2024 Tesla Model Y Must-see Review!

[@liam1902]

Regarding your concern about the audio, did you get the RWD ($42,990 at the time) or LR AWD $(47,990) version? If you got the RWD version, then yes the sound system has less features than the AWD LR and Perf versions. MY RWD (SR & LR) have "7 speakers, 1 amp, and immersive sound" whereas the MY AWD LR & Perf have "13 speakers, 1 subwoofer, 2 amps, and immersive sound".

@liam1902 thanks for this information. Not sure what happened but it is working fine now since the last update. It was definitely much lower than when i first got it in March but seems to be working normally again. I have the RWD option though.

Excellent honest review. May I ask you why did you prefer the lease over financing?

Thank you! I hadn’t got a chance to do my research on the Model Y before I got the upgrade call from Tesla. I initially liked the Y before I got the Model 3 but the price was too much for me at the time. I’m planning to purchase my next vehicle as my “retirement car” so I didn’t want to rack up mileage on one I’m purchasing. Plus I wasn’t sure if I’d love it. Hope that helps.

@@IAmJobOptional If price is a big factor for you, I would definitely keep an eye out for discounts and incentives for the Model Y throughout this year. It's rumored that the Model Y refresh will come out sometime in 2025 with all the new changes from the Model 3 refresh (the one with ambient lighting, ventilated seats, new exterior/interior design, etc). Due to this, Tesla might do many incentives (inventory discounts, promo financing like 0.99% financing, free paint or seat color upgrades, etc) to get current 2024 Model Y's selling. Otherwise if you want the latest and greatest, you can wait until Model Y refresh comes out but you will have to pay full MSRP for it (no discounts/incentives except for maybe $7.5k tax credit if that's still around). I guess since you just leased a new Model Y, you could maybe wait 2-3 years and hopefully get some discounts on new Model Y refresh when they eventually start doing that many years later.
