14:38 Q&A With My Wife
The Tesla Model Y is the world’s best-selling electric vehicle and is on pace to become the best selling car period. This is my full review of our 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range after driving it over 5,000 miles.
The Tesla Model Y comes in 3 variants: Standard Range, Long Range, and Performance. We chose the Long Range Model Y because of what I call the 5 S’s: safety, software, space, Supercharging, and superior range. Ordering a Tesla is very simple. It’s all done on their website, and when you place your order you lock in the vehicle price. We ordered our Long Range Model Y in October 2021, and the total cost was $55,440 but after the latest price increase this model now costs $70,000 after taxes.
We chose white paint, black interior, and 19" gemini wheels. All Teslas come standard with Autopilot. The Model Y is essentially just a larger SUV version of the Model 3, sharing 75% of the same parts. But the Model Y has a hatchback instead of a trunk and is wider and longer with much more storage capacity, which is one of the biggest reasons we wanted a Model Y. The touch screen & software are the same, but the 2022 Model Y UI is extremely fast & snappy as a result of the new AMD Ryzen processor. Tesla's biggest software advantage Tesla, in my opinion, is their navigation maps & trip planner which automatically routes you to Superchargers along the way Voice commands have also gotten way better compared to when I first got my Model 3. Tesla vehicles are known to be the safest in their class, and the Model Y earned 5-star ratings and top safety picks in multiple countries.
The ride quality of this 2022 Model Y is much better than the original 1st-gen Model 3s and Model Ys. As a tall guy it's more comfortable on long drives compared to my Model 3. The double-paned windows result in a pretty quiet and soft ride. It takes curves really well for how big the vehicle is. The suspension & handling feel great, and it's all wheel drive so the 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds is quicker than 90% of the cars on the road that we encounter. Autopilot is the best driver assistance system available on any car in my opinion. It uses the car’s external cameras in conjunction with Tesla’s software to keep in its lane and maintain a set speed which is invaluable on long road trips.
The most important features of an electric vehicle are charging & range. This Long Range Model Y has 330 miles of estimated range. Our Model Y tends to get closer to 300 Wh/mile which means it uses slightly more energy than the EPA estimate. Possibly Tesla’s biggest advantage is its Supercharging network which includes over 35,000 fast-charging stations and is the largest global, fast charging network in the world. But 90% of the charging we do is at home, and this is the easiest & cheapest way to charge. We're happy with our Model Y. If you value safety, space, seamless charging & software then it’s probably worth the money. We love our Model Y & plan to keep it for a long time.

I cancelled my long range model y reservation when it was under 50k because I couldn’t convince my wife we could afford it. Now it’s another 20k. Sick to my stomach just thinking about it.
@@reasonitout9087 I didn’t even know Harley Davidson was a real company anymore. Had to google it. Don’t they sell fat tire e bikes or something now? Pass the potatoes
Per usual, I ignored my wife and did order and take delivery. She thinks I’m a genius on this. Normal cycle for us. Kids, smile and nod, but don’t listen to your wife….unless it’s “are you going to wear that out?” That I listen to every time!
@@reasonitout9087
Did you have to sell the bike to pay the alimony?
@@johnparker5069 yup. They are still putting along.
@@johnparker5069 sorry man, you could of also sold it for an extensive profit, we all make mistakes that we don’t like.
We are really super happy with our standard range model Y.
By far the best car we've ever owned.
The ride quality is outstanding on our standard 19-in wheels.
Much quieter even at highway speeds than our old ice car.
We only have to charge once a week to cover my wife's 5 X 35km commuting.
And that charging is done entirely from our rooftop solar panels - unless it's raining, and then we can charge it on 50% renewables grid content.
Best solution to the whine…? Tinnitus! I’ve had that for a long time. Like my poor sense of smell, I think it can be a blessing.
I love my 2021 Model 3 SR+. It had plenty of range for my 5,500 mile trip from Sacramento CA to Louisville KY and was $10,000.00 cheaper than the LR when I got mine. I use that $10 grand to go on trips!
Great video as always.
We also have the Model 3 and Model Y (both 2021's). My wife drives the M3 and for a person who doesn't care one wit about cars, she loves the M3. The Model Y is my daily driver and our Road Tripper. We have the trailer hitch option on the Y and use it for our ebikes. I have the Serial 1 Rush Cty S and saw Andy's excellent review after I bought mine. We use the ebikes often at home and, when we go to the CA coast.
Agree with all your positive comments and have no motor whine with either car. Really can't think of any complaints about either car. We got them in mid 2021 so the prices on the cars were excellent. I leased the MY and I will be getting a Cybertruck as my next and likely last vehicle purchase.
2021 Model Y here and we have been super happy with it. As mentioned, the cargo space in it just seems cavernous compared to other cars of a similar size. Also the front seats are awesome, no sore achy back or hips after a long road trip. Nitpicks- road noise at higher speeds, overall ride quality. Common complaints, but for the money worth mentioning. However these continue to improve in newer builds.
Tesla quality is garbage 🗑 🎃
Time to order again 😂
Nice video! I’ve just ordered some 2x1 inch AC insulating foam that I am going to try to stick into the area around the penthouse seal later today. Hopefully that helps. Although, Tesla doesn’t let you test drive before you accept delivery so it’d be hard to tell if your car does have the issue. Have you been able to drive any of the new model Y/3s with the updated suspension? My 2022 feels very similar to my 2021, so I’d be interested in seeing how much of a difference you’d notice
I picked up my 22 MYP in Feb and no motor sound issues. My seat makes a small click sound on curves and Tesla said its normal. 🤷♂️. I'll wait until it gets worst to take it in again. These cars are sooooo quiet tho, it's hard to complain about small noises. Wipers work great too. I do agree even the MYP feels a lot more comfortable than the early builds I test drove in 2020.
Andy, great vid and love the tint job. please drop the details for what percentage you went with 🙏🏿
A great video and gives both the good and not so. I have a ‘22 Performance and love the car beyond anything I expected. I too have the phantom rain wipers while on AP. However, mine is only at night. Also I wished that Tesla would have a look down park assist like other equal or lesser value cars. I hope some of these issues will be taken care of by OTA updates. Thanks again for the great content.
Just ordered a Performance Model Y and while it was more expensive to order now, it’s replacing our Model X lease which is up in 2 months. The residual to buy the X, which we enjoyed but was a bit too big, was the same as the Model Y. Looking forward to getting our new Y.
Thanks for the great overall review and the transparency of your build and thoughts.
Hi Jeff how are you enjoying the Model Y Performance after these months? With the recent price cut it has made it much more affordable and I'm really leaning towards buying it
I ordered my texas built long range MY in early March before the extra 5k was added - still waiting for delivery- hope with 4680 battery - enjoyed your video a lot - it was very informative
I canceled my M3 reservation when I figured out that it was gonna be close to $60,000 with taxes and license, what a joke for a battery car! I was patient and got a Chevy bolt EUV for 30,000 out the door, it has rear view camera mirror, leather seats, and 250 miles of range which I charge at home every couple of days, plus no phantom breaking from that crazy FSD that never works correctly!🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🚀🚀🚀🚀
Great video Andy. Very well thought out review. Enjoyed hearing what your wife thought. I have a model Y performance and recently purchased a 2023 nissan leaf s for my wife to drive then our kids when they turn 16. The only reason we purchased the leaf was price. We could not justify purchasing a $70,000 car as a 3rd one only for daily running around. Also getting the $7500 tax credit did not hurt. Next years income limits exclude us. :( While checking the cheep box and nifty EV ride the leaf is definitely not on par with a Tesla. Otherwise its pretty solid A to B car.
Anyways - your video skills really shine through in this one. Keep it up! and Congratulations.
I'm sorry you have had issues with a high pitch sound from the rear motor. We picked up our Model Y Performance in August and it didn't have that sound issue. It seems like they're a lot of people complaining in the June pickup time frame about this issue. I wonder if it was a bad batch of motors. It would be interesting to see if Tesla would give you a new motor again from a more recent batch to see if it would help.
Andy, Thanks for this nice review video. Very well done. One minor point: The EPA Wh/mi is the Wh delivered to the car, but the Wh/mi reported on Tesla’s screen is the Wh delivered from the battery, so it does not include energy lost in the on-vehicle charger, cables, and battery. Therefore the two Wh/mi numbers should not be compared directly, as was done in this video.
Thanks for providing your comprehensive review of your Model Y.
Great review Andy, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for this. I take delivery of my Model Y Oct. 29. It's been a long one year wait and I'm excited.
Bummer about that rear whine. I had something like that on a 05’ GTO at 40mph and they couldn’t do anything about it either. Over the year I’ve seen a few of the cosmetic things you pointed out in the vid. More after I did a ceramic coat and was looking closer but thankfully it was all easy to tweak. I do wish I could turn off lead acid monitoring in my 2021 since I tried a LifePO4 battery and thats a bust due to the current software and had to put the Lead Acid back in. That is a 31lb battery!
@andy What was your real world range for your Michigan trip in MY? Were you able to find Tesla chargers easily?
How did you already update your model Y with that update in the energy app?
My 2022 model Y hasn’t received that yet :/
I have 2020 MY. I have no motor whine. Ride could be smoother though on rougher roads. Thx for content.
Andy, have you had any phantom braking issues with your Model Y? I have a 2022 Model 3 and it phantom brakes all the time when using Autopilot. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
all vision cars do aka all teslas now. its terrible.
@Andy Slye
I am in the market for MY, any insight/suggestions on which one should I buy MY AWD with 4680 batteries vs LR with 2170 batteries?
Thanks
Hi Andy. So the "basic" autopilot does allow for handsfree driving but no auto lane changes, correct?
Andy, I appreciate your honesty about n this review (your wife’s as well). Can you tell us what brand of lumbar support add-on you got please? ⚡️🙏🤘
Thanks for the video! I can second that my wife isn't a big fan of FSD, but LOVES regular autopilot. Game changer for sure on long road trips.
Hi Andy,
Can you please let us know how to turn off AC on passenger side?
I know when there's no one sitting on passenger seat the AC is off on that side or even we can split the AC to have different temperatures on each side but the problem is we cannot have the AC on for driver and off for passenger or vice versa at the same time.
Thanks,
Farid from Western Australia😉
Hi Andy can you please give us instructions what voice instructions we can use in the Tesla Y
Was in auto body paint biz for 35 yrs. Bumper cover not matching extremely common regardless of manufacturer.
I plan to buy a Model Y before the year is out. Can you tell me if I need four wheel drive?
Have you read about the Penthouse Perimeter Seal or rear drive unit ground strap as potential causes of rear whine?
I have Sept 29, 2020 model Y that I ordered before the car was even in production in 2020. I wasn't even scheduled to receive it until mid-Nov, but Tesla did one of their famous end of quarter pushes .
Continued from above... There are still a few things that were NOT INCLUDED that I think should have come on a car in this price range. 1. The frunk should close through software instead of manually. I struggle every time to find the right spot to get it to close properly. 2. There should be a foot gesture way to open the back hatch when approaching the car with your arms full..3. Yes, I wish there was less road noise. 4. An AC power outlet in both front and back.. 5. A LESS MINIMALIST APPROACH to the interior. The leather seats are luxurious and comfortable, but the dashboard is some anonymous wood, not a nice grain, and finish. Just look at a BmW OR Mercedes of the same price range and you will see the difference. 6. More voice commands. Often the software will tell me that the command was not understood.7. The option of a larger screen. I am sometimes unable to read the screen because I'm farsighted and need reader glasses which would hamper my vision while driving.. Tesla seems to be concentrating on trying to remove stalks but I like them becausei can use them without taking my eye off the road. I don't know how to give them feedback that will be not8ced. Oh and I forgot to mention a longer range,, mine is a LR model, but I live in NE Pennsylvania where the winters are cold and Superchargers are far apart. I am about 80 miles from a frequent destination, and I always need to charge the car before starting for home out of fear that the combination of the cold and a traffic jam could leave me stranded. All that said, I love my car and would make the decision to buy again in a heartbeat. The safety, the pep, the comfortable seats, the space, and not having to pump gas are winning features.
Any phantom braking issues?
I am 6”3 as well which Tesla do you recommend for me?
Hey old friend. did u notice the seam in your steering wheel cover in the bottom right corner of the video? Looks like its coming undone.
Great video. Love the touch of your wife, as my Model Y that's coming in December is for my wife:)
@13:40 You can put wipers on intermittent setting while using Auto Pilot. Not ideal, but better than full auto (awful) wiper setting.
❤ the detail in this video and both perspectives. Throw is some comments from the older age set (in-laws) and you have a winner!
6:02 I thought the AMD APU was only for the Model S and X? Or was that only the dedicated GPU?
Donated to Omaze! Thanks for the videos Andy. Always informative!
Andy enjoy your videos I have a model3 with a LFP battery I charge at home to 70 percent and have the option to charge at work? Do you think topping off at work is a good idea or should I just wait till I get home and charge at night? Thanks
You can charge your lfp to 100% with no negative side effects. Definitely top off at work!
I live in Louisville too. I have a Wrangler 4xE and love it. Hope to get a Tesla in next couple of years.
Very nice
My MYLR 23 has the same noise from the front (I think...) and am currently waiting from Tesla Engineers to figure out what's wrong.
My Model 3 only have that sound when pre heating the battery for Supercharging.
I love the model y I’m 5’6 I sit comfortable and I have pretty long legs so my accord is small I love it but I prefer model y over my car any time and day.
Getting ours this week - can’t wait!
I’m barely a week in of my purchase of a 2023 model 3 is it to late too use the referral code ?!
I go my Y a month ago and I’m enjoying the car very much. I don’t think I have the high pitch noise you mentioned so maybe Tesla fixed the problem now? I totally agree about the back mirror, I can’t see much 😅
Thanks for watching, Michelle, and congrats on your new Y!
They should really have camera based rear view mirror for this car like the Bolt EUV!
I am in the steps to buying a MYLR. I recently test drove one and no sound perceived that you detail. Anyone else hear this varying squeal?
Andy, you going to any Indiana or Kentucky Tesla owner car and coffee events?
That annoying high pitch sound is for real. I took it to service center and they said it’s normal for Model Y. I disagree because I also own Model 3 and the sound doesn’t exist.
12:15 Average charge rate throughout the entire charging curve more important than peak charge rate. Ultimately people care about how long they have to wait before the battery is charged up.
My model y has the same whining issue. Just picked it up at the beginning of October. Austin vin
Which lumbar pad thing did you guys get? My wife will need that too when we get our Y here in the next few weeks. She nearly canceled the order when she found out they removed the lumbar controls on the passenger seat.
This one from Amazon: geni.us/cB6qC3R
I'm sorry you had to go through that winding sound. I luckily do not have that issue.
tesla is amazing, Soundsystem is peak especially when sued with sportify, autopilot is just something else, acceleration is suburb even considering you own the base model, space is huge, and everything else is just great
The whine is probably from the inverter and not the motor itself. Most power supplies (which an inverter is) have a switching transistor that turns on and off really fast to control the output voltage. The whine is probably around 12-20kHz, which is likely the frequency of that switching transistor. The only problem is that the human ear can hear frequencies in that 12-20khz range. Some designers take that sound into consideration and switch the transistor at a higher frequency that your ears cannot hear (22khz+), but this strategy may have some tradeoffs in efficiency, transistor lifetime and increasing the cost of the transistor. Big power transistors like the ones in the inverter that can switch at > 25khz+ can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars EACH and you need several of them to drive each motor.
Agree, Brian. I thought this as well. As one with a background in noise analysis (USArmy Research), another possibility is the albeit simple transmission gears. We found in helicopters the loudest, highest frequency, most damaging noise came from the transmission and not the rotors or jet turbine engine as one might expect. Nice Andy is still young enough to hear and be annoyed by such high freq! I used to be young once too. 😂
It's a problem in all EVs, but really bad in the Y. High frequency tonal noise is incredibly grating on the ear. It's a shame that they don't make more of an effort to dampen it. The Y is quiet, but acoustically uncomfortable.
Thanks for your very honest review to the consumer!
sounds like a small detail but the whining noise would drive me crazy, such that i would find it unacceptable. fortunately, mine doesn’t whine.
Paint mismatch is very common between different substrates. Usually on more economy priced vehicles though. Could argue that as far as EVs go base model Teslas kinda are economy priced.
Not that budget at 66k haha
@@deurkl As far as EVs go.
That paint mismatch would be something to complain about if it were a $30k paint job like you get on a $400k Ferrari or Rolls Royce. Not so much from a plastic shell you get with a Tesla or Saturn.
Curious. Did your build come from Fremont? I took delivery of my Model Y AWD Long Range on the 12th of Oct. It's a Giga Austin build and it's nearly flawless.
The only quality issue I've found so far is the console door. It has a faint center-line scratch that's from some internal structure. I'm having that resolved soon with Tesla service. The overall fit and finishes are really nice and there's no mechanical noise during drives.
Mine was from Fremont
Good to hear! I just got my vin and it's also from Texas.
Great video and great car! For mr it's really frustrating to see such reviews and the fact that these cars are so damn expensive now. It feels so bad to buy a Model Y for 67k when many other people only paid 55k for the exact same car.
And there are people who got it for even cheaper than $55k!
But they got a car with worse suspension and worse build quality
@@TesIaCH But not $12-20k of better changes. I mean I still have one on order but it's not worth the extra $ they are now charging.
@@fanboyofeverything31 True, but they do it because...They CAN. Demand is enormous and they won't stopp increasing the price until demand drops.
@@TesIaCH I believe the demand will drop soon due to high inflation. That's my hope at least 😃
Are you definitely sure that the song "scrubber" Has been removed? I have a 2015 model S and after an update a long time ago, the song scrubber that was very obvious had disappeared. However, it took me a while to realise that there is a very, very fine line underneath the song name that is used as the scrubber. If you put your finger on that fine line and move it, it scrubs through the song. Not sure about the Model 3 or Y though.
Thanks for the scam comment. Reported.
I hope there will be an Off-Road active air suspension upgrade with air outlet in the back for inflating tires, or air mattress , with dual settings of high pressure with low flow volume and high flow volume with low pressure and have it automatic switching with in car or phone app sensitivity switching control , also two home outlets in the back on each side , and having a motorized sun roof two level obscura, with a 50% mesh and 100% reflective cover with insulated bottom that avoids burns. ... And maybe some ,manual for Y and automatic for X, window mesh covers , same material as the sun roof cover, but with reinforcements, to keep insects (mosquitoes, wasps, and other harmful/annoying bugs) out of the vehicle while keeping the windows open for any camping or mountain driving to get that fresh air without worry.
Sounds like you need a CyberTruck.
@@beachcrow Dream car if done right, cause from what i see they keep removing features and degrading others, but also, i thought i wanted a CyberTruck, but after i saw how rivian did their SUV , I wish for a Cyber SUV, with a rugged compartment in the back that you can load dirty stuff in it and cover it so it will not get inside the car over country unpaved roads. (Home battery pack with the vehicle is a must for my country home plans, to have a battery in the home, but not that big, just for a few days , but to be able to use the vehicle as a power storage for the winter when I do not get that much sun in some cases for weeks. Also planning to power my future workshop air and electrical tools with the vehicle.) (low power electric connection, very old, basically 1000w limit with 600w safe to continuously use , because it is an old electric line on the side of a hill over a river... Not planning to use the national grid electricity, except for lights and fridge)
Traded my Model 3 LR up to a Model Y LR. The MY had a similar whine in the rear motor but you could REALLY hear it outside. They are currently replacing the entire rear drive unit. Hoping its gone when I get it.
How did you make sure it was the rear? I have a whine but am not sure if its the front or back
hi andy thank you for the detailed video, i ordered my tesla Y in metallic gray color interior black 19 inch gemini wheels not too much into 20 inch rims so i will get more range and a smooth drive , on specs it says auto pilot included so is it trail for 30 days i guess because I did not pick any extra adding features auto pilot ordered mine in june im getting it next month in november.
Your Autopilot is included. Might be the $6k Advanced Autopilot for the 30 day trial. Advanced gives you highway automatic lane changing and navigation, auto park and summon. Basic includes lane centering and auto speed control.
Andy, whats it like to daily home charge two Teslas assuming one charger? one 5pm to 10pm and then one overnight?
Model Y gets the normal 110v outlet. Model 3 gets the 240v outlet.
12:15 An ICE vehicle that gets 35 mpg is "charging" at 21,000 mph (10 gallon per minute X 60 minutes X 35 mpg).
Good video! Wish you had driven more than just 5000 miles in an entire year to get a better feel for the car, but a good video nonetheless
Thanks Derek. I drive my Model 3 for most of my miles. The Model Y is only for long trips and short errands.
Andy, I took delivery of a 2022 Model Y LR in late May. I have one complaint. When hitting even the smallest bumps I have a rattle coming from the back somewhere. Sounds like a baby's rattle. I will try to find it and maybe bring it in to service. Thanks.
Any update on the rattle?
@@hammadsheikh6032 The rattle was found at a Tesla Service Center. It was a clip on the rear tub in the trunk
I have never heard the whine in my 2021 Model Y Performance.
yes! love your wife as the guest on your videos! i don't have the whining noise on my rear motor! thank god! my 3 has so many noise and ratting that i gave up fixing them at the tesla centers....i do agree about the details...the delivery of the car was not washed! dirty inside and out. tthere are plastic wrap in the ceiling...that is no excuse for a car this awesome! even our cheap gas cars in the past never had the issues...tesla needs to wake up and fix their issues fast...lots of EV competitors are coming!
Andy I love your vids. Was supposed to get my LR Y this week (Oct 17-27) but now it's pushed back to Dec 21-Dec 31. So frustrating! Plz talk me out of getting a used 21 model on Carmax or Carvana to tide me over for 2 more months. I'm worried that I'll take a big hit on the trade in
2 more months seems like a long time when you were expecting it this week, but it should go by pretty quickly. I'd say wait for it as long as you don't desperately need a new car right now.
@@aslye thanks! I reluctantly agree. I don't need it right now but boy do I want it. I've had to rent cars on Turo and do 24 hour test drives at Carmax just to satisfy my Tesla craving in the mean time :-)
Are you seeing improvements in the suspension on your Model Y compared to your Model 3?
Great video, lovely production quality. I recently ordered the RWD Model Y as it's very competitively priced in Ireland now with a government grant (on the road price is €53k). I didn't know the passenger side doesn't have lumbar support, seems like a crappie way to save a few quid. The positives way outweigh the negatives though - I have 2 young daughters and rear seat comfort/space and boot space are high priorities for us. Be curious to hear your thoughts on a RWD version of the car (if they're available where you are).
I've heard NUMEROUS times now that the 2022 MY has a way better road comfort than before thanks to update to it's suspenssions.
Do you guys think this is also the case for the 20nches wheels ?
I ordered my Model Y last spring and it should be delivered in a matter of weeks.
At the time I didnt really investigate that much and chose with my heart andI picked the 20inches wheels.
I would like to have feedbacks from people driving a MY with 20inches wheels about road comfort please :)
Hmmm my cousin 2021 model y long range wasn’t that bad I need to test drive the 2022 model y.
Suspension is still the same, however the 19" wheels will always provide a better ride experience. The winter wheel/tire set of the 19" is fairly priced if you want to add them on in the future.
I was so worried about the suspension on poor quality rural Northern Irish roads but also heard rumours that it had been improved. According to one reviewer with contacts at the Austin plant there have been 22 suspension updates since the Y was released. I test drove one a few weeks back and felt that the suspension was perfectly fine. I'm coming from a 2021 BMW 1 Series with 20" wheels so it's firm anyway. The MY was much smoother and good enough for me to order it.
I took delivery of a Shanghai made MYLR last month (I’m in the UK), on 20” wheels and the ride is bad. I love the car, but on UK bumpy roads, it’s very jarring.
@@RealReado That's strange because that's what I test drove and it felt fine to me. Better than my BMW 1 Series. Did you check the tyre pressure. Apparently they are notorious for coming off the factory line with really high pressure.
The Supercharger network is the ace in the sleeve for Tesla, making purchasing one of their vehicles almost a no-brained if you are in the market. No other manufacturer can even come close to matching this.
Thanks for sharing. I bought a new Tesla Y last year and I did enjoy it in many ways. They are beautiful sexy cars for sure.
However...i could not stand the glass roof. I think it is impractical for people who want to put things on the roof like a kayak.
I do not trust a Tesla roof rack to protect the glass, not worth the risk. Plus, florida sun shining on the roof make the car incredibly
HOT, yikes. Second, I have no garage for a charger, and the nearest charger is 30 miles roundtrip. Third, the charge at 80% was
just 270 miles; that gets used up fast. So, I sold it and am grateful I did. My new gasoline hybrid car gets 575 miles to a full tank,
and that makes things easier. I may get another electric car someday, when there is one without a glass roof, they get a solid 450
miles to an 80% charge, and, I have a garage with a charger in it. However, enjoy yours'.
Is there any big range difference between M3 LR and MY LR?
10% difference
@@kjelle5350 Thanks
Same reasons my wife loves our Model 3
I have a 22 Model Y Performance and have the same whine. Drives me crazy and service center won't evaluate it further.
Man that really sucks. I had a rattle on my 21 model y LR that took three service appointments at two different service centers to get fixed. Have you tried going to multiple service centers? I’ve found a huge variance in quality of service depending on the location.
@@sway5201 don't have the time. In my area, the next closest service centers are 2 + hour drive in either direction
Yep the original motor whine was awful and took me multiple service appointments to get fixed. I recommend visiting another service center and maybe they'll be able to help.
GREAT VIDEO
Thank God my 2022 model Y performance doesn't have the high pitch sounds you're referring to.
Andy I'm thinking of getting the standard range Model Y - do you think I should stretch myself & get the LR?
I have a Model 3 LR at the moment & hardly do many miles at all...
You could probably get by with a SR Y by the sound of you not driving your Model 3 very much. If you've never experienced range anxiety with your 3 then you'd probably be okay with the SR Y. If the LR Y is pushing your budget too much, get the SR. But for me I plan to keep my Y for a long time so I wanted the longest range possible, given that it is less efficient than my 3 and the battery will degrade over time.
@@aslye thanks Andy, atb to you & your fam 🤗
Model Y comes only in LR or Performance at the present.
@@PygKLB oh? I ordered mine already - here in Spain 👍
@@tdtesla Nice! We in the US have only the two options.
Andy, great review, I appreciate the transparency, and it is true that your wife adds another dimension of view, w likewise, the same candor, which is valuable. You complement each other very well, in your narrative and realistic feedback. 👏 Well played. Hopefully Tesla will not sacrifice quality with quantity, hype, or over-extended, disproportionate air of elitism, as time goes 🤔 forward. 👍
Thanks Rich!
Also Tesla has Tidal, which is far and away the best sound.
I selected the bmw i4 after serious comparison between model y and i4
Hard to hear the sound you were talking about. Maybe my old hearing is the issue... lol
An the latest price increases of the SuC in Europe the trip planner isn't the best anymore because it doesn't know much about non tesla chargers. Other manufacturers let you adjust the SoC settings as abetterouteplanner for example. And yes tesla vision just s... with the enforcement of the auto high beam settings and autowipers. Without actual good Matrix lights it's just useless. And many are using rain-x or similar products and the wiping stuff is just annoying
Did you consider the ford f150 lighting?? Near the same price, but 10x the practicality, I have a model y performance rn, and it’s near the same price! Or even is for lower trims!
Too bad my local dealer is marking the lightning up by $93k. On the lot price is $183k😮
@@scottstroh3946 This is why Ford is telling the dealers to plan on another money-making scheme soon. God Bless Ford for staying true and understanding how disrespectful it is to the consumer and manufacture. If Ford wanted the truck to be $183k they'd list that price as MSRP. Good riddance to shady car dealerships.
Pickups are the least practical of vehicles. Ford's Lightning is better than ICE pickups, in that it includes a frunk. Standard pickups have no trunk, so groceries go under your feet. Incredibly stupid, incredibly dangerous.
Love my model Y
Andy some scammers have contacted me on your channels behalf to pay them for a winning supposedly under my name. How can I contact you to give you the details.
Seems like the price keeps climbing and climbing! '😮😮
Is the stitching on the steering wheel already tearing up??? 🤨🫣
The auto bright feature that comes on with autopilot at night is terrible. Flashing on and off, on and off, other drivers must think I'm insane or just a huge jerk.
Yep I never use auto high beam
Just push the indicator,-arm forward to override it.
Loosing functionality of the radar in my car and changed to "Vision" it became a constant pain fighting the cars automations. Even light/medium rain gives intermittend "Reduced speed due to limited visibility" even on basic cruisecontrol. Auto-light/wiper no forced, which at best is utter crap with lights blinding 80-90% of all cars, whether opposing or going same direction. Car actually tried pulling me hard towards a truck in medium rain when it was 10 meters in front of me while on selfsteer on a mainroad. This happened at 50 MPh. Simply unbelievable such degradation can be allowed to my property by a manufacturer...But uh how i loved the car i bought a year ago and the first 25.000 Miles i drove in it untill Tesla spoiled that experience. Simply in disbelief on this when driving 600 Miles a week in scandinavia where rain & darkness is a big part of a cars life.
"Tesla Bjørn" made a very detailed video on the auto-light issues, wipers are just as bad as Andy describes. Link to "Bjørns" video, you should check that too before you buy: th-cam.com/video/Wi0kmshoVDk/w-d-xo.html
TY Andy
Hey Andy, I have a 1 year old that i'll be driving around in car seat. With the way the safety latch is designed, in case of emergency, how are we suppose to get our child out from the outside because we definitely need to run over to the back seat to lift the kid out. With a low rate of spontaneous combustion, I would still like to be ready for this situation.
I can hear the whine.
