[@tcalingay]

I just got my 2021 model Y I noticed that 12 volts to power air compressor in emergency is not available.

[@MrGuillermoVega]

Hey where did you get those red Tesla logo decal on your wheels?

[@manu4ever249]

@@augustc3659 definitely not 5%. I had this for 2 months and only once I had to open tesla app to unlock it. And it is only with unlocking. Locking works everytime when u are away from the car.

[@mountainlightwoodcraft]

Ryan, I took delivery of my 2021 Model Y LR three weeks ago and was very pleased to discover that the build quality was flawless. Before I left the dealership, I looked it over from front to back and top to bottom and did not find one thing that alerted me in any way. After 3 weeks of driving it, nothing has changed. It is easily the best car I've ever owned, and I've had Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, and Lexus. It isn't the most luxurious, and it isn't the most comfortable ride, but it is by far the best vehicle as a whole. It's also way faster than my M3 was, and that's saying something. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I bought my Model Y in large part because of your KZbin channel. Thank you and keep posting.

[@s95033]

I've owned the MY for 2 months. I have the 19 inch wheels and even with those, the ride is excessively firm. Also, autopilot doesn't work on the very winding mountain road in the Bay Area where I live, but I expect it to improve over time. I've had none of the issues reported about the earlier builds (panel gaps, rattles, etc.). Overall I love the car. Will never go back to an ICE vehicle.

[@simplelife4213]

[@craigscott7760]

Charlottesville to Douglas GA, new model Y. Fully agree on the suspension. Trip - stay 2 days, driving 30-40 miles each day around Douglas and then returning. I can certainly get there, but the problem is getting back. No destination charging at any hotel. It is possible, but just too risky Nearest supercharger or charger of any type is > 1 hour away. Not even a 120V place to plug in and I called the hotels. Maybe I could find a welding shop with a 240V plug... I don't think it's fully possible YET to ditch my other ICE car. A year or two more? Maybe.

[@praveensg]

Just ordered my Red MY. Cannot wait for it to be delivered in 2 weeks.

[@iPhil77]

For the supercharger network use the taper charge cycle for the entire trip, meaning you charge until the charge start to slow then unplug it then go to the next charger and repeat the process. Look at out of spec motoring for the premise of taper charge cycle.

[@WestCoastAce27]

Great full review. My only beef and you’ve done this before: Model 3’s are not ‘luxury cars.’ Did the research before I bought mine last year: the average new car was $36.5k - so if someone had the self-control not to add $10k of upgrades it’s only slightly more.

[@andromeda9340]

Tesla is defined as a luxury brand according to most internet sources.their cars are premium.model 3 base price is 35k but you wont find one with that kind of money(unless you go used or ask off menu)since they go around 45k to 50k when optioned out :)

Nice video. I took delivery on my model 3 February 23, 2020 so I have been following along with you and your videos.

[@sedokimm]

man im waitin and saving for a model s but after watching this i want a Y now!

[@incognitotorpedo42]

The S is really nice. It's very practical, too. You can get a lot of stuff in the back with the rear seats folded down. I've hauled 8 foot lumber with the hatch closed. You can even sleep back there. The Y looks pretty good too. I really need to drive one. I'm not really in any hurry to give up my S though, unless I'm getting a new S.

[@benmaule2061]

Hi, can you talk about battery degradation? And actual range compared to advertised range as I've heard that the actual range can be sometimes 10% lower than advertised.

[@stevedowler2366]

Thanks Ryan for the updated review. My current 2018 Subaru has a feature with which I can push a button on the steering wheel and then speak a command from a fairly complete list. For example I can call someone on the phone as long as my phone is cabled to the car via USB or I can "navigate" to some location. I'd like to see Tesla add this kind of feature to reduce the number of times my attention is diverted from the road to pick out an icon on the screen. The Subaru feature set, called "insight" or something like that is on a number of other car makes as well. Cheers, S.

[@Brittphalen]

I believe my model 3 can do the same. I’m not sure how extensive the list is, but I can definitely press the right scroll wheel and ask it to call or text someone when my phone is connected via Bluetooth.

[@NOMATIC]

Thanks for sharing, Ryan! Awesome review.

[@stevefrank733]

Have you heard if Tesla will ever change the screen mount so that it swivels horizontally left to right so it can be viewed easier by the driver or passenger ? I know there is a kit that can be installed to allow easier viewing.

[@paulreed912]

Great review, really well presented

[@TheLotw]

Lucky you could get one. I would get one and drive it if I could afford one, but with the normal bills I could never afford one. I got solar for my house and 3 months later still not working cause county is holding it up.

[@mr88cet]

EPA range estimates are not necessarily optimistic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX2pnJJnirSSbKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4utk5SVpLObipY In short, the EPA allows a manufacturer to perform a comparatively-cursory calculation, and then derate that number by a standardized factor, or they can do much-more-extensive testing without a derating factor applied. Tesla’s does the more-extensive testing, so they are, largely, over-optimistic. The main consideration here is speed: You will get a considerably lower range traveling at 75-80MPH than at 60-65MPH. HVAC is not as significant as it used to be if you have a heat pump.

Me too. I've been having ongoing service issues with my Model 3 leaking rain water into the trunk from improper seals. Curious if this is also occurring in the Model Y.

[@defaultname19315]

@@Deh_Erick just out of curiosity, do you feel it’s a design issue like they just didn’t make a good way to block water, or like it’s defective/failing

[@dragonfli1023]

He has made one. It's a little outdated, but it's his third video on the channel.

[@jamesellis4899]

The model 3 is sportier slightly better handling and more efficient. The model Y is roomier getting in and out, massive amounts of storage -good handling- slightly SUV ride. The trunk in the model 3 is very large but fitting two mountain bikes inside the back is for model Y. Aside from that they are very similar-both awesome cars. I would get both, perfect for family is one of each. The performance is unnecessary for either model unless 1 sec more accelerations worth 10k each-not for me.

[@Deh_Erick]

@@defaultname19315 If I had to guess, I'd say its a design issue that wasn't corrected because of poor sealing placement. In my car, the sloped rear windshield causes water to quickly slide down and ends up rapidly accumulating between the glass and the weather striping until that area overflows into the trunk storage.

[@angelafrancis7127]

My husband and I bought a used Model S in April 2019 after trying out a Model 3 and Model S on Turo. We then made the jump to ALL ELECTRIC in September of last year when we sold our Maxima and leased a LR Model Y, same build as yours (Red/Black Interior/20 inch wheels/FSD). We haven't regretted it a minute! I even took a long-ish road trip by myself last November (Nashville to Little Rock) and it wasn't too bad at all. We had installed the outlet for faster home charging after getting our Model S, and now we just use that one charger to charge both of the cars at home. We can get a full charge on the MY in about six hours, for less than $6! Also - I totally agree on the rougher ride, especially coming from a Model S with the Smart Suspension, but I LOVE the easy entry/exit and riding higher in the Model Y.

[@rafacq]

What a coincidence, I bought a used 2015 S85D in April 2019 with 12,004 miles. It was like new! We got the premium sound system and cold weather package. Love it.

Also, if you live somewhere where roads are salted you will need to lubricate the brake caliper sliders every year or so.

[@manu4ever249]

@@andromeda9340 not because of yhe weight. Most likely because people love to smash the pedal after every stop to experience the acceleration, and that will cause tires to wear off faster. If you have good driving habbit, this is not an issue.

[@jamesbuchanan3439]

I am so glad that "very picky Ryan" (which we have seen from time to time discussing the Y) didn't show up for this one-year review, and that it is very fair, complete, balanced, and quite positive in it's overall conclusions. (We have been enjoying our Y (with standard wheels) since early last June--an early model by east-coast standards--and can say that the minuses are OVERWHELMINGLY overshadowed by the pluses of the car: it is a pleasure to own and to ride in, especially when environmental considerations are part of the analysis.)

[@nightfallgrayrs1601]

If they introduce a coupe, I will consider it. Not the Roadster, a coupe and it doesn't have to be $25000 anywhere between $35000 and $45000.

[@byronbergman8264]

I agree with Ryan about the harsh ride in the MY. After six months of ownership, it is one of the few complains that have with this car. And I also have had the car slow down dramatically while in Autopilot. It will freak you out when it happens out of the blue on a busy freeway.

Im curious. How often do you actually use public charging vs at home?

[@TeslaHo]

@@SickSkilz Well with covid going on, I really only used a Tesla supercharger maybe 5 times as I went on a few 125-150mile trips. 0 times at a public charger as I didnt need it. Realistically, 95% of the time is charged at home cause I rarely need to use 300miles of range on a regular day. Not going to the gas station seems like a "First World Problem" but dam it feels nice haha. Hope this helps!

@@SickSkilz I've only used Supercharging while on road trips. Even using a regular 120v outlet has been enough for my daily driving. Live in central AZ, been to the Grand Canyon twice and a road trip to Dallas (that was a long drive), no issues with range or finding convenient Superchargers along the way. Side note for those in AZ; The Oak Creek Canyon scenic route between Flagstaff and Sedona is amazing with the glass roof and regenerative braking.

Your phone's NFC works as the key card. You don't have to open the app. You can unlock the phone and tap the B pillar locking area, the same way as using the key card. For me this is mostly not useful but can be handy on very specific occasions.

[@petabb]

Very well review all things considered. I am a new Tesla MY owner (2+ months) and can relate to most of what you said. Maybe too early as I still love it very much so at this point, yes I would buy it again and no, not picking up the FSD option, at least not on all the Tesla I will own.

[@AaronMcFarland]

I will disagree with the stop light and stop sign recognition isn't very useful at the current time. I use it all the time and it is usually pretty accurate, maybe that one intersection out of 50 it struggles. After you drive a loaner Tesla without FSD, you definitely discover how much you miss and use it in your own Tesla. Great video though, other than that one item.

[@hnguy054]

You're a great speaker btw

[@caseykittel]

Ride might be a little stiff, but the performance in turns is way, way, way better than all those other smoother riding cars, and the reason for this IS the stiffer suspension. It’s takes turns like a nice bmw sport sedan.

[@kilgary]

I bought a Model Y in September and bought Enhanced Auto Pilot before the end of the year for $4k. It seems to come with everything Full Self Drive comes with other than not stopping at traffic lights. Paying $6k more for it to stop at lights seems ridiculous. I can always upgrade to Full Self Drive if it ever releases.

[@733DMPILOT]

I disagree with your statement about Tesla improving their vehicles after the first release. My 2021 Model X is horrid, and after having a Model 3 I wish I kept my Model 3. My autopilot FSD has tried to kill me a couple of times. not worth 10K. Superchargers are the only reason to buy a Tesla. It is very good network and now a days only takes 20 minutes. Oh and to boot. horrid service departments, and bad attitudes from their teenager service people.

[@johnl1945]

Great video, as always. I’ve been waiting for my model Y for almost 2 years, (LR RWD -LOL). So, I rented a Y on TURO for four days. I loved it. Except the hard, bumpy, jarring ride. Worse than any car I’ve owned, except the BMW i3. And certainly worse than any $50,000 car I’ve ever sat in. I love Tesla. Love. Any thoughts or advice on how to sell this to my wife?

[@mysticridge6975]

Love your reviews! Hubby bought a Model 3 and I find all sorts of excuses to drive his car instead of my new Lexus. We ended up taking a road trip from WA to Las Vegas in his car and had so much fun that we did it 3X! Love the responsive speed, sound system and the Model 3's low center of gravity in the curves. We haven't had any issues with this car. Tesla made driving fun again.

[@julianwarmington1267]

Sounds like SOMEONE needs to make their very own review video ... comparing the M3 to a Lexus, perhaps...?

[@ntphan]

Having heard so many people complaint about the stiff ride, I test drove a LR with 20 wheels. It felt sporty and nice to me; of course, most of my previous vehicles have been Honda/Acura, which are not known for softly tuned suspensions. I have LR with 19 wheel on order.

[@EdLeBeauCFIinstructor]

Ryan, I don't know what kind of a channel you have to communicate with Tesla, but I am hoping you could pass along a suggestion. The Model Y has a nice audio system (not great) but very enjoyable. It has a short coming that could be addressed with a software change. You may be old enough to remember audio receivers (a combination radio and tuner/amplifier for a stereo system). Because of the inherent power curve in these devices, they never sounded as good at a low volume as they did at a higher volume. It takes a disproportionate amount of power to make the high and low spectrum adequately and appropriately balance in volume. So on the receivers they would have a loudness button or boost button that altered the internal equalizer to raise the volume on the ends of the sound spectrum. I think it would be great for Tesla to put a button on the equalizer that would boost the volume on the low and high spectrum and low volumes. What do you think?

if i put 2 car seat in the second row, can i still get in to the third row? also have enough space to put 2 strollers? i mostly travel with a 2yrs old and a new born.

[@YeLloE-wv1lz]

Depends. You need to push up the front seat all the way up so that you have enough room for the 2nd row (right side) to push forward and then up with the car seat attached. That being said, make sure you install it via latch if possible. The seat belt installation makes it difficult to get into the 3rd row due to the seat belt itself being in the way. Hope this helps. The middle seat (if you're thinking about sticking the 2nd car seat there) is attached to the left side. They both move together. Entry overall is easier from the left side but 2 car seats make it more difficult however, there's many ways to install the car seats. Just got to find what works for you but it is possible. I tried it. 2 strollers will be dependent on what kind you have. I have uppababy vista and I had to stick it vertically inside the understorage so it's standing straight up. two smaller umbrellas would fit just fine but if you've got a monster like the uppababy vista, you're only going to be able to fit 1.

When your driving under bridges or signs, Tesla sees it as a solid object and slows down but with experience knows it can drive under it Also I heard of a story where Tesla crashed into a truck that was rolled over because it was solid and thought it was a sign or something so Tesla thought it could drive under it and in those situations you should take over

Great video as usual Mr Shaw. So I'd like to get a Model Y. Suspension thing would really annoy me however and I really want those wheels. Have you heard of a better solution than those stocks you got installed? Also how's the wind noise? :)

Sound system by "Bong and Olafson"? I'll have some of whatever you're smoking! 😉

[@lisab7040]

Your videos are very informative and helped cement my decision to buy a Model Y. I would love to see a video or get your opinion on the need for paint protection film. Other Tesla owners talk about Tesla’s soft paint and I’m debating getting a partial wrap on the front of my car.

Meanwhile in the UK and we still don’t have the Model Y

[@andromeda9340]

They are building gigafactory berlin so may have to wait a while until they start cranking out cars👍

[@dailydrivenH2]

nice video the model y long range price has gone up a bit in just a few months as of june 2021 is at 52990$

[@vickiepicky]

Hi Ryan, Thank you for your informative videos. Is the car able to detect and alert you when it’s time to for minor and major maintenances, such as time to rotate tires, change air filter, etc?

[@cazu2479]

Yes

[@florenciovela7570]

we love your show & love spacex & we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both

[@mikal4452]

Great video. Thank you for keeping bias as minimal as possible. I love Tesla, and know you do too, but being able to objectively explain the flaws is great for those that just want an honest overview.

[@JoseFernandez-wu8pj]

Agreed, this video looks and sounds like a Tesla comercial.

I owned my Model 3 for a year exactly. Verdict? Drives beautiful, but it's boring as F*. Tesla seriously needs to pay more emphasis to interior, such as interior lights and rear passenger control panel to living things up. Already considering changing for something more fun

[@traveldavid6085]

One should not be on the road for several hours, without taking a break for 30 minutes. This is Safety, not for you, but for all people around. I like that charging takes like 40 minutes and costs 8$, instead of gasoline for 80$. We live in a world that's full of stress it's not good to be driving for 5 hours straight

[@amclymon]

Do you wish you got a performance or the LR is just as good (in between the 2 right now)

[@wolfgangfohringer2504]

Hi Ryan. Totally appreciated your review. What is your experience with heat through or/and at the glass roof? The bumping would not be an issue for me but the heat from the roof as we have two kids. Thanks in advance. Cheers from Austria

[@jeffreyscharf3313]

My Y was delivered the same time as yours. This one year review is completely on point. Very honest, comprehensive report. Thank you for confirming all the little faux pas of functions. Worried it was only my car until I watched your review. Thanks.

[@gkakani]

Hi Ryan...since you mention the global chip shortage and how Tesla moved to new semiconductor chips and microcontrollers, are you aware the delays in releasing the newly manufactured model Y/3 are on hold as Tesla doesn’t have the firmware for these chips yet? My model Y along with 40+ others that were manufactured at end of April, are sitting on the lot at my local Tesla store, because Tesla will not let these vehicles be delivered since firmware is not ready.

[@NDGOCHYLD]

Omg I want a Tesla!

[@brandonanddavid5116]

Hey Ryan, I have watched several videos where you refer to your road trip video to Washington. I for the life of me cannot find the video. Can you drop a link to that video?
