Finally Answered! Is 2024 Tesla Model Y LR RWD All You Need Or Get AWD Instead?

[@calmplex7]

a lot of roads in SFV suck! good to see someone local!

[@robertlmoon]

I had a 2024 Model Y RWD and initially had some echoing. Solved it by buying the parcel shelf accessory for the hatch. Made the audio system sound a bit better as well. I think the parcel shelf bounces the sound better and prevents hatch area sound from coming into the cabin.

This is good to know. Thanks for sharing

[@podometic]

​@@100miledriveThat much money and you don't get a parcel shelf or a charging cable? That's rubbish.

[@menglin9037]

Just got it last month. Love it! I feel connected with the car. It is really fun to drive

Im testing the model y rwd and performance for 2 days. The performance has a humming noise and lots of torque. The rwd, I don't really notice it. When accelerating around corners in the rwd it fish tails. Fsd is incredible. It parks itself with no problem.

[@100miledrive]

Nice. Looks like you are ready to pull the trigger. From my experience as build quality not 100% in Tesla you will see slight issues with some. This last car I rented was nearly perfect

[@NewYorksFinest1]

@100miledrive I have to return it today. I'ma wait until December to see if they will have better Tesla deals and incentives

[@alexbrunner_Tucker_USA]

A month and a half ago, I purchased an Ultra Red MY LR AWD with white 7 seats. Love it. Now my wife wants to get a Y LR RWD to replace her 2015 Ford Flex, because the lease for an in-stock is less than $200 per month! While I have a 64-mile round-trip commute in the Front Range of Colorado and need AWD, she may drive 20 miles a day tops. If it’s snowing out, most likely school is delayed/canceled and she doesn’t need to drive in bad weather.

[@ousiosaeturn3559]

The long range rwd new epa results came in and it is now rated at 337 mile range

[@moshez-nt2jo]

hi nice review- what would you buy model 3 new 2024 or model y 2024 (cant wait for the juniper )? which one more fun to drive

[@100miledrive]

Hi there, thanks a lot for the feedback. I am a fan of Model 3. I think it’s the best balanced EV on the market in this segment. I am also very curious what changes they make in the Juniper, because in terms of current gen Model Y it is not even close to Model 3 in terms of premium feel and fun factor

[@jackgreenstalk777]

Wouldve liked to see some kind of table. Showing current costs, ranges and specs of models you compared

[@100miledrive]

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I had a table in my earlier videos measuring driving satisfaction. Might implement this in the future

[@rickquinn1025]

So, based on this... Do you go for the Model Y as it is today or wait on the Juniper refresh? In the process of (likely) getting the MYLR AWD.

[@100miledrive]

Hey there, thanks for the comment. That is the next video I am planning to release. In short if you care about having a more polished version of Model Y with the exception of loosing stalks, then wait for the Juniper, but if getting Fed rebate and special financing is important then you can get the current version. Maybe deals will be availabe with Juniper release as well, but not sure when they decide to cut that

[@jeffhanson8216]

I live in Colorado and I just got a AWD LR Model 3 at 0% interest and am loving the refresh features. Anyone looking to buy a Tesla before the incentives potentially go away, mine is in my KZbin bio!

[@voldar70]

Always AWD for : - better handling in winter time - better acceleration - better at towing - better sound system

[@100miledrive]

Thanks for sharing

[@Yokazz]

Sound system is not true my friend. All Model Y has same Premium Soundsystem.

[@MrGiovannibayolo]

@@Yokazznot true anymore. 24 RWD downgraded audio system unfortunately. Look at details on website

[@Yokazz]

@ if so then that sucks very hard

[@gileneusz]

I'm about to buy TMY AWD but suspension is the main thing that turns me off into TM3... Everything else seems perfect...

[@100miledrive]

Maybe you should wait for the Juniper refresh. I like Model 3 over Y hands down. But I hope Juniper brings more refinemnent we are all waiting for

[@cecekeepingitreal3531]

Why do allbyall say all those gaps are fine. I have a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq EV and I have no gaping. That’s just crazy to me smh 😅

[@100miledrive]

Yeah, this is the Tesla way. Basically people fall in love with Tesla experience and basic car manufacturing flaws become 2nd nature.

[@SubZero-qn3tx]

I think you are wrong with the 0-60 it's should be 5.9seconds and not 6.5 seconds what you are telling. Standard range is 6.9seconds LR RWD is 5.9 seconds LR AWD is 5.0 seconds Performance is 3.7 seconds

[@100miledrive]

Not sure where you got this info from. If you go to tesla.com for US and choose order Model Y, you will see that Long Range Model Y RWD is 6.5 sec 0-60. AWD is 4.8 sec. Maybe yours is European numbers?

[@M27-f4f]

No. He’s right. The Model y rwd long range does 0-60 in 6.5sec. I’m not sure why it’s over 1.5sec slower than the dual motor. They both should share the same battery.

[@SubZero-qn3tx]

@@M27-f4f I drive the Model Y RWD long range and it's realt 5.9. even the Telsa website says it.

[@bertos4270]

You pay for a premium price, why do you have to deal with panel gaps, other dealerships have better quality

[@LeMAD22]

Better quality car overall. Teslas have the lowest maintenance/repairs costs of all manufacturers, while the engine and batteries are extremely reliable, and likely to last 300K miles.

[@100miledrive]

😀 Since Tesla is still new in the game it is still accepted. If you buy Tesla for the build quality then there are better other options, however if you want Tesla experience with all the tech, then some basic car problems is something you may encounter.

[@gregpapuga9288]

AWD - 100%

[@100miledrive]

Thanks for the feedback

[@nb6525]

What a waste. Almost entire length of the video, you talked about everything else but main topic. It seemed like you would get to the point in last 2 minutes, but you were wrong there. LR RWD, LR AWD (single motor) and Performance (dual motor) are 3 different trims. Titles says RWD vs AWD, then you compared RWD to Performance 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@celtics2008champs1]

Improve the ride quality in Model Y.....HOW ABOUT IMPROVEMENT THE STUPID QUALITY OF THE ROADS YOU ARE FREAKIN' DRIVING ON! They are terrible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@100miledrive]

Well cannot disagree with that and if I had a political channel I would certainly talk about roads in LA. But what I am trying to say here is that even firmer cars have ways to absorb bumps n more premium way by having a gliding motion and that is what makes a car feel premium. Model Y is certainly lacking such refinement which I am almost certain we will see in new Model Y Juniper
