I’m here after the $13k price drop 😂..it’s definitely worth buying now at $57k!

Hey I mentioned it was overpriced, pretty easy to see coming. Now in line for the tax credit too

I only had my 2023 MYP for a few days and love it so much. It put smiles on my face every time I get to drive it. Passed down the 2022 M3 to my wife 😂

They have gotten a little pricey, but still probably the one I’m buying still. Looks like Tesla is dropping prices fast though.

How is the drive comfort in the 2023 MYP? Is it noticeably harsher than the M3 you feel?

[@anthonyscott5134]

I must say, after renting a MYP on Turo, this launch video, while great, doesn’t do justice to what the actual visceral feeling you experience when you’re in the car! I’ve driven fast cars, but this is scarily fast! As others have stated, the smile that comes across your face just lasts and lasts! Lol😂And leaving tailgaters in the dust never gets old!

[@valvalerio2642]

Just took delivery on my brand new 2024 Blue MYP today! $54,130 at .99% APR. Definitely worth the price now!!!

[@PIPERBOYWILLIAMS]

5 grand more and you get Uber turbine rims with pirelli tires and a 0-60 in 3.1 seconds with a rear spoiler. What more do you want ? You don’t want to add weight that’s not needed.

[@walex19]

You can add the shortcuts at the bottom of the screen like steering wheel heater, heated seats etc. I never even swipe up to the Hvac control screen anymore.

[@Driven-Productions]

Good idea there

[@guppiejaffe9654]

Why is there an issue with the credit card key? I NEVER use that unless for valet, otherwise just use the phone app....

[@milehighkit4725]

We absolutely love ours. We stepped out from a model three and much easier for me to get in and out of. I actually caught the end of year discount on a blue model Y performance. Our last car was the Gray so I was ready for a change. It's starting to grow on me now 🙂

[@Deetroiter]

That is the truth. This Model Y Performance won’t lose to much from a red light. Thing is pretty savage with instant 530hp and 500tq to the wheels with AWD.

[@johnjohn3241]

Can't you use your phone as a key so you wouldn't have to use the physical key everytime to drive?

Yes! Also, read my comment about the voice controls.

@@user-ot9vo3pm1h I did! Actually had an order in for the MYLR but since the IRS finally lifted it to $80K, I upgraded to the MYP 👍🏻

[@joonlee8510]

I am far from being a Tesla fanboy but you just cannot compare the 2023 MYP with other ICE vehicles. Issues like not having enough carbon fiber on the dash, more stitches on the steering wheel, etc. are MINOR if you look at the main selling point of this vehicle: it's an ELECTRIC CAR. The fact that the pricing for this MYP is around $55K (June 2023) is incredible given what it is AND it's still faster than 2024 M3s which is $20K more expensive (base model). Honestly, I can forgive the lack of carbon fiber and steering wheel stitches. But don't get me started on the paint quality which, honestly, could be improved. Cheers!

[@regmatt]

My 2023 m3 rwd was the best i have driven on a road trip from houston to dallas , no strain or tiredeness , ride is amazing , cars were racing behind me to catch lol....in traffic its so good , but when i drove my lexus rx when i come back , ill have freaking headche when coming back pumping the brakes and looking over the horrible traffic...if you super charge in early morning and late evenings its cheap , mid afternnon expensive , it was 32$ round trip ...houston to dallas .

[@Driven-Productions]

Thanks for watching and sharing with everyone. Much appreciated and enjoy your model Y.

[@jonjerromes6457]

The voice activated commands are really good in the Tesla...you mention no other way to turn seats off or heating adjustments etc...I've the model 3 (with the older firmware) and I control most actions, (radio, heating, source etc) through this function.

[@Driven-Productions]

Yeah I hear you, my X and S have it too but I rarely use it. Wish they gave us a few more physical AC system controls/buttons like the Kia EV6 and most every other manufacturer.

[@gust9464]

Good review. Love the Y, but IMO.. I think the model 3 performance is more nimble and the best bang for your buck. The cars built in Giga Texas are a much better build. In regards to the door handles, on your app, you can pop it open without touching the door handle. As for the key, you can also use your cell phone, which automatically opens the doors when your close to it. You had those features on your Tesla’s. You can also minimize the regenerative braking. You have to mention Model Y also has track mode. Tesla definitely has the best charging network hands down with now over 50,000+ in the US. Currently in 2024 the Model Y (same spec) is going for $49,013 with the $7,500 federal tax credit. What did you think about the suspension on the performance model? Audi just recalled a ton of cars and were hiding the defects from customers. Porsche did the same thing, the 2020 & 2021 Taycan’s were going on fire while charging (google teslarati Porsche Taycan battery issue).

[@anthonyscott5134]

I like this review, but at the 10:40 mark where he’s talking about having to use the touch screen, is where I find fault. As with 99.9% of Tesla KZbin channels, he either doesn’t know about the myriad of voice controllable features of the car or simply is following what everyone else says. I can’t remember at this moment the name of the channel, but there is ONE, and he’s the ONLY ONE that not only talks about all the car’s features that can be voice controlled, he actually shows you him operating these features, such as, turning on the AC, independently for both the driver and passenger. Turning off the AC, independently for the driver and passenger. Adjusting the AC airflow pattern and force. “No other way of doing this”? Sorry, but you’re wrong! I literally watched the other KZbinr do it by voice control! Turning on and off the steering wheel heat. It was pretty incredible to see. I really wish more channels like this talked about and showed that, as opposed to going the route of simply stating how inconvenient using the touch screen is. It would make for a more accurate review.

[@Driven-Productions]

Appreciate you watching and talking the time to comment. I own a X and S, both have the voice controls, and I rarely use them. Mostly because I have people (family) in the car often, listening to music, talking, etc. But, they do work, not perfectly, but once you learn the basics. Still wish they offered more physical buttons like most all other manufacturers.

[@larryfaragalli2587]

Love the white! Glad Tesla keeps improving!! Great review.

[@anthonyscott5134]

Ok, back again. When he talks about regen braking and says he prefer regen “motors”, I found that quite perplexing, as that is exactly what Tesla has. Tesla’s regenerative braking is the term they use. The actual process does not use the brake pads and rotors. It all done in the car’s motors. Now Tesla has updated, or is about to update its software to start applying the actual brakes when regen is limited.

[@Driven-Productions]

It’s Adam my man, and was referring to the Taycan which uses the brakes not the electric motors for majority of braking, more like a traditional ice car. 👍

[@anthonyscott5134]

@@Driven-Productions , Sorry, in viewing the video again, it still seems like you were referring to the Tesla. If I got the wrong impression, I apologize. Since you responded though, I’d like to ask you to review your comments about using the touchscreen. Every thing you complained about, having to do through the touchscreen, can be done by means of voice commands in this car. I learned this from watching the KZbin channel “Just Frugal me”, “18 voice commands…” I highly recommend it. I’ve confirmed that these voice commands actually work.

I mean wouldn’t you prefer a dedicated row of buttons for the key things 🤷‍♂️ almost ever other manufacturer does. Own and X and S and wish they did, least they have a front screen though.

[@anthonyscott5134]

Ok, back again. The KZbin channel I mentioned in my earlier comments is “Just Frugal me”. The main video of his I watched about the Tesla voice commands is “18 Voice commands…”

[@matthewwiemken7293]

umm.. Why don't you have your phone paired with the car and instead using the backup keycard?:)

[@Driven-Productions]

Because, at least on this one, it was not my car. Was sold to someone else, and we transferred it to them few days after this review. Thus, to my knowledge, only way to get it working is with the keycard. Registration requires submitting registration paperwork to Tesla and all as you know.

Nice $60,000+ car but not for the masses! We just bought a Bolt EUV and are quite happy although it is 0 to 60 in 6.5 seconds and has a slow charge rate. I've not ever needed 0 to 60 in 3 seconds or missed it as the speed limit here in NY is 65 mph on the thruway. The Bolt has very clear buttons for heat and ac and a very nice display as well as a 10.2 inch screen for all else. The driving experience is excellent even at 85 on the thruway.

The first half of this video is very good. During the POV Drive, you get way too caught up in the FSD - most people don’t recommend spending $15,000 for something that’s in BETA. Also, Tesla seems to provide FSD to all of the used cars that they sell (to incentivize purchase?). With the price decrease and the move to $88,000 for the Model Y tax credit it’s probably worth your time to just cut that part from the video.

[@Driven-Productions]

I agree for $15k FSD is a scam, do say that in this video. Was also not aware that Tesla is now again transferring FSD like they did on my 16 Model S. They have been charging users $199 / plus taxes to turn it back on for cars that were equipped with it originally. Price cuts came out right after this went live and I alluded to it in this video. I did not think they would cut this car 19% though, that was a bit extreme.

[@JoshuaParks]

@@Driven-Productions respect the time you’ve already put into the video. The rest of the video is so good & beautiful I think it would be worth the effort to re-edit and re-release this updated. However I have no idea how nyc work that would be!
