I really like this cam angle when you talk. Thanks for the video :)

"Sorry for interrupting myself" (11:31) Bjorn you crack me up.
Also your evaluation of the driving experiences of the different EVs is invaluable.

[Bigs]

The competition for the Y is strong, but for now it’s still the car I’d choose. The 3 and Y may not be the car for everyone but for me everything just feels right.

[nihongobenkyoshimasu]

26:00 You can adjust the sound equalizer under the stereo menu.

[TriviaChallenge]

Maybe the mega casting helps with rigidity.

I received the same exact car. Agree with everything you say, except NO, Bjorn, it is NOT an ugly car. I was not fond of its look on Photos but it is very nice in person. It really look like a sci-fi kind of extra planetary vehicle, especially in white, and of course everyone has different tastes, but NO, it’s not an ugly car

Bjorn. . I had to come back and watch this. I totally agree with you. I have been driving a model S and complained about the 1 screen. But a few weeks ago I drove a model 3 and the 3 times I drove a Y in test drives. Thanks to the nice sales people. I got totally used to the one screen and when got back I’m my S. It felt cluttered and it really isn’t but man I can’t wait for my Y. I ordered it 2 weeks ago. I am a convert.

[ezpoppy]

Excellent video. Fair, specific, and interesting, Bjorn! “People who don’t want to buy a Tesla will definitely not want the Model Y.” Words of wisdom.

Hey, can you compare the MY to the… (ha! Just kidding!)

Keep up the great work.

We love our Model Y and the suspension is great around town but it can get very fatiguing on long trips. Adjustable dampers and an HVAC that doesn't stink over time would make the Model Y perfect.

The high pitch noise you mention is audible in my american Model 3 LR 2021 between 70 and 90 kph. It sounds exactly like you can here it in your video round Minute 10.

[paulkerman]

4:00 That noise is present in my Fremont-built 2020 MY LR. My wife says it's from the Hyperdrive kicking in ;)

[Beowulf]

its so strange that every third car is an ev in norway. i still get excited seeing model 3s in germany.
would probably pee my pants in scandinavia

[berthogendoorn]

update we need a ride in the 2023 Berlin edition of Model Y Long range, to see if there are improvements!

[vitchr]

Also agree. The "umph" is there also above 100 km/h in 3 and Y, especially 2021 models

[kentonian]

Bjørn You should test the car with 18 or even 17 inch wheels. Maybe a tyre agop could sponsor the test. The smaller diameter wheels would soften the ride a lot and also much reduce the running costs of the car.

[Angelboy]

I own a Tesla Y 2020 performance +. I would have loved the panoramic windshield of the X and the air suspension. The glass roof is not a big asset for me as I don’t enjoy it unless I’m sitting in the back. The glass roof would have been great if it was clear with either a integrated shade or electrostatic glass. I tried other brands and I must admit that the gear changer on the steering column is much better for back and fort driving than in the consol and as a wheel!!!

[TomazMrevlje]

@Bjørn Nyland dude! Just saw the white Model Y you are testing I assume parked in front of a hotel going through Slovenia. The car looks awesome! We own a Model 3 now. Next one will definitely be the Model Y! I waved at your Sentry recording :D drive safe and keep up the great work!

[FeatureRequest]

got a 2021 model y last december. its the best value for ur money. you get performance, tech and efficiency. sure its not luxury but its simple, practical and easy to use.

[MrGonzonator]

Maybe you should start a branded line of after market suspension upgrades for Model Y?

[teamswix]

after testdrive I must say that Y is in a higher class than id4, enyaq, a4
Sound was not something I noticed but that was maybe because of my tinnitus from listening to "tesla-modern day cowboy":)
OR maybe because it was full with stuff in the frunk and back
