Agree' Richard and his excellent team hard working amazing business. EV reviews 5 star!!!!

I'm not a big car person, but I love good design and aesthetics. In my opinion I think the model Y might be just one of the most practical cars out there. I personally think it looks fantastic. The dimensions just look 'right' to me. I really think Tesla have hit the nail on the head with the model Y.

We love our 2021 model Y. If you have toddlers, the model y is a much more practical car compared to the model 3. In our 2019 model 3, the back door opening is smaller and lower so our kid knocks her head more often compared to when we take the model y. We also opted for the 7 seater version and the additional 2 seats have come in handy a number of times where we wanted to only take 1 car and were able to all squeeze in for a short ride.

Thank you Oliver. I hope you’ve enjoyed England, R Siymons and Fully Charged. Thank you RS and crew. As always a very helpful informative real world no BS review.

First and foremost, thanks Oliver for bringing your car over. Secondly thanks guys for doing this great comparison review of the Model Y & the Model 3. What a coop in being the first to do so here in the UK. 👍

Before I watch this… I bet it will be popular… 😊

excellent video and all the more interesting given I live just around the corner from where you were filming.

Thank you Oliver!

I forgot to add, this channel deserves a much larger audience

Thanks Richard, always value your opinions which seem very fair and level headed. Thanks also to Oliver for letting you drive his brand new car - not something I would be quick to do!!

Excellent idea, to compare directly.Very interesting cars, indeed. Very much interested. Thanks for the Authenticity

As always Richard, a brilliantly infomrative video, many thanks. And thanks too, to Oliver for his generosity.

Nice video Richard, Surge, and of course to Oliver! Really excited about the Model Y in the UK, it's going to sell like hot cakes!

Thanks for this good video and thanks to Oliver 👍

The Lifetime status on my 2020 LR AWD (with Performance Boost) is 9010 miles and my wh/mi is 258 driven in the US mid-west so we experience all FOUR seasons and 3K+ miles were on long road trips. Very close to your numbers in the UK. We are considering trading to the 7 seater now that our grandkids are bigger and like road tripping with us. I lower my tire pressures to soften the ride and when we go on road trips we pump them up, seems to help on city streets, especially in cold temps.

I can imagine a few road trips to Germany to "test the car" (3 and Y) and while there, visit Oliver for the upgrades!?

We own 2 model ys. Have them in metallic grey and black with both 20inch wheels. 2021 has much better suspension and ride vs 2020. Not a flashy car but I think they look nice esp with anything but non aero wheels lol. It's just such a practical car with the hatch and higher ride height. As soon as they start lowering the price than it's just game over. These cars are still pricey but no regrets from me. Tesla is doing its job to mass market the y and 3 and as soon as Berlin and Texas opens up I think the cost will come down.

Thanks for doing the driving position height comparison. Been looking for that in Tesla videos for yonks.

Excellent review! I totally agree, I owned a Model 3 LR AWD and the suspension feels a little harsh and unsophisticated, steering is unnecessarily quick, and terrible road noise. Although I have heard road noise has improved in newer models, mine was a 2019.

Thanks Richard. Thanks Oliver. UK order in immediately yesterday. Y LR White / White / 19"

Thanks for this video. Since I have a model Y reserved, I found this very useful as well as reassuring.

Really helpful. Thank you

Thanks Oliver and Richard for an awesome vid.

And now we know Richard's very enthusiastic opinion as he sings: 🎶Oliver's charm Y is here to stay🎶 A, superb review, looking forward to what you record next.

I’ve seen a lot of compassion videos between MY and M3, but it’s so useful to have one that gives a perspective from the U.K. This is so much better. I got my new M3 in March thinking I couldn’t wait any more to get an EV. Not regretting owning a M3, but I agree that the demand for MY will be huge.

Congrats on getting this review. Did I really miss the Skoda Enyaq at Fully Charged Outside. Thought I had seen everything at least twice !!

Such an informative video, thank you. I put my preorder in for the Model Y last week, coming from a Model 3. I just need to be able to put my dog in the boot as our family grows. I was a bit concerned about lots of reviewers talking about a firm ride so it's good to hear your opinion as a Model 3 owner as well.

Thanks Oliver. I’d be interested to hear the difference given the Y has been soundproofed.

Tesla Bjorn in Norway tested it on 18" wheels which was much more comfortable, yes they were not stock but were for Tesla - so maybe they just need to supply it with 18" wheels?

Great comparison thanks

Great review and thank you Oliver for loaning out your car for this to happen. When will they be in the UK

Looking forward to a test drive in the next few weeks. Keen to see how that ride is

Great video Richard and thanks to Oliver for lend his car. Does he have any KZread content?

Interesting comparison, I'd have a go at the 'Y' as I'm disabled and it looks easier to get in/out. Sound insulation: Why are Tesla not doing this as standard? I think smaller wheels and higher profile tyres would be interesting. Super video. Thanks for sharing and thanks to Oliver. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

Top lad Oliver!

Thank you Oliver for letting Richard drive this car. Surprised there was no parcel shelf or load cover.

That small bit of higher energy usage could be chalked up to the sport wheels on the M 3. Although the tires might be the same, the wind aero efficiency might have caused a slight bit more drag resistance. Still amazing that an overall heavier vehicle with added insulation weight was still that close.

Thank you Oliver. It is very kind of you.

The blue color Y looks beautiful!

Yet another great. Video thanks Richard and team, in relation to your constructive comments to improve the ride - do you think air suspension would improve matters?

Good review and like almost every other review references the firm ride. That is more than a minor issue, would potentially be enough to put me and I’m sure many others off given the state of our roads. Not sure about the lack of roof blind either…

Another great video Richard, is it a coincidence that the model Y reg plate is RS VR 420E Richard Symons Volt Rent?

Nice video thumbs up!

Thank you Oliver

Your a lucky man to be driving the MY. Probably the first in the UK. I’ve been waiting for this for ages. With the Berlin delays, I’ve given up waiting for this to come to the UK and ordered the EQC. I have a feeling it’s something I’m gonna live to regret.

So looking forward to this. Absolutely love the 3, (have driven all 3 versions in 2020) but curious about the model Y.

Fantastic review, I have a LR and a P ordered in the Y… can’t wait for next year and the move away from what I am starting to think of as Dinosaur ICE cars… the world is changing fast, time to embrace.

Thanks for this and the walkaround video. And thanks to Oliver for bringing his Model Y over here for Fully Charged Outside - even letting you take it away overnight! Seeing a Y in the flesh was one of the highlights of the show for me, almost pipping being there with the first family member I'd since since before the pandemic and being waylaid by Richard himself as we passed his stand. ;) Is it common for two similar cars making exactly the same journey to differ by 1.3 miles in their records of the stage mileage after only 140-ish miles?

Thanks Oliver!

Fantastic!

Interesting to compare the efficiency of the Y with my smaller battery enyaq. I've been doing a regular circuit of mainly motorway driving for the last 4 days. It's 171 miles and the enyaq has had 70 miles left at the end of it. 3.8 miles per kWh has been easy to achieve. Smaller batteries seem to hit the sweet spot in terms of efficiency.

Hi, great video! It’s now ready to order which is great! I have a model S. how does it compare as I would love the new software and minimalist look but is it worth the extra money as mine was second hand

Thanks Oliver.

Well done Richard to get the first side by side in the UK, I love the high seating, as the wife has troubles getting in and out of a lower car. Love the sound deadening, the front bonnet auto lift was great. So size doesn’t matter too much on economy. Not sure if the heat pump is standard as I would be buying the standard range plus. Also great to see you at the Jamaica Inn

Thanks for this video. I need to replace my diesel because of ULEZ. I want to switch to a Y but it will be some time. Which car do you think is a better stop gap, an ID.4 (52 kwh) or a Tesla Model 3?

I can confidently predict this being the best selling car of this decade, worldwide.

Well best selling car that currently exists over the next decade. The 25k Tesla will definitely outsell the Model Y. Amazing how they made an model Y more efficient then the Model 3! Must be the oldish model 3 without the heat pump.

Lachlan....please open your eyes. Today the leading EV maker is, by far, the Hyundai brand including Kia and Genesis. Take Ioniq 5 and Kia EV 6, they are beating Tesla also in pure tech.

Assuming batteries are identical in reality (which they probably won't despite having the same kWh rating), it's most likely that the Y turned out to be more efficient because it slipstreamed more during that bit of the trip (ie if it was the rear car in the convoy). Or perhaps its the newer tires, but it's a minuscule difference anyway. Great stuff as always.

You know, I like what you did, good points... ...but I test drove the model Y and immediately chose the model 3 without driving it. The reason was that the high front of the Model Y is a show stopper for me. I like to see if there are children playing in front of my car. And also the M3 looks much, much cooler, not just more sporty, but a more elegant design. I get my model 3 LR white on white, FSD with winter rims/tires in May. So that will be my M3 test drive )).

The MYP is a blast to drive. The power and agility is absolutely brilliant. I have experienced the bumpy ride on bad roads, but it does fine on maintained roads. This is my first SUV and I normally drive high performance sports cars. I am more than satisfied with what the MYP delivers and hope Tesla creates a software track package with performance boost. A half a second quicker would make the MYP a monster.

Love the video and the car. Model 3 LR does everything I want after a year, but in 3 years time, unless I get a decent price to buy my 3, it will be a model Y

Please take my money! but I would like the 7 seater please. GREAT Video

Did the Y come with that reg plate just for you??? I also fit power frunk and trunk kits anywhere in UK except in London

So,d the i3 Rex and YYY is now the daily driver, it’s super

cheers oliver

What would the efficiency difference be with the aero wheels on the long range? I've got a 40 mile round trip to work everyday which is mainly motorway miles (1 mile of town driving the rest motorway ) and really struggle to get over 250 unless I'm driving stupidly (hard acceleration and over the speed limit) doing 70 and driving normally its around 190/200 and being stupidly Conservative (60mph) I get anywhere between 90 to 150.

How much you think the price difference on the M3 and MY? Can you get 3 people in the back seats in the M3 ?

Nice side by side

Great review thanks. We are looking at Tesla but with dogs the Model 3 isn't an option, so the Y hits that spot

When is it coming to UK ?

5:12 model 3/Y have symmetric headlights. that your left one is slightly elevated is actually more suited for RHDs than LHDs but just an adjustment error - they should normally be a the same level. the dipping of one side isnt really necessary with modern headlights because they have less "overspray".

@EP-mc5hx

2 жыл бұрын

can headlight adjustment be saved under a profile? or is it the same under each persons profile, would be nice t have a left and right or even low / medium / "blind every car passing" high setting :) that you could switch to while driving

Richard, is it worthy to keep my MS75 (end of lease this month, balloon 30k) or shall I go for MY? I love MS and got the MCU2 done + CCS upgrade. Will I gain something by getting MY? I know I will lose free supercharging and pay more for MY

I would like to see an analysis of traveling to National Parks and dealing with the charging systems available for the Model Y. If your back country camping for a week or 2 and have to park the Y in the sun or in the cold how long can it sit there and still be able to make it to a charger.

Tesla UK is taking order for Model Y since yesterday. By the way, may I know how much would be the frunk power closure cost and who can get it done in the UK if that is available? Thank you.

If it felt 'fidgety' was the steering set to chill?

I have a model 3 as a company car until March 2024. I’m hoping we’ll get Model Y in the UK by then (?), if so will go for a 7 seat LR

I can't wait for you guys to get the new Model S and Plaid.

Does the model Y have the driving sytems on it so you can let go of the stearing wheel

Model y looks a perfect family car. Unfortunately when it comes to the UK will be 50 grand plus for the long range.

Great to hear that the efficiency doesn't seem to much worse than the M3. Looks like it will be a fantastic buy. Or that plenty of M3 owners will switch and you can get a relative bargain on one. 🤞
