Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y a BETTER performance SUV than a Mustang Mach-E GT?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Model Y is Tesla's answer to the smaller size EV SUV. This vehicle competes direstly with the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Audi E-Tron and Chevrolet Bolt EUV. This Model Y Performance is powered by (2) electric motors to produce 470HP & mated to a direct-drive transmission. On the outside you will find traditional Tesla sesign, LED lighting, 21in wheel, large brake calipers and hatchback design. On the inside you will be greeted to a minimalistic interior with a massive central infotainment system. Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y a BETTER performance SUV than a Mustang Mach-E GT?

The acceleration NEVER gets old. I bought this one Joe. Daily drive from Daytona to Orlando everyday and love it. Charge at home. $15 a week in electric for 500 miles and that’s why I bought one. That right scroll wheel is voice assistance and will handle just about everything inside the car. I use the app via iPhone as my key so no more keys to lose or forget. Glad u drove it and liked it!

My mom bought one after driving my Model 3, she absolutely loves it. Her good friend also just bought one after driving hers and there other friend just ordered one as well. These things sell themselves, no need for advertising, there is like a 8 month wait on these if you ordered today, thats how large demand it. It does so many things well, the ultimate daily driver imo, not to mention the lack of maintenance costs and gas savings over the lifetime of the car. I've had my model 3 for 3 years now, I drive 100 miles or so a day for work, only thing I've done is change the tires once, autopilot for long drives is a game changer and it still drives like the day I drove it off the Tesla lot.

@@pdboomin2 When you but from Tesla, you are buying directly from the manufacturer, no middle man involved. No mark up as supposed to other automakers who have to sell to a dealer which in turn sales it to the consumer with a markup. Rivian and Lucid motors are doing the same thing. Direct sales. However, in some States the law prohibits direct sales because it hurts the dealerships since they can't make money on the transaction. I think Ford eventually is going to fight to be able to sell directly to the consumer. That will help Ford to be even more competitive against those who have the upper hand by cutting out the middle man.

If it’s $9 you might say it’s $10 it’s $19 you might say it’s $20. if normal conversation gives you a puzzling feeling? You may need a life coach?
The MSRP is $65K. $75K when you add full-self driving. Majority of the biggest Tesla fans would agree it's not worth $10K. Just putting all the info out there.
I own one of these, truly believe there isn’t a better car under $70K available. And this is far beyond the Mach E, not even close. Great video as always, lots of features you would learn if you had the car a couple of weeks and it’s not a $75K car, it’s a $62K car

I don't I've EVER heard you squeal so much while doing a test drive! Absolutely Fantabulous work, as always, Lori! Thank you for being so thorough with your reviews. 😘
So as a Tesla model y owner with acceleration boost upgrade. It makes a great daily driver. Probably the best, because it is great at merging in with traffic and getting around slower cars. Also driving back and forth to work, I prefer serenity. Now as a week toy, not as good, because you missed the noise and drama. I couldn’t afford a weekend toy anyway. No oil changes or scheduled maintenance, so huge savings in that department. I charge at home. With my previous vehicle, fillip every two days, $45, now with charging from home, $12 dollars ever two day. The key is the ability to charge from home.
Another home run video Joe my man! You and Lori are banging em out and I'm loving it. You got me torn between the Model Y and the Mach E GT.
Great vid! That blue performance looks good! Although they try seeping costs low, Tesla should consider some interior and exterior updates, & ventilated seats

When you were doing the test drive in the Model Y, what was the chime for?
I have the same spec Model Y Performance with white interior. It’s one of my favorite of 4 Performance Model Tesla I’ve owned . 2) True, power will drop in this generation as SOC drops but Plaid has solved that issue and it will trickle to the Model Y and 3 next year . That’s my biggest complaint of an ev similar to an ice car running in less dense or warm air. 3) Nah the mashing of throttle NEVER gets old !!4) It needs adaptive suspension ! You’ll miss the torque tomorrow ;)
Performance Y is my current daily driver. We can’t imagine going back to gas.

Like Apple, Tesla has this sort of annoying following that worships their CEO. I liked Apple but the fans of the brand were truly annoying and rather elitist. Straight talk, here. Apple Macs were good and iPods and usually of high quality but at some point, they fell behind Windows in terms of multitasking and such and Apple didn't clone and such. Apple lost market share. And in some aspects, the iPhone fell behind Android. Tesla fans would do way better to say we make our type of cars and the competitors make cars that are quite good too, but we're more tech focused. Leave it at that. All of this "kills the competition" talk first of all is not true, there are competitive EVs coming out as EVs still go beyond just the tech aspects, and you can be competitive while acknowledging others do well also. That's my advice to Tesla fans. Just chill out some. Also Elon is not a God. He's a CEO. He's a good one. But like Steve Jobs, he's a charismatic CEO and a really rich man.

Interior doesn't look or feel like a $75K car because the Model Y is a $58K car. The Performance can be had for $62K. The only way you get to $75K is extras and the rip off $10K self driving pkg. Point is, when you buy this, you can't compare interior luxury with another $65k+ luxury car because that car won't even begin to approach the performance of this. Just like a Charger Hellcat interior doesn't match its price point because you're strictly paying for performance.

With ICE vehicles you didn't have to worry about where you were going to refuel because gas stations are every where but on an EV if you take 300+ miles often like I do, you have to take into consideration the charging Network. I've taken multiple 2,000+ mile trips and having a reliable charging Network is such a piece of mind. Pulling to a Supercharger at 3am on a 27+ hour trip knowing how many chargers are working and available even before you get to the Supercharger makes me feel great about the choice I made when deciding to buy my EV. The charging Network, autopilot, OTAs, brand recognition, the direct sales model, Mobil Service, were some of the reasons I decided to purchase a Tesla over other brands. And I didn't even mentioned the vehicle specs. I hope other EV manufactured invest in the charging networks for their customers. That will help get more EVs on the road and give a better experience to EV drivers regardless of the brand.

Hilarious review and comments!! Wait time for Model Y is now May. Looks like it still has no competition. LOL
You always do this course what you like about this road loop
I appreciate the review. But I have to mention the following. 1.) The Tesla Model Y does not cost $75k. As I type this, the vehicle you are driving (as optioned) is available for $64k via Tesla. The dealership you are at is trying to sell it at $75k I suspect. Tesla sells directly to the consumer, no endless hours of price negotiating at a dealership. 2.) The Model Y Performance has an EPA rated 303 miles of range. With any vehicle, gas or electric, spirited driving will obviously bring that range down. 3.) Most don’t know that the reason the door handles are flush with the body is to maximize aerodynamics and drag coefficiency. Exposed handles can subtract ≈ 3% of range. 4.) The specific model you showcased has an integrated tow hitch behind the plastic cover. The Model Y can tow up to 3,500 lbs. I have to agree with you about the fit and finish. At a $64k price point, everything about the vehicle should be flawless! It doesn’t even come with an automatic garage door opener! WTF!? Design aesthetics is where things start to get subjective. Some motorists prefer a minimalistic approach and others prefer to feel like they are in a cockpit surrounded by a thousand buttons when in reality they will only be using seven of them. I really enjoy your vehicle reviews! You really highlighted the performance features. Keep the videos coming!

@@RaitisRides Curious what car has "soul"?
Other than the bad finishes for the amount of they cost, the fact that they’re aren’t enough charging stations and the fact it takes so much longer to charge than it does to fill up a gas tank? I’m sold.

Tesla has their own charging network, that's not the same compared with the other brand EVs (like Mach-e for instance). But that's only if you must charge on the go, most EV owners charge at home at night, while they sleep. That's almost like your smartphone, except you don't need to charge the car every night. The range being over 300 miles, it's enough to charge once a week. It's incredibly convenient and extremely cheap (about 3 cents per mile, depending on your electricity price). It is only complicated if you live in an apartment where you can't charge overnight, so you might need to charge weekly at a supercharger (but they are everywhere nowadays). Also, a lot of malls have now chargers in the parking lot, so you can charge while you shop. You are right about the finish, though, I hope they can make it better. They keep alluding at this new factory in Texas that they're gonna build a new kind of paint shop.. Will see when it's done, but I won't get my hopes up. The best deal is still the cheapest Tesla at 42k, that Model 3 SR+ is selling like hotcakes.
Yes, Instead of front flat bumper, could be some fancy lights
Hopefully the day will come when Tesla and other EVs are priced in the 25k range, then many more people will be able to afford them.

I don't think Tesla is meant to have the bulk of their cars in the 25K range. Other makes that offer cars in the 25-30K range will offer them in the future.

I should be getting my Y performance in couple of weeks hopefully without delay.. I checked out Mach E fully loaded but dealer markup was $20k. That turned me off

Cant go wrong with it - especially the Supercharger network has your back! Hope you are enjoying your new ride!
Rims look great 👍 👌 😀
I think they should eliminate the front grill if not required, I don’t like fake side vents and fake hood vents only have it if it’s functional.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeees maaaaaaaan!!! Tesla came out swinging with this Model Y!!! Thanks for the awesome review here Joe and Lori!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #Tesla #Model_Y

Nice review as always. The acceleration on these Tesla EVs is awesome. Nevertheless the whole experience seems weird. I’m not sure what to think. My brother in law owns a model 3 but I’ve never driven it. He loves the car. The model S plaid has 1020 horsepower. I’ll stick with my 2020 GT500. 760 horsepower is enough horsepower for this old Geezer. My car always brings a smile to my face when I’m on the highway. Once again the camera person is out of this world 👍

I have a 20’ gt500 as well. My wife’s daily is a Tesla 3 performance. We have a Tesla S Plaid on order and will be selling her 3 just before delivery. Her Tesla is a much better daily driver imo and the instant torque makes the acceleration much more accessible than the GT500. The GT500 brakes, handling and top end acceleration (80mph+) are clearly superior to her Tesla.

Hey speedy .are you interested at all in the upcoming mustang s650 ? Or the electric challenger?
If you think Model Y has good acceleration, give plaid a try.. it's insane, even X plaid is super quick. Got both, can't go back to ICE vehicles anymore. Came from LX570 to Tesla, no regrets so far.
No heated or ventilated seats???
Awesome reviews
Joe, a bit of an unrelated question, but I've been dying to know what your thoughts are about Mazda's CX-50 which will be revealed next month and the CX-70 and CX-90 which will be revealed next year with an inline-six engine and a plug-in hybrid.
