- It's hard to believe, but we have put 50,000 miles on our 2021 Tesla Model Y! So what do we think after two and a half years and all those miles, including about 30,000 miles of road trips?! We review software updates, tires, sleeping in the Model Y, the supercharger experience, charging at home, cost of gas vs charging, cost of maintenance and service, and more! What's the verdict after 50,000 miles?

I hit 50,000 miles in my Model Y two months ago. Got it in october 2021. Have gone on numerous road trips both for work and leisure. A lot of car camping, too.
I car camped in Rocky Mountains and Moab a few weeks ago. Was amazing! So much fun.
I'm approaching 200k miles in my 2018 M3.
Jeebus. You drive for work I take it?
How's the car holding up, how much battery degradation have you experienced?
Yeah, I’m curious also, I have a 7/2018 M3LRRWD @ 68k please elaborate! 😀
how is it riding now
38k here from 9/2018
I picked up my Model Y 6 days after you and have slightly more miles on mine for all the same reasons you list. Love it.
Congratulations 🎉 Happy driving! I’ve had mine 13 months now 😊
Still doing good at almost 150,000 miles on my Model 3!
How many sets of tyres have you been through? Is the battery original? Is the suspension original?
@@MegaWilderness I don't have the tire info on hand. I know when I was sticking to the OEM Michelin Primacy tires they only got me maybe 20k miles. Possibly less. Once I switched to a better all season Continental, they have been lasting for over 30k miles and I have been bad at rotating them these last six months. The tread is starting to look questionable.
The battery is original. I use Scan My Tesla to monitor various stats. My estimate is I have about 10% degradation. 85% of my charging is on Super chargers because I don't have a driveway at the house. On good weather days, I charge from one of my outside 120v outlets, slowly... Lol But anyway I do abuse it more than you should.
The suspension is original. I have had the control arms replaced once in 2021 because they were squeaking. Apparently this is a known issue and I have another appointment tomorrow for the same thing. However, since this is known, they have redesigned them and hopefully this will be the last time I need to do this. Also they are providing the fix at cost of parts ($192.79) plus tax. This is nice since labor I think would have been around $300. I didn't need to say anything either, the estimate very quickly came back with the reduced price.
Other stuff I've needed. In early 2019 I had mobile service replace two rear lights filling with water. Easy and fast. I had my 12v battery finally go this last January. Mobile service tried to replace it and found my frunk latch wouldn't open. They quickly got me into the service center and got that and the battery handled in an afternoon.
Also in 2019 the driver's side seat heater would not always work. It took three visits before they figured out a cable harness was pulling too much and causing a bad connection. During one visit they also updated me to AP HW3, but the seat still didn't work and AP kept crashing (the software only lol). On the next visit they found the harness and fixed both finally!
And last in 2021 one of the vent motors for controlling where the air flows broke and was stuck in one position. This wasn't too expensive but it took them a whole weekend to do. I don't think that breaks for many people and they weren't used to it. I got a Model X loaner for that.
We are at 44k miles in our Model 3 still on original tires. We switch to winter tires in the winter.
Personally, I find running my MY P in chill mode helps save tires. Chill mode still leaps faster than most ICE. But, better on tires. :) Also, it handles so well, it is easy to go around corners, roundabouts at go cart enthusiasm. That also hurts tire wear. It is so smooth and capable, even close within speed limits, to drive sporty.
It is the best overall vehicle ever owned. Have owned many many.
Ditto
I just picked up a new Y yesterday and I like Chill mode. It’s less likely to cause motion sickness, smoother and easier on the tires and whole car in general. I’m planning to leave it in that mode all the time. Still very fast.
@@mylesgray3470 good idea. You can program one is those S3XY buttons to pop out of Chill. Another one to move to track mode. You can find these cordless items online. Just in case you feel the need for deserved extra speed. :)
Congrats on the purchase Laine🎉
I just crossed 30,000 miles on my '22 MYP (had it less than a year) and have traveled from Vermont to California. Michelin tires still have good tread and I have a heavy foot. I can't believe in any other car, I'd have done 10 oil changes and other maintenance. Wild. Will never go back.
Oil change every 3,000 miles? That's excessive. I only have to do it every 7K miles and full synthetic can go 10K.
@@TecnamTwin Not on the last car I've owned. Owners manual said 5000 miles of normal driving. 3000 miles if in "extreme conditions" or something like that. My car's been through 19F below zero, 122F, and my own heavy foot. I think extreme counts.
I was at a party the other day and said what you just said: "given a choice I'd always take a road trip in the EV; never in the gas car". That seemed to surprise everyone.
It's amazing. I have an S but I know people who have bought Volvo and BMW EVs and haven't even considered Tesla - I put it down to advertising and a general lack of good review information in the more mainstream chanels
On your recommendation, I just put Hankook tires on my MYP. Keep reporting your experience. Thanks.
I wish you'd spent a little less time repeating over and over again that the car accelerates and handles well, is spacious and economical to operate and instead used the time to cover things in a little more depth. For a car review, you're a little short on details. How has the battery held up? How is the road noise (when you're not driving on South Carolina roads)? How is the upholstery holding up? How is the sound system? Seat comfort? Headlight coverage? Do you miss the lack of physical controls?
I like that you mentioned what appears to be the car's one big drawback: It goes through tires quickly.
Have you considered taking the time to make some point-form notes on what you would like to cover instead of rambling for 20 minutes? What would you tell your son if he stood up in front of his class and gave a presentation like this?
Your videos contain good information and are well lit and miked, always sharp and in focus, and you have interesting, worthwhile ideas. I might subscribe if you worked on organizing your delivery and cut down on the repetition.
The Michelin PS4 at Costco (the Costco customer only version) have transformed our Tesla, smoother ride and longer lasting.
Have a great trip! Hey, you mentioned putting the Hankook Ion series on the Y. I am looking at those for my 3 before winter. Have you done a review on those? If not, could you do that or give me some insight into what you think of them? Thanks!
I've got 19,186 miles in 7 months pulled trailers about 3000 miles and love it. We got my wife a model 3 long range and love it just as much. Living in Michigan it didn't take long in winter gas fill
ups in freezing weather for my wife to get her Tesla.
I should be hitting 2,000 miles this weekend with my new Y. Have so many trips planned for this summer!
Current long range model 3’s have dual motors. Only the standard range has a single motor. You may want to check your model 3 motors.
Wow, just made 50,000 miles on my 2020 Model 3 SR+ also(September 2020 delivery) , still love it!
Have you looked into Tein Enduro+ adjustable shocks? There's a TH-cam video of replacing the Model Y rear shocks to make the ride smoother.
Teslas are selling NEW for around $30,000 - with IRA discounts included - NOW. NO gasoline EVER. No Oil Changes EVER. No Check Engine Light EVER. No CAT Converters or Oxygen Sensors EVER. No coolant flushes EVER. No Coil Packs or spark plugs EVER. No Timing Belts EVER. Just $10.00 and 20 minutes charging every 300 miles of driving (.04¢ a mile). Over FIFTY THOUSAND chargers with 99% always working - World wide. And in many states CHEAPER Tesla car insurance. Tesla's are too expensive...
Is Mountain Dew your new sponsor ?? (see back seat)
Yes, this episode is brought to you by Mountain Dew! 🤣
No more Smog Checks..
No more stolen catalytic converters
50! Already wow! Seems like yesterday you bought it. What is your battery loss?
Have 30k on my one year old LR model Y. Went from CA to PA and back, never rotated tires. Haven’t had any issues. Amazing robot on wheels. Fsd beta needs improvement. The stock 19” still have tread surprisingly. I floor it often. No skid!!
Can you try to do an efficiency test to see if those tires have a better wh/mi effiency compared to other TH-cam results?
How does it handle? I have seen some videos where they said the car drove more sporty suspension wise and the steering felt slightly twitchy.
The car looks very very nice.
We have both Model 3 LR AWD and the Y LR AWD. The 3 has a smoother drive, better control, and better range, fast as hell. Jeannine
It is now Aug 2023 and I chose the newest 2023 model Y LR vehicle. I have had the vehicle now for a couple weeks, so I am starting on my Tesla journey. Really enjoy the vehicle.
My vehicle now comes with HW4 and the better quality cameras. I did allot of research on many EV's, which would fit my needs, and the model Y hatchback style was the best. I only have the basic Auto Pilot which haven't had a chance to try it yet.
I am retired and only do my driving around town or short single charge trips. I do my charging in my home garage with plugging into a 220 volt outlet. I have the factory tires (Continentals), so I will see how long they last with my driving style. Living in Northern Illinois, I will see how the Model Y AWD does in the snowy roads.
Thanks for your video and take care.
22k in my MYP best overall car I've owned previously M3 owner and can't wait for my Cybertruck
Any thoughts on chips? How do you deal with it?
80,000+ on my 2019 lrdm3 Cheers from northern California!!!
How's the car holding up, how much battery degradation have you experienced? Is easy to use the touchscreen for controls?
Had my Model Y Performance for 15 months. 38k miles so far. Rear tires got 30k, front tires still good. I agree with your assessment. Recently charged the car to 100% for a road trip. Car showed range of 283 miles, a loss of 17 miles of range. I drive about 165 miles a day to/from work and charge virtually every night. How are your cars faring with battery degradation?
Do you think it’s degrading faster than normal for you because you charge it to 100%? Heard it’s not good for battery
@@j0404t I charge it to 80% as a rule. WHEN I charged it to 100%, I saw the 17 mile "loss." Considering the high milage I put on it, I don't think it is degrading faster than "Usual" since I am putting about three times the milage compared to the norm. I think it is doing fine.
Just hit 50K on my Tesla today!
Looking forward to see the refresh on the Model Y. I don't think we would trade ours, but it is fun to watch the new toys come out!
New Model 3 LR is a worse vehicle though.
@@TecnamTwin What makes it worse?
What version FSD do you have? I just started a subscription and it has me on 11.3.6.
How can I get the new version?
2020 aug picked up 70k miles now
Get a tread depth gauge for a few bucks and save unnecessary rotations (or avoid going too long between). Tesla recommends tire rotation if tread depth 2/32" (1.6mm) or more difference. I was surprised we made it 25,000 miles before needing a rotation on Model 3 (on 18" Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4). OEM tires lasted 50K.
or just do the rotations for free at discount tire....
What about the insurance? Geico charges a ridiculous amount of money to insure the Model Y.
I have 72k and will be at 3 years in a month on my Y performance. I downgraded the stock wheels/tires to 19" Martian Rims and Bridgestone Turanza tires - I am only on my second set of tires and still probably have 10-20k of wear left which makes my tire tread wear experience totally opposite.
Why aren’t you on the ga power pev rate? 1.6 cents per kw which is about $1.00 a day to charge my y
So the cars eat through tyres which generally cost $$$$
I thought Tesla maintenance cost were meant to be much lower than ICE?? How so if you are changing the tyres so frequently??
Did you tire rotate for the first tire?
Where's the best place to take your Tesla to get tires and do you need to provide the little pucks?
Reifencenter Kirner in Krumbach and yes 😜
I guess thats not what you wanted to hear 😁
NTB was ok, but they were clueless about Teslas (in ohio). I keep copies of Tesla manual pages with "Jacking and Lifting", "Wheel Specifications", and "Keys" in car to hand out. I have pucks but I didn't give it to them -- I figured they'd lose em or if they did damage the battery they'd blame the pucks even if they didn't use.
@@rzee4331 You did not give them the pucks which save your battery so that you don’t get blamed when they do NOT use the pucks and damage the battery? I am sorry, but who are they? Squabbling Kindergarten children?
Would have been nice to learn about battery degradation.
How does the car handle sunglasses? The scoring system can't see the eyes then.
It can still somehow see eyes. Or it looks at head angle…or both
Yay! Miss Information!
Thanks for the video but the Dr doesn't know it all about audio quality on this video
FSD is the killer app… Wait maybe there’s a better term.😊
If you want road noise try Michigan roads LOL
The one thing that bothers me most with Tesla is the poor sound insulation.
Advertising the Dew I see...Yahoo. Tesla needs to design a logo for inside the car for selfie conversations.
"She misses it" is a big deal to me. Remember when she wouldn't use it.
S.C roads sucked in the late 90's early '00's. Not surprised they still haven't figured out to make roads.
INDEED!!! ....IF ONLY the rest of the WORLD would know how much better Teslas are than any other vehicle - and HOW MUCH CHEAPER than any other vehicle they are to buy AND TO USE over time. GLAD Tesla finally starts advetising its overwhelmingly many advantages.
How much did Mountain Dew pay for the product placement?
@@markleyg In the country I live, we like to live a healthy lifestyle.. I think you can't even find Mountain DEW (lol) in shops here. No demand.
@@manueldavid7369 Thats amazing.. I thought governments and lying food industry had their money making scam working in every country... they'l get to yours soon! I live in Canada and one day I saw a "heart healthy" endorsement from the Heart and Stoke Foundation on a package of sugary gummy bears. Anyone can be bought, the publicly funded groups that are there to look out for your best interest are easily bought and dont give a crap about lying and marching you to an early death as long as they get money for it.
@@user-io8bm6gz5z That's why I believe in DIRECT DEMOCRACY. Democracy alone is not enough, only DIRECT Democracy works. As that gives people the chance to vote on actual decisions every three months, instead of voting people into the government that then just have to be trusted for years. And new laws and law changes can always be proposed spontaneously by every individual, as long as you get 50k signatures on it. Any such law proposal is then voted upon by any citizen that wants to, every three months. It is upscalable to countries the size of China as much as it works for a tiny one like Monaco. All that's needed is offer education for free, that your population maintains a high level of knowledge and understanding. And suddenly life becomes free and easy. Only in this way THE PEOPLE RULE the government, and the government rules the companies/industries. Not the other way around. It is the only system which works and is almost impossible to corrupt. Move to the german speaking part of Switzerland for a few years to check it out. People who come never want to leave anymore. It makes sense.
what is better Model y or Toyota bz4x?
You're joking, right?
Is that pre or post the wheels falling off?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Which car do You Like better ? Model 3 or Y ?
He told you in the video that he prefers the 3 because it’s sportier (when you don’t need the space).
Wow 4.7 cents / Kw. I pay 20 cents / Kw in low season, and charge only at home. No road trips yet though. Fortunately, I have solar panels and that energy is Free! Especially since the solar system has paid for itself already. If anything, I would like to double my solar panel output with an upgrade. But, I notice that the electric charge itself isn’t the problem. It’s the customer charge, energy surcharges, taxes and line after line of extra fees the City heaps on the Utility bill. Oh, and California wants to add a 4 or 6 cent per mile charge because they think EVs will be eating into their gas tax revenues! They haven’t passed that into law yet, but it’s probably just a matter of time.
I still have a hard time with the road noise. I see that you're wearing some kind of microphone and it has gotten a bit better, but unfortunately still hard for me to listen to
Mute the voice and read the captions. I do this often.
Kids today. I would have died to be in a video with a cool and popular tech dad. Don’t get it.
EV specific tires that's funny
What's funny about it?
@@BigBen621 its called marketing.. and a scam on the gullible.
@@user-io8bm6gz5z You are of course welcome to your opinion, no matter how wrong it may be.
@@user-io8bm6gz5z you mean like performance tires, or low roll resistant tires? There is a difference.
@@BigBen621 did your internet search tell you I was wrong? Why not elaborate and let me know how I'm wrong?
1. 🥇
Congrats!
Who is getting electricity for $0.047/kWh?!

You're driving a tank. How can you even think sporty?
He drives a Tesla not a BMW-tank.
It's both..... Safe and fast.
Search for Tesla Model S Nurburgring. Came within a few seconds of a Porsche Taycan.
0 to 60 in 3.5 s is not a ‘tank’.
@@fredbloggs5902 No but the weight and lack on handling make it so
Tesla does need to work on that road noise
Now it’s hard to get charger coz Tesla is sharing charger with others. Now hybrid car is better
Hybrids are dead
Nope, enough superchargers are kept separate for Tesla's only at each location.
Lmao I rather charge at home on day off when Im not going anywhere.
Your poor tire performance very probably is due to your admitted aggressive driving.😀
Sorry, FSD is fraud and a lot of people have lost a lot of money to the sham. Fortunately I merely lost $400 in subscription fees.
I'm disliking every video from now on car background noise and bad microphone
Jedem Menschen recht getan ist eine Kunst die niemand kann!
Hey at least he's using a microphone this time, it's actually quite an improvement.
Grow up
I am so sick of these tesla bro videos. Please somebody post some honest owner reviews.
