Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y a BETTER performance SUV than a Mustang Mach-E GT?

[@Neubs-xv8tw]

My mom bought one after driving my Model 3, she absolutely loves it. Her good friend also just bought one after driving hers and there other friend just ordered one as well. These things sell themselves, no need for advertising, there is like a 8 month wait on these if you ordered today, thats how large demand it. It does so many things well, the ultimate daily driver imo, not to mention the lack of maintenance costs and gas savings over the lifetime of the car. I've had my model 3 for 3 years now, I drive 100 miles or so a day for work, only thing I've done is change the tires once, autopilot for long drives is a game changer and it still drives like the day I drove it off the Tesla lot.

The acceleration NEVER gets old. I bought this one Joe. Daily drive from Daytona to Orlando everyday and love it. Charge at home. $15 a week in electric for 500 miles and that’s why I bought one.

@@pdboomin2 When you but from Tesla, you are buying directly from the manufacturer, no middle man involved. No mark up as supposed to other automakers who have to sell to a dealer which in turn sales it to the consumer with a markup. Rivian and Lucid motors are doing the same thing. Direct sales. However, in some States the law prohibits direct sales because it hurts the dealerships since they can't make money on the transaction. I think Ford eventually is going to fight to be able to sell directly to the consumer. That will help Ford to be even more competitive against those who have the upper hand by cutting out the middle man.

So as a Tesla model y owner with acceleration boost upgrade. It makes a great daily driver. Probably the best, because it is great at merging in with traffic and getting around slower cars. Also driving back and forth to work, I prefer serenity. Now as a week toy, not as good, because you missed the noise and drama. I couldn’t afford a weekend toy anyway. No oil changes or scheduled maintenance, so huge savings in that department. I charge at home. With my previous vehicle, fillip every two days, $45, now with charging from home, $12 dollars ever two day. The key is the ability to charge from home.

Like Apple, Tesla has this sort of annoying following that worships their CEO. I liked Apple but the fans of the brand were truly annoying and rather elitist. Straight talk, here. Apple Macs were good and iPods and usually of high quality but at some point, they fell behind Windows in terms of multitasking and such and Apple didn't clone and such. Apple lost market share. And in some aspects, the iPhone fell behind Android. Tesla fans would do way better to say we make our type of cars and the competitors make cars that are quite good too, but we're more tech focused. Leave it at that. All of this "kills the competition" talk first of all is not true, there are competitive EVs coming out as EVs still go beyond just the tech aspects, and you can be competitive while acknowledging others do well also. That's my advice to Tesla fans. Just chill out some. Also Elon is not a God. He's a CEO. He's a good one. But like Steve Jobs, he's a charismatic CEO and a really rich man.

[@defmode11]

I appreciate the review. But I have to mention the following. 1.) The Tesla Model Y does not cost $75k. As I type this, the vehicle you are driving (as optioned) is available for $64k via Tesla. The dealership you are at is trying to sell it at $75k I suspect. Tesla sells directly to the consumer, no endless hours of price negotiating at a dealership. 2.) The Model Y Performance has an EPA rated 303 miles of range. With any vehicle, gas or electric, spirited driving will obviously bring that range down. 3.) Most don’t know that the reason the door handles are flush with the body is to maximize aerodynamics and drag coefficiency. Exposed handles can subtract ≈ 3% of range. 4.) The specific model you showcased has an integrated tow hitch behind the plastic cover. The Model Y can tow up to 3,500 lbs. I have to agree with you about the fit and finish. At a $64k price point, everything about the vehicle should be flawless! It doesn’t even come with an automatic garage door opener! WTF!? Design aesthetics is where things start to get subjective. Some motorists prefer a minimalistic approach and others prefer to feel like they are in a cockpit surrounded by a thousand buttons when in reality they will only be using seven of them.

I've taken multiple 2,000+ mile trips and having a reliable charging Network is such a piece of mind. Pulling to a Supercharger at 3am on a 27+ hour trip knowing how many chargers are working and available even before you get to the Supercharger makes me feel great about the choice I made when deciding to buy my EV. The charging Network, autopilot, OTAs, brand recognition, the direct sales model, Mobil Service, were some of the reasons I decided to purchase a Tesla over other brands.

Tesla has their own charging network, that's not the same compared with the other brand EVs (like Mach-e for instance). But that's only if you must charge on the go, most EV owners charge at home at night, while they sleep. That's almost like your smartphone, except you don't need to charge the car every night. The range being over 300 miles, it's enough to charge once a week. It's incredibly convenient and extremely cheap (about 3 cents per mile, depending on your electricity price). It is only complicated if you live in an apartment where you can't charge overnight, so you might need to charge weekly at a supercharger (but they are everywhere nowadays). Also, a lot of malls have now chargers in the parking lot, so you can charge while you shop. You are right about the finish, though, I hope they can make it better. They keep alluding at this new factory in Texas that they're gonna build a new kind of paint shop.. Will see when it's done, but I won't get my hopes up. The best deal is still the cheapest Tesla at 42k, that Model 3 SR+ is selling like hotcakes.

[@vegetarianbacon718]

I don't think it looks too bad but the Model S/X front on this would be better

[@pauldoodnath]

@@copytan2395 Yeah, most ev's look odd like somethings missing, whether that's me not being used to seeing vehicles without grilles I'll let you decide and some grille designs are a part of a brand's identity like bmw's kidneys and audi's singleframe so it's nice to see those still around even if they're simulated

[@digitaldoc100]

More like an "ON VOLTAGE" than an "ON THROTTLE!"

[@Arnold001-1]

That’s why you don’t pay $75k for it. You wait a year or 2 and get a used performance Y for $40k 😉

[@michaelm5314]

I love your vibe and energy brother. I even watch your videos on cars I have no interest in just to see what your jamming in the door pocket.

[@muriloninja]

A little more research on Tesla would have been ideal. That is a Model Y Performance, the underscore in the "Dual Motor" badge, the wheels, and the spoiler give that away. It's insanely fast!

[@olternaut]

It doesn't need a grille. But what would be cool as a replacement for a grille would be forward sensor array. I'm not talking about just a camera I mean a full sensor suite! Knight Rider baby!

[@RaitisRides]

I used to love watching Knight Rider!

[@cobrachannel100]

no grill! But X and S have a nicer front. They should have offered the same design for 3/Y IMHO.

[@RichDunn]

Mustang GT is $60k. Model Y Performance is $57k. So the Ford doesn't 'drastically' undercut the Tesla IMPO. '$75k' is way off - even with (not yet available) 'future' self-driving option!

[@erikiversen408]

Time will tell, but I think other mfr's will bite into Tesla's dominance in the EV market just because they make their interiors a lot more luxurious looking. Personally, if I'm going to be spending that kind of money for a vehicle I want it to look like I bought an expensive car on the interior. Case in point; look at the new Cadillac Lyriq. Holy crap! That is a very beautiful EV vehicle not only on the exterior, but especially on the interior. You sit in one of those and you know you're being respected by the amount of money you just spent. Currently, I don't see that with any of the Tesla vehicles, including the new Model S.

[@Wittstock99]

Will the acceleration get old? Does the 0 - 60 3 times in the video....come on man. Best crossover ever.

[@RaitisRides]

It actually does get old. No soul in this vehicle.

[@wendylees4382]

You’re my favorite reviewer as I pick my next car. One big zonk for me is that Tesla is not compatible with Apple CarPlay or Apple Music.

[@AMAZINGBEAST6]

I thought I would miss Carplay too. You really do not, tbh.

[@cobrachannel100]

No need to use those are garbage compared to what Tesla offers. Tesla has built in maps that are way better and music subscriptions as well. for everything else, you will be playing via bluetooth.

[@TjD__99]

I personally like EV's but I'm not ready to go out and get one. What's holding me back is most obvious is the Price for most EV regardless of government incentives. Also the Rang, I feel once an EV can get a rang of 500 on a single charge and will only take 10 min to recharge the batter from Low. Then I would feel more comfortable getting into one. I also feel either a tack or a heads up displace that show your speed would be great for Telsa's.

[@josephquinto5812]

You’re gonna be waiting another decade or so for 500 miles of charging in 10 mins

[@tedunguent156]

Yeah, those thin pockets always bust the cream out of my devil dog. You're right Joe, the fit and finish should be better for the price they're asking. Tesla is going to have a lot more competition pretty soon and they shouldn't ignore the quality issue. As always, great review.

[@Eboni748]

Thank you Joe!!! Just purchased my Tesla model Y!💘

[@tonymorcos617]

You have a great show, but you are way off on the pricing of this vehicle. I have a brand new 2021 model y ✨ and it cost 60,990, not the 75000 you are stating. It a better value than the mach e gt, for 2 reasons. 1. The tesla charging network is in a league of its own. 2. It holds its speed a lot better than the mach e.. it reaches a higher speed from 0 to 60 and the quarter mile than the mach e.. Thanks for your KZbin channel

[@tonymorcos617]

Performance

[@tonymorcos617]

You are probably describing a repurchase from this dealership and not a brand new model y performance. I bought my original model y long range in November 2020 for 48,900 and sold it to a third party dealership for 59,600. Used my profits to get the y performance. Check on that please for correct pricing of the 2021 y performance. Thanks

[@cobrachannel100]

@@tonymorcos617 2021 MYP is $64K on Tesla, less than $63K if u live in Cali. So nowhere $75K unless FSD is added.

$63,000 for that Tesla, just FYI. Unless you pay for the $10,000 FSD software upgrade, most people do not.

[@maravish2070]

You can tell joe is a Tesla hater and that’s okay. Everyone I’ve show my new model 3 is blown away and wants to buy one, even my super conservative neighbor who previously believe non sense about EVs. What people may not realize is that Teslas are super customizable and my interior looks nothing like this stock. The plastic on the back of the seats is forged carbon fiber on mine. For the price you get a lot of tech features and performance. Joe didn’t go into auto pilot which is a major plus.

[@indysaab]

Lol you forgot to put your logo over the second acceleration. Great review. Guessing this car had the FSD package to be $75k, unless the dealer has marked it up 10+ grand.
