I don’t usually write reviews, but this comparison is one of the most practical day-to-day ones I’ve seen. Just what I’ve been looking for. Thank you :)
This is exactly the video I’ve been waiting for since the Y came out. Glad you so expertly and thoroughly detailed everything we’d want to know in comparing the two cars. Well done!
Thanks, David. I've gotten some additional requests, both through here, facebook, and from some friends. So I made another video this weekend, and I'm just finishing up the editing and will post it shortly. Hopefully it is also one that you will appreciate.
Excellent. Very useful comparisons. Best I've seen so far. These comparisons are critically important to me , as I'm considering a Y purchase. But, it's so early they don't have any availble to see directly or sit in. THanks!
Huge difference Model Y and 3, I could not believe the difference in driving and space, the experience is huge, when I first went to Tesla I drove the Model 3, I was expecting to get Model 3 but once I got into model Y there was no problem in decision price wise..
A station wagon/Sportwagon version of model 3 would be more efficient and more practical (longer and more bulky rear loads) than Model Y. Model S Sportwagon has been done in Netherlands. Bit like Alfa Romeo 159SW v saloon version. Also gives rear pax better headroom without aerodynamic compromise of Cross Over body style as well as better polar moment of interia for all on board allowing much more smooth cornering experience.
3:40 that's a good shot/comparison right there. Very hard to keep perspective on videos when moving perspective significantly so this was a good/stable/fixed shot showing A/B. Thanks!
Thanks. I'll try to add more of those side by side shots next time. I'm going to make one later today to cover a few things some people asked for, and I'll probably edit and post it either later tonight or tomorrow.
Excellent and very helpful video. I keep going back and forth on whether to keep my M3 SR+ or take the MY LR AWD. This video helped me a lot, especially now that the hitch is available. Thanks!
Thanks for the comparison of the two vehicles. Gives me a good idea how large my 2023 Model Y long range vehicle exterior/interior sizes will be when I get it this week. I did do a test drive of the model Y and enjoyed the vehicle. take care.
Thanks, excellent video! helped me to finally decide and ordered my model Y today!!! now waiting for the delivery... used your referral code for my thanks.
Thanks. Are you Pardeep, Chris, Seghei, or Jeni? Or Suppakit who canceled? I've got 5 referrals including a buddy, and it's super awesome to get free charging. But in reality, we will likely never consume the remaining 3,500 miles of charging by 2023, unless the Cybertruck gets delivered early next year and we go on a super long road trip in the summer.
I think if they took the Model 3, and made the rear a powered hatchback, and had the seats fold down from the back, it would make the 3 a definite winner for me. Because then it would primarily be just about how much space there is. But without the powered back, and with the trunk instead of hatchback, it differentiates the cars enough that I prefer the Y for functionality and the 3 for fun. If the question was only about cargo space, I can live with the slightly less space of the 3.
@@JeremyHalbert this was a useful comment. For me it's less about space and more about fun, basic driving practicality and looks. Do wish the model 3 had better rear comfort though, which is like about the Model Y. Also wish they got rid of the roof bar in the Model 3.
I really do enjoy these videos unlike others that pump out multiple Tesla videos daily just to get views and they don’t even own any of those cars! I simply click on the “not interested” to hide them useless videos.
Because of the ground clearance, it’s tough to get out of the Model 3. No contest in cargo space, the Model 3 is lacking if you want room to carry anything!
I agree. From an outside looks perspective, I like the sleekness of of the 3 better. From a functionality standpoint with a family of 4, I prefer the Y. But if my kids were in college, and I didn't have 9 years more of hauling them around, I'd probably go for the 3 over the Y. I'm lucky that we kept both our previous cars for so long that the timing worked out for us to get both the Y and the 3 right now. My wife gets to haul the kids around in the Y, and I get to enjoy the 3. Win/Win!
GREAT video! We are in Spokane, have a blue model 3 & a red Y {great minds!} on the way- probably will be delivered here, since we don't have the option to pick up in Bellevue like we did the 3 (and road tripped home!) Thanks!
Yes. I've always been in the habit of removing the front wheel. As you can tell from the video, I'm not so great at putting bikes in cars. :) Removing the wheel makes it much more likely that I won't damage the car.
great video comparison, thank you. Is there a trunk cover in model Y to cover the luggage (hiding it and keeping it from reflecting in the hatchback window)
It should be. But I believe all the photos of the third row to date have been forward facing, with very little leg room and very little head room. Although, they've been known to make late changes, so maybe that's why the third row option got delayed, because they're changing the orientation.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. How does the Y handle vs the 3? Does the 3 feel a lot more nimble or slightly more nimble. And where did you get your floor mats? Thank you
The 3 feels like a sporty car. The Y feels like a super nimble SUV. But a super nimble SUV still doesn't feel as fun as a fun sports car. The good floor mats we got were direct from the online Tesla store.
It's tough to tell right now, because the Y is so new, that we're enjoying it more from that standpoint. Also, it's all wheel drive, so it drives differently. There's both a pull/push feel when you hammer the accelerator down. The 3 is lighter and more responsive, and it's only rear wheel drive. So it only has that 'push' feel when you drive it. If both cars were brand new, I'd probably have to say I prefer driving the 3, not the Y. But just because the Y is newer, we are driving it more. Once this Shelter In Place order is gone, we'll be putting more miles on it and will have a better sense of it.
I am deciding between the 3, the Y, and the Ioniq 5, and for me the worst thing about the two Teslas is the transparent roofs. I dislike that feeling of passing beneath bright lights on the highway at night.
@@SandKraken Still using my gas car. Waiting for all the 2022 cars to be available. I still don't like glass roofs, and I can't use all that Tesla speed.
I'm in Seattle, so I'm not likely the best person to ask about light coming through. But I honestly forget that the roof is transparent most of the time. Even in bright summer days, it's not something that comes into play. So either their Tesla glass is doing an amazing job of filtering out the light and heat, while allowing you to look up clearly, or the grey skies in Seattle are very good at muting the effects of the light coming in. Or a bit of both.
Tacoma here. Same config as you, except white interior. Probably why I haven't heard anything yet. Anyways, thanks for the video! What all came in the charging bag by the way?
I think the charging bag had the mobile charger and J1772 adapter, but not the NEMA plug. We are sharing the charging setup that we had already for the Model 3, so I didn't look too closely.
That is the best question ever! That may require a new video. Or I may just reply here after testing it if I get lazy. I do know that you can fit a bunch of clubs laying down with the seats up, but I’ve not tested them upright,
Nope. They're too tall. And with the trunk cover standing, there's no way to fit them. If you ditch the trunk floor cover completely, you could do it, but it would still be a steep angle.
I came here looking for rear legroom comparisons. I understand the Model Y has about 5” more legroom than the Model 3, but I didn’t find where you noted the difference.
It's at about the 8 minute mark. If you hover over the timeline at the bottom of the video, it shows the different sections. Also, the description has direct links to the different sections. The legroom comparison is in the "Interior Comparison" section.
It's around 300 miles. But we never charge above 90%, and try not to let it get below 10%, so we typically only go 240 miles between charges on long trips.
We traded in the Highlander. It was a CarMax deal. You take the car in to them, they appraise it, and then you negotiate a bit, and they take that off your purchase price. We did the trade in rather than direct selling it, just to avoid the hassle, and to reduce the state tax amount, because a trade in reduces the purchase price.
It seems like it barely fits though. I guess it would depend what type of bag you have because a trolly bag may be too big. If you have a standing bag that's different as they are sometimes smaller since they are meant to be carried.
@@overnightclassic2 Can you send me a link to the type of bag you've got? That'll give me a good size for reference to be able to answer better. I have the foldable style golf carts. 1 clicgear and one similar model from Costco which is a little bigger. So they do compress pretty small. I can fit them all in the back without having to fold the seats down, so I would assume that larger golf push carts would fit with the seats folded down easily. In the video here I didn't use any of the under trunk areas to enlarge the available space - which I did to when including both push carts. Here's a reference for the clicgear style push cart... www.amazon.com/Clicgear-Model-3-Wheel-Golf-Push/dp/B01BCW2714?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
Honestly, I never notice the bar. We love the openness above, but don’t often actually look up, so after a while it’s just more of having the extra space and light. And the bar doesn’t impact that part of it for us.
Y. Y feels bigger on the inside overall. And definitely feels more massive on the luggage space. If size matters, go Y. If feel matters, the 3 feels more fun.
I've got some other videos (just 3 or 4) that may cover that in more detail. But in general, the 3 drives like a fun sports car, and the Y drives like a nimble SUV. If you don't need a lot of space, the 3 will be more fun. But if you don't crave the sports car feel, and value instead the massive storage space, then the Y will be the sportiest SUV you'll likely get.
@@dontclicksubscribe3693 Getting more leg room and better height for upright view is appreciated, but when you are spending >40-50K you expect little better anesthetics.
Thanks! It did come with the J1772 adapter as part of the mobile charging pack, but it did not come with a flat tire repair kit (unless it's hidden somewhere). There's roadside assistance you can request through the app if you get a flat.
@@JeremyHalbert I thought it odd that it would come with the flat tire repair kit, but I saw a review by BrewersArcade in which his Y came with the tire repair kit.
@@bruces2957 I double checked - no tire repair kit that I could find. I didn't even know there was one. I had to check Tesla's site to know what to look for. :)
@@JeremyHalbert Thanks for checking. My model 3 did not come with one, so I was surprise to see a video of a model Y having one upon delivery. Maybe that particular delivery center was adding them. Haven’t see anyone else showing or saying that it was included at delivery.
thank you for this! just wondering how it is on a bright day with that glass over your head? I have been concerned that it doesn't have a retractable screen to block the sun.
I'm in Seattle, so factor that in to my answer as it may be different if I lived in Texas... I've not had any issues with not having a screen to block the sun. In our highlander, I would often close the sun roof with the retractable shade because it would hit on my head and I could feel it burning. That's not the case with either the 3 or the Y, and we did not do any custom tinting. I think they tried very hard to make that top glass block out as much of the sun as possible, so you get a nice view through it, but not much in the way of heat. Also, if I am parked in the sun, I set it to keep the car below 105 when I'm away from the car, and I start the AC from the app about 15 minutes before I go back to the car, so I don't have any concerns about leaving the car in the sun either.
When the doors close and no one is in the driver's seat, the screen turns off. As soon as the door opens again, it turns back on. And if I was in the driver's seat, it would have stayed on and it would be ready to drive.
Helpful video! As a fellow PNWer, how does the trunk do with all the rain we get here? I heard there were complaints with the 3 that water ran into the trunk cargo space when opening.
I've heard the same, but I've never had any issues with it. Granted, I park in a garage, and don't use the trunk in the rain much, so my level of use in the rain may not be as high as others. But after 2 years of ownership, I don't recall a single instance where water has run into the trunk.
Jeremy Halbert Great to hear! Model Y looks great and I can’t wait to get mine (and I look forward to sitting in the trunk to put my golf shoes on, too)! Thanks for the reply!
And on the Y you can see that it has an additional massive seal attached to the hood so if that doesn't keep the water out of the frunk Tesla should probably stop making cars ;)
Bigger, more automated, but less 'sporty' feeling. My ideal setup would be a roadster and a cybertruck. But since those aren't on the market, the Y and 3 it will be.
Hello, I've been doing a lot of Tesla research and want to get the Model Y myself but never thought of doing a trade until I saw your video. Can you tell me what all you needed to provide besides the title of course to do the trade in?
@@str8304 Tesla asks for your vin number, you enter it, and they provide a dollar amount. We checked it against Carvana.com and it was about the same - 6,500 for a 2008 Highlander Limited. The site said to include photos, but before we had a chance to add photos, they gave the offer. Then, when we went to pick up the Tesla, we just signed the title and handed it to them, along with the keys and car. Very simple.
Yes. And I believe you have to start with 0:00 to make it work. When I originally just had it start at 1:15, it wasn't putting the breaks and the text at the bottom of the video.
@@JeremyHalbert thanks for the info. I've seen this on multiple videos and couldn't figure out how they were doing it. Now if I ever get around to posting another video, I'll know how to do that. :)
Nope. Same size. The interior feels identical. And for my wife and I, that's actually a great thing. When we get in and drive each other's cars, it just feels right.
I wouldn’t wait. If it was coming in the next 6-12 months for sure, perhaps I would, but if it was me, I’d prefer to have it now, and upgrade to something else later if the tech changes drastically. But I’m glad I got the 3 when I did, and I’m glad I got the Y. I compared my 3 from 2018 to a friend who just got one last month. There are definitely some improvements I wish I had, but when you compare the 2018 that I received in 2018, with the same 2018 model 3 as it is now, the differences between those versions are so much more drastic. It’s impressive how much the software updates enhance the ownership experience over the years.
Sure. I’ll do another video this weekend. I bought the official Tesla all weather floor liners for the 3, so I’ll try to show how they fit in both the Y and 3 too. The ones I showed here were cheaper aftermarket ones, so the Tesla ones would be a better comparison.
So, I measured today, and I'm working on the video now. Since I don't have the roof rack, I just have to go from measurements. The front of both roofs had about 50 inches of space between the left and right sides, and further back had about 46 inches of space between them. And I looked at where the glass sits compared to the frame. It appeared to be all identical to me. So if I was to guess (from just what I saw on my two cars) I'd say the roof rack could fit, if it you installed it in the exact same spot as on the 3. However, I did find this post, where mobilesuit818 said that they tried using their roof rack on the Y, and that it was not compatible, that the roof was narrower on the Y, and that the glass on the Y was set lower. teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-roof-rack-compatibility-3-vs-y-confirmed-not-to-fit.189755/ So I thought about why that would be. And I think it's possible that we're both right, because the roof line of the 3 and Y are different. The Y is more rounded, so it continues to go higher from the point where the windshield meets the roof, whereas the 3 is flatter. So it's possible that the roof rack on the Y would have to be set back further, thus being in the more narrow section of the roof. I hope I explained that well enough. I'll try to do so in the video too, but I probably won't have it uploaded until tomorrow afternoon.
longtu01, I just saw today that the Tesla site is now showing Tesla Model Y accessories, and the roof rack is there. It costs the same as the Model 3 roof rack, but it does look to be different. I wasn't able to find the owners manual for it yet though, hopefully they'll be adding that soon.
Surprisingly you can charge it with a regular outlet but that takes almost a whole day. Most people install a dryer outlet in their garage & that brings the charging down to 4-6 hours instead of 18-20 hours. This is the most affordable way to get great home charging. Some people also go for the tesla wall charger, a little more expensive but charges extremely fast for home charging. Theres a lot of vids for you to compare :)
Totally normal power requirements. When we got the 3, they just added a 14-50 outlet to a new spot on our really old electric box. But when we got the Y, our electrician said our box was super old and out of date, and we really should upgrade it, so for around 2K we did, and we got a ton of extra space to upgrade in the future. But because we don't need to charge often, we could absolutely live with just one fast charger for 2 cars in the garage. And if you don't do a fast charger, the regular wall spots will likely be enough, unless you drive more than 100 miles per day on average.
Check my latest video. th-cam.com/video/KEc5S6Y5iqk/w-d-xo.html I don't have a box, so I can't test it, but I did google what the typical dimensions are for it, and then I measured it in the Model Y, and it looks like it would not fit. If the car were two inches longer and 4 inches wider, it would lay flat and fit perfectly. Or if the hatch opening was more square, you may be able to put it in at an angle, and have it fit that way. But as it currently is, my best guess is that you'd be struggling to make it fit, and it may not fit at all.
I don't notice much of a difference in headspace. But I'm not 6'5" like you. I'm 175-180cm (5'11"). I tried a test by holding a 6 inch ruler above my head, and I think in both cars my head would be hitting the roof if I added 6 inches of height. So you'll likely be needing to adjust the seats to the lowest, and adding some recline in order to be comfortable. But that's more of a guess than a guarantee.
I'm not sure if it's the heat pump, but the Y makes a loud whining sound when I plug it in to charge after it's cold. I'll try to document it this weekend. My 3 doesn't do that, but I have heard from other model three owners that theirs do the same. Also, my 3 starts charging at a high rate immediately, and the Y charges very slowly at first while the whining noise is happening, and then gets a higher charge rate later, as if it's directing the power to heat the batteries first, but the 3 is not. The noise I'm talking about is coming from the frunk area.
If anyone can chime in and let me know if their 3 or Y makes a similar sound when charging, or if the charging starts out very slow at first, and then shoots up to maximum charge speed after 15 minutes, please let me know.
I did get confirmation from a facebook forum that a number of model Y owners have the same experience. Whiny, slow charging for 15-20 minutes, and then full charging.
I would probably get the Y. I do like how the 3 is more sporty. But the versatility of the Y, and the larger opening in the back is enough to push me to it.
Wow ok thanks I’m planning on buy a Tesla around January I have a 2018 civic hatchback so I’m sure I’ll like the model y hopefully it still feels sporty
How do I give you credit and super charger mins , you look like a nice family . I will be purchasing in about 2 months I’m deployed right now. I want you to get the credit for my purchase . I’m getting a Y
Make sure your order is made with his referral code that you can find in the description of this video. If you already made an order just contact Tesla Service Rep and they can add it in.
I had set up a light in a few of the shots, but you're right, it didn't work out too well on the lighting. My big self ended up blocking the light, I think.

Looks like the hood is not as visible in the Y. I like that. I like the feeling as if you are just looking out a window.

beautiful car...congrats
Informative, especially with bike. Do you always remove front wheel?
Yes. I've always been in the habit of removing the front wheel. As you can tell from the video, I'm not so great at putting bikes in cars. :) Removing the wheel makes it much more likely that I won't damage the car.
Thank you so much for the video, I hope you get a lot of thumbs up, views and subs from this.
What year is your Model 3? With my 2020 there is a notch in the trunk like the Y so I can hold the lid at an angle while I access the sub trunk.
It's May of 2018, so fairly early on, just after the updated seats came out. Thanks for the info on the 2020 version.
Car of the Century !! 👍👍
Thank you for a great comparison. One question, do you know if you can use the model 3 winter tires on the model y?
No idea. We've never had it come up. :(
great video comparison, thank you. Is there a trunk cover in model Y to cover the luggage (hiding it and keeping it from reflecting in the hatchback window)
No there is not (at least not for the early version that I got - and I don't believe they've added it since).
Thank you for the video! I am now wondering how the 3rd row can fit in the Y? Perhaps, it's rear facing seat?
It should be. But I believe all the photos of the third row to date have been forward facing, with very little leg room and very little head room. Although, they've been known to make late changes, so maybe that's why the third row option got delayed, because they're changing the orientation.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. How does the Y handle vs the 3? Does the 3 feel a lot more nimble or slightly more nimble. And where did you get your floor mats? Thank you
The 3 feels like a sporty car. The Y feels like a super nimble SUV. But a super nimble SUV still doesn't feel as fun as a fun sports car. The good floor mats we got were direct from the online Tesla store.
Nice and very useful information, but which one do you enjoy driving the most ...
It's tough to tell right now, because the Y is so new, that we're enjoying it more from that standpoint. Also, it's all wheel drive, so it drives differently. There's both a pull/push feel when you hammer the accelerator down. The 3 is lighter and more responsive, and it's only rear wheel drive. So it only has that 'push' feel when you drive it. If both cars were brand new, I'd probably have to say I prefer driving the 3, not the Y. But just because the Y is newer, we are driving it more. Once this Shelter In Place order is gone, we'll be putting more miles on it and will have a better sense of it.
I am deciding between the 3, the Y, and the Ioniq 5, and for me the worst thing about the two Teslas is the transparent roofs. I dislike that feeling of passing beneath bright lights on the highway at night.
What did you choose? also stuck on those 3
@@SandKraken Still using my gas car. Waiting for all the 2022 cars to be available. I still don't like glass roofs, and I can't use all that Tesla speed.
I'm in Seattle, so I'm not likely the best person to ask about light coming through. But I honestly forget that the roof is transparent most of the time. Even in bright summer days, it's not something that comes into play. So either their Tesla glass is doing an amazing job of filtering out the light and heat, while allowing you to look up clearly, or the grey skies in Seattle are very good at muting the effects of the light coming in. Or a bit of both.
@@thebarak I drove the Tesla Y 600km through the night on highway. You won't notice any light coming through the glass roof. The speed are ridiculous
Tacoma here. Same config as you, except white interior. Probably why I haven't heard anything yet. Anyways, thanks for the video! What all came in the charging bag by the way?
I think the charging bag had the mobile charger and J1772 adapter, but not the NEMA plug. We are sharing the charging setup that we had already for the Model 3, so I didn't look too closely.
Can you stand up 2 sets of golf clubs using the undertrunk on the Y and still close the hatch?
That is the best question ever! That may require a new video. Or I may just reply here after testing it if I get lazy. I do know that you can fit a bunch of clubs laying down with the seats up, but I’ve not tested them upright,
Nope. They're too tall. And with the trunk cover standing, there's no way to fit them. If you ditch the trunk floor cover completely, you could do it, but it would still be a steep angle.
I came here looking for rear legroom comparisons. I understand the Model Y has about 5” more legroom than the Model 3, but I didn’t find where you noted the difference.
It's at about the 8 minute mark. If you hover over the timeline at the bottom of the video, it shows the different sections. Also, the description has direct links to the different sections. The legroom comparison is in the "Interior Comparison" section.
I was wondering what kind of maximum range are you getting on the model y?
It's around 300 miles. But we never charge above 90%, and try not to let it get below 10%, so we typically only go 240 miles between charges on long trips.
Did you guys trade in the highlander or just bought the Y without a trade in.
We traded in the Highlander. It was a CarMax deal. You take the car in to them, they appraise it, and then you negotiate a bit, and they take that off your purchase price. We did the trade in rather than direct selling it, just to avoid the hassle, and to reduce the state tax amount, because a trade in reduces the purchase price.
Hi - Thanks for the review loved it. I have two golf trollies and trolly bags - do you think they would fit ??
I have fit two golf bags and the foldable golf push carts in the back recently.
@@JeremyHalbert Thanks for the info - cant wait for them to be available in UK - England
It seems like it barely fits though. I guess it would depend what type of bag you have because a trolly bag may be too big. If you have a standing bag that's different as they are sometimes smaller since they are meant to be carried.
@@overnightclassic2 Can you send me a link to the type of bag you've got? That'll give me a good size for reference to be able to answer better. I have the foldable style golf carts. 1 clicgear and one similar model from Costco which is a little bigger. So they do compress pretty small. I can fit them all in the back without having to fold the seats down, so I would assume that larger golf push carts would fit with the seats folded down easily. In the video here I didn't use any of the under trunk areas to enlarge the available space - which I did to when including both push carts. Here's a reference for the clicgear style push cart... www.amazon.com/Clicgear-Model-3-Wheel-Golf-Push/dp/B01BCW2714?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
How does the glass roof compare? Is it much of a downgrade to have that bar in the middle of glass in model 3?
Honestly, I never notice the bar. We love the openness above, but don’t often actually look up, so after a while it’s just more of having the extra space and light. And the bar doesn’t impact that part of it for us.
Is the Model Y driver’s seat area wider vs the Model 3?
Which one has more elbow room?
Y. Y feels bigger on the inside overall. And definitely feels more massive on the luggage space. If size matters, go Y. If feel matters, the 3 feels more fun.
Very good comparison, but what about the driving comparison?
I've got some other videos (just 3 or 4) that may cover that in more detail. But in general, the 3 drives like a fun sports car, and the Y drives like a nimble SUV. If you don't need a lot of space, the 3 will be more fun. But if you don't crave the sports car feel, and value instead the massive storage space, then the Y will be the sportiest SUV you'll likely get.
Honestly, the height raising idea for the front seats is innovative but it looks disgusting. They should have done a better job...
The white one with black wheels looks nice
@@gordonslone9558 I am talking about only the bottom of the seats.
I mean I don't see how its disgusting you just got more leg room.
@@dontclicksubscribe3693 Getting more leg room and better height for upright view is appreciated, but when you are spending >40-50K you expect little better anesthetics.
Nice video, waiting for the call on my model Y, also have a M3. Did your Y come with a flat tire repair kit and a J1772 adapter?
Thanks! It did come with the J1772 adapter as part of the mobile charging pack, but it did not come with a flat tire repair kit (unless it's hidden somewhere). There's roadside assistance you can request through the app if you get a flat.
@@JeremyHalbert I thought it odd that it would come with the flat tire repair kit, but I saw a review by BrewersArcade in which his Y came with the tire repair kit.
@@bruces2957 I double checked - no tire repair kit that I could find. I didn't even know there was one. I had to check Tesla's site to know what to look for. :)
@@JeremyHalbert Thanks for checking. My model 3 did not come with one, so I was surprise to see a video of a model Y having one upon delivery. Maybe that particular delivery center was adding them. Haven’t see anyone else showing or saying that it was included at delivery.
thank you for this! just wondering how it is on a bright day with that glass over your head? I have been concerned that it doesn't have a retractable screen to block the sun.
I'm in Seattle, so factor that in to my answer as it may be different if I lived in Texas... I've not had any issues with not having a screen to block the sun. In our highlander, I would often close the sun roof with the retractable shade because it would hit on my head and I could feel it burning. That's not the case with either the 3 or the Y, and we did not do any custom tinting. I think they tried very hard to make that top glass block out as much of the sun as possible, so you get a nice view through it, but not much in the way of heat. Also, if I am parked in the sun, I set it to keep the car below 105 when I'm away from the car, and I start the AC from the app about 15 minutes before I go back to the car, so I don't have any concerns about leaving the car in the sun either.
Hows the entertainment system in the Model Y? Are there speakers in the back that work in the long range model?
Yes. I believe the speakers system is identical in all of them. I think Tesla does that to save costs on needing to change their build process.
Great!
This is asmr
Yes. I've been told that my voice in videos is very calming and soothing. I can put people to sleep with ease. :)
At th-cam.com/video/p8Hv4r261us/w-d-xo.html the Screen in front turns off. Why and how can that be turned on again ?
When the doors close and no one is in the driver's seat, the screen turns off. As soon as the door opens again, it turns back on. And if I was in the driver's seat, it would have stayed on and it would be ready to drive.
Helpful video! As a fellow PNWer, how does the trunk do with all the rain we get here? I heard there were complaints with the 3 that water ran into the trunk cargo space when opening.
I've heard the same, but I've never had any issues with it. Granted, I park in a garage, and don't use the trunk in the rain much, so my level of use in the rain may not be as high as others. But after 2 years of ownership, I don't recall a single instance where water has run into the trunk.
Jeremy Halbert Great to hear! Model Y looks great and I can’t wait to get mine (and I look forward to sitting in the trunk to put my golf shoes on, too)! Thanks for the reply!
And on the Y you can see that it has an additional massive seal attached to the hood so if that doesn't keep the water out of the frunk Tesla should probably stop making cars ;)
Why did you not reject it because of the defect
Bottom line: the Y is bigger!
Bigger, more automated, but less 'sporty' feeling. My ideal setup would be a roadster and a cybertruck. But since those aren't on the market, the Y and 3 it will be.
Hello, I've been doing a lot of Tesla research and want to get the Model Y myself but never thought of doing a trade until I saw your video. Can you tell me what all you needed to provide besides the title of course to do the trade in?
Did you have to provide your own estimate of your trade ins worth?
@@str8304 Tesla asks for your vin number, you enter it, and they provide a dollar amount. We checked it against Carvana.com and it was about the same - 6,500 for a 2008 Highlander Limited. The site said to include photos, but before we had a chance to add photos, they gave the offer. Then, when we went to pick up the Tesla, we just signed the title and handed it to them, along with the keys and car. Very simple.
@@JeremyHalbert Thank you so much.
Did you get the breaks in the red bars at the bottom by putting timestamps in the description on separate lines?
Yes. And I believe you have to start with 0:00 to make it work. When I originally just had it start at 1:15, it wasn't putting the breaks and the text at the bottom of the video.
@@JeremyHalbert thanks for the info. I've seen this on multiple videos and couldn't figure out how they were doing it. Now if I ever get around to posting another video, I'll know how to do that. :)
Great video. Very resourceful. I was curious, is the screen on Model Y bigger than the 3?
Rahat Meraj No
Same size. Like ~80% of Model Y parts are shared with the 3.
@@jg5001 thanks for the info
Nope. Same size. The interior feels identical. And for my wife and I, that's actually a great thing. When we get in and drive each other's cars, it just feels right.
Should I wait until the new generation of the battery be out to buy the Tesla? I really want the model Y 😄
I wouldn’t wait. If it was coming in the next 6-12 months for sure, perhaps I would, but if it was me, I’d prefer to have it now, and upgrade to something else later if the tech changes drastically. But I’m glad I got the 3 when I did, and I’m glad I got the Y. I compared my 3 from 2018 to a friend who just got one last month. There are definitely some improvements I wish I had, but when you compare the 2018 that I received in 2018, with the same 2018 model 3 as it is now, the differences between those versions are so much more drastic. It’s impressive how much the software updates enhance the ownership experience over the years.

So there’s no spare tire?
No. Rarely any cars have spare tires anymore. Although, Tesla will offer to tow you up to 50 miles if need be
I have a spare tire in my Audi TT 2016!
Can you compare the roof as well? Like would a M3 roof rack fit model Y?
Sure. I’ll do another video this weekend. I bought the official Tesla all weather floor liners for the 3, so I’ll try to show how they fit in both the Y and 3 too. The ones I showed here were cheaper aftermarket ones, so the Tesla ones would be a better comparison.
So, I measured today, and I'm working on the video now. Since I don't have the roof rack, I just have to go from measurements. The front of both roofs had about 50 inches of space between the left and right sides, and further back had about 46 inches of space between them. And I looked at where the glass sits compared to the frame. It appeared to be all identical to me. So if I was to guess (from just what I saw on my two cars) I'd say the roof rack could fit, if it you installed it in the exact same spot as on the 3. However, I did find this post, where mobilesuit818 said that they tried using their roof rack on the Y, and that it was not compatible, that the roof was narrower on the Y, and that the glass on the Y was set lower. teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-roof-rack-compatibility-3-vs-y-confirmed-not-to-fit.189755/ So I thought about why that would be. And I think it's possible that we're both right, because the roof line of the 3 and Y are different. The Y is more rounded, so it continues to go higher from the point where the windshield meets the roof, whereas the 3 is flatter. So it's possible that the roof rack on the Y would have to be set back further, thus being in the more narrow section of the roof. I hope I explained that well enough. I'll try to do so in the video too, but I probably won't have it uploaded until tomorrow afternoon.
longtu01, I just saw today that the Tesla site is now showing Tesla Model Y accessories, and the roof rack is there. It costs the same as the Model 3 roof rack, but it does look to be different. I wasn't able to find the owners manual for it yet though, hopefully they'll be adding that soon.
How big is the power at home needed to juice up this awesome cars?
Surprisingly you can charge it with a regular outlet but that takes almost a whole day. Most people install a dryer outlet in their garage & that brings the charging down to 4-6 hours instead of 18-20 hours. This is the most affordable way to get great home charging. Some people also go for the tesla wall charger, a little more expensive but charges extremely fast for home charging. Theres a lot of vids for you to compare :)
Totally normal power requirements. When we got the 3, they just added a 14-50 outlet to a new spot on our really old electric box. But when we got the Y, our electrician said our box was super old and out of date, and we really should upgrade it, so for around 2K we did, and we got a ton of extra space to upgrade in the future. But because we don't need to charge often, we could absolutely live with just one fast charger for 2 cars in the garage. And if you don't do a fast charger, the regular wall spots will likely be enough, unless you drive more than 100 miles per day on average.
does 75inch tv box fits in model y trunk if i low down the seats
The LG CX, 😆
Check my latest video. th-cam.com/video/KEc5S6Y5iqk/w-d-xo.html I don't have a box, so I can't test it, but I did google what the typical dimensions are for it, and then I measured it in the Model Y, and it looks like it would not fit. If the car were two inches longer and 4 inches wider, it would lay flat and fit perfectly. Or if the hatch opening was more square, you may be able to put it in at an angle, and have it fit that way. But as it currently is, my best guess is that you'd be struggling to make it fit, and it may not fit at all.
I’m really interested in the difference in the difference in headspace for tall people - I’m 200 cm
I don't notice much of a difference in headspace. But I'm not 6'5" like you. I'm 175-180cm (5'11"). I tried a test by holding a 6 inch ruler above my head, and I think in both cars my head would be hitting the roof if I added 6 inches of height. So you'll likely be needing to adjust the seats to the lowest, and adding some recline in order to be comfortable. But that's more of a guess than a guarantee.
How is the sound from the heatpump?
I'm not sure if it's the heat pump, but the Y makes a loud whining sound when I plug it in to charge after it's cold. I'll try to document it this weekend. My 3 doesn't do that, but I have heard from other model three owners that theirs do the same. Also, my 3 starts charging at a high rate immediately, and the Y charges very slowly at first while the whining noise is happening, and then gets a higher charge rate later, as if it's directing the power to heat the batteries first, but the 3 is not. The noise I'm talking about is coming from the frunk area.
If anyone can chime in and let me know if their 3 or Y makes a similar sound when charging, or if the charging starts out very slow at first, and then shoots up to maximum charge speed after 15 minutes, please let me know.
I did get confirmation from a facebook forum that a number of model Y owners have the same experience. Whiny, slow charging for 15-20 minutes, and then full charging.
Good video, useful
You called it a frunk.
Chris Graham did you order yours yet??? My garage has never been cleaner.
Does the Y have better suspension than the 3?
They feel about the same to me
v nice video
If u had to choose one if u didn’t have kids which one would u get??
I would probably get the Y. I do like how the 3 is more sporty. But the versatility of the Y, and the larger opening in the back is enough to push me to it.
Wow ok thanks I’m planning on buy a Tesla around January I have a 2018 civic hatchback so I’m sure I’ll like the model y hopefully it still feels sporty
How do I give you credit and super charger mins , you look like a nice family . I will be purchasing in about 2 months I’m deployed right now. I want you to get the credit for my purchase . I’m getting a Y

I had set up a light in a few of the shots, but you're right, it didn't work out too well on the lighting. My big self ended up blocking the light, I think.

Careful with that attitude. Jeremy may not give you a lift in his Tesla when he passes you on the side of the road in your broken down beamer.
