Tesla Model Y .. 6 months later (the good and the bad)

[@nfra2]

9 months in and I'm still loving stepping into my Model 3 every day. You're right, the white seats really make the interior pop in the sunshine! I get so many positive comments about the seats. And they truely are easy to keep clean. And yes, the auto-wipers are probably the most annoying feature for me; they're not very intelligent. The one extra good thing I'd add... roadside assistance. Got a flat a few months ago, within 90mins the wheel was changed and I was on my way. Not bad on a busy Friday night.

[@Trust_but_Verify]

Did they change the tire on your wheel or exchanged for their wheel? (Do you get your old wheel back?)

[@RyanCowan]

Thanks Nick ! So glad to hear you're still loving the Model 3 (no surprise!) and the white seats as well. Great point about roadside assistance ... I haven't needed that yet thankfully, but good to know you had a positive experience.

[@rubencamps6689]

Got the model y LR for 2 months now and I just can't get enough of it. It drives so pleasant that even my wife who preferred Volvo, says it's a very pleasant car. Even with family trips it's so amazing car. Starting the airco while waiting in the shop to enter a fresh cooled car via the app it's just so amazing. Also the amazing space in the trunk and backseats is just amazing.

[@maxflight777]

The incredible sound system was the biggest surprise.

[@nfused]

17,000km in 6 months is impressive! I have just hit 14k in 8 months in my model 3 :). Glad you’re enjoying it! Im still loving mine too

[@tongtran007]

A really fair and non bias review of the model Y. Love Tesla!

[@mowcowbell]

One of the first things I did to my '24 Model Y Long Range is put different wheel covers on the 19" rims that cover the edge of the rim. The other advantage of the 19" rims is a bit smoother ride compared to the 20 or 21" rims.

[@CFCASE]

I have literally sent this video to about 30 people that have asked me how I feel about my model y - grade a content mate keep it up - btw your shorts showing the updates = elite, no talking just showing the features quick easy and allows me to know what to look for absolutely amazing

[@RyanCowan]

haha thank you ! Really appreciate it

[@peterwundersitz3715]

Re: the auto wipers; I had a Lexus and they worked perfectly for 8 years.....slowed and sped up with the intensity of the rain and never started when the sun was out. This Y is a pain, but I still love it.

[@greasy_beefcake]

9:38 Agree on the auto wiper situation. Just got 2023.12.1 this morning which includes the ability to adjust wiper speed using the left button on the steering wheel. Better than nothing, but another update/fix would be nice.

[@steveallen1055]

I have a 2021 Model Y with 40,000 miles. One plus that you won't come across at only 6 months is the maintenance. My total maintenance has been filling the windshield washer tank, rotating the tires, changed the cabin air filter once but did have to change the 12Volt battery once due to living in a hot location. Still have the original tires. Also a minor thing but I never have to scrub off the brake dust because there isn't any.

[@markwetty2269]

If you change your oil every 5000 mi that saves close to 800.00

[@cgamiga]

Agree on all the points, especially Premium Connectivity, for roadtrips the satellite color maps are wonderful, especially finding unfamiliar superchargers in context of real world eg in parking lots... plus seeing the scenery around you.. plus, of course streaming music, so easy to just use voice control "play xyz" artist or song, so easy to get whatever suits your mood at the time.

[@ntpryce]

Hi Ryan, I just collected my new Model Y Performance today. Your reviews and experiences contributed a lot to decision to jump to an EV and also to choose a Model Y. Having now brought my new EV home and done a little bit of a drive, I'm definitely hooked and, like you, smitten with my Model Y. I also chose white with a white interior 🙂

[@maxflight777]

David … MYP ? I can tell you that it’s going to be just as exciting in 2 years time as it is today. A stunning car. Ps buy the official Tesla mudflaps and the protective mat for the rear cargo area.

[@maxflight777]

Very good review. Thank you. I'm from Derbyshire in the UK. I'm seriously considering an EV for the first time. I've always had hatchbacks but have been considering the sportier-looking Model 3, however, I'm now seriously considering the bulkier but way more practical Model Y . Your video is very thorough & honest and very insightful.

[@peterwundersitz3715]

I had a ford fairlane that one could fit tons of stuff in and this is bigger.

[@peterball7789]

Great to see such an intelligent, reasonable(and reasoned review) - and it's Australian! I have to admit I was very sceptical regarding Teslas 'til very recently when I actually test drove one. I have been looking at a Kia Niro(an earlier model). I now have to do a little bit more saving as the Model Y looks like an ideal choice for my situation (on a farm with a dog!).

[@RyanCowan]

Thanks for the kind comment mate ! Once I test drove one, I was the same and knew I had to get one ! Honestly, a great decision by you to save for the Model Y, you'll love it. And it just keeps getting better with software updates.

[@FearTec]

2 months into my Y, 3,000 km added. Love it

[@szoghby]

Great points Ryan. My most annoying issue with the paint, I have the PPF full front only and I wish I can go back in time and do full PPF. I am using Tesla caps with the 19’ wheels because I knew about the 20’ rims sticking out issue. Please share recommended 19’ covers.

[@robf2210]

[@mikehawk4856]

Thank you so much for this, just ordered a model Y and needed to see an honest review

[@RyanCowan]

[@avaxis]

The OTA updates is the game changer. Every other car you buy is obsolete once it rolls out the showroom floor as the manufacturer is coming up with new features for its facelift or replacement model. But Tesla keeps adding features to keep the car up to date.

[@beartr2626]

6:30 thats why u need ppf at least for the bonnet / front side of any car.

[@StephenBaysted]

Very balanced, honest and informative review. Thanks!

[@SuperMistland]

Since this is a 6 month old Model Y, some of the complaints have been addressed in new units. The suspension is improved, the price is reduced, and it gets the full tax credit. I keep comparing it to other similarly specced EVs and the MY just seems like the best deal overall. I could be wrong though, I just can't find another EV that matches the MYLR spec sheet without being way more expensive.

[@RyanCowan]

Totally agree mate ! Thanks for the comment, glad you're loving the Model Y

[@makeupnmedicine]

Love the bin covers in the back, that is awesome

[@johannesandersen3574]

I have been driving my Y Performance for 2 months and I'm really happy about the car. The biggest issue with the car is that visual parking assist sucks and is a big step down from the 360 park assist I had in my Mazda. Then how the drive assist adjusts the speed limits needs an overhaul. Finally for some reason the car gets really dirty in the door openings I guess these are not sealed off good enough compared to other cars. But all in all I like the car.

[@RyanCowan]

Valid points.

[@chrishosking6842]

Well done mate, well orchestrated, good points. We are waiting for ours to arrive on the 6th May on, very excited and we can then stop burning stuff to get around.

[@RyanCowan]

haha thanks mate, excited for you to get your new car

[@thornleypb]

When did you order it?

[@chrishosking6842]

October last year, but there was a drop in price in Feb 2023, don’t think that effected delivery times, just RHD vehicles take some time to switch over in Shanghai. Not to bad considering I would have had to wait over 2 years for a KIA EV6.

Fyi the free wheels actually have wheel covers, if you take them off it reveals some really nice multi spoke wheels. They almost look aftermarket. Super cool.

[@rfish6993]

Hi, I have a model 3 and I love the car but just a couple of things that hopefully can be improved. First is that the air conditioning vent blows cold air on your legs even though the graphics on the screen show it blowing towards your face. I complained to Tesla and they worked on it for three hours then said it needed parts to repair. 6 weeks later a new modified dash vent assembly was fitted and it made no difference. Technician said that “it is was it is” That’s why the top of the steering column is flat and curved up to direct the air up. Maybe during winter I’ll enjoy the warm air on my legs. Secondly I wish the clock on screen could be made a little larger. Thirdly I would like the brake lights on the graphics on the screen to be a little brighter for when your using regen braking. Great videos, keep up the good work

[@teslarex]

I agree Y is the best Tesla- practically, right sized, value, safety, modern construction/design… Y performance is awesome and a steal! (S and X owner) I’m in SoCal and have not any issues with the 2023 glass roof being too hot (less than 2 hours in Car) Tint on side/rear glass makes a big difference.

[@davea6787]

Great video Ryan. We’ve owned our model 3 LR since March 2021. We love it. It’s such a great car to own and drive. And it gets better every time a significant update comes along. However, we too have noticed: The paint is rubbish. We have the stupidly expensive Red option, which is no better than the white. You’ve only got to sneeze in front of it and there’s another chip. Disappointing and upsetting. We may end up getting the front resprayed and a protective film applied, next time we find a few thousand down the back of the couch. The auto wiper function is also rubbish on our car. It does exactly the same things yours does. We’ve noticed if you give the washers a squirt when a bug hits the screen, all hell breaks loose for the next minute or so. It must be damaging the blades at least, if not the screen itself. Still, no regrets. Great cars. Good to see so many 3s and Ys on the road now. We hardly saw a single other Tesla when we first bought ours. Cheers

[@RyanCowan]

[@lawrencecoleman6998]

You are sooo right about the auto wipers. Just got our black Mod Y RWD last saturday and it had rained quite a bit since then so plenty of time to get acquainted with the auto wipers. Exactly as you said, it seems to overly react to every raindrop and then the rain stops and it’s still merrily dry wiping. It’s very erratic and so hope that subsequent software updates will improve that. Autohighbeam…great! only little quibble reflector signs on the road often fool the car. It’s dimmed on every occasion for oncoming cars and following cars. Best car I owned! I keep making excuses to the family to take it for a drive…anywhere😊. Indeed, the future of driving!

I have the same car, including the Induction wheels. I’m in the UK and our roads are terrible so I think the suspension is too stiff. I gather the newer cars, certainly those made in Germany, have improved softer suspension. I also agree about the wipers so I find myself using autopilot less and less. Other than that, it’s excellent as you outline.

I had a testride today with it. A pity they don’t gave me the requested model (i want drive the AWD). It uses quickly and was quick even though. The chassis is not as refined as my Volvo V60 and makes more noise (and no….that isn’t because there is no ICE in it!). The suspension is not as plush as the V60. Also the seats are too short for me (1,89m). It is not bad but still not convinced. Next car is gonna be the Skoda Enyaq 88kw in bussines+ trim, to test drive….😅

Good that you took one for a test drive ! Honestly, the more you drive a Tesla, the more you see how far ahead of the competition they are-given they've been making EV's a lot longer than anyone else.

[@jeremyrimmer9247]

Good review Ryan. I, like you, opted to install the Otrifowd sliding shade. This was not so much for sun protection as I live on the south coast of British Columbia, but rather for sound deadening. Pulling the rear portion of the shade forward seems to dampen some of the echoes fro the glass roof. As for keeping Cooper cool and happy on hot summer days, have you considered dropping the centre armrest/pass through portion of the rear seat back and aiming the A/C duct louvres through the opening? That vent produces a pretty strong supply of chilled air that might just do the trick.

thinking about getting one as our next car so I rented a MY for 5 days for a family trip. Personally, it felt a bit small and low compared to the camry and CRV we are use to. Loved how quiet it is and the surprising amount of cargo space. The biggest annoying point was that we had to pretty much google how to do every single thing in it and there are likely many features it has that we never knew existed. The car is not ideal as a rental vehicle for those whos never driven one. 5 days was enough for the initial hype to die down a bit. I still think its an interesting car and would love to explore all of its featurea. Just not something I feel I urgently want anymore.

[@SkandiaAUS]

Ha I've wondered exactly what someone's first impression is to the Y from a rental. Sometimes my brain just blacks out trying to do something basic, like indicate or park it. I've owned a 3 for 2 years and it still catches me out sometimes. It's almost risky to have people jump in to a Tesla without some prior experience. I hope it didn't put you off them for life :)

[@Macazian]

6:16 - Looks like a shoddy paint job. I'm curious if that's only 1 coat or 2 coats of OEM paint at factory. The industry standard I think is 3 full coats of paint then clear coat so that the paint thickness will be more durable for rock chips. I used to have a car (2014 Pearl White Accord) with 1 coat of white paint on the hood and bumper that was repaired and it was a rock chip magnet with the metal hood like yours. But my vehicle was salvaged title so I don't expect this to happen on a brand new dealer vehicle.

[@AnthonyFloro-v5d]

I would add to the list of wishes a garage door opener as standard. Tesla is charging $350 plus 50 labor and sales tax here in Allegheny County PA of 7%. That’s crazy. Every car on the market has a push button garage door opener as standard not an option. Thanks.

[@celinetonio6620]

Great car, but some quirks... - front lights need to be adjusted - squeaking sound from front left suspension (spoils the pleasure of driving silent) - phone struggling to connect (probably from my phone tbh) - windshield wipers turn on irrationally when not raining with low sun - Tesla Vision is just not working (should be on top of sensors...) - terrible turn radius - and as mention in the video, the suspension is quite firm Other than that, on the good side, plenty of range (long-range version), very efficient when driven smooth, lots of storage, very very powerful, Tesla supercharger network much cheaper on highway trips (at least here in Europe), all options come std (unlike every other car manufacturer that have too many trims to chose from), All in all the best deal I could find in terms of volume/range/options/price (ID4 being the runner up) but for the price, some of the quirks mentioned above should not be there.

Oh wow, I completely disagree ! I've had so many Ioniq owners say to me they wish they had done more research and got a Tesla. Will have to do a comparison between the two. Appreciate your comment as it's always good to get feedback like this ! Very glad to hear you're happy with the Ioniq.

You may be forgot to mention that it would be nice if tesla putting on head up display to keep eye on road at all time. Something worth mention and tesla need to improve.

I'm already driving 6 years in the future with my model S, I didn't had a best car; I am driving my best

I live not far from you, Ryan, and find my red LR Model Y gets dirty really easily. I also love my vehicle and drive it at every opportunity. I’d love to catch up and swap ideas if you want. Cheers mate
