- Hard to believe we've owned our amazing Tesla Model Y for a year now! In this video, I not only discuss the important things we've learned but also cover the things we love about it, pleasant surprises, disappointments, concerns, and some suggestions on how it could be improved. Oh yeah, and each week for the next month I'm giving away one of my favorite accessories!

We just bought our first Tesla last month, a 2023 Model 3 for my wife. I went from skeptic to fanboy within days of ownership. My one month review? Never going back. The biggest issue is figuring out how we can afford a Model Y for me! 😂
Ain't it the truth! Congratulations!
Awesome Video. I normally skip , but I was able to listen to you from beging to end. I hope Tesla listen to your suggestions
Wow! Thanks so much.
Thanks for this wonderful review of your experience with your Tesla Model Y! You hear all sorts of things and my wife and so are leaning to purchase one and this only further encourages me to do so. And your trash bins are a nice added touch among other things you’ve done!
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Well done! I appreciated your honest assessement of numerous pros and cons as well as the video clips and pics you used in your review.
How kind. Thank you!
Amazing video! Randomly stumbled upon your video but one of the most down to earth review of TESLA and glad I watched. Will be saving this video for when I get my model Y!
Thank you so much!
Great video. thanks for creating. I think others had the same suggestions as you and they include some of the things you suggested in the new Cybertruck, such as being able to power your home and the drain plug for the rear storage for packing it with ice.
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching! I was very excited to see the bi-directional charging in the Cybertruck. Hoping it can somehow be software implemented on the model Y. Is there a drain in the under bed storage in the Cybertruck? Cool.
Thanks for the glowing review of your Tesla! I will be looking into more of your videos. Thanks again for the great information.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for your review. Been on shopping tesla vehicles for a while now and on the edge of getting a model y. I love hearing people's real world experience and feedback.
Thanks for watching! and if you do decide to get a model Y please consider using my referral code listed in the description. Save you a few bucks and I get some super charger miles.
This is one of the best Tesla videos I've seen. Very informative, without all the uhs and ums we usually see/hear.
Thanks so much!
Lithium Ion Tesla batterie can be charged 20% - 90% with lifespan about 200k km without noticeable degradation ( under 3% ) If you guys doing more than 200k kilometers it is worth to charge 20% to 80% it should you gives another 100k kilometers with degradation about 4% only
Thanks for the info.
How can you be sure about that
Your videos are refreshing! I watch a ton of Tesla videos and I happened to finally stumble to your channel and I am pleasantly surprised. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Nice video. Thanks for the recap. I love my Tesla Model Y also. I was visiting a friend up your way recently and we took his Ioniq 5 on a short road-trip to Leavenworth, very scenic drive. Was a good day and a nice change from the 100 degree weather where I’m at.
It's hard not to love the MY, huh? Leavenworth is beautiful. How'd you like the Ioniq 5?
@@teslaroundup it’s nice inside, roomy and comfortable. More of a traditional car feel with the gauges and such. I drove it just for a few minutes and it drove real nice also. It’s a nice car, not going to replace my Tesla though 🙂
Nicely done. I’ve had my Tesla for about six months now and you’ve given me some good ideas for the weather here in Flagstaff Arizona.
Thanks. Came close to visiting Flagstaff last winter in a rented model 3, but then a snow storm moved in and we diverted. Do want to revisit sometime. Beautiful country.
love the video. Clear and concise about the pros and cons. hopefully I''ll be getting one soon. Drive safe!
Picking mine up on Monday...can't wait!
Congrats!
Thank you so much! And you too.
First time watcher and all the way from Australia, I very much enjoyed your review. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing more from you. Oh… and TESLA is the word. 😀👏
Thanks so much for the kind words, and for watching.
Your video popped up in my algorithm. I'm glad I found you. Excellent review! Tesla FOREVER! 👍
Glad it did. Thanks for watching!
This is without doubt the best ownership review that I have watched. The delivery, pace, information, presentation and editing is perfect, it is a credit to you❤
I collect my Tesla model Y next week so the excitement is building! Looking at accessorising it in the meantime, lots on offer so its difficult to choose what to buy first!
All weather mats, trunk mat and mud flaps are high on my list initially with additional items ready for santas list!
Do you have a dog? Im wondering how accommodating the Model Y is for a dog.
Thank you for taking time out to share your ownership experiences, I really enjoyed watching and learning from your experience.
Wow! Thank you so much! Don't have a dog so I'm no help there. Congrats on your new Tesla. You're going to love it. Safe travels.
First time watching one of your videos. Excellent summary of the Y. Our 2023 only has 4k miles so far and I 💯 agree with your summary. We rarely drive our gas cars anymore and I'm convinced we are getting a second Tesla soon!
One other thing to add is that the 3/Y are both the highest rated crash safety cars on the road.
Dan in Goodyear AZ
Hey Dan, you're right, I should have made a point of how safe they are. I am working on a video called "Why your next car will be a Tesla" and will cover that topic there. Congratulations, and thanks for watching!
Rotation at 6,200 miles, not 15,000 miles.
Starting to look into Teslas now and watching videos about the Y model. Thanks for your video!
Thank you for watching!
I have a Tesla 2023 Model Y that we took delivery of in May. I have probably watched 300 videos this year. Your’s was the first to talk about driving in snow with regenerative braking. Thanks for the tip
Thank you for watching. With proper knowledge the MY is a beast in the snow.
We should be taking delivery on my Y this weekend! Your video was helpful just having some good expectations as well as some tips as I'm going to be adjusting to a new way of driving (hitting breaks in the snow I wouldn't have even thought about!) Thanks! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Probably too late to the trashcan drawing but, Tesla just in case!
Congratulations! You're going to love it. Thanks for watching!
The nice thing about the route from Spokane to Seattle, there are several super chargers right off I-90. Super convenient and no range anxiety for me. Public charging in Spokane isn’t the best from what I’ve seen
Thanks for your informative video on your model Y. I just got my new model Y LR in Aug 2023 and really enjoy the vehicle - has HW4 and newer cameras. There are some tips you mentioned which I will see how it goes here in Northern Illinois and in the snow. Maybe the vehicle would handle a little bit better by putting it in the "Chill" mode of driving. I will find out soon.
Being retired, I just drive around town and don't do long trips. I charge my vehicle at home from 70 percent up to 90 percent. This usually takes about 1.5 hours using my 220 volt outlet. Getting cooler now so I preheat my car before driving off with it. Using Navigation with the Tesla is amazing and easy to setup small trips. I also use voice commands allot.
Thanks for your video and take care.
Thanks so much! Sounds like you love your car almost as much as I love mine. 🙂
Great honest non biased review! My wife and I are considering a Tesla model Y - cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
You'd love it. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your 1 Year Tesla Y review! Your info about driving in the snow is very interesting, I think maybe turning off regen braking may be the best for the snow. My Y was delivered in June but I'm expecting to need to drive in snow soon.
Thank you! If you can figure out how to turn off regenerative, braking please let me know.
Wonderful review! Very informative and comprehensive.
Thanks so much!
Refreshingly great review. I loved the format and preferred it to the "regular" youtube car reviews
How kind! Thank you so much.
We feel the same way about our Model Y, Its literally so amazing I still can't believe it after 2 years. It feels like a car 50 years in the future, compared to current gas cars. I'll never not own a Tesla from now on. Thanks for the Alexa skill app idea, I had no idea I could use that to pre condition my car, awesome!
It does feel like it's from far in the future doesn't it? Thanks for watching. Safe travels!
My wife and I bought an inventory Model Y recently at a discount price (someone cancelled their order). Before that, we test drove one and then went and test drove Toyota, Honda, Kia and Hyundai SUV's. Model Y feels and drives like a luxury car from a future while other cars at about the same price feel just like regular boring cars. I cannot believe that we waited this long to get a Tesla. We have 240V/50A outlet in the garage and top it off every night at off-peak hours at dirt cheap electricity rates.
Only Tesla cars from now on until other car manufacturers catch up with technology and software. Tesla software is 20 years ahead of competition (I am a software engineer).
What a beautiful review. Great points and very helpful.
Thanks so much!
I really enjoyed your Tesla model Y video. I just received mine in August and like you, have found it to be the best car i have ever owned. I will definitely watch your video on driving in the snow. It is one of my concerns living here in Canada. I am looking forward to the ownership journey
Thank you, and congratulations! It's a great car isn't it? Are you going to get snow tires?
I have them in order from Tesla. I am just waiting for their shipment to arrive. They said sometime in mid October
This was a fabulous Tesla video. Thank you. I can’t wait to get mine ordered.
Glad it was helpful!
Tesla! We have a 2020 M3 and added the 2023Y in May. Thank you for the snow driving tips- they may come in handy this winter. Very thorough review and off to look at your accessory recommendations. Looking forward to more videos and tips.
Thank you so much!
Loved this review of Tesla!
Thanks!
Our 2 Teslas are wonderful. I took advantage of the FSD swap too and upgraded from a ‘18 Model 3 Performance to a ‘23 Model 3 Performance. I’m glad you still use FSD. I remember that crazy turn it made last year. 😅
Lol, so many, but yeah that one was seriously scary. Loving the new M3?
@@teslaroundup I’m loving it. Perfect size for me. Small and stealthy.
Fantastic video, thanks. Seriously thinking about getting a Model Y in about 2 months, this video had some great info.
Thanks! Please consider using my referral code in the description. You'll love the MY!
Interesting low key review. I enjoyed and appreciated not having someone yelling at me with overhype. I don’t have a Tesla but I’m thinking about it and yours was one of the best non sales pitch sales pitches. I bought the Bolt EUV and absolutely Love it! The all EV is so much better in every way than an ICE or even the CRV hybrid that I will trade out in the next 6 months. That’s where I’m thinking about something with longer range than our current 270. Yes the Bolt charges to higher than its rated range. The point you make repeatedly is that public chargers will become more numerous and that will completely eliminate range anxiety. In the meantime I plug in on level 2 at home a few hours a week and driving is nothing but fun and almost free. Thank you for taking time to do your video. I’m glad you love your Tesla. I’m thinking about the Model Y long range. I’m also thinking I need to rent one from Turo so I can test drive one before I commit. In any case, continued best of luck to you and Thanks Again!
Thank you so much! I would encourage you to Turo a MY. I did that for the Reno Air races and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you do order a MY please consider using my referral code as well both get some free supercharging. Thanks again for watching.
Loved your video we just bought a model y 2023 long range and we love it. Have a great day
Fantastic! Congratulations!
I have a 4 month old Model Y and I found some info that I did not know in this video, thanks a lot! Definitely going to look into drive modes for snow driving. I work in Kent, so I’m one of your manny Tesla neighbors!
Glad it was helpful. Lived in Auburn for 10 years. Congrats on your MY!
Excellent down to earth review!
Thank you kindly!
Thanks for the clues about charging for round town use. Will apply it!
Thanks for watching!
I love my Tesla Y, thank you for sharing your insights.
Thanks! Great car.
What a great video detailed and educational I am about to pull the trigger but still a little hesitant to which model I get
Model Y Long range or performance.?
Awesome work and enjoy your ride and keep riding __
Thanks! Tough choice,. For me, the comfort, lower price and extra comfort made the LR the choice, but... In any case, please consider using my referral code if you order. You'll save a bit and I'll get some supercharger miles. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video. I've had my Tesla for about 1 month now and really enjoying it.
Great to hear!
just got a 2023 model y ...so many accesories but i think im finally done. i like to charge while im at the market and the rest is topped off at home, im loving it
Lol. Hard not to love huh?
TESLA. We just found your channel and loved this video so much. We have had our 2023 model y for a month now and love it. We are subscribing and will look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you so much! Congrats on your MY!

Hey, if you're in the US or Canada you won the trash bins. I've had reports that the email addy I asked you to contact doesn't always work so if you're still interested please contact me at scott.chaney@gmail.com with your name and mailing address.
Great review and ideas for accessories when I order mine soon!
Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions
Thank you so much!
I also like when parking close to a curb, the car’s onscreen goes to top view and shows how close you are to the curb. So far has saved the rims from curb rash. 👍🏻👍🏻
👍
I love the Tesla Y and looking forward to your next video!
Thanks!
What a wonderful review! So helpful! It looks like you live in the same area as me so it’s nice to hear your tips on driving in the snow with a TESLA.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your experience and I am looking into buying Model Y next year.
Thanks. You'll love it! Please consider using my referral code 🙂
I feel the same way about my MY. 1year 27k miles. My tires are about 3/4 worn just had them rotated yesterday.
I hop in just to listen to certain songs!
lol - been there, done that! You're doing better on your tires than I did. Any idea what you'll replace them with?
Thanks for the Tesla update.
Thanks for watching.
Very informative! Currently driving a Model 3 but have a Model Y RWD on order. Leaving tomorrow for North Carolina and plan to camp in the 3 one night on the way back.
Thank you! Enjoy your new Y, and your trip. Safe travels.
Great info! Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Really enjoyed your video. Easy to digest. I think I'll order a Model Y Performance soon.
Have any insight about the colors? I've read that Tesla's red and white paints are more durable due it being 3 layers, versus the other colors being 2 layers?
I absolutely love our blue, but that red is really gorgeous too. White is by far the most popular so you'll have lots of company if you go that route. Plz consider using my referral code if you do decide to order, and enjoy!
Hi, have you thought about installing a isolating switch next to the plug for convince instead of the circuit breaker in the main box🤔👍
That's a good idea, but what I think I'm going to do is just get another charger so I can leave that one plugged in all the time.
Thank you for the great review! I enjoyed it so much that I subscribed for more content. My wife and I considering the purchase of a #Tesla Model 3 in the new year, so I am learning all that I can.
Thanks for watching and the sub! The M3 would be an excellent choice.
Excellent video. We just ordered our Tesla model y today. So excited…
Thanks! Congrats on your MY order. You'll love it!
Amazing video - thinking about buying Tesla and this video definitely helped a lot!
Thank you!
Good review. Thanks.
Thanks
Excellent video, I recently bought a Tesla M3 and love it. One of our daughter’s needs to replace their Subaru and is looking at a Chevy Bolt (because of cost) and a Tesla Model Y. I’m researching both and your video(s) will sure help convince them of the overall value of a Tesla investment. Thanks
Thanks! I was thinking Bolt too for my son but they started with the whole dealer nonsense and drove me away. Made me appreciate Tesla's direct order system even more.
I've had my Tesla Model 3 for about 45 days now, and am loving it! Looking forward to when I hit the one year mark, then eventually the 10-year mark!
Congratulations!
Test driving a Tesla model y performance in Charleston SC next week! Watching everything I can before I do. Great video!
Thank you! Be sure to punch it at 40, the torque is amazing.
Tesla! Thank you for making this fantastic video you explained everything very clearly and I enjoyed your video. I’m picking up my first Tesla this Sunday and you’ve made me even more excited about enjoying my new car. I hope I win that trash cup. Have a great thanksgiving.
Thanks! And congratulations on your new car. You're going to love it!
Awesome summary! I can’t wait to get my Model Y.
Thanks! You're going to love your MY!
Love the mattress for camping. What a great idea for a Tesla!
Not original I'm afraid. Plenty of air mattresses out there. I just wanted something more comfortable.
Great video with a lot of interesting suggestions for Tesla.
Thanks!
Thank you for the review. I have a Tesla model 3 and love it. Thinking of getting a Tesla model Y but not sure if I need all the space
Thanks! They are great cars aren't they?
We have decided the Tesla Model Y is the car for us and we can’t wait to get ours! Thank you for sharing your views and informative findings.
Great choice! You'll love it. Please consider using my referral code if you haven't already ordered. Thanks for watching!
Great review of your Tesla Y
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing is caring god bless you always and forever ❤️🕊
Thank you, and you too.
Perfect review for me - a newbie.
Thanks.
Great review! What are your thoughts on the latest generation model Y not having ultrasonic sensors to help with parking?
Not a big fan so far. It's gonna be hard to duplicate that vision only, but perhaps possible. Maybe. Do I sound confident?
I am considering a new car and the Tesla Y is high on my list. Thank you for all the information and your experience with the car!
Glad it was helpful! The MY is indeed a great car. If you do decide to get one please consider using my referral code in the description. Thanks
Love your review on the Y. Getting ready to buy one for myself. The only question is when? They keep upgrading and adding what a revolution.
Thank you. That's a tough decision especially with the model Y upgrade coming sometime in the next year or two. Personally, the changes in the model three upgrade wouldn't be enough to make me wait. The 2023 already has the better suspension and is quieter.
Best review by far
Thank you so much!
Nice video, can't wait to recieve my Telsa model Y long range quicksilver next week! cheers!
You'll love it! Thanks for watching.
Great video on your Tesla! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I appreciated the video, i could hear an understand you. Calm an reassuring voice. Not a youngster cramming it down us. I would love the little Tesla garbage can. We are getting the blue as well.
Still deciding on black or white interior? Any thoughts?
Thanks so much! As to interior color, my only suggestion would be to pick the color you like best as they both seem to weather equally well. It might help to visit your local dealer and look at them both as it's sometimes hard to tell from pix.
Excellent Review! Your review makes me much more confident to order a Tesla as my next vehicle.
Thanks! If you do order one in the future please consider using my referral code in the description 🙂
Love the Tesla. I just bought the exact same one, including color. Nice video, Thank You!
Thank you and congrats! Btw, great taste.🙂
Thank you for the video! I'm thinking about getting a Tesla Model YLR but like others, don't know if I should wait or not!!!
Thank you for watching! Like any car, newer models (should) get better in the future. The cool thing about Teslas are they continue to get better after you drive them off the lot.
I appreciate the information about the Tesla Model Y. While I prefer the look of the Model 3 over the Model Y, it's evident that the Model Y offers the practical extra space that's essential for my camping trips. Thank you.
Fair enough!
I love my Tesla too! And thanks for all the tips! Regen braking hit me during a snow storm out of Duluth, MN. I accelerated my way out of it. I think your advice was to break your way out. I think its now possible to turn off Regan braking. That would be my choice!
I couldn't accelerate out of mine as approaching a stop sign. If you figure out a way to turn off regen please let me know. I can't seem to find it.
Fantastic video here! Got my Y two months ago and this was awesome. NEw subscriber here!
Thank you so much!
Nice review sir!
Thank you!
Just made a cross country trip in my 2023 model Y Tesla. 5500 miles round trip. Very enjoyable and educational.
Cool! Any range anxiety?
Great video...not a Tesla owner here but an Ioniq5 owner. We love ours for pretty much all the reasons you stated! I am not a fan of the level of tech....just cannot get into doing everything on a screen.
My neighbour's has 2 Teslas (M3 and MY) nice cars no doubt, we swapped one day so he could drive our Ioniq and I took his M3.
We both loved each other's cars...pretty funny.
We love our I5 because it has a car type interior, with buttons, etc. I can appreciate the simplicity of the single display though. In any case the I5 was quieter than either of his cars (he pointed that out) but neither of his where the 23 models. I understand they have made significant improvements in that area.
We drive well over a 1000km a week so we do stack up the miles pretty quickly and we have had the same maintenance schedule...wiper fluid and tire rotations.
In any case the more EV's the better!
Have a great day and Thank you for the video!
Mike 🇨🇦
Interesting. I'd love to drive an I5. What's the range? I think a lot of folks prefer the more traditional car interior,.
@teslaroundup during the summer and just local driving we regularly get 450 - 500 KM on the highway at cruising speed it drops to 400 - 430 KM.
Great vehicle, of course the Tesla charging network is very dependable and that is a huge plus. That being said we travel extensively (and next week leaving on a 14,000 KM road trip) and we have no issues with charging. The biggest issue we have with the I5 is that it charges so quickly we do not have as much time for having a rest! 🤣
On a decent sized charger it charges at a max of 240kw so about 18 minutes from 10% - 80%. And even at smaller chargers it still charges very quickly. We had a Hyundai Kona that charged at a max of 77kw and we had plenty of time for lunches, etc.
We managed to travel extensively with that car so now with the I5 it is just a lot better!
Have a great day!
Mike 🇨🇦
Excellent review.
Thanks for watching!
very nice summary! Thank you ( Tesla :) )
Thanks! 👍
So thank you for your excellent review of the M3/Y, I have a 2018 M3 with FSD beta,and I absolutely love it, and like you I can wait to see FSD not be in beta, and also having bi-directional charging is a no-brainer. It should’ve been there from the get-go. Cheers 🥂
Thanks so much. Agree 100%

Great video!
Thanks!
nice vid! question: how does not having a rear windshield wiper working out?
The rear windshield is so small it actually doesn't matter, lol. What I do wish it had is some way of cleaning the rear camera which gets dirty real quick.
Amazing video, getting my Tesla this weekend 🎉 and found your channel super useful. Also, the great suggestions you added, I hope Tesla would consider them.
Thank you so much and Congratulations! You're going to LOVE it!

Your number of subscribers does not reflect the quality of your videos! One of the best and funniest Tesla videos I have seen.

I have never been more excited in my life LOL. Great job!
