Tesla Model Y - 40k Mile Review

[@jmattos]

Wow. I've had mine since June 25th, 2020 and I have 13000 miles.. and I thought I drove a lot! I guess not from the comments here! I switched to Progressive when I got my Tesla Model Y Stealth Performance (RIP on that trim) and I spend LESS than I did with my old company for my CHEVY (expletive) VOLT. In fact, I save so much less, that the NET price of "Payment + Insurance" is lower for my Tesla. Good advice to shop around.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Wow, that’s impressive. Thanks for sharing

[@sleepininicetrell]

Got my VIN Wednesday, just checked how my current insurance would be affected and geico was gonna have me go up $105/mo. Compared to progressive and joint would go down $45/mo. Looks like Progressive’s getting a new customer very soon. Spot on take

We have a Y with 17.6k miles on it, being driven since early June of 2020 (so we are clearly rank amateurs compared to you’all). Our car is in the 6000 VIN series, one of the very first after the factory reopening it seems, and one of the very first in our area (Greater NYC). (Interestingly, no panel gap or other issues, other than one dangling electrical connection that mobile service took care of, and so I suspect that Y problems are more of a KZbin phenomenon than real-world one. (Of course, yours was SO early that the issues were undoubtedly/understandably real.)) Lately it has been charging to 310 at home when we charge for a “Trip”, or 98% of the original EPA range. If the fastest drop in range is truly near the beginning, then I will consider that result “stupid-good”!!

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

That is fantastic results for 17k miles! I know that Tesla, at least in my opinion, really sorted out almost all of the quality issues by fall of 2020. The second batch of cars were better than first, 3rd better than second and on and on.

In my experience, my car insurance went down when I traded in cars. I have an 18 accord, full coverage. Premium was around $550 for 6 months. When I got the model why, insurance went down to $320 for six months. Deductible at $1000. Now I switched to a $250 deductible and pay $460. Still cheaper than accord. I have insurance thru Costco. I recommend!

[@dmccalldds]

Great info, and I really appreciate your spending the time to share all of this with us. I’m surprised there wasn’t a plea to put a section PPF on the car ASAP after delivery.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

I drove the new one like 30 miles total until the PPF was on

[@thomasjacques5286]

Using your formula my usable range came to 284 miles. My Y was built on July 12th 2020. Great info, I have 81xx miles on our Y, so you have driven your Y what I’ll drive in almost 4 years. Our Y looks and feels like brand new and with all the OTA updates plus the Performance Boost Upgrade we bought our Y is vastly better than the day we drove it off the lot. I may subscribe to FSD on our next road trip just to see if that’s something we really need over basic AutoPilot which we use all the time and love. Our Service Center is 44 miles away, they have been marvelous, but when traveling there are HUGE gaps of several hundred miles of no coverage. Tesla needs MORE service centers. And I agree with your comments on Tesla’s implementation of Blind Spot Monitoring. They should offer Auto Lane Change in basic Auto Pilot.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

It’s such a great car, as you experience yourself. It’s ok to call it a fantastic car and still say it could be better. I love this car and it sounds like you do too. Thanks for sharing

Good review. I have had my Model Y for 1 month and so far so good. I brought an extensive list of things to check for at delivery and couldn't find any issues and have not had to go to a SC thankfully. Agree on the blind spot. Manageable but previous car had the LED in mirror which was helpful.

[@jmattos]

Im with you on loving the Model Y, but I'd agree about the blind spot (I use auto lane change when I can so I don't need to worry about it) , and I added a small triangular blind spot mirror which REALLY helps. Im now in the habit of checking the screen to look for cars... and then checking the mirror and blind spot mirror.. they can do better. ALSO, its REALLY frustrating that there is no cross-traffic warning when you're backing out of spot. my Volt had that.. and my wife's Hyundai has one that works REALLY well

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Yea, it’s a couple things that the car is already doing in the background, just need it more convenient

[@DaveQZ85]

Not feeling worn out with AP is basically that. We’ve gotten so used to manual driving and we have nothing to compare it to so we don’t realize just how much mental energy we actually spend on the task of driving. Keeping centered, constant speed, constant tabs on other cars. Just knowing the car will keep centered and for the most part, avoid other cars is a huge mental load off.

In regards to the insurance, it's also dependent on the driver's history and location. Progressive was *slightly* cheaper than Geico (-$100) but now our Progressive dropped another $300 (six months premiums) and I'm in the DFW area in Texas.

EVs are the future

[@BaconatorJames]

With the 'Routine Maintenance' gospel applied to most new vehicles (and in some cases, required to retain the warranty), I've spent way too much on my ICE cars in the last 10 yrs (2015 Honda Fit, 2016 Subaru WRX). Some items on these routine maintenance lists are valid of course, change the oil, filter, check the brakes, rotate the tires - but it's getting almost predatory. My Subaru, currently @ 83k kms, will need a $1200 CDN routine service done before it hits 100k. I'll remember this when I invest in a Tesla. Since my brother & parents & I put 220,000 kms on a new 1995 Honda Accord & drove it for 7 yrs, parked outside in Canadian winter - and didn't have ONE SINGLE PROBLEM, I think car makers need to stand by their products more. If sensors or a transmission or even an air conditioner condensing unit die within, say, the first 6 yrs - they should fix it free, apologetically. It's their product. The fact consumers are being slowly bilked throughout their car ownership, is one of the reasons I want to move over to electric. Sure, there are too many maintenance appointments with early-run VIN's, but what you should get is a "don't worry, we'll fix this, here's a loaner in the meantime". I get with a ICE car that a timing chain needs to be replaced/adjusted at some point, there are things out of the car makers' hands, but it's time to put the costly, complex, messy, noisy, underpowered IC engines to rest. EVs are such a huge leap forward.

Have had it happen with on clear days with no traffic, no bridges or anything. Are there settings to improve or could there be an issue with my cameras?

It is recommended that you only charge the battery up to 80% Apart from a specific type of batteries and you should not use fast chargers often. If you follow these tips, the battery will last a long time. I think most people want you to charge the car at home

I charge at home daily. Its better for the battery health for sure. But I also road trip A LOT and supercharge quite a bit.

It’s almost infinite Quintin. They go and go.

They really do go for a long time. Its really a matter of how much the battery can deplete over a long period of time. At some point, in the hundreds of thousands, you'd start to loose too much capacity in the batteries that it would need to be replaced. These cars are so simple compared to the thousands of moving parts in a traditional gas powered car.

Supercharging was at least 95% on road trips. I didn’t use super chargers when at home or local except a time or 2. Free charging at work was more than 90% of our other charging. We only plug in at home very infrequently.

[@rzu7120]

Some people have noticed a degradation in autopilot performance since Tesla removed the radar sensors from the car, now relying solely on cameras. Also, has the lack of a sunroof sunshade been an issue in the summer sun?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Autopilot seems very similar so far, but for the sun, we have a temporary shade we cary with us and deploy as needed.

[@JevVan]

Hey, on the blind spots I have my own theory on how the UI should look that would be a huge help for this. So when you push the camera button and it brings up The view with the rear camera on top and the two repeater cameras below. I would like to see that exact view with the map on top and the two repeater cameras below as my primary driving mode. I don't know how to get this suggestion to Tesla but maybe it's something you can pass off to them. My other vehicles at 3/4 ton pickup truck and I never turn around to look over my shoulder because I have blind spot mirrors. Putting those repeater cameras on the screen full time would serve the same purpose and makes driving that much easier. As it is now, I just saw back and forth between the map and the cameras depending on my needs at the moment. But it sure would be great to be able to see it all at once.

[@lagunamusic7686]

It’s not battery degradation, the computer calculates your estimated range based off your driving style and other factors like climate. Quote from my friend who’s a mechanic for Tesla. “That’s perfectly normal. The range is calculated using a lot of different information, primarily driving habits but also a/c usage, ambient temp etc.. it’s just an estimate.”

On insurance, here in Florida, we're on Progressive and we're moving from a Volvo XC40 to a Y LR. Our 6-month premium is going up by $150 (perfect driving records, etc.). On accessories, the "Tesla tax" is in full effect on the costs, plus weeding through the junk vs quality items is difficult. We're going to try to keep it simple :) On visibility aids, the blind spot system and the lack of front cameras and a 360 degree view option is something we're going to sorely miss from our Volvo.

It sounds like you have a great experience with autopilot. No phantom braking?

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

Very rarely

[@ClintonWeiss]

Interesting you mentioned the blind spot detection. Is the screen/cameras really that unreliable for seeing the cars in your blind spots? I've been driving cars with blind spot detection on the mirrors for several years now and I still swivel my head to check those spots on a lane change. Only time I notice the light on the mirror is when it is raining and giving me numerous false positives.

[@raaedchhapra2991]

It’s not unreliable, it’s just not as convenient as having them on the side view mirror.

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

The car sees whats around it all over, but it doesnt display it on the screen all the time.

at 7:19 im wondering if youre going to talk about savings from no oil changes and changing brakes at 50k

[@BeardedTeslaGuy]

No, didn’t add that in because I’d be blasted for it. Don’t worry, the nail in the coffin is when I show you how much we sold it for, or how much it cost us to own it for 39k miles

Okay numbers guy!!! Just got subscription option offer for $199 month!?? What should we do?? Please do a video

[@sludog]

My money says the bearded one declines $199 per month unless he can turn on and off for road trips. If Tesla really wants more money then bring back enhanced auto pilot for $4k. I would be first in line for that one.

I saw the $2.50 a gallon and i laughed cause here where i live in cali is average $3.88 and where my friend lives in irvine is $4.33 its ridiculous

Yea it’s in the low $3’s here but no matter how much you sunshine the numbers in comparison people always complain that I make the Tesla sound better than it is.

[@wetzel82]

@@BeardedTeslaGuy ofc ofc and I understood exaclty why you made it the price you did for the example. Because people will try to make any excuse. And while I will admit teslas have a high upfront cost. The quality of the car you are getting as well as the cost you will save on. There’s no other way to go.

liability limits are like 100k/300k and $500 deductible on everything.

Hopefully someone makes third party blind spot mirror replacements soon. This is a big safety issue that, I believe Tesla is missing.

[@maddyma4293]

Model Y not worth the price. 1. No Android Auto / Carplay integration, 2: No sunshade for the roof, 3: Issues with fit and finish, 4: No blind spot warning (Talk about Technologically advanced car...need to fix the basics first before selling a pipedream of full self driving capability). And now that Tesla is opening up its charger network, you can buy any EV you want....and yes, some are better value (and build) than a Tesla....VW ID4 is one such vehicle..with plenty of EVs coming to the market. Tesla needs to step-up its game.
