Demo drive was fantastic. Last week I ordered a 2025 Tesla Model Y LR RWD 5 seat interior, to replace a 2020 Tesla Model 3 SR Plus. Delivery date is this week, can't wait. Y LR RWD 5 seat solves my needs for, FSD v13, 50% more range, more cargo space, low cost of ownership, value for money price, basic 4 year or 50k mi (80k km) limited warranty, and 8 year or 100k mi (161k km) battery and drive unit limited warranty.

Just wait 2 months and new model will become the default one with probably the same price as current ones, maybe few thousand more because of the demand, but even that should go back to normal in about a year. As soon as they sell out the old stock they will cancel the launch edition.

@AdamWellinformed I'm from Europe and FSD unsupervised won't be avaliable here for a while, maybe even a year so it's not that great of value, and as I said the price will go down a ton in the coming months which will destroy the resale value + I'm more of a Model 3 guy. But damn I would definitely like that design and extra features on a 3. I'm probably gonna buy a used older 3 in a few months and then switch to a newer 3 as they come down in price.

As of today 24/0/25, in UK the only refresh model Y is the Long Range AWD and only available in Black or Grey, black interior, 30” wheels, acceleration boost. No other colours, no white interior, no free EAP or FSD (unlike in USA). It seems very expensive compared to elsewhere, very disappointing but as usual the UK car buyers are being fleeced.
@AdamWellinformed12 күн бұрын
Yes, it isn’t cheap. Once supply is ramped, we can expect the cheaper rwd models to follow through. Hopefully, no later than by the end of the year! The US offering with FSD and everything else does seem really competitive IF you were going to buy all it anyway. You like the new Model Y? Planning to upgrade?

@ I’ve had my Model 3 Long Range for nearly 4 years and my wife has a BYD Atto 3 Design which we bought new 6 months ago. As I’m retired now we could go down to one car but it would need to have the range and size that the Model Y provides. If the deal in the UK was as good as it is in Australia and America, I would get the Foundation model Long Range AWD in Red with white interior, tow bar, probably the smaller wheels for the smoother ride and longer range and the FSD or Enhanced Autopilot which I have on my Model 3 which does everything that is currently allowed in the UK. In my earlier post I mistyped the wheel size as 30”, it should have been 20”.
@jamespaul258711 күн бұрын
Nope, FSD isn't free anywhere. It's built into the higher launch edition price in every market. I think you mean 20" wheels, 30" would be enormous 😊
@mykehoole578710 күн бұрын
@ sorry about the error on wheel size, I did mean 30”. As for the FSD, the on line order system for Tesla in the UK clearly states that the New Model Y comes with the standard autopilot and that FSD is an extra £6,800 taking the price above £68,000 and we only get the choice of 2 colours, black and silver. I am not bothered about the tow bar as I’ve never used the one on my Model 3, or the acceleration boost as it’s already quick enough for a family SUV but FSD would be of more value or even Enhanced Autopilot which I’ve had on my current car for 4 years. I won’t be ordering one unless I can get a red one with white interior like my current 2021 Model 3 Long Range.

@DaCa465418 күн бұрын
@AdamWellinformed I don't understand why people are so obsessed with a vehicle that offers nothing new except for cosmetic changes. Honestly, this vehicle is pretty unattractive. I was a fan of my 2024 Model Y, but after what I've learned, I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone. For starters, you're losing $15,000 right off the bat. Then, you have to shell out $1,600 to $2,000 for a new set of tires that only last 25K to 30K miles. Charging on the road is far more expensive than advertised - it's not the 45 to 50 cents per kWh they claim. 🙄 Repair costs are outrageous, and the service department is a joke. Their customer service is abysmal. And let’s talk range - if I drive 145 miles on a 100% charge, I’m barely left with 10% charge. Where’s that supposed 300-mile range? Exactly. Fans will keep supporting it no matter what, but they don't share the full picture. I base my opinion on facts, not blind loyalty. So in reality, I’m really getting only 55% of the miles advertised, which would equal 155 miles. Really! The other thing is the insurance - $210 per month! Really?! I was paying just $64 a month on my 2023 Tiquan. 🤦♂️ Just the hype. People, get the facts first. And the battery - after the warranty is up, you’re looking at $15K to $25K for a new one. If it gets damaged, I’m sure Tesla will find some way to deny the repair. I had an issue with a warranty repair on my new vehicle, and the clerk's assessment was that it was my fault due to "daily use." 🤦♂️ I had to fight it, and thankfully, I won. Unreal. You do you my friend. Fans will only be fans.✌️

i think that for an actual Model Y owner, the Upgrade its not interesting enough to swap to the new model. The Fokus was clearly to give the actual Model Y a rebrush and not a complete new Model. Its kinda like your women goes to the bathroom to give her a little rebrush ;o) She looks of cource after that stunning but her body hasnt changed etc. ;o) So that is maybe a big bummer to many potential buyers. I think they give away a big chance to introduce 800v technology or a bigger battery, but at the end I was always thrilled by the "old" model Y and for that I will get a new Model Y Juniper. Im not sure yet, if I should buy it or if I should lease it, because maybe in 1-2 Years they will release a new Model with 800v Technology and a bigger battery. But at the end, i really dont drive too long distances, rarely more than 250 miles a day. So........ maybe a longer distance its not that important, but a faster loading would be nice...... im not sure now.

Also to consider for any new vehicle purchase after end of March 25 will be the new VED tax. I expect the new Tesla Y will be above 40k which means adding £600 a year (from year 2 to year 7) to any monthly finance payments. I strongly suspect that most purchases of the refreshed Y will be via salary sacrifice or lease deals which avoids the huge depreciation all vehicles purchased from new will experience. I bought a used Sept 2021 Model 3 RWD plus with 11500 on the clock on finance at Tesla and pay £180pm over 2 years after which I have a ballon payment if I want to own it but I expected that finance settlement figure will be far higher than the actual value of the car so it’s highly probable I will evaluate what the market has to other in 20 months time and hand back the Tesla. I don’t think I will miss it but that’s another story!
