Tesla Model Y review after 1100 miles of family life. The good, the bad and the long term efficiency

[@nasenmann2011]

I'm pretty impressed by the size of the centre console. I've just ordered two Model Y as additional storage areas. This should give me more space inside my garage.

[@guicane]

you bought 2 model Y's to store stuff in the garage? sounds like a very expensive storage solution :D

[@eamon9447]

Spot on re the pre-delivery clean. I bought black (because it's the best colour) & I know it's going to be a nightmare to keep, however I did expect it to be okay day 1. It wasn't. Pre-delivery clean was crap: dirty arches, dusty paint, water spot glass but the swirl marks on the paint were the real disappointing thing. Spent a day with my son washing & polishing it and by the end it was gorgeous but come on Tesla, this is your responsibility. BMW & Audi know how to handover a car in absolutely showroom condition & this is what is also expected from Tesla as a premium vehicle. Great videos keep up the good work Richard.

That's it, you've lost your mind 😂😂😂 Really enjoyed it!

[@stuartvasepuru1423]

Ha ha, Richard, I love how you turned the centre console into Mary Poppins' carpet bag! Seriously though, there were a few things I didn't like about my Model 3, but they were easily fixed and will work on a Model Y. So, for other DIY enthusiasts, here's how to do it... 1. Sunglasses/specs holders: It should be illegal for any manufacturer to sell cars which don't have a holder for your sunnies! Fortunately, it's easy to stick the hard cases they came in to the lower dashboard on either side of the steering wheel using double-sided body mounting tape. 2. Anti-glare trim patches: The white interior is great, but on sunny days the ends of the dashboard trim panel reflect into the side mirrors, obscuring the view. To fix, simply stick a piece of matt vinyl (or Alcantara fabric in "anthracite", if you want to match the door trim exactly) over the last 15cm on either side. 3. Right Side Footrest: Autopilot is great, but you still need to keep your right foot handy for emergencies. Unfortunately, there's nowhere convenient to rest it close to the pedals. I got a length of 25x25mm aluminium box section in satin black (with plastic end caps) and mounted it at the same angle as the pedals (but 5mm closer to me) using double-sided body mounting tape to the plastic side panel. Now if I need to, I can slip my right foot off the footrest and onto the accelerator or brake pedal very easily. 4. Non-slip floor mats: My Mazda3 had better mats than the Model 3. Why? Because they had two plastic grommets at the rear which fitted over raised studs in the floor to stop them moving around. However, it's not that difficult to make your own from a couple of short 10mm bolts (with large flat washers and a black plastic end cap) and fit them into the carpet using double-sided body mounting tape and impact adhesive. Cut two holes in the mat and glue in a couple of grommets that are a push fit onto the end caps of the bolts. Top tip: to get the position right, fit the mat grommets first, then position the mat correctly in the footwell and mark the holes for the bolts.

[@dazzap1782]

I nearly cancelled my order after test driving one on 20" wheels. Was very relieved the 19" wheels felt noticeably more comfortable. After 1200 miles my average is 271 Wh/mile. Minor niggles aside I agree.. a very good car.

I've said before, the next iteration, when the Germans tweak the suspension on the 4680 version, will be even better.

[@tubelator]

They won’t. It needs airsuspension option.

[@AllanSustainabilityFan]

They could just be opting for sporty suspension in the vein of BMW's design philosophy. But maybe that would change for their CUV model based on consumer feedback, who knows, I recall they did tweak it before after some customer feedback, back in 2017. Alternatively they could also just offer air suspension as an option down the road.

Why would Berlin make RHD cars when the whole of Europe is LHD and China is already tooled up and is producing both 3 and Y?

[@AllanSustainabilityFan]

@@Durzel Maybe proximity would make it worth the trouble - should they choose to do so. Would help reduce the logistics and emissions challenges related to shipping by sea across multiple continents.

I will be taking delivery of my midnight silver metallic and white interior hopefully sometime in April. After over 200 KZbin videos, (no hyperbole), I feel I'm ready for just about anything that could happen.

[@suzesiviter6083]

One minor crash and the Tesla will explode and kill you, there are thousands of videos showing them going up like a firework and the emergency services cannot put the Lithium fires out, would you put faith in a battery at £3?, it only needs one to fail out of the 100,000 or so to wreck your car, possibly other cars near it and kill you.

[@OnlineMD]

My wife's Model 3 (2018 model) is a fun and delightful car overall, but I have an issue with one thing: THE RIDE. As a child growing up in India (we have lived in the USA for 45 years now) I remember riding in BULLOCK CARTS. Well, I hate to say, the ride on our Model 3 is slightly reminiscent of those bullock carts!!! NOT THAT BAD for sure, but I have driven a variety of cars and Minivans and SUVs over the years, and ride on the Model 3 is the worst. We have a service scheduled next month (first service ever!) and we plan to ask for a thorough check of the suspension. From comments on KZbin, I've heard that newer Teslas have a better ride. Ours has 18 inch wheels with regular all-season radials.

By the way, your videos are great as is. I've always found them very informative and not dry. No need to add humor, just stay true to yourself imo.

[@84wrquattro]

Thanks. Another informative review. I'm a Model 3 owner and the one comment I would make about ride quality is efficiency. The energy used to compress a softer spring or air system would be energy lost to the drive chain. So I agree there are times when a softer ride would be more comfortable. But I continue to be amazed by how efficient the Model 3 is and feel that the ride is one of the reasons. Keep up the good work

[@MrQwerty3000]

I haven't seen any studies on this but my guess would be that the effect on efficiency of a looser ride is negligible and unlikely to be a factor in Tesla's decision on suspension settings. More likely they've gone with a firm ride due to the performance of the cars, it's easy to forget that even a mid-range Tesla is close to supercar acceleration.

[@Tanax13]

Ha ha!! Both the twig stuff and the storage joke was awesome. More of those stuff! Love British humor ;) Great review, agree with everything. I'd also add that it would also be great if, while in "sports mode", you'd get more road feedback through the steering wheel on top of stiffer suspension and firmer steering.

I finally took the plunge and ordered an LR yesterday! Dark blue metallic, black seats, 19" wheels. I'd been holding out in the hope of getting a Berlin-built one - as much for the lower carbon footprint of shipping it as for the new casting or battery. But given the current state of the world and my own situation, I decided now was the time to go for it. Still. There are four months before the expected delivery, so you never know….

[@bdtang]

Absolutely agree the Y is great for families- the height makes getting a toddler in and out significantly easier than in a model 3 and the trunk space (while it slopes quite drastically) still fits 2 good sized dogs (love dog mode). We have the 7 seater version and the additional seats have come in handy a number of times where we wanted to take one car vs two with friends (great for kids and ok for adults up to ~5ft 5).

Thanks Richard for this video and the others in the run up to the Y launch - I watched them all! I picked up my Model Y on Monday and I have to say that my experience is really negative and it appears I'm not the only one. I went from a Model 3 to this Y. I got the 19" wheels and the main issue is this booming, horrible low bass, resonating sound in the cabin which happens even at 10 mph. Something is vibrating and it's reverberating across the whole car. I've seen lots of posts from Model Y users all the way back to 2020 with the same problem. I posted a video on my channel about it - I'm absolutely not a KZbinr!! But it at least covers the point. I also recorded the DB levels in the car. Honestly what I've ended up with is not driveable beyond 30 minutes as my ears are dead by then.

I dont like the wobble you about suspension that you get if your sitting up further from the road on hard suspension so looks like the S is still the one for me.

I saw the early reviews talking about the harsh ride. I opted for aftermarket 18" wheels. A big difference from the 19" wheels. A lot more rubber, and with a tad lower air pressure it actually handles small bumps much better.

My (US) Tesla Y came with Continental tyres. I’ve never been a big fan of them in the past (although I love their bicycle tyres)… I once had a SAAB 93 Aero that blew through a set (despite regular rotation) in under 15,000 miles. That said, I’m seeing good wear (8,000 miles so far). I chose the 19” wheels, on advice from my Tesla dealership, as it happens.

Excellent review. Totally spot on. Only one cticism is that you are wrong about the headlights in terms of the ability to adjust the two headlamps for foreign driving and for general glare avoidance. This is not automatic but can easilly be adjusted in the service menu. You did say that tape would be required, not so. Both lights can be fully adjusted independently. I had to knock my lamps down a few notches to sop getting flashed by oncoming traffic.

[@RSEV]

You can change the position of the lamps, but you can’t switch beam pattern for driving on the other side. Just lowering them isn’t really a good solution.

I had a 2019 X5 and my brand new model Y LR (19) is far better for ride/handling ( I have a 520D as well ) …. Honestly Richard, I don’t understand complaints about the ride.

You complaining about the ride comfort made me laugh. I owned a '93 Ford Ranger pickup truck. I wanted to put knobby tires on it, so that I could get around in the snow. I selected the "BF Goodrich All Terrain Radial Tires" in the 31' diameter size. Of course, there was no way that these "Monster Truck" tiires were going to pass the wheel-wells on my truck without some modifications. I bought a lift kit from "SUPERLIFT" in Monroe, LA and lifted the suspension 4". This included extra-long, heavy--duty coilsprings in the front. Now, the front of my truck was 4" higher than the rear. It looked like it was "popping a wheelie" as it rolled down the street! T o make the rear the same heigh as the front, I added an extra leaf spring to the rear end. When I finished, the 31 inchers fit like a dream, and I was very pleased by the look of my "Little Monster" truck! The ride was a different story. When I picked up a business associate of mine, he immediately complained. "It's a ROCK!" He cried as we bounced down the road over Chicagoland's potholes. My lady refused to ride in it, telling me "Nobody loves the truck!"

Gotta say, it's a beautiful car. Wish i could afford one lol!! Would probably go with the 19 inch wheels.

One minor crash and the Tesla will explode and kill you, there are thousands of videos showing them going up like a firework and the emergency services cannot put the Lithium fires out, would you put faith in a battery at £3?, it only needs one to fail out of the 100,000 or so to wreck your car, possibly other cars near it and kill you. No one with any kind of experience/knowledge in Lithium batterys would buy a Tesla, its a dumb move.

@@suzesiviter6083 100,000???? Think there are only about 7000 cells in a Tesla. Cell phone batteries burn/explode, laptop batteries burn/explode, petrol burns/explodes. Don't be a Ludite, all new tech has problems but we must move forward.

[@suzesiviter6083]

@@stuffedwalrus Good tech doesnt explode my friend, you cant just welcome in tech just because its new if it doesn't serve the purpose, in this case cars crash all the time, so not exploding on a crash is pretty damn important I'd say, call me old fashioned.

@@suzesiviter6083 So are you saying you don't use a mobile phone, laptop or tablet? They all contain lithium batteries! You can't tar everything with the same brush.

[@suzesiviter6083]

@@stuffedwalrus Good point, difference is the total number of cells, there is more chance in 1 in 7000 failing than say 1 in 10 failing, much higher probability, plus those batteries are not subject to the vibration and hostile environments they go through inside a car. Plus of course just dropping your laptop is unlikely to burst the battery bank, but on a Tesla its the entire bottom of the car that's vulnerable to crashes.
