen in front (or the back for those who have it) so I hope you can also save the passenger seat position to your profile from that update but I have not tested yet.
The model Y Performance is the best car I ever had out of more than 50 different models. Are there still things I don’t like or wish were different? Sure… but no other car is as close to a complete package as this one. And many of the things I miss is possible with aftermarket parts and solutions. Love it!
"You don't need a windscreen wiper hardware control"... So about that...
Can you imagine how Robert Llew or your elderly parents would react when the computer does random stuff or the screen goes blank? Tesla should at least have a heads up display so the velocity is always indicated if the computer has a crazy moment.
If Tesla want to get volume sales in Europe, they need to make a smaller car which better fits our narrower roads and parking bays.
Tesla does not have a demand problem in Europe, or anywhere. There are smaller Teslas coming. Tesla can't build all the cars in the World. It's about time some other manufactures start trying to do something too.
hallelujah..! Ricky fully explains the 7 seat appeal of the Model Y. The rearest seats are generally NOT FOR ADULTS. Why do reviewers continue to ridicule Tesla for providing a child rear seat option? You don't have to buy it, but it's there if you want it.
And there's that Tesla software. I almost wish I didn't know how good it was and how it makes the car more convenient and enjoyable. Why? Because I lease a VW ID3. A really good car let down by the clunkiest BEV software you're ever likely to encounter. ID4 readers know this too because their software is identical. Most, like me, have resorted to Android Auto or Apple Car-Play connected via their phones. It doesn't turn the sows ear into a silk purse, but it helps.
Reviewers that ridicule the obvious have a narrative to sell. Always consider the source. Who said it, who paid for it and who benefits from it.
@@wilfredvanvalkenburgh2874 Well, tbf i have seen the Model Y rearest seats ridiculed only in last few days by a Used Tesla dealer on YT and he's a huge fan. So, while I believe your thought has real merit, it isn't watertight. Some people/fans just aren't getting it that Tesla is providing those seat options for kids, because they don't explain the option like Ricky has clearly done here.
Thank you
Thank you for the video Ricky. You mention the car not being gorgeous. I don't know what else I would want. It's not like there's 20 other great choices. I think it's a great looking car. Thanks again!
The windshield wiper issue is common on some Teslas. We've had a Model Y for 2mths and it happens to us roughly once a week when turning on cruise control (no matter the weather).
😳 once a week, that’s quite frequent.
Happens to me too, on my Y. It can be bright sunshine and they come on with cruise control
me too- bit more often though. (2020 M3LR in France)
not dangerous but highly irritating
As a 7 seater Y owner, this echos my experience with the car as well. Not the sexiest or most exciting car, but it is an extremely capable workhorse for families with kids. Also, the auto wipers will come on sometimes if the forward facing cameras are obstructed. Try some washer fluid next time.
9:43) "couldn't tell you Why?" the wipers came on." I'm in the Frunk: I was dreaming about Seattle. Sorry...
I’ve been driving mine for a couple of months now. It’s a clever car and a country mile way from the competition. The super charger network is outstanding. Some quirks with false positives with the cruise control and windscreen wipers not coming on at night in heavy rain, but then most cars suffer from the odd false positive. Overall, impressive craftsmanship. It needs LiDAR as the camera’s don’t like lowlight conditions and the lack of ultrasonic sensors means you can drive into walls etc. if you don’t watch the cameras. All the other brilliant features more than compensates for these issues.
It's a great car but i far prefer the iD7 announced. Way more features.
@@JohnnyZenith I love the ride of the big I.D. range, but the software of the Tesla and the supercharger network is so far ahead of the competition. Once you have queued at MacDonalds or some other rapid charger you soon realise why people buy Tesla’s. The model Y definitely needs a better suspension setup for our crumpled roads though!
@@knowledgebyte The software on the id7 and going forward is far superior to their older efforts and android auto is a big deal to me. Totally agree with the software and the charger experience on Teslas.
truely a lot of car for the money, hopes the highland or whatever its going to be named will have a nicer front.
Out of the 8 cars in the official IRA list, 4 are Tesla! I think 2023 and 2024 will be good years for Tesla.
= i'm 100% in TSLA Loooooooooong term 😎
@@mikafiltenborg7572 Tesla is already a huge success. Tesla has about a 5 year lead on everyone else, and will probably continue at the same rate for many years to come. But that's not really the point. Transitioning from burning so much "fossil" fuels is. Tesla cannot build all the cars the world will want, but they certainly will lead the way.
When you use Autopilot/FSD the wipers are set to Auto. In Auto mode it often mistakes dust or water spots for rain and turns on the wipers.
It is a good idea to keep the windscreen exceptionally clean infront of the camera.
Except that wiping the glass with just dust and no water damages both the wipers and the glass
@@vitalysavicks6756 Yeah, and it is not that uncommon. I see it happen every few weeks. The AI needs more training on how to recognize rain through the camera.
@@vitalysavicks6756 Then use water.
The windscreen wipers drive me mad. It’s crazy how the car drives itself but they can’t figure out auto wipers.
In the UK they grit the roads and you can’t switch off auto wipers in cruise control or auto pilot. So now we have nice scratch marks in the windscreen from it dragging grit across a dry windscreen constantly.
My dad has this issue, along with hating the missing features he wants. The irrational hate of AR HUDs, cool lighting interior, and cool light patterns externally.
LOL, I had the same thing happen with my Model 3 and the windshield wipers turn on and refuse to turn off. It happened twice.
Sounds a great car.
However I need a car with a roof rack as I carry a kayak most days. Is that possible for this?
Yes
We have a M3LR since 2019, and we are happy with it. But as you said, we don't know HOW happy we can/should be as long we don't drive another EV. And this happened a few months ago: Since November last year we have a 2nd car, it's a Smart EQ. Also fully electric, also ok from driving perspective - but rubbish from software perspective. Unreliable software, bad (or no) customer service on issues, most time no access to the car, although it stands 2meters beside the M3. So, you are completely right: We should enjoy the Tesla and need to accept, that reliability, comfort and capabilities of Tesla software is on another level than the software from other brands. (our only experience is this M3 and this Smart).
Thank you for making us aware of this, sometimes, we forget, how great our M3 is.
We have a Kona EV as a second car. The auto wipers and auto headlights on that work 10x better than our Model 3. literally everything else is worse though...
I'm sure those electric features are nice... But I'd be happy with crank up windows if I could get one for cheap
Nowadays they would cost more to manufacture than the electric ones (seriously).
I'm not a Tesla person, all their cars look the same as each other(exclude the CT) just stretched or squished. The noises that come of them is annoying as well from AP turning on/off and I like at least some buttons a-la Hyundai style. Where I live, not in the US or NA even, the DCFC network is very reliable. I do appreciate how Tesla have brought the legacy automakers out of their fossil slumber and into at least working towards EV production some more than others(ie: Ford/VW). Software will come to the others but as I said I still like some buttons and I like a instrument cluster in front of the driver position. I personally won't own a Tesla, too common and not a car I want to be honest.
I like the car, and thought about getting one, the funny thing was, finally, I could just not accept having to go through a touch screen menu for the most basic of functions, this video shows the problem. Why is there not just a stalk for turning the wipers off! You don't have to have it for everything, but there are probably like 5 or 6 functions for which you want a physical control.
The left stalk has a button at the end, when pressed will activate the wiper once. Then on the screen, you can activate the frequency of the wipers or leave it on auto. However, as demonstrated on this video, the wipers may turn on randomly or go at full speed during lite rainfall. I believe most Tesla drivers do not use the auto wipers.
There may also be a way to activate them via voice command but I haven’t tried it yet.
Absolutely, climate controls, and some other things should be physical and high up on the dashboard to avoid accidents. Pure common sense that car manufacturers are simply ignoring.
@@Nikoo033
Or just tell the Tesla what you want.
I hardly use the touch screen, but command the car by voice.
At least there is one thing listening to me 😁
@@BendeVette that’s very good. 👍🏻 but like the presenter said, if the on-board computer has a bug or dies, then you are left with no support at all 🤷🏻
@@Nikoo033
Don't know if you can reset the computer while driving, but if you can, it is back up again in a jiffy, listening to your commands again.
And having to reset the computer does not happen that much (haven't had to do this yet).
The problem about the wipers: When you set the car in Auto pilot and the camera is not clean (or the computer interprets it as not clean). It activates the wiper.
I think (but am not sure) disabling the Autopilot will disable the wiper again.
After disabling autopilot, the wipers should stop, or you give the voice command to disable auto wiper functionality.
Model Y is THE GOAT. But i stiil prefer the 3 for sportiness :P
😊 the futures looking very good indeed. thank you 🎉🌎🎨
I've seen the future, and its going to be delicious! ;)
In the UK, the charging network is dated, broken and makes using a normal non tesla a real pain in areas near me.
I think the tesla charging network is the jewel in the crown, it mostly seems reliable and fast charging. Elon is not my favourite person of recent times, he's erratic and has upset people who have recently bought a new tesla only to find a week later the price tag has significantly been reduced slapped the faces of recently bought cars. Tesla leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth. The high cost of electricity erks me too. Where is the way out of all of this chaos...
Hopefully a new player 🤞🏻 An experienced EV charger company from the US is about to arrive in the UK, name starts with an F, but can’t remember it.
The Tesal SuperCharger network is the envy of the world, for sure. Elon is quirky for sure, but I like him. Maybe because I'm flawed too. Buyer remorse is a real thing and I get it, but what would you have them do? When you understand the motive, it all makes sense. Tesla is using the downturn in the overall economy to build market share, and it's working. Electricity is getting cheaper, and is already free in some-places and some-times. I understand electricity has actually gone "negative" in Germany at least once, meaning that paid people to use surplus electricity.
just do like me, wait till 2025 or 2026 before making a big purchase decision.
“…competitors, like the ID4…”. 😐🤔 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Windscreen (/shield) wipers can be a bit ...er...quirky. Sometimes you think they should be on and they decide not to be. Fortunately theres "manual" mode. Sometimes they come on for no reason.... I wondered if it was something to do with how it monitors for rain and maybe dead insects confuse it?
No one seems to make a small EV for two people that does not cost bank.
It is because it is very hard to sacrifice batteries for cheaper models. Auto makers need to make more premium models for what they get.
Try Fiat 500 EV and Mini Cooper EV for size in the used car market for pricing. BTW, US drivers reject small vehicles therefore no market therefore no profits therefore your issue. Happy hunting.
No one seems to want them in general, not just electric
We can all thank marketing and capitalism for that. People cry foul about tax rebates for common folk that make these vehicles more attainable, but have no problem supporting the companies that rob is blind. We need to open the borders to Chinese built EVs. We buy everything else from them, and send our things to be manufactured and assembled there. Why not EVs!?!? They have loads of affordable EVs over there. I'd love to see Chinese EV dealerships where Tesla hasn't got any. That would certainly shake things up here.
What price are you thinking?
This is the same car where AutoEV described the ride quality on British roads as "inexcusable", correct? (ok, the 5-seater)
The first batch were really harsh. I’ve got a second batch from the end of June 22 and it’s slightly softer. Apparently the sept 22 and dec 22 batches are even softer as they’ve adjusted for European roads.
It's not the car, but British roads that are "inexcusable."
Drove a late 22 model recently and the ride quality was very poor. Not only firm (you are sort of jiggled around constantly) but the damping struggled when putting the power down or when changing direction.
I have a 22 MYLR 7 seater and it also has a terrible ride. However, I had new snow tires installed shortly after taking possession of the car and the ride quality improved quite a lot. It’s still stiff but not as annoyingly bad with the stock Continentals on. I’m dreading next week when I’ll be getting the all seasons put back on.
@@yl4773
If you have winter tires, don't use all season tires for summer.
It is a compromise.
Next time just buy summer tires for these rims, it is better.
How much is it?
I thought the review was going to include use of roofracks 😢
Good on you Remmy, out and about with dad.....
I had a model 3 and one of the very few grumbles I had about it was the auto wiper sensor. I really did have a mind of its own, other than that it was as near perfect as a car can get.
It doesn't have an auto wiper sensor ... it uses existing cameras to monitor rain instead ... and it doesn't do it quite as reliably as a traditional auto sensor.
@@MrAdopado Ah I see, that explains a lot. Well hopefully an over the air update will sort it. Though I suppose if they haven't sorted it by now maybe they can't with the current hardware?
@@pauldenney7908 For some reason many Teslas rarely have significant wiper issues during the daytime (eg my Model 3). Night time I put mine on manual.
@@MrAdopado you CAN'T put the "auto" piers on manual, if you want to use cruise or lane following, which is completely stupid.
I got mine last month. They just did another price cut. I’m buried in it now damn
I'm underwhelmed by the looks of the 3 and Y. I like the S best looks-wise. But I agree, the three-row Y is the great choice.
There aren’t many possible looks a car can have if you want to reach optimum aerodynamics: this is pretty much the best shape, same as the Hyundai Ioniq 2016-2020.
Have you seen the adhesive overlays that resemble the front of the Model S? I'm not sure exactly what the materials are, but I don't think they are "decals". Probably vinyl, like a paint protection film.
The Y is probably the best all-round EV out there today. I have a 2019 Model 3 and it has been the best car I have ever owned, by a country mile (although I did love the Model S that preceded it 😁). Also, I don't get why Ricky says the Model Y not a good-looking car ... I think the 3, Y and X continue to stand out from the crowd (EV or ICE) with their sleek design. They look way more modern than most cars, with all their fussy metal lines and creases, etc. Where are all these other EVs that are so much better looking? VW ID3-6? Meh. Kia Nero? Hyundai Kona? No way. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a looker, but a bit marmite (technical term). The Kia EV6 is a decent effort but better looking than a Tesla 3 ... nah.
Yeah, ain't it cool there are so many choices out now! All thanks to Tesla!
Personally think the kia EV6 is miles better looking than any of the teslas
Hyaundai ionic 6 looks pretty good.
The windscreen wiper thing is quite commonly reported in the owners groups
I have that pretty regularly, I often switch to full manual driving to stop the wipers (you can turn them off when manual driving).
This is mostly related to an insect or similar blocking the front cameras. The wipers are turned on automatically in an effort to clean/remove this. Best response is to push the wiper fluid button to help clean the windscreen. Most of the time this will see the wipers turn off after about a minute.
They could have added a 50 cent rain sensor. I love driving Tesla but these quirks and constantly removing working features and replacing them with mediocre working features (parking sensors, front radar etc) makes it a real frustrating experience. Also the auto steering often suddenly stops working, phantom brakes, road signs detection not correctly working and so on and so forth… if they could just concentrate more on these things instead of the FSD stuff it could be a great car. 😢
He probably had it set to manual mode by accident 🫠
Given the price, that’d drive me mad. 😂
PLEASE EASE UP ON THE LOUD MUSIC.
When will the 7 seat option come to Europe?
No word at the moment but probably once Giga Berlin is fully ramped
And the Model Y continues to be the only EV car (not pickup truck) that comes with a 7 pin connector for trailer brakes when ordering the tow hitch. That allows one to tow a mid sized pop up camping trailer. I get about 300km range at 95kph with my rig. (185 miles at 60 mph) Which is enough for the one or twice a year camping trip.
Nissan Leaf is the most underrated electric car I believe ,this Tesla is every other car were I live (Iceland)
aparenrly they dont do the extra seats in UK for some reason
The question in the title was never even mentioned.
My only criticism, is that they're so expensive, unless you're in the higher tax bracket or get yourself into quite a bit of debt..
Which is why all I could afford right now, is a 2nd hand 30kwh leaf ..
0:56 "As you can see..."
You should have put the camera above your head or inside the car, instead of outside, as we cannot see anything !!!
Underrated? It's likely to become the best selling SUV in the world this year. And not just EVs.
🏁Tesla model Y will be the most sold carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023 🏆🏁
And it's still underrated.
really good Car Worldwide... especially for families...
It fits on US roads better than UK roads so definitely not for me ... but that goes for most of the recent SUV/Crossover designs.
I think Model Y looks beautiful. Best thing about my Tesla is Autopilot on highways, it takes some much fatigue and boredom from daily commute. Autopilot has gotten very useful and reliably good in the recent software updates.
The best all round car in the world. No wonder it's starting to dominate many markets around the world.
In Australia they are all so expensive that only rich people can afford them!!! And Tesla prices have dropped a cent here!
The car has a good drag coefficient, right? Why did it sound like there was a ton of wind noise when he was driving?
Because when you get rid of engine noise thats what the world sounds like
The Model Y I drove had wind noise at 50mph comparable with other EVs wind noise levels at 70mph. Noisy cabin. Suppose the efficiency Teslas achieve is by reducing weight and effectiveness of sound proofing is reduced.
@@chrischild3667 The one I tried made my 2020 model 3 sound quiet (it really isn't!- our 2017 Ioniq electric was far quieter.). It has something to do with the resonant frequency of the volume of the interior, I believe. Tesla are an amazing company and are achieving great (much needed) strides forward in personal transport, but they don't have the depth of experience in areas such as nvh of interiors. On the other hand, their drivetrain, software and ability to make cars profitably will crush everyone else.
@@richhr89 I agree. I actually was really pleased with the interior quality, space and practicality. Not such a fan of the UI on screen but perhaps something I would grow to learn and love (wifey actually found the UI OK). Shame about the ride quality and nvh like you said, they're smashing it already if they can sort out the noise and ride of the Y then they'd be unstoppable.

I think the new parcel shelf improves matters but it was apparently not a priority in the design of the car. Build quality has improved hugely, however.
My wifey isn't a 'car person' and hardly drives the M3 (probably because I drive it at any opportunity), so she prefers the myriad buttons and 3 displays (!) of her Kona EV to the Tesla UI. The damn thing has a 'start/stop' button... Nuff said!
No spare tire is "good or bad"? Dude that's just plain bad, in what world is not having a spare tire a good thing? Even if you need the space you can take it out for a while.
It's like saying not having airbags can be good for the weight reduction
I mean the trunk is big enough if you want you can always have another spare tire in the back. (On longer roadtrips for example)
But lets be realistic… if you are driving on normal roads and not offroad it is very unlikely that you would be in the need to change your wheel. I personally experienced it only 5 times in over 1 million driven kilometers and over 40 years (not only on roads).
And if it happens you can just call a friend or a tow truck and most people nowadays doesnt even know how to change a tire.
But you actually save weight which resolves in less wear and tear over the years and you save power which is also a bit over the years…
And the main part about it: Tesla saves one wheel per car which keeps down the production price ;D
Kids, can you say, "Auto club?"
@@heth91 I'm capable but often have no desire to change tire on side of road (safety and inconvenience), so AAA is my savior to tow me and get tire fixed in safe location.
If you live in secluded places, yes. Runflat tires will just be fine for most owners.
@@heth91 In 25 years of driving, I had 6 flat tires. I carry a plug kit in in my car with an air compressor. 5 out of 6 times a plug kit repaired it. But 6th time was a nail on the edge of the sidewall. Plug didnt work.
Just saying that Megane Grand Sceinic does that rear seat thing better - those are frankly dangerous...
Those wipers you can't turn off in Autopilot anymore either hence these random problems!
I have the same issue with my model 3
I like the body as bulky sedan that it a 7 seater
I have a T M Y 7-seater. The rear visibility out of the rear window glass is much better than some cars I have owned. It's better than the other four door passenger car I own (LEAF), and by a lot.
Wow! I'm glad to finally see someone comment on what I see as the only real "problem" with the Model Y. Overall a brilliant automobile. A modern day classic. Wait and you will see.
Finally a tesla vid again :)
my (2021 MIC M3 SR+) windscreen wipers do this sometimes also, I have to turn them off manually and then re-enable some time later.. Works, so far.. Annoying, but not as annoying as the crap phone/music/bluetooth integration or lack of Carplay.. I find the Model Y fugly..
Love the car, and I think the Y would be the perfect fit for our family, but it's just too expensive. I don't think I could get $70k NZD past the wife, and with interest rates being as they are, a loan isn't feasible. With the government clean car discount, trade-in of our current petrol SUV and a deposit we'd still be looking at $1,000+ per month over 5 years. I think it's a car for those with quite a bit of spare cash.
the mandatory, "auto" wipers on AP (or lane keeping) is the ONLY annoying (and potentially dangerous) bug. REALLY annoying in my Model 3. Just WHY?
Didnt like the video overlays, a bit confusing (eg the scrolling in menu while driving and talking about software)
windscreen wipers 😆
I've heard of other Model Y owners having a similar problem with the windscreen wipers and autopilot.
I'm a model 3 owner, same issue with thel wiper glitch.
8:38 - happens to my car as well. It may have something to do with engaging Enhanced Autopilot. 🙄
I have the same issue with my model 3, I don't have enhanced autopilot.
