30 NEW Hidden Changes in 2024 Tesla Model Y (Should You Wait or Buy Now?)

[@sivanm2130]

Wanted to wait but needed a new car asap. Incredible deals on inventory models. I would’ve liked improved suspension and ventilated seats but buying in 2024 has worked out well for us.

[@justwatchingdoom]

Ordered Model 3 through app. Went to pick it up and found front bumper was damaged likely from transport ramp and missed on delivery inspection. Also got the red turn signals when 3’s were shipping with yellow lights. I thought it was a model Y exclusive or EU mandate. Even saw a 3 with them on the way home. Felt completely scammed for not getting to choose my available preference after buying a brand new car. Still do…

[@qitstrn]

I just went trading in my Toyota Camry which was one of the most popular cars on the road for a Model Y. I didn’t want to wait.

[@alanbuck9237]

That rear door emergency release situation is still ridiculously bad. Most cars in an emergency you just grab the same handle you use every day pull it and you can get out. How many kids or elderly folks that rarely ride in the car would know how to open the door in an emergency. It’s actually a ridiculous safety hazard. Tesla does a lot of things well, but they sure blow it on things like this.

[@SueC56]

Very interesting, lots of detail

[@samr6148]

Very interesting comparison. Thanks for sharing! I will wait patiently until you are able to compare the refresh :-)

[@von_Apa]

I was planning to sell my Tesla 3 and buy a Tesla Y. Well... This person, Elon Musk, is a crazy person, so... No, I will not buy another Tesla. Maybe Donald Trump will! Goodbye Tesla

[@surf-n-turf]

I bought a ‘24 LR AWD with quick-silver paint. FSD has been really confident driving from Tx to SC with a stop at friends’ in Atlanta. Emotion make you the crazy one.

[@Dark_Vader888]

Holy, this video is the best one I've seen covering the changes. Very impressive job!

[@EverydayChris]

Haha I’m sure I missed some like 12 speakers instead of 13.

[@paddyvega]

I like this guy’s channel… he’s not a Tesla fanboy soyboy.. he’s honest and doesn’t glaze 👏

[@EverydayChris]

On god

[@JodyMay05]

[@rahmanfamily9335]

We own a 2021 and just purchased a 2024 model Friday. Ride quality is way better on 2024 than 2021. I don’t believe ride quality of an X is significantly better than a Y, although I get the adaptive suspension part as we had one for a week, we just didn’t like it . Model Y is undeniably a very versatile car and we love it.

[@EverydayChris]

It really is for the price

[@DecoyVoice]

white teslas. the official mascot of irvine

[@EverydayChris]

Haha

[@strangefire2024]

i'm more than willing to not just wait for the Juniper to come out, i'm willing to even wait a few months AFTER its release. Tesla has a habit of lowering the price of its EVs during end of quarter periods to reach those sales numbers. why not take advantage of that?

[@gcslade]

We traded our 2021 Y AWD for a 2024 Y AWD and immediately noticed some differences. Pro's: 1, Much quieter, less road noise. 2, Cameras are have much sharper images, 3, Seats are more bolstered / soft. 4, Overall, rIde is much softer. 5, Fit and finish far better. 6, Far superior screen and display updates much quicker. 7, Rear cargo cover. Cons, 1, Doesn't feel as fast off the line as 2021, even with boost upgrade it takes more pedal to get it moving, but once it kicks in, it's insanely fast. 2, Sound quality / fidelity much better in the 2021 - very disappointing; compared with other 2024's and they're the same. 3, High speed cornering and handling not as good in 2024. 4, Front seats are so bolstered they cause my legs to fall asleep on long drives, I have to add a pillow to sit to keep this from happening - never an issue on the 2021. 5, By far, the 2021 with ultrasonic sensors did a MUCH better job of accurately displaying close objects around the vehicle, the 2024 vision only is not very accurate and actually rarely accurate or useful. Overall, it's a trade off, but the improvements in overall vehicle ride quality, fit and finish and electronics, heavy end of quarter discounts and $7500 Fed incentive made it worth trading up to 2024. ,

[@RayNLA]

Funny I have to use a foam seat pad on my 2021

[@MIKExMASSACREx]

To me the vision is incredible

[@bsd107]

I still use the ultrasonic sensors on my 2022, but I have to say that with the latest update the vision became quite impressive. The downgrade in audio quality is surprising and a BIG disappointment. The sound system on my 2022 is one of the great features of the car. I have also noticed that my Long Range feels slow off the line despite the software acceleration package. I have always wondered if this is a BS software dumbing on purpose to give more reason to buy the Performance model. Or maybe it is the fact that I have the safety feature turned on that limits acceleration if the car thinks you are in a space-limited environment?

[@gcslade]

@@bsd107 I took my 2024 in for service for the lack of instant acceleration compared to my 2021.. They say it is normal, but I still wasn't happy, so I tested the 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile specs. It met acceleration spec's, so the small lag off the line is 100% software. I wish when I upgraded to the performance boost they would have allowed it to have more "punch" off the line. Maybe it was for safety / neck injuries? The 24 model pulls really hard, once the pedal reaches a certain point, it's definitely not the instant quick linear acceleration from a start like it was in the past.

[@euphoricmonk]

@@MIKExMASSACREx said no one ever

[@LestaBull]

Thanks for uploading this video I been looking for a video just like this for weeks. Excited to pick up my new Tesla model Y in 2 days. You earned yourself a sub 👏🏾

[@EverydayChris]

Yay

[@njhbgy98]

Chris, the "smoothness" or the other "new things" you are "feeling" when you drive the car is called "the placebo effect". It's the power of suggestion complements to your brain. Geez bro. Come on. I figured you would have been intelligent enough to realize that. Oh, well. To each is own.

[@EverydayChris]

Huh?! It’s a new suspension brah

[@njhbgy98]

​@@EverydayChrisIf it's not a placebo effect, if it does indeed feel different because its a new car, then that's the reason why "it" feels "different" because its new. The new car has less ware & tare, hence it "feels different" right? That goes for anything & everything when you compare something that's new vs not new. An older car will definitely feel different than a new car. The older car has worn out suspensions vs the new car. Etc...etc...etc...just saying. Only scientifically measurable things can one say it's "officially different" because anything that involves one's "feeling" or "i think this feels softer or harder" then it becomes an opinion & the power of suggestion. Versus something measurable. Now regarding the road noise. There is no doubt the older car will have an older door rubber seal which will probably result in more noise, but that doesn't mean the older car had a poorer built quality. If you truly are going to compare a 2023 vs 2024, then get both cars with the same mileage for the sake of having a controlled variable.

[@Jethr001]

Awesome work Chris…watch all you stuff. I have a ‘22 MY and MIGHT upgrade to the Juniper performance. BUT, I really want to see some type of MX UPGRADE!! When might that happen? Tesla needs a GIANT SUV to round out the product line, no?

[@mezhnun]

Wow, impressed with how detailed you found out the differences. I traded in my 2022 Y with a 2024 7 seater. Getting it with the tax incentive and the 0.99% apr made it worth upgrading financially and for all the improvements you mentioned.

[@yenlard6683]

I wished I could have waited for 2025 Model Y but needed car quickly

[@reyakisakura3971]

You’re in Orange County.. there’s not much pot holes on the freeway plus it’s newly paved.. dry driving in LA’s free way on the 5 or 405 lol.

[@hollyboyle2391]

Everyday Chris, how tall are you? I notice while you are sitting in the driver seat your shoulders and head fit perfectly in the curves of the seat and head rest. One thing I hate is that the seats are so tall, average size or short people can’t use the head rest. Instead, their head falls back into that huge shoulder gap. Why does Musk think that all Tesla purchasers must be basketball players?

[@EverydayChris]

Haha. I’m 6 foot 3

[@johnyves1246]

My 2019 M3 is far better than the new M3 . Far superior acceleration, top speed, precision obstacles measuring, comodos for turn signals and more. Why is Tesla pretending to improve it’s models whilst they are regressing in many ways ? This really makes me angry..

[@DJA-10]

I agree! I have a 2019 M3 as well and I’m keeping it 4L!

[@ianmorrill6113]

My lease is up so I couldn’t wait for the refresh but I pick up my LR AWD Y tomorrow. Very excited coming from a passport.

[@h-e-acc]

The selling point of the Tesla: energy source: properly care and manage for for the batteries so you don’t place unnecessary stress to the batteries, the car can possibly last for 30 years provided regular maintenance that could be done DIY. Another great selling point: the teslacams. No other car provides 360 degree camera coverage, including cabin. This doesn’t even include autopilot/self-driving capabilities, and that is going to keep improving with future updates, along with other features like summon (there should be a super summon so you can send your car to pick you up from within a 30 mile radius), provided the full self driving capabilities have been perfected and using it reaches 100% safety.

[@euphoricmonk]

Super Summon is a brilliant idea. e.g. when you arrive at your home town airport and want a ride home.

[@TheYadoyo]

Front brake changed to Hitachi 2p from Brembo 4p which is another cost down by Tesla.

[@ClintandJerryTV]

Got my MY last nyte!! Black on black on black lol

[@Banana69999]

Can you recommend a charging plug for the model y that won’t let you disconnect from a non Tesla charger? Some Karen unplugged mines while it was charging

[@EverydayChris]

Check out my accessory video! It’s a charging plug adapter so that doesn’t happen my anti Karen device

[@Mark-pi7vj]

Currently an 2020 Model 3 SR. Currently waiting for the new Y. Will get a LR AWD or Performance.

[@craigwflys]

Great video. Just bought one back in May and I love it. The time was right and I didn't want to wait until the end of the year or a bit longer. Just wish the insurance wasn't so expensive. Living in So. Cal is most of the problem.

[@EverydayChris]

Agree so expensive

[@craigwflys]

Last night I went and got a quote with Tesla insurance through the app (it was easy) and it was $900 a year less than my current one (Mercury). Haven't changed yet but much better.

[@DarenYoong]

Great insights on how the Model Y is constantly improving!

[@EverydayChris]

Thanks Daren!

[@omgyeti2049]

My brother took delivery of a Long Range RWD Model Y last weekend, and it was impressive how much smoother the suspension is compared to my 2022. Also really loved how much better the camera quality was. Thought it was kinda messed up how Tesla trolled him though as far as the headlights. His has matrix headlights, but they’re not activated in the software, so he can’t even see the option to turn on the adaptive setting in his menus. They do still look nice though.

[@petarsron]

i just test drove the 2024 model Y..you can hear the tyres..very noisy but im sure when you change them it would improve the same issue i had with my 2015 subaru liberty. changed my tyres and made a huge difference. these review dudes talk shit

[@akqr8]

Great video. I'm getting the 2024 Y - it almost feels like it's a runout model due to the dropped price, and I prefer turning signal stalks!

[@julianorossi2450]

Does anyone know if the panoramic roof also has double glass in the 2024 model? I've searched for that information and found discrepant and unreliable information about that.

[@satoriflight3978]

You also get Bioweapon Defense mode, which before you didn't, it was only available on the X and S models.

[@Mark-Callis]

I just picked up a 2024 Model Y, it did not have the Matrix headlights. Is there a way to get these retrofitted from Tesla?

[@euphoricmonk]

Just bought a 2021 Y with 20" tire package for 32k out the door. That is a no brainer purchase.

[@raadal-husban654]

The ones sold in Canada (China built) have double pane glass in the rear doors! Its done since 2023

[@Resist4]

So Elon said no one used the passenger lumbar support, according to their data, so they removed it. Yet, I bet no one uses the FM radio either, but we still have it. Pretty good video, even though you got the number of windshield cameras wrong on the HW4 car, it's 2 not 3. Also, the wiper blades are not heated, it's the glass that they sit on that is heated. Still gave the video a thumbs up though.

[@EverydayChris]

Thanks man!

[@Hitman006xp]

There are only 2 front cameras in HW4... one of the three is a dummy.

[@Resist4]

I was surprised he said there were 3 cameras on the HW4 car. It's been common knowledge for a while that there are only 2 in the windshield and one is a dummy. And it's not like it's hard to tell that it's a dummy. And when he showed the camera's up close, it was not of the HW4 car.

[@PluginDuo]

Yes. The suspension is night and day! My Model Y vs my wife's is 6 months apart, unfortunately I didn't get the new suspension, or HW4

[@yenlard6683]

Still choppy…oh well. Still like the car.

[@thegxv13]

I just bought my model y 2024 and one thing I don’t like is how the wipers clean the windshield. I don’t know if it the liquid but it’s horrible

[@yenlard6683]

Not to mention coming on at random times

[@ChuckIttOut]

Yes! I think the washer fluid is too chalky!

[@clu4u]

Same here!

[@a.girl.has.no.name_]

And streaks all over the side windows!

[@jgtdragon]

Same with ours. Its a mess when using it.

[@muhammadyaqoob4923]

Please advise keeping Tesla Model Y for longer period instead of switching every 5 years?

[@EverydayChris]

Recommended for most people! No need to buy a new car so often.

[@jamessankey01]

What a great comprehensive review. Thanks!

[@PluginDuo]

Btw Chris, how is the new software update for the Active Matrix headlights working for you on your Model Y?

[@EverydayChris]

I don’t have matrix headlights ;((((

[@ioannisvasilatos53]

Congrats!! You are very helpful, many information. I need your opinion please advise , should I buy the model 3 highlander or model Y 2024? Thanks!!

[@tribalypredisposed]

Are you going to need the cargo space the Y has? If you cannot do without the cargo space, get the Y. Otherwise, Model 3 is a superior car in many ways, I guess the Y is also a bit more capable on dirt roads too, but that is it.

[@TeslaOutage]

I watched the entire video and didnt know it ended 😮

[@140Characterz]

So would you suggest I buy one with the Rizen chip? This is my biggest concern is going to the old chip and missing out on updates and all that. What do you suggest?

[@EverydayChris]

All new ones have the ryzen! And it’s insanely faster. I would not get a used one with the intel atom

[@140Characterz]

Gotcha. So 2022 and above.

[@HungrySandwitch]

Had no idea the rear headrest is adjustable.

[@vegajf51]

Your rear center headrest is adjustable also😉

[@bearlemley]

We have had our 2023 Model Yp for 13 months and my wife just found the center arm rest/ cup holder for the rear seat. We love it as it has ultra sonic sensors and stalks.

Don’t get Tesla owners, you buy a new car only to retrofit it so it’s better 😅. Things come off and get loose and still find it ok 😅 and love the brand and cars

[@neiIIism]

Easier to add things people want, thn to remove what you don't want 🤷🏾‍♂️ the minimalism of the interior is a big selling point for some, and also make them cheaper. But yeah, i do agree, alotta people add everything back in, and thn some 🤣

[@neiIIism]

And if you're thinking, why don't you just get a car that has all that stuff in it already? Because all that stuff is kinda trivial. It's really the tech people get it for (i think)

[@jeffreyblanton9877]

The model y still looks great. I still cannot stand the windshield wipers. The fluid rolls over to the side windows and the stupid boot in the back seems like a middle schooler designed it. I can’t understand why they didn’t notch out the plastic on each side to hold it in the back position. Other than those 2 things I can’t think of anything I don’t like about it.

[@lookahead279]

I wish US Govt bans the auto high beam headlights. Especially Toyota/Lexus which doesn’t work good and always irritates opposite drivers and the cars in front

[@LakhPlayz]

MagBag are too much money, its just stupid that you get a curb rash on the rim, their is camera's for a reason. it just makes me so suprised how many tesla's have curb rashes!

All Tesla's need one important item and that is 12v battery monitor. Last week a mom but baby in thr car seat walked around to get in the car and thr doors would not open the battery was dead. She called 911 the fire department arrive and broke the window. There is a video on youtube about this. It happen in Arizona.

[@ryanf1192]

actually, my 2023 July MYLR has changed all those stuff you mentioned. Not sure what is the change from 2023 July until 2024 July..

[@hewe]

Very interesting comparison. I got my 2023 Model Y at a point (Early 2023) where it still had HW3, reflector headlights and paid MSM color but nevertheless still love it!

Just picked up my 2024 Y a month ago. AWD LR. Only the usb-c in the glovebox supports data, all four others are power only.

[@craigwflys]

Me too however the USB in my glove box is the standard USB-A.

[@donnguyen4284]

Yeah that was another different between 21&24. 2021 Y has two data usb-a

[@OnWisconsin33]

Premium Connectivity for $99 per year includes everything I'd either Bluetooth or hardwire into the "theater." I just found out the other night that I can push the right steering wheel (voice command) ball and ask for specific songs from Tesla's own library and 75% of the time, I get the right song and the right artist. 20% of the time, I get the right artist (the song is probably not in the library) and the other 5% of the time, I just try again. It's truly amazing and Tesla should advertise it.

[@GeneCain-l6q]

Great review Chris

[@Luca.121]

20:22 I don't understand. My brand new 3-week-old Model Y comes with all the upgrades you just mentioned except the parcel shelf? Why??

[@calvinseah722]

Question is no one knows when juniper will be out

[@sidzhottake]

Hey Chris - so just to be clear... If i got a white Model Y and with the money that I saved on getting it in white, I would wrap it black but whenever a door is opened, white would be visible? I always wondered about if this would look as bad as it sounds in my head because of the color contrast...

[@EverydayChris]

Correct can’t tell though u less you open the doors

[@sidzhottake]

@@EverydayChris Gotcha! Love this style of comparing videos side by side!

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Do you drive around with your doors open quite a bit?

[@OnWisconsin33]

Wraps MAY have been worth the money when Teslas were prohibitively expensive. Who, except the ultra-paranoid, wraps a sub-$40k (after tax credit) car, unless they're a paid spokesperson?

[@markdc1145]

Tesla colors are extremely boring but the Quicksilver is nice. I hope they will offer it on the base model soon.

[@PhilipCaskey]

Hi Chris, the backup lights in my Y 2021 are pretty dim. Were they improved in the 2024? Thanks!

[@RoguePC4U]

Add Gigacastings to the list. In 2021 they only had the rear (and in 2 pieces). By 2024 the Y has moved to a one piece front and rear frame casting.

[@personyt55]

Short answer: if you like the stalks and fog lights buy a 2024 model y.

[@Clarioner1]

Those rum protectors will be trashed when you get the tyre replaced - they will be destroyed by the machine that removes the tyres.

Model Y owners…is the car small inside? I want to get rid of my grand Cherokee. I know the y is smaller but is it really a lot smaller??? I really want the model x but can’t justify the price considering I work from home.

[@sivanm2130]

It’s a spacious car with lots of storage. But the rear roof line is sloped, so getting a bike in is not easy. But we have a hitch carrier for that.

[@tinycmo]

The Y feels spacious. And that's coming from a nissan armada

[@jordanpack5571]

It’s cavernous, I love it

[@dvader3263]

2024 Grand Cherokee cargo volume- 70.8 cubic feet. Tesla Model Y cargo volume- 72.0 cubic feet. Plus 4 cubic foot frunk. 76 cubic ft. total. Get a Model Y with a trailer hitch. It's great for attaching a cargo carrier, bike rack or for towing a utility trailer around town.

[@craigwflys]

A lot of room in the back seats. Plenty of head room too.

[@PhoenixSS]

Nah I not get these

[@foxyawayfox8547]

Here in Western Australia I see more of the model 3 on the roads daily than a model Y

If the roof is an inch higher…does it have an inch more ground clearance? That would be nice if it does. I have one on order already, waiting waiting waiting.

[@carternll]

Matrix has been a thing for a while.. not new to 2024.

[@NyBasim91]

One big thing change since the removal of the ultrasonic sensors, many features have been removed. Such as smart summon and some safety features such as automatic lane change and brake assist. Its crazy how they dont really announce this. So safety freature wise the 2021-22 dominates.

[@JoeCool-l7h]

That is not correct. Summon and auto lane change are only available if the FSD option is purchased. They were not “removed”. Not sure exactly what you mean by “brake assist” but if you mean AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) that is a standard feature on all Teslas. It is not part of FSD, it’s standard. If you mean “Brake Hold” (after pressing the brake pedal to bring the car to a stop you can release the pedal and the brakes stay engaged) that is also standard.

[@Star_Gazyer]

[@brandonn161]

I got my 24 MY LW AWD last month, and when I got it, the EPA was showing 310 lol. Guess they updated it again right after I got mine. As for the suspension, I noticed it right away compare to my 21 M3 SR+. Was a bit surprised to be honest.

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah crazy

[@albertcwong]

This is such a good comparison format. So thorough and easy to understand objective and subjective thoughts by demoing in both cars
