I agree about your wish for ventilated seats and for a spare tire. Vinyl, fake leather or leather seats can leave one with a wet back, especially on a long road trip. I used to remember when velour or cloth seats were a premium option for Cadillacs and Lincoln Continental luxury cars. My grandad’s Lincoln Mark 4 had them in 1971 when most cars came with Naugahyde or nylon covered seats. Those cloth seats came in handy when it was 105 outside with 95% humidity!
Great video, you certainly are piling on the miles. Ventilating seats would be really nice, the other thing they could do would be to put cloth seats in the car or at least offer it. You mentioned how your back can get hot and sticky. That's going to happen on pretty much any leather type surface. You'll find that doesn't happen as badly on cloth seats especially if they're a more open mesh type fabric. I wish the IO was a bit more customized... I think you can change the font now but it seems like it should be scalable to any size that you wish. If my smartphone can do that I would think Tesla could do it on their screen too. You mentioned the HVAC system coming out of auto when you select a location for the air to come out. My ancient Toyota Prius does this too. The light indicating auto climate control goes out when you move it from vent to foot or when you manually increase the fan speed. However it is still actually attempting to manage the temperature that you set. Maybe the Tesla is doing the same thing. By the way I love the color you chose for the paint protection film. Makes the blue really look cool how it transitions into different colors as you move around the car.
Great video, I appreciate you taking the time to put this together. I watched a couple of your other roadtrip videos with this new Model Y. I'm a little bummed about the current charging curve. My wife has a 2020 Model Y Performance, and the V3 chargers are amazing ripping at 200-250 kw. Has the charge curve gotten better in the short time you've had it? Do we know if Tesla will be tweaking that charge curve. I'd really like to get a Model Y AWD like yours, but the charge curve gives me pause a bit. Thanks Branden!
Biggest things on my list that are missing: Front bumper camera so 360/parking assist can be better. Ventilated seats (especially the black seats) and an OEM option to have a motorized retractable sun shade for the roof. By far, the most fun car I’ve ever driven. That alone helps offset some of the shortcomings.
Great report. I was curious to see how your thoughts of the AWD compared to mine. I have had my white on black for almost 3 months. But I would love to see a video on manual route planning.
I love the start feature too! My husband dropped me off at work in my Tesla and I had the key fob - he called me in a panic at Kroger he couldn’t start the car - I just started it through the app 😊
Wow, I was think about buying a model Y LR. I totally forgot about the birds eye view not being an option. With everything else going for it, no birds eye view is a deal breaker.
These were great lists, Branden. But you missed this since you mostly drive solo. There is no way for the passenger to turn off their air. It's especially dumb since it's off if you have no passenger. And if they press and hold the temperature, it turns both sides off.
About 4k of the 6k miles have been with at least one passenger and I didn’t get that complaint from any of them (there were a few different people), but that does seem like a strange omission. Should be a lot more flexible since all the HVAC controls are digital
Would like to know the bottom buffer on the 4680. Reports of 0 mile degradation after a while and still showing 279 miles at 100. so wondering if there is a bigger bottom here.
Most of your misses are why I stuck with my ioniq 5 limited. The software is definitely lacking but it’s just a well made car w nice features. I wish I could have Tesla software but the ioniq 5 features
@@rob8969 And now the Tesla qualifies for the $7500 tax credit, but the Ioniq 5 gets $0. And many Ioniq 5 owners can't charge above 24 amps without it overheating.
I get the value, but the missing features are not workable for me. Missing sensors, no 360, PVC seats that are not ventilated, etc. even at $40k I want basic comfort and ease of parking. Frankly, I was surprised how much was not there. I would have been very unhappy. Caveat Emptor
@@brandenflasch Of course it is personal. However, if you line up similar vehicles in category and price, Tesla is becoming less competitive in many ways.

Audi e-tron, especially in Premier trim, is a great vehicle - unfortunately the limited range would be a bit challenging for my use case, but for many with home charging would be great and is super comfortable! They’ve gotten really cheap on the used market too.
@@brandenflasch I agree on the range, but the charging is amazing. I need a longer range vehicle for my next purchase. I am in the market, but watching how prices move.

@@brandenflasch may i know the reason why? Is it due to range that you get? I was debating between SR and LR, but LR is costing me 48,500 and SR was 44K so i thought SR solves my purpose as i use for local leisure driving! I WFH full time.
Tesla's turn-by-turn navigation is still not good. Apple and Garmin's navigation is much better experience.

Why do you leave your key card in the rivian? I’m debating if I should do the same for the infrequent times I need to valet and not have my key w me since I use the phone key 100% of the time. Btw, I was watching one of your early rivian videos and you look so much healthier now. What’s your secrets?
Branden, have you ever tried the Tesla ring (CNICK or COLMO)? Do they work? I know you add accessories, didn't know if this was one you have tried. Great info. Going to get a Y next month
Thinking seriously about a model y. Is there a difference between a Freemont or TX models? Can we get an LFP battery on the US? LOVE to see the route planning episode. Thanks!
There are some aftermarket ventilated seat covers but not sure how good. Would be cool to see how they would work for your Tesla. I believe most are around $100-$150.
You didn’t tell us about the structural battery experience. Feel stiffer than other ones you drove (in a good way?)? Did you find insurance different for the risk of totaling it easier if an accident occurs beyond your bumpers or door panels etc.
@@brandenflasch yeah that’s what the staff at my local tesla place say; they can’t tell any difference. Which is a disappointment. We expected a more stiff (in a good way) feel, hence better handling, and lower weight. But none of those are present. Neither is superior efficiency from the 4680s. Although I do know they last (rating) much longer
We’re not talking about saving the world here, we’re doing a Tesla review. Everything in this video is a first world problem but doesn’t make it invalid.
If you're a Tesla owner, I'd be concerned about other car manufacturers now being allowed to use the superchargers (GM etc), causing congestion and longer wait times, in the near future.

Excellent video as always. Curious hypothetical here: If Rivian had the ability to charge on the supercharger network right now (of course that looks to be happening in April of next year) which vehicle would you rather own just to own and drive and without the consideration how a new vehicle typically helps drive your youtube business as hopefully this new vehicle will? I am biased because I own an R1T and my use does not really include much if any road tripping. On top of the fact Rivian continues to update their software and their app so much faster than other vehicles I have seen that it just makes the value aspect so much more compelling than I imagined it would. On top of the fact it is so fun and comfortable to drive. Obviously this new vehicle for you is a much lower price point and great value but just wonder if you had to choose either this one or your blue R1T for overall experience, which one would it be. I will hang up and listen now. Thanks. :)
If cost wasn’t a factor and Rivian had Supercharger access today, I’d get an R1S. I’m just not really a truck guy and I think the R1S is just enough smaller than the R1T to feel more nimble. Cost factored in though and I’ll stick with Model Y
Was going to ask something similar…. I have a 2018 MX and was thinking about the R1T but with the 4 1/2’ bed it seems like not even a truck. R1S is a better choice. My MX is much more efficient than the R1T or R1S but the max 150kw charging speeds on my car can be a bummer on a road trip. Other than that, I still love my MX and will keep it for as long as I can as it still has radar and ultrasonic sensors as well as stalks for shifting, blinkers, wipers, autopilot etc…. seems more intuitive.
Disagree about the app. My Hyundai allows me to set a start and finish charging window that aligns with the 4hr period I get at night where my electricity is at a cheaper rate. This is such an easy fix for Tesla……why can’t they do that? Mind boggling omission.
Big miss on my 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD (Fremont build, as now in Canad they are from China) is I wish Tesla had a Manual Battery preconditioning option,apparently you can assign it on S3XY buttons or just on their Commander OBD dongle software. Here in Canada there are many areas that are not served by Tesla Superchargers, having that Manual Battery Preconditioning option would save the car and save the time on road trips outside the Supercharger routes.
Would love it if there was a permanent “lifetime” trip record, and about 5 more trips available to us! My 3 did a spontaneous reboot about 6 months ago and I lost my “lifetime” trip info! 😢

One of the first things I did with mine is take that stupid cargo cover out.
But then you don’t have a cargo cover
@@brandenflasch I find it just gets in the way.
Excellent video as always. Curious hypothetical here: If Rivian had the ability to charge on the supercharger network right now (of course that looks to be happening in April of next year) which vehicle would you rather own just to own and drive and without the consideration how a new vehicle typically helps drive your youtube business as hopefully this new vehicle will? I am biased because I own an R1T and my use does not really include much if any road tripping. On top of the fact Rivian continues to update their software and their app so much faster than other vehicles I have seen that it just makes the value aspect so much more compelling than I imagined it would. On top of the fact it is so fun and comfortable to drive. Obviously this new vehicle for you is a much lower price point and great value but just wonder if you had to choose either this one or your blue R1T for overall experience, which one would it be. I will hang up and listen now. Thanks. :)
If cost wasn’t a factor and Rivian had Supercharger access today, I’d get an R1S. I’m just not really a truck guy and I think the R1S is just enough smaller than the R1T to feel more nimble. Cost factored in though and I’ll stick with Model Y
Was going to ask something similar…. I have a 2018 MX and was thinking about the R1T but with the 4 1/2’ bed it seems like not even a truck. R1S is a better choice. My MX is much more efficient than the R1T or R1S but the max 150kw charging speeds on my car can be a bummer on a road trip. Other than that, I still love my MX and will keep it for as long as I can as it still has radar and ultrasonic sensors as well as stalks for shifting, blinkers, wipers, autopilot etc…. seems more intuitive.
@@brandenflaschI can personally attest that the R1S is considerably easier to maneuver and park than the R1T. Both worse than the Model Y.
Any regrets not goiong with the long range since you road trip a lot?
Nope
@@brandenflaschwhy did you chose SR vs LR?
What is cabin noise on the highway like Vs your old Model S?
It’s been a while, but significantly better.
I just picked up a Model Y (Austin Build) and I am amazed how quiet it is on the highway.
Love the aero wheel caps!
Did you leave them installed on your Plaid?
@@brandenflasch nope they are off until winter
@@danburkland those wheels do look better tho
Disagree about the app. My Hyundai allows me to set a start and finish charging window that aligns with the 4hr period I get at night where my electricity is at a cheaper rate.
This is such an easy fix for Tesla……why can’t they do that? Mind boggling omission.
That particular function from Tesla is awful. Luckily you can use third party services if really needed, but Tesla needs to fix it.
@@brandenflasch ooo, I need to find a fix. Pick up my brand new M3 LR RWD next week. Thanks.
Big miss on my 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD (Fremont build, as now in Canad they are from China) is I wish Tesla had a Manual Battery preconditioning option,apparently you can assign it on S3XY buttons or just on their Commander OBD dongle software. Here in Canada there are many areas that are not served by Tesla Superchargers, having that Manual Battery Preconditioning option would save the car and save the time on road trips outside the Supercharger routes.
I plan on adding S3XY buttons for exactly that
@@brandenflasch and @berthogendoorn2133 wait for S3XY Knob, is a lot better.
Would love it if there was a permanent “lifetime” trip record, and about 5 more trips available to us!
My 3 did a spontaneous reboot about 6 months ago and I lost my “lifetime” trip info! 😢
Totally agree! I use TeslaFi as my “permanent trip”
@@brandenflasch I started using Teslascope after the first 10k miles, but it doesn't show Wh/mi.... Next car I'll be covered!
