Mechanic Reviews a Tesla Model Y. The TRUTH About Tesla.

A gasoline car mechanic reviews a Tesla Model Y so see what's so special about them and if indeed they are the future of the automobile.

In this video which I have been wanting to do since this reviews channel opened we take a look at a 2022 Tesla Model Y Dual Motor.

First we look at the technology that makes Teslas special from their thermal management system to the way they do things.

Then we'll take a look at the inside and outside. Some things we don't like and our final verdict on this one.

I have been doing mobile AC for over 30 years and that heat pump system is by far the best engineering I have ever seen period

“My humble education” dude you explained the physics of this car so well and for anyone to understand. Thank you and you sir are a genius.

[Braceheadon]

best car reviewer on youtube. no frills, like a lecture done by an academic level ( not boring type) explanation, seeing channels like this take over bring joy to my heart.

[JohnGeiss-ojwg]

This is the best overall review I’ve seen so far for a Tesla . I learned more about Tesla in 20 minutes than I’ve known for the last 3 years of driving one. A very comprehensive review of a most complex vehicle. Thank you.

[tallyanney]

I've watched dozens of Tesla reviews, and this is the first review that touched on what's under the hood and the practicalities. Thank you, i'm a big fan especially on the Lexus and Toyota reviews.

I have had my Model S for 10 years. Other than a new set of tires, I haven't had to do anything. Even the brake pads are still original. Amazing isn't it?

An honest review done by someone who actually knows how cars work. 99% of other car "reviewers" wouldn't know where to begin if they wanted to remove the frunk lining to see what's inside the car.
Points raised about build quality and the materials are a very valid. I would also add the weird design of the wheels - you are guaranteed to damage them. The car isn't cheap so people should expect something else. I don't know what the profit margin on the MY is but M3 was something around 25% which is a lot. Some of this money could be redirected into improving the interior. I hope "Juniper" will be a big step forward since, like you said, other car manufacturers will eventually catch up.
With that being said, I would rather have a car with awesome tech and cheap interior rather than the other way round.

Your attention to detail is WHAT I LIVE FOR - my attention to detail is insane so I appreciate your perspective SO MUCH. Cannot wait to watch all of your videos!!!

What is extremely impressive is that the two electric heaters that heat the coolant are actually the electric motors. They tune the timing of the magnetic field in the motor so that it is less efficient and uses more energy thus creating more heat.

[NierAutomataB]

Can't believe I only just discovered your channel now. Your reviews are the best on youtube, professional, honest, no fluff and to the point. Respect!!

Good and fair review. I purchased Long range model with smaller wheels in March 2023 and so far so good.
Cons:
- very minimal maintenance
- cheap to operate so far (saved a lot of $$$ on gas)
- very smart (route planning, always ready for set departure schedule, garage opener, Apple music, video integration, etc.)
- quick when need it (the ride on 19” wheels is similar to other vehicles, 21” is rough)
- smooth power delivery (I like it better than gas vehicles)
- pretty good sound system
- sentry/dash cam
- plenty of storage space
- easy to charge at home and plenty of charging locations
- kids love it the most

Cons:
- have to be mindful of efficiency because driving over 75 mph on highway or constant crazy acceleration decreases range
- some parts are manufactured using cheap material
- no spare tire

I have 2022 Model 3, both my daughters have 2022 Model Y 's. The build quality on all 3 cars is excellent. No squeaks or rattles, very good panel gaps. The difference is that we live in the UK and the cars were built in Shanghai.

[yeahmilksucks]

Again a great and professional review about a car. Been driving a BMW 530e for 5 yrs and with 150 000 miles no rattles nothings broken the interior looks like new. Now and then I've fancied a Model Y but never went for a test drive. ..your review was the best I've seen from an objective POV. Thx

[HimanshuMalhotra]

Bro, where were you all this time? Why didn't you come in my life earlier? I'm so happy to have found a single channel I can come to for a full 360 degree review. Totally unbiased and value adding. Thanks man. Keep up the good work!

1 year ago today after watching this video I just bought a Tesla Model Y 2024 for my wife! I must say it is beyond my expectation. I was on the fence but after driving it just for two days and my wife owning it for 2 weeks! I don't think there is any regrets! I don't believe if anyone who tested an electric vehicle (esp a Tesla) will ever go back to driving a non Tesla! If you're really on the edge, just go ahead and buy, you will thank me later. These cars are always getting better. Tesla, is like an iPhone Period!!!

[PulsarProductions]

I'm not an engineer but I have had a Tesla Model 3 for 5 years. I am 60 and I have never driven a car that drives and handles so well (including premium brands). Rattles and squeaks? Not in my car, perhaps mine is the exception. Zero maintenance, no more gas stations, quiet, comfortable premium driving experience. But what do I know, I only have 5 years every day experience of Tesla.

[aflautomotive]

I've been in the car business 30+ years. From consulting with car companies directly to restoring and closely working with car dealerships. Your video is the BEST, you hit the bullseye!, 100% true and most comprehensive I've seen thus far. Great job! We're going to be sharing it with everyone that ask us what do we think about buying a Tesla. Great video! Well done!

[KenWongKK]

Didn't realise their heat pump design was so unique. Thanks for the deep dive !

[ZERO_SVN]

What an awesome review. I am a tech guy and I appreciate your deeper dive into the cooling system and the follow up on build quality. A car is not like a phone; you live in it. You touch the surfaces, you feel the bumps, you breathe the air, you put things into the cup holders, the side handles, etc. And you do this for years, not months.
After extensive research and considerations, I bought and owned a Toyota Mirai (a hydrogen-electric vehicle). THAT was a beautifully executed electric car that also has a luxurious interior with great fit & finish and real car amenities (including real buttons). It's a Lexus under the Toyota badge. Anyway, it has its own struggles with Infrastructure, but that's a whole different story. After 3 yrs of ownership, I moved on (only because it was totaled in an accident). I recently shopped for a new car and looked long and hard at Tesla Y and X. I ultimately went to a gasoline GV70 as I felt EV infrastructure is not where it needs to be, especially when I don't have a dedicated garage to nicely charge it every night. Once I do, I'll seriously consider EVs again. I love that smooth, quiet driving-on-air experience of the Mirai. You are right, Tesla tech is beyond everyone else's. They should just license it to real car makers and continue to innovate on the EV drive train and software front. Let real car builders build the rest. Wait until Toyota comes out with solid state batteries. That will be the revolution the EV industry needs. For now, Tesla's 4680 Li-Ion battery is it (years ahead of competition).
Please do a deep dive review of the gasoline GV70. 🙏

Review summary Tesla = Science + Ipad + cheap Chinese plastic + hot glue 😂😂
