Road testing the NEW Tesla Model Y | Your questions answered!

[@3067jon]

Great presenting style - answering the important questions and having a lot of fun on the way! Love this channel.

[@BuckFush08]

Great, informative review! We've had our Model Y performance for two months now, and it's absolutely the nicest car i've owned! The fact that it does over the air updates means that even after you've purchased the car, the car keeps getting better and better! The blind spot monitoring feature demo'd in this review, my car didn't initially have it. About two weeks after we purchased the car, an OTA update added that great feature! We've also had a feature which turn on heat seats automatically (if you choose) whenever the heater is turned on, and sets it to the same setting as the heater...if the heater is on high, seat warmer will be set to high, etc. Again, another feature added after we took delivery! They also added additional video services you can watch while in the car, so now it has Tic Tok, Disney +, KZbin, plus several other services! Sonic the Hedgehog was also added. Great car! My wife finds herself going to pick our daughter up early, just so she can sit in the car and watch videos , play video games or whatever, while waiting for our daughter to get out of school!

[@neptunejupitersaturn]

I’ve seen quite a few Model Y reviews, this is one of the best! Need to get you to do more of these!

[@johnmcnulty6171]

Brilliant review Eilis. I learned more about the Model Y than any other I've seen. This format rocks, and you delivered with a confidence, energy and enthusiasm that really made it pop 👍

At the moment you can use the voice command for your climate settings, audio, glove box and lots more.

Great video. Will get my Model Y on next tuesday. Greetings from germany

[@davidloi7777]

Lovely review! I'd like to point out that the performance wheels are 21" and that the Model Y also has the Bioweapon Defense Mode HEPA filter that the Model 3 does not.

[@Ads.D]

Really enjoying this style of review videos, light & entertaining but still informative 👍 Loved the getting in the boot & froot 😂 Thanks Eilis for answering my question - v interesting to hear how they do things 🤔

[@Porkonfork]

Great review, both yourself and team presented all areas in good timing and camera angles. For example l didn’t know how low the rear windows would go until you sat in the rear seat and explained window thickness. Cheers

[@markymarkreviews]

Another fantastic & informative video. You are Ace-ing the classical car review with this Q & A format. Great presenting and great video work & editing.

[@arnoldpinklesweet3296]

Good review thanks. My wife and I just ordered one three days ago. We test drove the Y a couple of months back and some other EVs and hybrids. Nothing compared to the Y. Loads of room for my long legs and my tall daughters and 2 dogs. I love the fact that it didn't feel like any other car. The white interior adds to this feeling of driving a spaceship. One thing we were caught out on (and this I guess is our fault for not researching better) the cost of installing the home charger. It's £425 itself and approx £1000 to get it installed. Plus a major ballache answering all the questions from the certified installer on our electrical system in our house. But, you live and learn and we are the first in our family to go EV so at least we can advise friends and family if they decide to go down this route. It's safe to say my wife and I are excited to get this car, going to fill the next 3-4 months watching review videos like this! Oh, and one last thing the reviewer said youw ould be the coolest mum on the school run.... When we told our 13 year old daughters we had ordered a Tesla they were mortified. Apparently it will be embarrassing to be picked up and dropped off. So school bus it is for them then!

[@gordon4385]

You really don't need the home charger: the mobile charger (which used to be included) only costs $250 and is only a bit slower than the wall-mounted one.

[@JanneWolterbeek]

One of the best EVs out there, imho. And again, my compliments on an excellent review and fantastic production value of the team!

[@maxgreece1]

Just a quick heads up. The lack of buttons is a pain, but, the voice control is amazing. I can never remember where anything is on the centre screen but I tell the car what I want and it does it, every time. Its the best voice control out there AFAIK.

[@welfiblablabla]

I've had my Model Y for 3 weeks now and I don't get everyone complaining about climate controls on the touchscreen. I've had that climate menu up 2 times since delivery: the first day to set everything to automatic (including heated seats) + initial airflow setup and the second time to activate heated stearing wheel on a very cold days where I forgot to preheat the cabin. For the rest it is enough to just slightly increase or decrease temp. without opening the tab Btw: great video, little doggy 😅

[@joey-pn3xe]

How’s the ride? I tested one with the large wheels and it was as rough as a horse but would like to know what it’s like on the regular 19” wheels

[@welfiblablabla]

@@joey-pn3xe Yes, when I went for a test drive it also had the 20" wheels and it is uncomfortably firm, to the point were every little bump or road imperfection goes right into your spine. I got the 19" on mine and it is still firm but, like acceptably firm and sporty. It is still not as comfortable as an Ioniq 5 or EV6 or ID.4.

[@joey-pn3xe]

@@welfiblablabla thanks for the reply. I ended up ordering the new Lexus NX phev. Maybe by the time that lease is up, there’ll be more options for comfy premium electric cars.

[@welfiblablabla]

@@joey-pn3xe if price is not a problem, there are already comfy, premium alternatives 😉

[@dyemanoz]

Regarding climate coltrols while driving: Don't forget you can use voice commands - e.g. if you're feeling cold, say "I'm cold" and the car will increas interior temp by 1.5 degrees C. Same idea for "I'm hot". Just press the right scroll wheel to activate voice commands.

[@1simontebbutt]

Pick mine up in a couple of weeks and have two big labradors, so good to hear / see the dog Q answer 👌

[@lukiejames]

I watch because I love the videos and content but I also find it so refreshing having funny, confident, intelligent and knowledgeable ladies showing off the cars and what they can do! So many KZbin channels are missing female perspective on cars and I just love that this channel ticks this box. Many many years ago I only watched fifth gear because of Vicki Henderson. We can never have too many female car journalists. Congrats to the team for always putting out amazing videos.

[@Electroheads]

Wow thank you for the kind words! And thanks for supporting the channel

[@JonathanPalfrey]

Test drove the model Y today. I really like the upgrades over my model 3 however it did feel less agile and noticeably bigger, I really didn't like the smaller wing mirrors either. I think if you really need the extra leg room and big boot then it's worth it otherwise I'd say the model 3 is a better option.

[@bigquinny32]

Great video. Can't wait to get mine in May in Grey, white interior and black wheels 🤪

[@ram-ck7ti]

Great review with 2 minor corrections: Tesla's claimed range is often more then actual user's experience AND Tesla does NOT have bi-directional power ports. It has always seemed silly to me to charge your car for next day use and then end up dumping the charge into your house??? IMHO

[@alcorpage]

I've sold back to Porsche my Taycan Cross Turismo 4S and have bought a Tesla Model Y. Change over next Monday. I loved the Porsche but too many software updates & malfunctions of the software necessitating a full day "wasted" and a 100+ mile round trip to the dealer were the killer. What I'll miss most is my "head-up" display.

[@voxtek]

It absolutely feels special, I had to drop mine off after only having it for 2 weeks, as they wanted to check a sensor. Im now stuck with a Hyundai Sonata because they ran out of loaners. And I'm hating every second of it lol.

I test drove the Y recently and decided to switch from the 3LR as I preferred the higher driving position and roomier cabin.

[@danpaul4975]

Good video, Just an FYI the super charger you visited was a V2 not a V3, the V3 superchargers are only CCS. V2 supercharger has a custom type 2 charger and a CCS only supporting upto 150kw, V3 supercharger support upto 250kw through CCS only.

[@aaravshah2288]

Great video! I think the Kia EV6 is its main rival, and with the supercharger network opening up, that is much better value. Also many people charge at home so public charging does not matter as much.

Today I spotted a 22 plate Tesla Model Y that's the first 22 plate car I saw and it's a Model Y well right now there's just a bunch of 21 plate model 3's (I see more new cars than old cars Teslas and other cars I see the new ones it's rare to see an old Tesla or an old car) so later this year there will probably be a bunch of model Y's and next year there will be loads on the roads.

[@wheelieblind]

It is neat to see the stearing wheel on the wrong side.

[@jericoba]

The instrument-cluster - screen - in-front-of-you issue. It's all down to Tesla's design language for the Model 3. If you want a second screen in front, there is the Model S and Model X. There won't be a screen in Model 3 or Y because, and that's not all due to autonomy, it's a minimalistic design choice. Tesla wasn't the first to have a centered screen for relevant driving data though, they just took it further with that big one do-everything-screen. So, you don't really need a second screen like in the other models. If you just want to, well that's a different thing.

[@theta2170]

Standard Range desperately needed for UK market. It's just too expensive currently. Hopefully we'll see SR appear when Berlin production starts. That boot size is the dream of anyone with a young family.

[@Nick_Smith1970]

Super review!! I was a huge Tesla fan for years, as I love the tech, until other makers started to make EVs. I'm a BMW owner, and have just discovered the i4 edrive40. I prefer some buttons, and a more familiar feel to a car, rather than feeling like I'm in a scandanavian space ship. In my humble opinion, the i4 has more range, looks better, inside & out, handles like a proper sports car, and you can still fit the family & luggage in too. Charges up to 205kw, so like the Y, 80% arrives in 30 mins or so. Plus, my wife hates the look of Teslas 🤣. So, i4 it is then. 😁

[@Clim0711]

How good is the actual range?

Isn’t the I4 more expensive and smaller?

Enjoyed the road test. Still can't appreciate the looks of a vehicle that has the design of a jelly mould and over the years that aspect of Tesla hasn't diminished.

When you look at the total cost it’s a lot, when you look at a 10 year life it’s great value as you have minimal servicing costs, massive savings on fuel and no road tax it makes excellent financial sense over the long term.

Regarding the price, you forgot that the demand is higher than the supply. When production ramps up, prices will go down.

[@danpaul4975]

No it won't. Why would they pass on savings to customers when customers are so willing to pay as much as they are?

[@jonathanf.9395]

@Dan Paul It's the basic forces of supply/demand. I don't need to spend my time explaining it to you here. Look it up. But for this current situation, right now, they are making very few Y's and they can apply whatever pricing they want for those who will pay a premium. If they lowered pricing now, the only thing they'd do is make the waiting list longer because they can't make them fast enough. Talk to me when they are making 10X as many each month and those who were willing to pay that price already have their cars, and the waiting list for one is no longer 6 months to a year.

[@hawkusmctalkus]

🤦‍♂️

[@ISuperTed]

Long-term they definitely will, either by not increasing so effectively going down due to inflation or by supply/demand being more in balance. I thought seriously about getting one as my company car but £55K plus is too much currently so went for something else. Still watching Model Y videos though!
