It is rather dishonest to talk about the 21 Tesla recalls, without mentioning how many of these were over the air software updates while the Teslas sat in the driveway.

[johna]

The single recall for bZ4X was Toyota's effort to upgrade to hub-bolts. No wheels ever fell off for any consumer. The manufacturing defect was caught by the vigorous testing reviewers did on the early release vehicles.

[PygKLB]

It's nice that Toyota has accessories one can buy for one's dog. Does it have "dog mode" like a Tesla?

[AhBeeDoi]

Wait, the Tesla MY lacks side mirror adjustments? That can't be right.

[Cakebattered]

The bZ4X has some charging issues, where DCFC more than once a day (Like on a long road trip) is No Bueno. So check the owners forums first.

[TmPGEO]

Range is not the most important metric. Instead, tell me about how much time it takes for an example trip of a 1000km

[flyboypat]

I like the short videos. Reminds me of yours original 1 minute videos. Those were my go to tesla info videos

[bjk]

Did you say the model Y doesn’t have side mirror adjustment mine sure does

[johna]

Lack of a glovebox for bZ4X is due to the feature Toyota offers that most completely overlook. In that location is an infrared-heater to provide low-power radiant warming for your legs & feet.

[Clearphish]

Model Y lacks side mirror adjustment? So when I adjust my side mirrors, I must be dreaming, along with the other drivers who have their personal profiles registered in my car. 🙂

I hate it when people call out the Tesla price changes. Tesla is the only company that advertises their true prices. The true price of every other manufacturer fluctuates way more wildly than tesla’s due to the dealership model.

[davegenet]

I’m not even a Tesla fanboy and I think the BZ4X is a perfunctory effort.

[frankcoffey]

Look it’s top selling car vs …not selling car.

[avdp]

I would choose the Bz4x....looks far better than the Tesla, as efficiënt motors, good range and issues with charging solved...far better warranty and in the Netherlands the pricing is very competitive, sakes are picking up.

[johna]

Lastly, the review didn't mention bZ4X's standout feature... its AWD handling provided by Subaru. What it delivers is quite impressive, making it a true SUV rather than a Crossover.

[mkashay]

You left out one of the most important things, how good the Tesla charging network is, and how bad the rest are.

[artemkuznetsov]

I loved that David Blane reference. Fun!

[ipower]

All of these legacy EVs look like from past century compared to high end Chinese EVs. Especially the Japanese and Korean ones can't sell in China they had to pull out. Do some reviews on true Tesla competition such as BYD and nio, xpeng EVs

[alexking]

Any plans to compare Model Y with its Chinese competitors?

[erwin-franz]

so, the model Y side mirrors cannot be adjusted? interesting. a little hard to believe…
