One thing I forgot to mention in the video is the Y has a rly bad turn radius. It's kind of a pain in the azz to park sometimes, esp in tight parking lots 🥲
@FredCallahan11 ай бұрын
The turning is pretty terrible…going from my iD4 back to the Y is super noticeable. Great video! Good to see you again
@b3naqua11 ай бұрын
@FredCallahan thanks! Yeah the iD4 completely destroys the Y in terms of turn radius
@coryvb305611 ай бұрын
Yeah MYP turning radius is not that great at all. Especially since I have the 21 inch wheels with the rims which stick out causing me to turn wide around curbs in parking lots.
@pman8126 ай бұрын
We are looking at a model y to replace our car. I didn’t think the turn radius was too bad. Although I mainly drive our truck, with a trailer on it, so it has a much better turn radius than what I’m used to.
@coryvb305611 ай бұрын
As a MYP 22 owner your review is pretty much spot on. I have never had any phantom braking though. I love autopilot and my Y too!
@b3naqua11 ай бұрын
Good to hear! 👏🏼 phantom braking usually happens when I’m in the middle of nowhere and it’s sunset/sunrise. Something about long shadows and those mirage-like hazy areas above really hot steamy pavement lol

Tesla doesn’t say luxury. Premium is the term. But model 3 highland is better materials. Hopefully model Y will get that same thing.

The heat isn’t too bad for short trips but it’s excruciating for long road trips thru the south 🥵 I got a sun shade for the roof and it makes the heat much more bearable, in addition to the tinting the side windows + windshield

That black trim will likely "glitter" from the sun...Toyota had the same issue on the Prius. Keep in mind the prius was a "elite" purchase when it first came out and alot of the car's finishes were janky then as well. Honestly this has always been a $35 - $55k car and is only now getting to where it should have been.

Double tap the vent on the display so that it splits the air around the steering wheel.

🚘I’m a heavy guy and that plastic trim on the front of the drivers seat came apart at the seams. It took three trips to the dealer to get it fixed correctly. Initially they ordered a couple pieces, but a fastener lip on the trim had cracked. They half assed it together and handed the vehicle back. I got home and the trim came apart again. After calling them, they agreed to do the job correctly and ordered a complete replacement trim. I had the impression this assembly was from the assembly factory parts supply. Well, now it is correctly repaired. Back to the good vibes.🚗

Tesla does not try and go for a "luxury car" standard. Tesla's are considered Premium vehicles. I in no way expected luxury vehicle materials in the car at purchase. It does however meat my expectations for premium materials. Although, I would like to see some improvements to the vegan leather.

Thanks for your comments on the useless, disgusting and utterly idiotic full glass roofs. I would not want that POS even if I lived in Iceland. But in a hot climate - it is an absolute nightmare. All that full glass roof ACTUALLY does is: 1. Increasing car cost for no reason ( wasn't Tesla all about EV adoption, huh? ) 2. Increasing insurance cost ( yes, they DO break and then are at least 3000 USD to replace, so that is reflected in insurance, of course) 3. Allowing A LOT more heat into the cabin - leading to decreased efficiency AND decreased range, as you are forced into running A/C more 4. Increasing car weight 5. Decreasing head space ( yeah, you can pretend that it does not but its only because there is no shade - which will be A MUST in hot climate, most users install them to block the sun, at additional cost and loss of head space) God I wish there was an universal LAW forcing all manufacturers to offer any glass roofs as a PAID FOR OPTION only, so that only idiots highly susceptible to stupid marketing crap could option them in. "Ooooh, my glass roof allows so much more light!" Yeah, right. You are sitting in a tiny box with windows ALL around you, how much more bloody light could you possibly want.
