Have gotten past the looks factor, and I will take the reliability and range and charging speed infrastructure and by all means the best tech of full self driving in a Tesla!

[dennesey]

You are a natural at reviews! Love the pace of this breakdown. Thought about picking up the Y a few years back but can't get past the possibility of exterior build issues, decent probability of visiting a Tesla service center, the subpar paint job, cheaper- looking materials throughout, the rims, full touchscreen controls, or the silhouette.

Recently put in an order for a Model Y. Was 100% sold on getting a Mach e or a Mach e GT but just about every dealership has a $10k market adjustment.... I couldn't bring myself to do it. A more efficient vehicle, with a crazy supercharger network, and a similar adjusted price point, it just made more sense to get the MYLR. Plus the standard Autopilot works a LOT better than the Ford BlueCruise since I drive about 120 miles per day.

I just purchased a white 22 model y long range, 22, 016 miles, with acceleration boost, fsd, white/black interior, for 45, 600.00. It’s the perfect car for us. As for the mach E looking better inside and out.. I guess that’s personal preference. We sure don’t think so. So worth it. The charging network and fsd on trips is a game changer for sure.

I love my model y! My fit and finish is perfect luckily but not everyone is perfect

[Iegend]

You’re telling people to consider the model Y performance but not everyone wants a stiff suspension and the performance versions. mom’s and dad’s and families that are buying those cars

I'm new to EV's, but isn't the lack of regen in the beginning caused by the battery being completely charged full? After all, regen means energy being put back in the battery, and that can't happen when it's already full. The Tesla manual also says the battery should not be charged 100%, partly because of that reason.

If you want personality (whatever that is for you), there are many places to get mods to personalize you vehicle.

Unpopular opinion: I really love the styling of the model 3 and Y. It looks really sleek and refined. So many cars out there look like dollar store toys.

[tuxedoblackcat]

I abominate how fast the autopilot wants you to check in so fast, like it's in 33 seconds or something. Cause I feel like it won't give the driver extra time to rest for awhile and not do anything until they decide when to check in or turn it off. For me personally if I was owner of Tesla, I would give the Autopilot check timing at least 5 minutes or more.

Very simple and clean design. Looks better than model 3 but not as good as a model x or s. I like a little more complex designs.

[Unknown-zsqv]

I get it, tesla has the best tech across EVs (and/or ICE) but I just cannot justify the price of the vehicle when the car has subpar interior, ride comfort, exterior gap and flush, and more. Design wise I think it's okay but this is subjective and everyone would have different opinions. The right sticker tag of the model Y should be within the range of 40, 000 - 45, 000 USD (before tax). BUT I encourage everyone to buy the car more and more since I have invested a lot in tesla stocks. I'd consider purchasing tesla after this early/alpha stage is done and tesla bumps up the overall quality and reduces the price with refined batteries in the next several years.

[SJRS]

I think if someone is buying their first electric car, its a clear choice buy a TESLA. The charging network is just ONE BIG THING that takes it all, the other private chargers are super bad. And in my opinion if you gonna buy a electric buy a tesla, feel the new thing, the minimalism, the simplicity. If you want to go for other electric brands choose the company which solely makes electric cars like Rivian or Lucid, otherwise whats the point? You better get that Mustang with a V8 while it still lasts.

[StormAutoAdventures]

Great video! I really enjoyed it, but you had me laughing a lot because of all your hand gestures that made no sense to me. I never use hand gestures when I talk, so you could imagine how that looked to me watching this 😄 Anyway, I gave your video a like 👍 Thanks for making it.

[chillgaming]

With gas prices now electric cars are becoming more enticing. How much does it cost to charge the car from empty?

[dariodelacerdakoller]

The Best car i have ever seen In my life

[BuckFush]

No track mode in the Model Y.

Also, you can change braking to "Roll" (I believe that's what it's called) and turn off regen braking... surprised you missed it, as you seem very familiar with most of the functions of the vehicle.

My Model Y, picked up Dec. 26 last year, had no panel gaps, and overall was really perfect! I do realize not everyone has that experience, but Tesla has improved on quality.

Oh... and Performance also gives the Model Y Matrix headlights, so for $5, 000, you get quicker 0-60, much nicer wheels, carbon fiber spoiler, brembo brakes, lowered suspension... it's really a great value! In fact, it's more expensive on the Model 3 for some reason!

Safety rating (all 5 * with the Tesla) and resale value should also be considered when comparing two different but similar model cars.

Thanks for a great review!
