Tesla Loaned me a 2021 Model Y Dual Motor Long Range and I Hate it!!

[@itzz_kyle5867]

“I swear it wasn’t me it was the car”😂

[@JohnSteele-j6j]

I've been driving Model S since 2016. My wife had a 2017 Model S. Bought a 2023 Model S Plaid last October. Wife chose a Model Y. She wanted to be up higher. I agree with you, it's ugly. I call it her transportation appliance. Makes sense as she says she gets more excited about a new refrigerator than a new car. This is a car for non-car people.

[@bilboriches7216]

Model 3 and Y were made for this - just regular cars for going a-b. Nothing special.

[@adoniscomplex]

Except that they accelerate like motorcycles and have the best navigation on the market.

[@codycrawford2385]

The model 3 and Y are the ones with headlights aimed at everything but the road lol, always wondered why

[@rossmartin7003]

Sorry, I'm not a Tesla owner but referring to your comment on being OCD about rattles ans squeeeks; I hear ya, I'm exactly the same way. Nothing drives me more crazy than steering vibrations or cabin noises. I just bought a Mercedes E350 and it's wonderful. 85k miles and it drives like a new car.

[@KayyssGames1]

I cant wait to see the refreshed model Y

[@slavko321]

@@KayyssGames1 looks good, manlier:)

[@sf-dn8rh]

Used to have a Datsun 210 2 door that when a vacuum line go, it start farting like crazy, the leak make farting noises constantly, the car sounded like it had 3 taco bell burritos and a Pepsi. Guessing the Y had a lot of Taco bell and Wendy's chilli today (lol that line had me laughing)

[@cutehumor]

Randy, let us know if you see any Tesla with bad batteries at the auctions. I’m interested in getting a Tesla but worried about the battery

[@TheRichardc88]

My wife and I were very skeptical of Tesla but after so much research we purchased a model 3, then a model Y a year later. They have been great! Cheap to charge at home, maintain and excellent warranty. Once you get past all the misinformation, media lies and learning curve... They make the best cars!

[@cutehumor]

@@TheRichardc88 I’m waiting for long term results with over 200k miles before I jump to buy. I’m looking for thousands of examples

[@TheRichardc88]

@cutehumor I can completely respect that. I think the most assuring thing for us personally was that the Tesla Warranty is better than every other vehicle on the road today. Even the most reliable manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and full-size pickups all refuse to back their cars with a 120k or 150k mile warranties. With the major lack of wear items on Tesla vehicles and the addition of an industry leading warranty, it was a no-brainer if you keep your vehicle less than 8 years or 120k miles. Might not be a fit for everyone or all situations, of course.

[@gravehunter2]

@TheRichardc88 we were about to get one till my step dad came in now my step dad told my mom that we will not get one due to them catching on fire

[@TheRichardc88]

@gravehunter2 Normally, I appreciate airing on the side of caution, but this Tesla fire thing was really blown out of proportion by the news and social media. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that there are around 222,000 vehicle fires in the United States each year. Since 2012, there have been 511 fires involving Tesla vehicles. The evidence does not support the mass misinformation about Tesla fires.

my mom got in a car crash with her model y its a pancake now but we got a model x now and i am glad im alive

[@Vomitstrides]

Hi from Scotland. Another great video Randy. Always a pleasure to watch as you are so upbeat. I hope your “wind” gets better, stop blaming the Tesla😂.

[@TheRichardc88]

I have a Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor (blue with black wheels) with performance boost. The family loves the room, this thing has more rear seat legroom than almost anything(any 2 row suv and some 3 row suvs) and it's great to camp in! It was a steal CPO from tesla. I have also noticed that people treat these Tesla loan cars very bad.... I never understood that. For the people that whine about battery concens... I always ask them how long their cars powertrain warranty is for.... 5 years, 60k is pretty normal. My warranty is 8 years or 120k miles. I believe the Model S and X have warranties out to 150k miles. No ICE manufacturer would dare do that.

[@colettegaudet3295]

I have a Jeep wagoneer and it has lifetime warranty so some ICE companies do

[@americanrambler4972]

I love headroom! And I like big tall door openings. I understand why the Y outsells the 3 by a lot. That vertical inside space really matters!

[@LimpHz]

I daily drive a 2022 Model Y LR. I absolutely love it, but I agree that the rear section of the interior rattles like crazy. It’s a widespread issue. I’ve narrowed it down to the back seats - they’re not built very rigidly. Also the rear suspension didn’t have enough time spent on its NVH. There are several aftermarket suspension options that help with this. Hopefully the Y refresh will address that issue. I love it since it’s a solid car that has low cost of ownership. The cargo space, excessive headroom, ride height, and the ability to tow are nice features above the Model 3. Unfortunately you got an original Model Y - you’d like a newer Y more. They’ve done a lot of refinement and subtle upgrades since they first came out. Unfortunately they’ll never match the speed and intensity of an S Plaid lol.

[@devondelgado1818]

It’s still an ugly looking egg suv that looks like everything else on the road. It could be improved but it still frumpy looking and an absolute pain the ass when the battery completely dead. Deal with enough of those at work and always a pain.

[@LimpHz]

@ Can’t say anything about your subjective opinions, but if people are running their batteries completely dead then they shouldn’t be driving an EV in the first place. It’s dead simple to keep the thing charged up enough to do your daily driving.

[@devondelgado1818]

@@LimpHz well I do have to deal with wrecked ones and those more than not are dead. But most cars we get are dead but it just the fact that to jump them is a pain because they’re always in a different spot especially on the older s and x models

[@LimpHz]

@@devondelgado1818 Oh sure, that makes sense. That’s an odd situation for sure.

[@darekmistrz4364]

​@@LimpHz Some people dont care about that stuff no matter if its EV or ICE. How you can run out of gas in ICE is even more baffling but that happens every day hundreds of times

[@slyguyaction]

I've never liked the look of the Model Y. They look like someone hooked up an air compressor to a Model 3 and pumped it up with air till it nearly burst. Such a strange looking beast. Oh, those "Wireless" chargers are actually wired charging. That cord plugs into power at one end and your phone in the other. My buddy's 2021 Model 3 Performance has those. I chose a 2022 RWD Model 3 and absolutely love it. We parked a 2023 Model X Plaid (Ultra red with white interior) next to it and when I need a plush ride, a surprisingly good stereo and wild acceleration, I strap in to the Model X Plaid. Thank you for the honest review.

[@jonidavis8301]

I got a model y 2020 yesterday. I love it The inside is just like mine color but the out side of mine is dark gray.

[@StalePhish]

We've got a 2023 Model Y AWD, 330 miles rated. My wife and I recently drove from New Hampshire to Florida, slept in the back for a week on a custom fit mattress, then drove back from Florida to New Hampshire in one day! (well, 27 hours, start to finish). My car is a Model 3. She got the Y because it fits a lot more cargo, easier to get in and out of, and for passengers too. And you can sleep in the back as we did on our road trip, which would be horrible claustrophobic in a Model 3, which is a sedan and not a hatchback. Crossover SUVs are all the rage in the US and now European markets. There is a MASSIVE price difference between Y and X. The Y starts at $37k and the X starts at $72k. The reason it probably feels slow is because they probably have it locked onto Chill mode in addition to the speed limiter. That's what Valet Mode does anyway. It does have wireless charging built in, that one is either just broken or it's your case. My wife's case charges fine but mine, which does work in other cars, needs the case to come off to work on this one for some reason.

[@burnx45]

He got 0-60 in 4.8 seconds which is what is stated when new. So it's not locked in chill mode for acceleration mode. I'm in California and I have a 2023 Model Y LR with acceleration boost (0-60 in 4.2 seconds). The farthest I've driven mine before is 263 miles with 9% left, over a combination of back roads, city, and highway. Mine stated when new was 329 miles at 100%. It now says 308 miles at 100% and I have 23,777 miles on it.

[@TruckCentral]

Clearly, you don’t own a 10 gallon hat.

[@elirussell6812]

I got a video idea you might be interested in. You should try the trip to Terre Haute again with the new Tesla when its out of service. You mentioned how you think you might've evened the score with the gasoline and im interested to see!

[@BF-qt2wp]

Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.

[@M67v]

I was never a huge fan of the Model Y as well because of its looks but it’s hard to argue with its range, practicality, technology, and value proposition. I’d take it over any of its competitors

[@jeffcicale]

Not a fan of the old Y myself....you purchased the best looking model by far!

[@billadkinson9432]

Hey, I've got a model y. Reason I got it? Model 3 is too small, and the price of the x was too high...unless I got a reallllllly used one 😂 You're absolutely right though...great commuter car. I have acceleration boost, giving me 0-60 in 4.2, so there's that...

[@dictator97]

Hello Randy. The Tesla Model Y is a great looking car. You've got it as a loaner while your Tesla Plad is in the shop.

[@ricardovelazquez5715]

So the farting from is the cars exterior speaker and clearly the last driver got into the toy box and set it up so that when it locks it farts instead of honk and I find that absolutely funny.

[@karlismierins2908]

I'm with you 100% Randy regarding the looks of the Model Y. Not one of Tesla's better designs.

[@Sar-f1t]

Nice cars! Fast car ✨

[@Pingstein11]

Randy the room in a Model Y is cavernous compared to a 3. I lived with a 3 for a bit then tried a Y. The passenger room is not comparable. They Y feels open and airy. Whereas the 3 feels very sports car like and cramped. The seating positions are extremely different. Upright and comfy in the Y as opposed to having to fall into the 3.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I've had 3 M3s and never had to "fall" into the seats.

[@Streeknine]

I was the same, I owned a 2021 Model 3 LR first.. I loved the quickness and how fun it felt. But then I realized, the space became an issue when I wanted to camp in it. The 2022 Model Y Performance was a great Utility vehicle compared to the Model 3. I do miss the range, but wouldn't trade it for anything because of the space you get.

[@harriettanthony7352]

Hey Ho Randy{Readers} A VERY HONEST Tesla review! And this by one who knows his autos. The "Y" is the top selling auto of any sort world wide for many good reasons, ugly or not. Now I hope by this time in 2025 Randy can rent/buy/borrow the "Juniper" refreshed "Y" for his comments and views.

Putting a two tone paint package could help the look of the Y overall. (Fake plastic station wagon wood grain trim anybody?)

[@aldairperez5464]

After driving the Y, 3, and S, only the X and Cybertruck (and the original Roadster) remains for you to drive.

[@Crazypostman]

I've gotten a Model X loaner from OKC before

[@amdhehe]

So the complaints were: 1. it looks dumb 2. it had rattles/squeaks (which were fixed easily) 3. it didn't wirelessly charge his phone Anything else? Appearance of the car is a personal preference and i guess it could qualify someone to 'hate' it. Rattles/squeaks would be a big issue to me, but by moving the seats and floorboards he fixed it. The phone not charging, maybe it was broken in this car, but i wouldn't 'hate' a car because it didn't have wireless charging.

[@aymanlockhartable]

I own a twin turbo V6, V8, and a Tesla model Y. Model Y might be soulless than my gas cars but great daily driver.

The Model Y is the same size as a Mach E or a CRV.

[@SnowmanTF2]

Given they speed limited it, they probably locked it in the more casual acceleration mode too.

Hi Randy, good afternoon I just saw your video on the rental Tesla that you got it’s a pretty good cool car but it’s not my taste in cars either.
