Make sure you are subscribed for the tire efficiency test video!
I am looking forward to this video! If you have links of where to purchase them then that would be baller!
Hey GJeebs. Love your sarcasm and honest car reviews. Just subscribed! I'm currently in a 2017 Prius but looking at Tesla for my next vehicle!
its ruined you, you drive a power wheels instead of an adults vehicle.
Hey there! I was also a German car addict, mainly BMW's with a decent amount of M vehicles. But quickly got disillusioned as the Ultimate Driving Machine kept growing in weight and size each year, not to mention that their classic design language seemed to go out the window at some point. A brief birght spot was when BMW introduced the i3 and i8, both future-powered and innovative in materials and design. My wife and I had 3 different i3s over the years and loved them; really an underappreciated early-EV! But BMW squandered their early-move advantage with the i-brand and started to fall behind in the transition. Now I have a Tesla Model Y Performance and I can confidently say that I will never have another ICE car again! And chances are that I will stick with Tesla as long as they continue to make the most efficient and minimal EVs out there. Can't wait for my Cybertruck!!
The only people who hate EVs are people who have never driven one
It seems to the ride quality is similar to BMW or VW in terms of firmness as well as the seat foam.
@@soysauce6977 Exactly!
Thank you! ❤
That is the strangest post ever. You want BMW to keep the classic design language, but you like BMW i3. You think BMWs M line got too heavy, but you drive a model Y and you are waiting for a Cybertruck. You want Tesla to make minimal and efficient EVs, but you want a Cybertruck.
Something tells me you do not really understand cars.
I hate these click bait titles. A lot of people will see the title, not bother watching it and have their negative impressions of EV (specifically Tesla) reinforced.
I thought it might have meant it ruined him in terms of ruining his love for ICE cars. But yeah people can easily see that, not watch the actual vid, and jump to conclusions.
Give us a little credit.
I said "a lot" of people and I'm not wrong. Go talk to any boomer about EV's. (scotty Kilmer for example). @@ironnick1356
What? This title is a postive reinforcement not a negative one. It means he loves it and ruined him for all other vehicles.
@@Dark_Vader888 Currently 52 people disagree with your interpretation of the title. But we are living in an age where "literally" doesn't even mean "literally" anymore. Obviously people who watch the video will get the sarcastic nature of the title. But those who don't bother watching it, might be inclined to think Teslas suck.
I can come up with a whole list of things I appreciate so much about my Tesla. All of the automatic settings make it so easy. Auto headlights, wipers, climate control are great for me. Putting the climate on dog mode or Keep makes it cooler in the summer, especially coming out of the grocery store. Speaking of the grocery store, I love the lower storage in the back to put all the bags in. Keeps stuff from falling over. The streaming music is fabulous. I can play anything I want. Lastly is the navigation. I will admit to not being great with directions. Just putting in the address and getting turn by turn directions has saved me several times. And not going to a gas station is the best!
Thank you! 😍
Almost everything you said isn’t unique to a Tesla.
The auto wiper really terrible from what I heard among my community
Why I’m ruined by Tesla:
My top 5 likes:
The company. All they’ve ever built is EVs. They are dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced like no other EV company, and build an amazing product.
The technology. From the screen, to the software, to the phone app, to the OTA updates - all are so terrific!
The driving experience. Yes, I have the cheapest, smallest, slowest Tesla - but it is just a hoot to drive! I love taking it on the twisty mountain roads, whipping it around corners. And fun in the city and on the interstate and the highways and byways.
Capacity. We (2 adults and 2 teenage boys) have gone on family vacations of 7-10 days, 2,000+ miles. For a midsized sedan, it’s amazing just how much stuff it can hold. We’ve put all our stuff in the trunk, frunk, and sub trunk areas. Oh, and also a Modern Spare tire! That kept the passenger cabin free for just the humans!
The Supercharger network. This car has been up and down the West Coast and across the US. In all my drives in 2.5 years, in megatropolisis and out in the boondocks, on interstates and backcountry roads, I’ve never had range or charger anxiety. And only one wait, for 5 minutes, in Glenwood Springs, CO.
Am I ruined? YES!
And I’m soooo happy to be soooo ruined!
For pure city driving, Tesla's price vs performance vs luxury is unbeatable. After test driving, I instantaneously sold my X6M to get a Model Y which is roomier, faster, quieter, with better handling. Best part? I'm saving ~5k per year on gas and I'm well below the average mileage per year.
wait, you have no issues with the suspension system? AFAIK X6M is less bumpy compared to MY.
@@seppi3201 Over tiny shallow bumps, X6M is able to soak them up slightly better. Large bumps, the extra weight trumps X6M's air suspension (although, it's already quite stiff for an air suspension due to it being an M car). The entire car would wobble and jiggle over a manhole that has a ~2 inch drop. The MY would go over these larger bumps with ease and bounce back with confidence. X6M almost felt like you lose control of the car. I've also previously owned a Cayenne GTS with air suspension, a X6 M50i with air suspension, M3 F80, M4 F82, M3 E92, 335i E92 and quite a few more to compare with.
@@WhatTheFlipOfficial thanks man! I am currently considering the model Y haha.
Have a model y performance 2022 and the suspension is horrible.
@@dufd11 Can't speak for the pre-2023 non-comfort suspension, especially the lowered performance one. 2023 comfort is stiff, but comfortably stiff. Any harsher, it'd be like an M SUV or Cayenne GTS.
Halloween edition: when you turn on the interior tesla cam, you see somebody sitting in the driver seat, staring straight at the camera. You rush to the garage to confront the intruder, but the car is locked and nobody is in sight.
i think the self driving is honestly personnel preference because i love it on mine it helps a lot really
I agree. I now drive a regular car and I am just disgusted. I am forever spoiled by the tech!
Speaking of infidelity, my wife and neighbor broke my FlexiSpot desk. Glad I can order a replacement at a discount! And yes, they are very durable. My wife is a big girl. FML
hahahahaha I'll add this to my next ad segment
She still in the dog house?
😅
Wait..
@@mt2nv1sounds like she wouldn't fit. Jkjk
"For virtue signaling at grocery stores" 🤣🤣👍🏼
Safety and infidelity 😅😅😅
I laughed when I heard that also. hhahaha
I just subscribed based off that alone!!! 😂
I laughed hard at that too. 😂😂😂
Love Gjeebs humor and zingers sprinkled in the video. It's too bad that EVs have become politicized in the states. Lots of ignorance in the world I'm afraid. As a centrist and rational person... I told my in-laws I bought a Tesla this past summer not to save the world--but because they are fantastic cars, fun to drive, and cutting edge tech.
Same!🙄😂
Yeah God forbid that anyone try to save the world.😂
@@davidrink1291 Its a useless and unattainable goal. SO just buy the best car. :)
@@lonepalm73 It's not about saving the world, it's about not making it a living hell for future generations. That's a pretty attainable goal imho.
I love your content man. Really do. Keep on striving. 🔥
Coming from Audi S7 and Audi RS4 B9 im saying I have the same amount of fun with my Model y Performance + getting almost cost free driving around town vs the Audis that stole 300-400 euros in a month on petrol + the crazy maintenance costs 1000+ euros a year.
Always great content in your channel.
One question, I'm looking for a sunshade but there are so many options, which one are you using?
Thank you for the info.
This is the best one and code Gjeebs will save you 10% bit.ly/3peBkK1
Thanks for the comparison. I always use recirculate b/c I live in a big city to keep ICE fumes out. Also, A/C doesn't have to work as hard to maintain temp.
Dog mode along with many of the things you mentioned ruined me for driving any other car. Great execration when I need it, comfortable seats, good stereo, just an all around great ride 🙌👍😎
Yea the list goes on
God bless dog mode.
I Googled blinker fluid. thx.
I don't think any EV can beat Tesla on efficiency, I charged my 2023 model Y long range to 260 miles, I drove 180 miles and when I got home I still had 90 miles of range left, I was averaging 225 Wh/mi.
My lifetime average in a RWD model 3 is 181Wh/mi - I get under 160Wh/mi on my daily commute (ruined by driving my daughter to school 1500ft up a hill a few times a week).I have driven over 330mi between charges in a car rated for 272.
I’m about 400 w/h avg in a Model X ludicrous. I wish I could get in the 200’s 🤯
Excellent video man!! You have given me so much information.
Question? What do you have on the ceiling of your model Y to block out the sun? We are looking at buying one but having something to keep the sun out of the babies eyes would be awesome. Thank you
Great video thanks for sharing! Can you sell me on what yr/trim is the best USED M3 to buy? Thanks!!!!
Really do love your videos. I noticed that your windows are tinted. I just got my tinted and after picking my Y up I put window down and noticed that the tint did not go up to the top. Is it the same on yours? Thanks. Stan
Yea it’s a precut template and they keep it short of the edge so it doesn’t get messed up when the window goes up and down
Temperature differential should be the factor that most effects air conditioner efficiency. Cabin hotter than outside … start out in fresh, then switch to recirculating as the cabin temp falls below outside temp. Certainly worked best from a comfort standpoint, when I lived in Florida. Recirculating once cabin is at comfort level is easier on system overall including the fan.
Yup, this... especially on Auto setting (which is recommended for best efficiency), the car really figures out the least work/energy it has to use to keep the car at desired temp.
Constantly cooling new fresh hot air uses a lot more power than maintaining already-cool interior air...
of course, you also get a little bit more stuffy inside, but..
One thing I like about the Tesla HVAC is the great filter- even 3 w/o HEPA etc, I barely smell anything! Some old diesel trucks etc still smell, but... now I can drive past some smelly dairy cow farms on highway that I always had to put recirculate on to block cow poo smell... Tesla, I just drive by.
Be aware though that on recirculate mode, a car full of people can exhaust the oxygen on a long trip with people gradually falling asleep.
Love the presentation style. Great job and makes it fun to learn.
how do you get the air to come from the front?
Can you please talk about recirculation mode and cabin smell? I saw a video that a vent closes, like in car wash mode, that prevents water from getting into the air filter. Seems like staying in recirculation mode would help keep water off the filter and eliminate or reduce cabin smell. I rarely have dirty sock cabin smell and I think it's b/c I use recirulation most of the time rain or shine.
Love the videos and tips. What ceiling sunshade are you using? Tesla's? You may have shared it before but please let us all know. Especially since you live in AZ, Im sure its very helpful. I live in southern California and at least half the year its warm to hot and very often; sunny!
We just got a Y and the glass roof and radiating heat was a major concern before. Its not summer yet but I'm sure it will make a difference when its sunny all the time and in the 80's, 90's and beyond.
thank you.

Great road trip car too. Went from phoenix to Tahoe and back with our 3 year old. Great charging locations made it a breeze
Is the information on the main screen available in other languages?
The entire vehicle screams VIRTUE SIGNAL - and I LOVE that! (I have a ‘21 M3 SR+, which is amazing!) but it’s nice to have the reusable bags as they are portable.
I’ve got 50+ years of driving, and I’d say my Tesla has totally SPOILED me. No way would I go back to the ancient 19th century “tech” of fossil fuels. Yuk.
Great content, and nice man spread. You’ve got it all going on. 😂
what are reusable bags ? I’m curious
@@maxflight777 reusable grocery bags so you don't use plastic bags as a one time thing.
we have flooding in oklahoma and heavy rain how does that handel the rain or floods? 5 inchs of water? the front splash guard looks cheap.. can the Auto pilot work when its raining?
Great video bro! Liked and subscribed… where you at in Az?
As someone who’s had EAP/FSD on my Teslas since 2018, curious why you aren’t a fan (I heard your “not worth it” comment). The reason I’m asking is because I’m selling my 2017 Model X and getting a Y and was debating whether I should spring for the EAP upgrade. Is regular Autopilot that good or are you a driver who always wants to be in total control of the car? If reg AP is good enough, I’ll consider just pocketing the $6k instead. Your thoughts?
Gjeebs made me buy my Model Y too!.....I'm also ruined!
I was ruined before him. I was first!
What about using the heated or chilled seats Vs the vents ?
Unfortunately the Y doesn’t have cooling seats. Only the S & X have that. I think the new Model 3 that’s coming out has cooled seats though so it’s likely coming to the refreshed Y.
The Tesla warranty was cut back during 2020 down from 8yrs to 4yrs. Reason for the extra space under the rear storage is no spare tire, this is actually a trend with many cars due to needing to turq the tires on and thus requiring roadside assistance.
Educational and enjoy your style. Thank you for what you do!
Thanks for watching!
Great content love your videos. I'm convinced to go with a Model Y. The interior sunroof cover looks real nice, can you share the product link?
Thanks for the support! sunroof cover can be found here and code Gjeebs will save you 10%: bit.ly/3peBkK1
I Turo-ed a MS in San Diego and it was such a nice car (fast, luxurious, sporty). I was impressed that the owner was able to give me access to use his car via the Tesla app. As nice as the MS was, I still think my MY is more comfortable and practical.
Yea that's another great feature handing over a key with a text
Your examples are hilarious 😂😂 Track your wife visiting the delivery guy again... Eat at all the buffets you want and the desk will still lift you 🤣
Good video! As a Ford Mach-e owner, I agree with the software update comments. I’m on my tenth major update since I bought the car last year. I’ve put 20,000 miles on the car so far and love it.
I do wish I had the interior and exterior cameras like you do. I may purchase a MY if I test drive it and find they’ve updated the suspension. Still not gonna give up my 1999 Lexus SC400 V8. Though I now absolutely HATE going to the gas station and spending $80 for the experience. It gets about the same range - 300 miles - as my Mach-e.
By the way, one of my vendors recently purchased a 2010 Tesla Model S with 140,000 miles. He was only getting about 210 miles of range, so spent $1000 to refresh the battery and now gets more than 300 miles.
He only spent $1,000 and now gets over 300 miles of range?!
@@Gjeebs Yes. Found a non-Tesla shop that does Tesla and they refreshed the battery and replaced several cells. Nice car!
@@KaiPonteNice. I'm looking for an older MS. Seeing your comment gives me hope as I'm really on the fence about buying an out of warranty S.
@@BradKwfc He's since put about 4000 miles on it. He did have to fix the air ride suspension. Something was wrong with it. Other than that it has been flawless.
“Virtue signaling at grocery stores”… hahaha! - I just subscribed
Thanks to your other video, I switched to Chill mode to get more mileage out of my tires. It would be cool though if Tesla had a turbo button for when you need a momentary quick acceleration merging in traffic without having to change it on the screen.
Its called excerator pedal
Comparing costs gas vs electricity, varies widely in different parts of the country. I’m on the West Coast where gas is $6.50/gal, and even electricity is fairly high at .20/Kwh at home and .35/Kwh at Superchargers (actually demand priced higher at times). I regularly drive a 100 mile loop and I calculate I spend $5 for home electricity and $6 for tire wear! I’m about half way through my original set of tires, and the next set will cost me $1500. (25000 miles/100 miles is 250 trips, $1500/250 = $6 per trip) That’s a bit eye popping. 👀. I’m looking forward to your up coming video on EV tire replacements. My old gas powered SUV got 20 mpg, 100 miles / 20 mpg is 5 gallons of gas. At $6.50/gal, that’s $32.50 per trip. The SUV tires lasted about 40,000 miles but only cost $1000. 40,000 miles/100miles is 400 trips and $1000/400 is $2.50 of tire wear per trip bringing the gas SUV cost per 100 mile trip to $35. A full analysis would also compare the cost of insurance and other maintenance. The insurance is, of course, more for the Tesla, but other maintenance is less.
I don't know what's exact condition or here in India, we are driving with same tyre as of ice cars and in ev tyres are lasting 60k mile minimum while in similar ice it is lasting 40k miles only. By the way can you please let us know which ice n ev u are driving
I live off the grid. Can I program my Tesla to charge only when the sun is shining?
Yes but you have to have some sort of energy storage and you can choose to only charge when using solar
So many BMW owners forget that blinker fluid needs to be filled at delivery. I wish BMW would make it a factory fitted item.
When you do your EV tire comparison video, I would greatly appreciate any info or advice for PA winter driving. Not sure you will make it to Pitt to do any portion of that video, but there is not enough information out there on various tire types even with AWD Tesla for performance and snow or all weather type tires relating to PA hilly driving. If you’re from PA then you know what I mean when I say steep “hilly” - park your car at night and hope it’s still there by morning type hills. 😅 Thanks for all you do in the Tesla family & will continue to watch and laugh - as always.
Does the interior roof covering help make the cabin quieter?
Maybe a little but mainly just great for heat reduction
"the front suck" 😂 I love your videos 😂 the subtle humor is on point.
Ironic given the cabin air intake is at the bottom of the windshield, where it meets the hood. Same as all other modern cars. The front intake is for the radiator(s) and A/C condenser.
Love your videos Jeebs!
I love that you love them!
That's what's wrong with all the other brand ev's. People say EV's are not ready from prime time. That's because they bought a shitty VW and are trying to use the shit chargers where half a broken or too far apart from each other, then bitch about how shitty charging is and it takes to long. Everyone reading this, BUY A TESLA and you won't have any of these problems. Once the other cars have NACS now you will have a decent experience. Although if you care about technology and having the best for most likely less money than a lessor EV, you should still buy a tesla.
End Rant.
Can you post a link to your iPhone or cell phone holder on your Tesla screen in this video? Thank you for your videos. They’ve been a big help.!

I’m surprised you don’t like any of the auto-drive options. That is my favorite feature of the car. Of course, I’m older and enjoy taking it easy while the car takes me to my destination.
I love autopilot I just don't see the value in the other paid options but I understand there are people who love them
I think autopilot annoying… not sure about self driving
@@Gjeebs I agree. Autopilot standard with cruise control or even auto-steer is useful but the self-driving and things just aren't worth the cash (to me anyhow). Great tech but still has a long way to go before I can justify spending 10-20% of the car's cost for extras.
@@Shark73PoolLook at the videos of the software version 12 - it looks like it's far enough along that a new model Y bought today has a sporting chance of achieving unsupervised self-driving before its battery dies.
Great video very informative
For a minute there I thought you were parked next to a cyber truck 😂
If you live in Arizona you probably don’t know the reason fresh air is used.
It’s because in cold states, recirculated air causes the windshield to fog on the inside from your own breath. So one heats the outside air. Less efficient in an EV, but necessary to see.
This is not a problem for AC use in warm weather.
Great car I have 31k on a Perform model. Cant imagine any other vehicle. Cybertruck Tri Motor ordered day one, cant wait!
Do you find the tire pressure to be accurate on the screen? When I use to high-quality gauges they tell me I have 42 psi, but I scream tells me I have 39 psi. Wonder if anybody else has an issue
My Y matches what my pump shows. Just happen to pump up the tires today b/c the temp dropped outside so air pressure dropped to 37 - set the pump to 42 and when I finished the car showed 42
I would think that the car just trusts the in-tire sensors. If they're inaccurate, then so will the on-screen display be.
You have mastered the art of subtle hilarity.
The Tesla Flex channel did a review of a powered sunshade on the Model Y that he installed. Wondering if you ever thought of doing a review on it.
Do you recommend getting tires rotated at Tesla or some place like discount tire?
Tesla charges for it so I would go to discount tire. they do a nice job and if you request it they will even do the black weights for balancing which looks a lot better on the black wheels. You have to call ahead for that but it's worth it for me.
@@Gjeebs that’s a great tip! I would have never thought to ask for the black weights. Thank you!
I had a 2014 model S p85, and old puppy and you can even teach those dogs new tricks.. I got the mcu upgrade (what other company does that) they replaced both of my screens, and it still was getting updates.. I sold it and bought a Y. I too am ruined.
Curious if recirculating the air improves anything in colder climates. I know you're in Arizona but I'll never ever see the 97 degrees you mentioned where I live, and am curious if recirculating the air is worth it at all for road trips in colder climates.
Do the test I did and let me know!
Recirculation is useful with the AC active in order to remove cabin moisture that causes your windows to fog up or, where I live, frost up on the inside. If you use Recirculation during the winter without the AC on, then your windows will quickly fog/frost on the inside.
Just be aware that recirculating air on a long trip may cause CO2 levels to build up in the cabin. I tested this using a CO2 meter on a model 3 and nissan leaf and likely applies to other cars. At about an hour of driving, CO2 levels exceeded 900ppm with air con on recirc. This doesnt happen when drawing fresh air.
Great video, thanks!
That blinker fluid is crazy expensive!
The thing I appreciate most about my tesla is my 9 hour drive in my diesel truck is now a 14 hour drive because I have to stop and charge every 200 miles. Around town it's great, but my time is money and that 5 extra hours cost a lot of money. The range just isn't there for me to convert to electric.
Understandable. The frequent charging was a drawback on trips.
You can sync your charging stops with your eating and pit stops on road trips. If you navigate to a Supercharger, the battery will be conditioned to be charged when you arrive at it. You should be able to charge from 20 to 80% in 20 minutes. Driving over 70 mph will make your charging stops more frequent and your trip take longer.
LOL! I once checked up on my husband's location while he was visiting 'a friend'! It now keeps us both faithful! Thanks for bringing that up! 🥰BTW, you have nice and white teeth! 🦷
You and your husband check on each others locations ??? Sounds like jail not marriage.
Command strip your garage door opener to the back of the display.
Just traded in my 2020 Model 3 for a Model Y because I had 115k miles on it. Glad I made the upgrade.
How was the 3 holding up with 115k miles?
@@Tulipo08 No issues at all besides cosmetic. Rock chips in windshield and bumper. The few times I’ve taken it into the service center was for new tires and to have the front suspension replaced due to a loud squeak/popping noise (twice). If I didn’t need more space and wasn’t skeptical of a complete failure after the 120k warranty expiration I would have kept it.
@@desmondstanley4372 was the suspension covered under warranty?
@@Tulipo08 The suspension is covered under warranty until 50k miles. I’ve had issues with the front suspension squeaking twice before going past 50k and both times I paid nothing. In fact to most amount of money I’ve put into repair maintenance is new tires. I’ve probably spent a total of less than 5k the entire time I had my M3 which includes 3 entire sets of tire changes throughout ownership.
@@desmondstanley4372that’s awesome. I have a 2022 Y and a 2023 X. Both clearly under warranty so no out of pocket costs yet but I know that X will cost me more in the long run lol
Love the autopilot also on Teslas, it makes long trips so fast and easy. Can’t get it with petrol Bmws and Audis
You mentioned blinker fluid cost on bmw's, but you forgot to mention that most of them it leaks all out before it even leaves the factory, and once it leaks out it can't be fixed usually.
Mirrors are attached to your profile. Once it’s set, why would you need to touch it? Automatically adjusts for the driver.
Right but if someone else is driving or you get a rental car that is a Tesla that is what I am talking about
@@Gjeebs fair point.
At 9:45 I was amazed to the the wide range on prices to Super Charge per kWh from .28 up to .52 per kWh.
The price depends on the demand. Higher rates during the day. The costs per kwh are listed on the phone app and in the car.
You sold the Macan!?! That was a sweet optioned & color combo.
Serious question...what do Tesla owners do when the HV battery warranty runs out? I guess if the vehicle is paid off, it makes sense to keep going. I just bought a 21M3 and have about 80k or 5 years worth of warranty left. I'll never be in a situation with 5 figures laying around to spend on another battery.
You came a long way from those ford focus ST days.
Picked up my first Model Y 3 days ago. On day 3 it suddenly dawned on me that ICE cars are just ridiculously stupid compared to the MY. And I've been driving those ICE cars for decades. I think that might make me stupid by proxy. But at least I'm a happy stupid now!
Looking forward to the tire episodes.
Yea I am excited for that
Love all your little side comments 🤣 you gained a subscriber
but what about ride refinement. interior rattles?
refinement is fine on the 3 and y now it's the S that has the most issues weirdly
You blacked out the top of the car. What happened to the white roof wrap?
Did the white roof make a big difference in the summer?
I only had it for a few months a while back. It did help a lot
@@GjeebsI wish you made more videos showing the efficiency improvements.
I plan to get a white/white model 3 and without a garage to park in, I feel like that will be the best way to keep the battery as cool as possible in the summer.
I agree, love my model Y.
14:41 I think you meant 285 Wh/Mi not 385? :)
**** at the end you said 385 watt hours when you turned off recirculate. I believe you meant 285 based on the percentage you cited immediately after the 385 number.
yes my bad thank you
@@Gjeebs after all, the sun was in your eyes.
Keep up the awesomely entertaining videos!
How much are my blinker fluid savings over the life ownership by switching to the model y
Some say thousands
Love the click-bait style heading 😅 Great video, thanks!
Paid for the boost. Should have just paid 3k more for the performance package and receive all the upgrades that come with it.
Thanks for your humor and facts that only confirm why I enjoy driving my model y!
Appreciate you watching
Totally agree with you on the software updates, they add so much value and improve customer satisfaction.
Our F-150 Lightning OTA updates are laughable (almost nothing added) compared to our MY.
and the Ford app and screens are MUCH worse, too. Very frustrating and hard to use.. really, you can't adjust the POWER nor % charge limit onscreen, or app, w/o going into deep per-location menus! Ridiculous! Remote climate worked half the time. Phone lock/unlock was also wonky and unreliable, and hard to tell if it worked or not (there is no "padlock" icon to show current status!)
Rivian is closest, mostly they just copied nearly every Tesla feature (even Sentry Cam and dog/camp HVAC mode), but... still doesn't work as well.
Ford is distant third... some EVs, don't even have trip/charge planning still in the nav!!!
Are you in AZ?
You can fill up a lot of the extra you paid for the EV
The most important feature on this computer on wheels is knowing where you can top up!
And if you cannot charge, how to tow the EV and where it is broken down
The only way you are going to get stranded with a dead battery is if you don't pay attention. The navigation will take care of you.
Love my 2023 Model Y. Cons: windows leak during hands free car wash… leaks inside the cabin… Bluetooth is substandard… always have to call that my Bluetooth is out again..
It's possible that your Bluetooth problem is your phone.
@@Garrison169 my phone's bt works flawlessly in my 2008 prius.
neighbor got 2023 model y and it cant even detect my phone at all.
the problem is the tesla
@@FractalPrism. Why should the Tesla bt pair with your phone when you don't have the Tesla app on it?
I suggest choose the recirculating air after going to the gym or releasing methane for personalized customization
This is true
@@Gjeebs❤oopsoo.

Why not use AUTO climate mode instead of manual, especially during a test?
You must not have Hills where you live . My average over 6500 miles is around 300 watts per mile . If I go on the 150 mile trip to the lake an back with a sailboard on the racks it uses around 240 miles of range (around 350 to 375 watts per mile). I have hills where I liver but the temp is never very hot or cold. 2023 Model Y LR delivered at the end of March. No complaints about the way the car works . Auto Pilot scares me if there is a lot of traffic around. Also electricity is very high in california but gas has been around 6 bucks a gallon for most of the year electricity at peak times is 40 to 50 cents a kilowatt. PGE off peak charging rate is 24 cents a kw but I have Solar also even though the Electric company's in California are trying to kill it .
I don’t understand why an American car company releases there car (Highland) in another country first.
12:17 so weird! I was considering trading in my Model 3 for an Integra and this comes up...
I think you meant to say 285 wh/mi for the fresh air intake and not 385 wh/mi.
Yep my bad
How about fixing the video? Lots of people edit or add overlay text and then re-upload. @@Gjeebs
