13 Important Settings to Change in Your New Model Y

[@wong5150]

do the 2024 Ys not come with a USB drive in the glove? my nov 2023 delivery did

[@usmcsaxoki]

Looking at Tesla's online shop, if you click on the 128 GB USB drive they sell, it says "NOTE: USB - 128 GB IS INCLUDED WITH ALL NEW VEHICLE DELIVERIES."

[@Logan_Simmons]

Yes, they do. Just picked up Tuesday and it has it.

[@devinbaeten13]

I got a 24 MYLR a few weeks ago and it came with the 128gb flash drive.

[@margaretcassidy3280]

My 2024 has a USB drive in the glove compartment

[@TheRocboy323]

It comes with it but you need to turn it on

[@beachcrow]

Hint for new drivers is to treat the accelerator pedal like a dimmer switch, not on/off. Feather up on the pedal for a smooth stop.

[@JakeRobinson-n7x]

Unless you have FSD I recommend leaving the autopilot on double pull. When on the highway using your blinker indicator will disengage autopilot but leave cruise control on. That way you don’t have to worry about hard breaking once you disengage AP. If single pull AP is on the you have to disengage AP, keep speed with the accelerator, then reengage after you change lanes. Didn’t realize this the first time I had single pull enabled and was VERY surprised.

[@maxflight777]

Sir ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ Wow ! You make a bloody good point ! That acceleration/ deceleration was annoying me after I changed to AP single pull !!

[@BrUc3Lee1121]

Oh my god, thank you! I just bought one and took a trip and knew I was doing something wrong. I just couldn’t believe I had to disengage auto pilot completely to just switch lanes. Disengaging gives a slight jerk and on the highway where it wasn’t fun.

[@fresnorn]

I'm confused. The stalk to engage AP is on the right, but the turn signal is on the left. How would using the left turn signal disengage AP?

[@NoNameFish247]

@@fresnorn it does it electronically

[@fresnorn]

@@NoNameFish247 thanks of course after I purchase the vehicle I better understood that if you have one pull and you change into disengages, them both versus two pulls only disengages autosteer when changing lanes. Thank you for this advice.

[@bigboybrown-tf1id]

No, regenerative braking doesn't use brake pads, but instead uses an electric motor to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery

[@Louie_n_Poppy]

I realize this is not your car, Ben, but setting up user profiles would be the first thing a new owner has to do. Setting up a 2nd driver profile including phone settings and card setup is something nobody shows in these types of video. Perhaps that could be something you could cover in the future.

Owned three tesla Y’s and I learned a lot just from this video. Nice one again 😊

[@Elaba_]

Did the drive units have to be changed and the batteriies?

[@bigceej]

I would recommend toggling "Apply Brakes When Regenerative Breaking is Limited" to ON. Especially for people new to EVs. It essentially makes the car always feel the same when letting off the accelerator. So the driver never feels a different level of deceleration, no matter if cold and regen is reduced or the battery level is high. This makes learning easier as the car always brakes consistently...I don't see a downside to this.

I am getting my car tomorrow and I am concerned about smoothness of Tesla y. I noticed they removed Creap, and Smooth modes from paddle. They have kept the Hold mode for 2024. Does this mean i have to keep my foot on the paddle entire time when I am on the trip? Also I noticed when i was driving it slows down the car little too fast and feels like a go cart. Is there a way around it to make experience smoother?

[@j.kevinmcnary9561]

No, you won't have to keep your foot on the accelerator all the time. Hold mode works incredibly well, and will hold the car in place, even on a hill. You will get used to the "go cart" feeling of one-pedal driving VERY quickly. It is one of the most enjoyable aspects of driving a Tesla to me. And I have been driving for 55 years. With very little practice with feathering the pedal, you will be driving very smoothly. And with a lot less fatigue than an ICE vehicle, especially in stop-and-go traffic where constant switching between brake and accelerator is a pain. You won't miss it.

[@sunil233]

They removed creep mode ..it’s one Pedal only this is the disadvantage and uncomfortable for new Tesla drivers ..when you remove the foot from pedal it will stop ..also be cautious while turns

Can someone please help me. I went for a Demo Drive in the Y and I felt very car sick right away from the regen braking being extremely aggressive. my question is: for all tesla owners when you first started driving a Tesla did you also get car sick until you got used to the Regen and how long did it take to get smooth enough with it to get rid of the sick feeling every time you drive. I don't want to buy the car and realize it's something that only I'm dealing with and I won't get better and most other people did not feel it. I also have a baby and don't want her to be sick and vomiting every time she drives with us in the car. thanks.

[@j.kevinmcnary9561]

I truly don't understand how regen braking would make you car sick. It does take a while (in my case, about an hour) to learn how to feather the accelerator pedal. And don't overdo the incredible acceleration at first.

@@j.kevinmcnary9561 no I'm very light on the throttle. but I went for a second drive. and turned down the regen to chill. I didn't feel anything this time. but feeling car sick meaning, headache and maybe if it got worse probably throw up but not that extreme. it can happen I mean with an aggressive driver some people can get car sick in the passenger seat. the habit of just letting off the throttle right away to slow down just engages the regen fully and it throws off my brain that's probably why it happened
