Just so you know, not all Model Ys are the same. The RWD Model Y is missing the fog lights, rear parcel shelf, and has only has 7 speakers. The LR and the Performance both have the same exact interior features but of course the Performance also has bigger wheels, a carbon fiber spoiler, red brakes, one different motor as well as different suspension.

We have had our MY LR for 2 months and it is hands down the best car we have had. The price was fantastic as low as 34k for regular range! Road noise is QUIET. Tons of room for our family of 4. Comfortable to drive and the list truly can go on!

Was looking for your review on the MY 2 months ago! 😀 we purchased the MY LR AWD due to excellent value! We basically got it 12k off MSRP back in March 2024. Loving our Tesla so far. Great review as always!

People always seem to forget to mention: especially for the price point. It has the best driver profiles- memory aircon, memory mirrors, memory sest, memory steering wheel position with easy entry Auto heated steering wheel, auto heated seats, auto dimming mirrors, auto cooling of parked car in the summer when you are parked. The app is insanely good. The best sentry mode and dash cam.

@DerekDavis213 who drives 1200 miles in a day? Are you an over the road trucker? At 75 mph that's 16 straight hours of driving, not counting stops. The charging stops are nowhere near like you describe. Stopping every 3 hours or so for 20-30 minutes is not a big deal. 1 hour of stopping over 6 hours of driving, is perfectly fine unless you're going for a cannonball record. You just plug it in and then going and use the bathroom and get something to eat and by the time you're done the car is ready to go. Not to mention the other 51 weeks a year that you waste time going to gas stations when the Model Y owner charges at night in their garage.

I was just considering this vehicle!!!

Nice review! It's amazing how many Model Y reviews there are out there which never show the glovebox or the center console, or anything else, at all! I'm surprised you see your glovebox has a printed manual inside? Mine didn't have any.

As a soon to be new parent, I really appreciate your videos. Thanks for making these!

Tesla as a car is pretty solid but it's the software/charging/ecosystem/app/whole package experience that sets it above everything else.

I had a Model 3 with 1 kid, when we were expecting our second, looked at Y’s, I’m 6’3 and it wouldn’t work sitting a seat behind me, so I got a truck. Now I have a 2024 Model X and we have 3 kids now and it fits 3 across and I can sit in a good position with a seat behind me. My 4 and 2 year olds love it and love the falcon wing doors. We tried a 7 seater Y and the 3rd row was a joke. I think you’ve tested an X a while ago, but I have a 5 seater X and if you would want to test it, let me know, I’m local to St. Louis.

Can you review a Bolt EUV???

that cargo cover can be placed upright behind the rear seats. Makes a lot more sense instead of storing it flat in the trunk.

We also have a Model Y with the 3rd row. Toddlers will probably be ok with 2 forward-facing car seats, but 2 adults would be a hard NO (heads will hit the top of car). Kinda regret getting the 3rd-row with that huge price tag. Should've just stick with the 2 row version in the video.

When showing the trunk you didn’t show how the second floor panel lifts to access more storage area. I find that area very effective for hiding items in the trunk, kind of how you can also hide things in the fronk. It is pretty effective for flat storage of hanging clothing on trips as well. Let’s say you were going fishing. With your expensive carbon fiber poles and tackle box. The poles can break down and go under the floor in the trunk, while the tackle box hides in the fronk. Not you can stop for lunch and not worry about someone seeing and wanting to steal your stuff. I had a Model X for 6 years. I actually like the Model Y Performance better.

Try to get a hold of the 7seater model Y instead

Also it has cameras when you’re parked so you can see who f*cks up your doors if it gets hit 🥰 I don’t miss my apple car play! Love the tech inside my Y. My two kiddos LOVE driving in it too. Was a great decision for my family. (6 yr old and 3 yr old) Buckle is a pain for my 6 year old but he loves his Nuna better than a booster. He can buckle himself better in it and honestly it’s safer anyways. Maybe he’ll use a booster one day 🤷🏼‍♀️
