Why I hate my Tesla, 2 Years Later

[@nickschwendeman8775]

Come on. You HATE it, but you bought another one?? I don’t think you understand what "hate" means. This is pure clickbait.

[@michaeljozwiak25]

Maybe you did not hate your 2021 Tesla. Maybe you just liked it, but did not love it. If you hated the 2021 Tesla, you would not have leased a 2023 Tesla.

[@FranklinReid_]

yea I though about that, lots of hesitation in the purchase of the 2023 model and significant buyers remorse.

[@GetToThePointAlready]

Hate would mean that you would do anything to replace the car. The fact that you're still keeping it is testament that you don't actually "hate" it. You at least tolerate the car.

[@send2dwight]

Sooo… clickbait or hypocrite, which is it?

[@CookandBakewithSamer]

Thank you for sharing. If not a Tesla in couple years, what are you thinking? For me considering luxury, I’m thinking EQE. What do you think? I know range is less.

[@FranklinReid_]

Im actually considering a Rivian RT1, but im waiting on Rivian to switch over to Tesla North American charging standard. The EQE and EQS range is wayy to low I agree.

[@CookandBakewithSamer]

I need to see an EQE with real life test range and not just with calculations. What do you think?

[@FranklinReid_]

​@@CookandBakewithSamer I test drove the EQE during a Mercedes event they had, I personally felt like it was pretty heavy and not as nimble as the Tesla. however it was super luxurious and def more my type of car from the interior.

[@CookandBakewithSamer]

@@FranklinReid_ I’m thinking to test drive an EQE tomorrow to see how it feels. I know it felt real good to sit in it in any of the outer seats. Thanks for info. I appreciate it.

This is a huge gimmick. I do not wash stupid iPad in my car iPad. I have something separate it is a distraction.

[@Ridgerunner2270]

I don't think you really know the meaning of the word hate. If you really hated it, you would not have gotten another one.

[@pkerry12]

The 2023 models are highly quailty now

[@FranklinReid_]

I'll agree the 2023 models are better quality than my old 2021 but I honestly would not say they are high quality.

[@pkerry12]

@@FranklinReid_ the shanghai made ones are higher quality than the American made ones mainly many asian countries and Australia have high build standards that would be why its law to have ultrasonic sensors in 2023 tesla models

[@ty2007]

Hey Fran,. I love your honest video. I think your review is probably the most honest review I've ever seen about a model y or any Tesla for that matter. I had a model y for a year and also hated it. Well, I didn't hate it, but there were some things I hated about it, in fact I'd say detested. I traded in my Tesla for an ioniq 5, then purchased a Polestar 2 which I still own and I adore more than anything, then traded in the ioniq for a gv60 performance, which was a nice car but then traded it in for a bolt as I was making money on my trades and was able to pay for the bolt cash. The bolt is actually a very cool car and I enjoy it in many ways more than the model y if you can believe it. The model y of course beats it in performance and such but I like that the bolt has buttons and switches etc. This brings me to what I hatee... A) No windshield wiper stalk ...this I detested. B) no HVAC buttons and no physical levers to adjust airflow on HVAC. Again, detested this. C) no cross traffic sensors. I honestly can't believe everyone gives Tesla a pass on this. It is imo a standard safety feature which almost every car has except for Tesla. D) no 360 camera. Again, just mind blowing E) no rear wiper F) auto wipers suck big ones. This is because they are too cheap to put a rain sensor in the car and rely on cameras. To the fanbois that say they don't have problems with this, even Elon admitted they are not good. G) plastic seats H) plastic seats that are not ventilated I) no "avoid highways" in maps. Here is where I have to disagree with you. You said maps is good. I think they suck. What is you want to take a scenic route somewhere? Can't be done if Tesla figures the highway is the more efficient route Of the 5 EVs I've owned, the Tesla is the only one I wouldn't buy and the only one that had things I truely hated about the car. There are other things I didn't like such as not being able to talk verbally to service, paint chipping easily, a few build quality issues.

[@TechTunerLife]

Frank dropping booms on Tesla💥 You keeping it real brother. Keep it up 👍

[@FranklinReid_]

Thanks man!

[@ron8979]

You should have got a X. I did and i love it. Im on 3 years of owning it. When they give me a loaner for taking it in for service, whether its a 3, S, or Y, i hate them. They are not the same….at all. 384 miles of range baby an much more

[@FranklinReid_]

you know maybe thats the move, the price tag gives me a bit of sticker shock and I didnt see were the extra 40k was going but maybe I'll check an X out thanks!

[@CookandBakewithSamer]

You have to have the budget for the Model X, plus you loose the big tax credits. The X is a great vehicle

[@FranklinReid_]

@@CookandBakewithSamer Yea the Model X seems awesome, but that price tag.

[@NavarroOne]

Just yesterday in my native Denmark, Tesla installed 40 superchargers. The network is constantly evolving. That said I charge more than 95% at home so I have little need for superchargers and I dont have much concern about charging. I love the sporty handling of my model 3 and can imagine the big Y feels less nimble. Mine has the Ryzen so very fast. I’d love to see a fresh video on your new Y; has your concerns about quality and processor speed etc been addressed in the newer car, given the constant evolution of Tesla. Do you have new concerns?

[@FranklinReid_]

The super charger network my far is the best part about buying a Tesla. I am actually shocked they opened it up to everyone else , but lad to see they are making global stride to grow the network not just here in the USA. Ryzen is much faster and makes the extra features of the infotainment system useable but considering from 2021 - 2023 I lost USS, and got softer much worse suspension along with a few other challenges id say Tesla is moving backwards related to improvements.

[@NavarroOne]

@@FranklinReid_ the M3 definitely didn’t get softer, perhaps you should consider next time to get a sedan rather than a huge SUV if you like a firmer ride and better handling; a massive body is anathema to sporty handling

[@mjcapinto]

So you don't like your Tesla for it being an electric car (charging and planning) and its quality (perceived quality on materials, paint quality). With that, you got another one... so you don't hate Tesla nor the model Y, you love it so much because all other cars, including ICE, no longer fit the bill. Click bait?

[@FranklinReid_]

I understand your perspective, I dont consider it clickbait as I really do hate it. In fact I actually picked up a 2nd car just so I dont have to drive it on the regular. But yea didnt hate it enough not to get a 2nd one, you are correct.
