The BEST Family Tesla Showdown. 7-Seat Model Y or Model X?

[@earthzero7]

This is probably the best model comparison I've seen between the two. Focused on space and practicality rather than performance and range. Great job!

[@tjb4492]

i agree

[@ashnun8811]

Definitely agree. The 7 seater is the way to go even if you’re not going to use everyday is there in my opinion

[@josader81]

Cos mums know whats important ;)

[@lawnside82]

Hybrid Pacifica is looking really good….

[@norhafizuljohar5975]

Agreed

[@JohnnyC10071959]

08:00 the young woman in the car speaks like she is about 15 years older than she appears to be. Really well spoken.

[@chibanni14]

Yeah she looks like she barely could even be educated

[@christinanallen4575]

Thank you! She’s only 11

[@BobThe9534]

lol

[@mana9013]

@@christinanallen4575 shes impressive. Her voice is so stern and clear. She knows her stuff and isn't shy. You should encourage her n see of she wants to do youtube videos.

I wish I had parents that taught me to be like that too. I am 35 and come across as retarded.

[@Hell0Ge0rGie]

This has been the best Tesla (for a family ) review I have seen ! I have been wanting the X but couldn’t pull the trigger because of the cost. Seeing the Y and X together , it’s the Y for me. The $40k more on the X is for those doors that just aren’t practical for us. Thanks for doing this.

[@jaysantoyo6215]

The doors are extremely practical. Especially with a family when all doors open for you, and ten times easier to get in and out of the car

[@BecauseTesla]

In regards to the Model X, there are 3 seating options: 5, 6, or 7 seats. The 6 seat layout is actually MORE expensive than the 7 seat due to the captain-style chairs. Of course, the 5 seat option is the cheapest of the three if you're just looking to get into a Model X at the most affordable price. The Model X will also have an adjustable air suspension for a smoother ride and you can raise or lower it to get in and out of steep driveways. So the X is larger in physical size, larger battery, air suspension, falcon-wing doors, gauge cluster behind the steering wheel, more technology like auto presenting doors that open and close, etc. These are the things to consider if the price difference is worth it to you. Oh, and Rodriguez daughter...superstar!

[@antonioguzman4766]

finally the video that everyone has been waiting for

[@impitt28]

Lmao

[@themightymonarch777]

I’m a single guy with no kids I don’t really have need for these vehicles but I’m really impressed with the actual in-depth practical review if I was looking for something like this this is exactly the way I want someone to review it.

[@gruivis]

So baby girl's first car will be self-driving, that's just amazing. Back when I was her age, power windows were an option and I had to walk a mile in the snow to school. LOL

[@hugoboss1782]

Cliché

[@misc5831]

17:03 It always makes sense to get a tow hitch. It's only a few extra dollars on your payment. I am not a big fan on White interior because it gets dirty looking over time. Especially with kids.

[@rgalv3]

With us having two kids aged 2 years old and a 7 month, the Y provided us enough space. Depending on how big the family, I see the Y dominating for most families at that price point. This video has me excited for our delivery date!

[@mugsy201]

This video has been extremely helpful since I have a third kid on the way and I'm trying to decide between a model y with a third row and a model x with a third row. Thanks kim!

[@sleepy314]

Thanks for putting someone in the back seat to give a real picture of what its like.

[@_hello_sunshine]

The X is still the one I prefer. I would love to get the new refresh version with that same 6 seat configuration you have.

[@evilflowx]

How cute is the Rodriguez family! The daughter stole the show. :)

[@kechen21]

Yeah she is so well spoken!

[@kabysummit5801]

The little brother too!😂

[@scarlettto7732]

As a mom of 3 toddlers/babies , I would go for model X 6 seats because I won’t be able to put down most of the seats anyway. I got 3 car seats and need to go to the back to check their seatbelts.

[@SCWgreg]

I love you ladies! Great recap. Trying to get my wife to give up her Enclave. We already have the Performance version of the Y (for me), but if I could get her to give up the ICE, I’d trade for the 7 seater and pick up a 3. Thank you.

[@jessblue112]

Thank you for your honesty about the car. Saving up to get Model Y.

[@RecruitedAndrew]

I recently purchased a Y for my family, the kids love it lol

[@shelbyallison2016]

Just placed an order for my 7 seater Y and this really helped me decide so thank you so much. I'm so excited!!! Love the white on white 🤩.

[@salocin911]

This is so useful for PARENTS! We were considering a toyota highlander, but I think we could make this work! Thanks Kim!

[@blaskotron]

Also air suspension on x and ability to reduce the regen.

[@strykerace]

my only major concern for the model y 7 seater is what happens if you have older child or small adult in the back seat and the Model Y hits a big bump. How hard is that impact on the back roof/window going to be if the kid/adult bouncing hits. Also I wonder what the impact to EPA range would be for fully loaded (7 people with stuff) vs 1 person with no stuff. I am guessing that EPA tests with no stuff.

[@cordareoswait4273]

This is the exact video I have been waiting for. I am stuck in my lease for a while but as soon as it up i am getting my MY 7 seater

[@BryceLovesTech]

Thank you for doing this review. I love cargo comparisons that’s the real important thing for families.

[@JasonParham83]

This just sealed the deal for me. Just scheduled my model Y test drive.

[@AndJusticeForAll23]

Family of six with a Sienna and model 3. At 6’6” and using the easy entry on the 3 no one wants to sit behind even our smallest child. Also the 3’s belts in the rear are a pain with boosters. For what the X costs I would need Sienna type room in all 3 rows. Wish they would have made an X XL or something.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Yeah, these cars just aren't practical for large families. They need to make van sized electric cars.

[@leonnahobbs5054]

We’re a family of 7 and I currently drive a Yukon XL to accommodate my kids (2, 5, 9, 11, and 12) because I don’t want them cramped. They do lots of activities so I need room for sports equipment, Colorguard flags, etc. I want an electric vehicle but what’s on the market currently just won’t cut it for my family sadly

[@TheSessionCA]

this was a dope video for sure!!! Getting that new X

[@Myksgarage]

Model Y 3rd row looks super tight

[@hattijoe2]

I just got my model Y 3months ago and I love it! But if I could afford the X that’s what I would’ve chosen. It just something about the model X 🤦🏽‍♀️ the doors and it way more roomy. Btw, I love your neighborhood😍 great video!

[@alng16]

Is the ride quality harsh?!

[@paranoyd29906]

You guys did a good job of showing in real time the space in these vehicles, I have been eyeing these things hard and honestly feel that for my families need, it would be best to save the money on the bigger car and get the smaller car

[@benson827]

This is actually extremely informative. Thanks

[@robinle2971]

Best practical Tesla review videos. I prefer this over those tech, performance and etc.

[@TEDISKABONG]

Kudos on a superb video. Perhaps one of the best comparisons out there on KZbin. I am on the fence about any sort of Tesla as a father of 3 little kids (6/3/6 weeks). This is making my decision path more comfortable. Appreciate your hard work on putting this together!

[@larryruffin4546]

What did you end up getting? I’m in your same boat with ages in our kiddos?

[@petestan]

You can adjust 3rd row leg room in the Y while you’re sitting back there - just hold the button on the shoulder of the second row seats and move them forward or back.

[@QUiNTiNBANKS]

ThNk you !

[@TeslaHo]

oh man.. that smart kid can speak much better on camera than I can 😅... Id subscribe to her if she ever makes a channel.

[@tabottietjen3186]

I have a 3, soon to be Y so I would buy the Y but I still think the X is the best looking Tesla. It just looks so badass to me. Y has better charging and tech

[@roake0331]

Tow hitch is a must for the model Y. Roof racks brings down the range. Aerodynamics.

[@G.to.the.A]

Is there an ac vent for the 3rd row? Is the trunk glass going to feel (very) hot in the middle of the day? I don't see the 3rd row very comfortable.

[@christinanallen4575]

It actually is really comfortable at least for me in the back, the glass in the back is not very hot. I am 5 feet tall and it is very comfortable.

[@cordareoswait4273]

@@christinanallen4575 How is the lighting at night for the third row? I noticed that there isn’t any lighting back there either.

[@brookeh727]

@@christinanallen4575 now that you’ve had the car a little while, how is the 3rd row? I did a test drive with my 4 kids and everyone hated it. I’m so bummed.

Nice to finally see a BIPOC in a Tesla video!

[@Batternbaked]

Thank you so much for this video! Hands down the best comparison for us to make our decision!

16:06 Oh I definitely knew this. I'll never know what warm hands feel like. - Me, a 2020 Model Y Owner :(

[@KirbyZhang]

was looking for a comparison of the suspension and how the ride feels between the two

[@94bkf]

Very cool and informative video! Thank you

[@jP-nw7nm]

Going with the Y headlights and trunk on point!

[@jasonfournier]

Model Y much more room than I thought possible. Very useful video.

[@sherwinm]

you should sit on the passenger side of the 3rd row. I couldn't fit my feet under the seat. the rails won't let me put my feet/shoes side by side. the driver side is "larger" because the rails are supporting the left and mid second row seats, hence it's wider. the passenger side rails is supporting only the right side 2nd row seat. the rails are closer together. the only way to "set" my feet on the floor (while on the passenger side 3rd row seat) is either pushing the 2nd row seat forward to get more room and putting each feet on each rail. Or putting my left foot in front of the driver side 3rd row seat and my right foot in front of me. I'm not tall, 5'5" with size 9.5 shoes. did I miss a technique in how to sit in the 3rd row?

[@MrCanoemountain]

Great comparison. Already sent to a friend. Love moms in ripped jeans!!!!

[@BobThe9534]

lol

[@Tomm9y]

The Model X needs to be stretched a little and include adaptable 2nd row seats. Time for a Model X Max!

[@zackjames2381]

and make it taller

[@LAA2198]

Both great cars. For those who like sleek minimalist look, then the Model Y is suitable for them. For those who like more noticeable options, then Model X is suitable for them.

[@letsmakegames947]

1:03 what about the Tesla roadster

[@ChicagoTechGuy]

I have 3 kids with a model 3. The Y is nice, but for $20k more I couldn’t justify it only being 10% bigger then the 3. No complaints

[@sahajpatel1553]

Going for my Y test drive in Roswell today!

[@mpenlandmoto]

Good comparison. Wish you would have compared front storage.

[@cameronbarnes5882]

Do a side video of the Y and a group of 7 people getting in going to a location getting out, then all getting in, mix the seating up and video back and the pros and cons, then do it with the X

[@SuperMixedd]

I wonder if the middle 20% section of the second row of model Y can be removed entirely so as to mimic the 2nd row captain seats of model X?

[@Cole-nu8gh]

That second row is vertical on the recliner, the idea is that you move it forward and recline it a bit. Great content!!!

[@aportraitontech5218]

Great comparison of the space within the X and Y! Good explaining the measurements, and the impromptu activity of everyone.

Just took a test drive of the Model Y 7 seater. The 3rd row was useless. Even my 5 yr old was so uncomfortable sitting back there even with the 2nd row seats moved forward. As a 5 seater the Model Y is super spacious.
