I've not yet driven a Tesla and am renting one next month so this video was a great primer on the basics of driving one for the first time - thanks!

Great video!
I would like to add that if you have a Model Y then BEFORE you plop the rear seats down flat, make SURE the front seats are positioned far enough forward so that the headrests on the rear seats do NOT hit the back side of the front seats.

Coincidentally, I just reserved a rental Y model for a trip to Nashville, I’ve never been in a Tesla and have heard their operation is not intuitive so I searched for an instructional video and it looks like this was filmed in Nashville. Thanks.

I’m picking up my Tesla y today as well. Nervous and excited at the same time. My husband is out of town so I’m on my own.

😊 great explanation and very helpful, thanks for this content

Well Done, Matt. Well Done. This video was clear, concise and very informative. I subscribed. There are a plethora of “ Tesla Geeks “ on YouTube, but your channel “ super resonates “ with me.

Charging at home is actually the most convenient, if you can park on or near your own property. Charging time depends on the used charger and plugs (and how much you drive in a day) but should typically have no trouble re-charging the car at night. For road trips exceeding the battery range, the Tesla Superchargers (or other public chargers) are a fast way to fill the battery, about 20x faster than home charging. I bought the 2024 Model 3, which uses buttons on the steering wheel instead of steering stalks, but the rest of the video is still very relevant. I like the new slider on the edge of the touch screen for drive/reverse/park. It automatically appears at low speed, it is not required to touch the break and does a very smooth transition when changing direction without a complete stop.

Thank you brother for the very informative video. It’s my first time driving an EV vehicle and I’m happy with my purchase! I’m still learning a lot and my wife loves it too! Thank you so much.

[julzzee]

Best user experience channel for tesla, that I have found so far. Awesome work thanks

Order on Friday.. delivery next Wednesday.. can’t wait.. I’ve been studying all the videos..

[robertomnieves]

I would to have the speed odometer in front of the steering wheel, so we don't have to turn to the right to see the speed.

11:44 If you use a 240 V outlet, it's only a difference at most of 15 miles every hour, so I'd personally go with the portable one with a 240V outlet

Just purchased my 2023 Tesla Model Y Long range today and was happy i made the whole purchase and insurance from my smart phone. No pesky salesman to try and make you purchase additional crap you don't need. Love the vid ! Liked and subbed.

[MTtroutfisher]

Great video! Renting a Y this weekend. Thanks for the great footage of Nashville!

As to ride comfort it is a hit and miss depending on the model. I drove a model 3 and found it very uncomfortable, feeling ever bump on the highway, with my back seat passengers immediately telling me.

But in the model Y the comfort from suspension is sublime. I loved it and put on order that day because it makes the most sense for me as I drive for work and around my area, doing about 17k miles a year minimum.

Very informative and helpful video, thank you.
