That seat wear is wild. I've seen Teslas with twice the mileage that have great looking seats still.

[bartwaggoner]

Thank you for the honest review - disconcerting about the battery and the pleather decomposing

[markroberts]

Hey my friend, over in the Uk and doing the same as you in an Ioniq 5, 20k miles in 6 months and touch wood no problem yet. Averaging around 380 miles real world on the 77kwt battery model. Reason why I’m watching, wife just purchased a model Y AWD long range so going to keep following and see how your car goes! Great vid keep it up 👍🏻

[zenmail]

Three battery packs!?!
That is just terrible, how are these supposed to exist off of warramty?
Thats $30, 000-$45, 000 in batteries!

[DZ-ykew]

Dude saves that he has had 3 batteries on it until the end. YIKES!!!

[bonzyb]

Wow! Early 2021 with 148, 336 miles. My white seats are in excellent condition. Even the driver seat. My steering wheel while not heated is also in pristine condition. I’m on my original battery and original 12 V. I will probably be proactive and replace my 12 V on its third year anniversary in November.

This is awesome! I know it’s late but I’ve been researching for the last 3 months and finally made the decision to buy a Tesla Model Y the blue color! I’m so excited for delivery. 🥰🥰🥰 great video!

[brendykes]

I have a blue MYLR with white seats and I do rideshare as well. Also 27k miles of road trips since Oct 2021. You may find that the white seats solve your sweat problem. They stay cool to the touch on the hottest days. My passengers always comment on the roof, but I just added a cover because on 100 degree days the A/C took hours to get it cooled down.

Great video Tollak, I think it held up really well! We agree, we need ventilated seats for sure. I’m really surprised how your paint still looks so good even without PPF. I learned something new today…. Blue Beast lol Thanks for the shout out :)

[beckyharshberger]

Really appreciate your candor, thanks for sharing your experience. So nice to hear from someone who obviously loves cars and EV (and blue!).

[stephenzerfas]

Really helpful and honest with 100k. Useful too since as you said it works and not babied. I had a Bolt too and loved it. My favorite car I have owned but eyeballing a Y LR.

[undrachvrsage]

Tftc, and a big oof on the batteries. Hopefully that's something they worked out by '23 because I'm gonna be passed if I have to replace mine that often.

[kenhiett]

I live in Utah (wide-ranging seasons/road conditions) and have Michelin Cross Climate 2's on multiple vehicles. I also love to drive and go on road trips, and these are the best all-around tires I've ever owned. Unless you're putting rubber on a high-performance sports car or off-road vehicle, I highly recommend these tires for every other use case.

[palusisko]

Greeting from Europe :-) Really the honest review of Y, thank you! ... and therefore I would like to buy VW ID4 of ID7 :-) Evs are not a cheap cars and seats have to endure more, the battery has to endure more... I know VW ID4 doesn't have such performance, such efficiency but I know, the material and equipment's quality is much better..

[darrenorange]

Kind of shocked by the driver seat and steering wheel.

[alanbuck]

That drivers seat and steering wheel durability is pretty poor. Hell, even 1970s cars with vinyl or velour upholstery held up a lot better than that for 100, 000 miles.

[Jeddin]

For your future vehicle the seats can be protected with ceramic seat protection such as Gyeon leather shield. The steering wheel and dash would last longer with protectant like 303 Aerospace Protectant. You can buy affordable tesla door sill protectors which will prevent the scuff marks and are easily placed and replaced

[WubbaLub]

Came to say the aero covers have a tendency to pop off going through standing water. Also. Really surprised the aero covers didn’t ruin your wheels. Mine are trashed from them rubbing through the coating.

[MrOktsx]

You're the 4th person I've encountered on YouTube thats had to have a battery pack in a Model Y replaced. And, you make 2nd of the 4 that have had your pack replaced twice. This is troubling for someone, like myself, that's already hesitant.

[iMotoTacticL]

100k miles on a regular gas car is only breaking in period.
