Tesla Model Y 2020 vs 2021: How Much has Model Y Improved?

Tesla officially started MODEL Y deliveries in MARCH of 2020, and although it has only been about a year and a half since its release, several significant updates and changes have been made to the Model Y even over this short period of time. In this video, I discuss those changes.

The rate of change and improvements is amazing. No other manufacturer can keep up.
Tesla just keeps advancing the electric vehicle technology.
Better motors, better batteries, better sound system, better range, better performance, better entertainment system, better noise abatement, better build quality. They are years ahead of all other auto makers.

Thanks for the info I'm leaning towards a tesla model y 2021

[grateful]

Jonathon Stewart - Always very concise and professional - grateful

Pretty good content. One correction though, the new projector headlights are only on the performance MY and not the Long Range version. I'm not sure why this is the case since there was an internal memo from Tesla that came out to switch all MY and M3 to the new headlights by Q1 2021. However, this change never made it to the MY Long Range for some reason.

Good job. As a future Model Y buyer, I can't wait for the front and rear die-cast Y with 4680 batteries. It will probably be $60K by then. We will learn more about it when you do your 2021 vs 2022 Model Y differences video.

Soooo, what’s coming for 2022? What should come? I think: Electric tinted windows (particularly for the roof), ventilated seats, electric cooler frunk cooler, Better ground clarets (hopefully dynamic suspension), Better wheels add tires for the performance model, steering yolk, Interphase for Apple CarPlay, quieter AC/heater fan, more sun friendly colors (light green, light blue, light purple light silver), heads up display, Inductive charging system, Auto docking system for trailers, ability to tow behind an RV, … What else?

We in Europe are getting the latest interior on all our 2021 M3 and MY

I can absolutely see the US Military saying it sounds Ridiculous, But we want you to try and build it.!!!

I don’t think anyone knows how important the double layer side glass is. I remember working in a pediatric ER and we would get kids, too old to be in booster seats, that have been in car wrecks. They will have leaned just enough to have the shattered glass get between them and the seat and we would have to pluck the glass out of their back as they then got slammed back into their seats. I welcome this safety feature and wish it was mandated to be in all cars.

I am not sure I would consider laminated glass side windows more safe. How exactly are people going to be able to exit out of a window if the care flips or is on fire with jammed doors? Sure with small glass shards you might get a few minor cuts, but you wont be trapped inside.

I would definitely wait another year of implemented 4680 in use to see how they work out. It's a complete redesign and in spite of all the supposed benefits, no one really knows how will they do in real world. I am especially concerned about thermal management where I live in AZ. Dashboards in the cars left in the Sun in the Summer can reach 190 degrees F. BTW, my current Tesla model Y did really well for the past two Summers, in terms of any overheating and keeping me cool.

🤗 THANKS JONATHAN FOR THE UPDATE AND ALL YOUR HARD WORK 😓😍😍😍

[feverbull]

Most manufacturers would worry about the Osborn effects but Tesla seems to not have to worry about this problem because you’re getting a great product no matter when you buy it.

[sot]

I thought front casting will be implemented with the legacy line at Texas/Berlin.

[CausticLemons]

I wish they would expand ventilated seats like they have for heating. I live in Florida so I only need the cold stuff!

[TonyPham-Creations]

2:49 Laminated, NOT double pane glass!! Great video, thanks!

More Model variants only IF demand levels off. Ever increasing numbers mean continual downward pricing for buyers.
Some day Model 3 may become just a lower suspension version of Model Y OR air suspension so customers can lower when ever they want. And Model 3 fades away.

Where can I get myself one of those shirts you’re wearing?

[Laura-S]

Model Y 2.0 will probably start shipping in Q1 or Q2 2022
