Tesla Model Y Practicality test: bikes, passengers and BIG box v 3, S, X, other electric family cars

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#modelY #ev #bigbox #tesla
So I’m keen to see if our big box fits in. We’ve tried it in many others EVs and many fail.
See what it’s like v the following
VW ID.4
Kia EV6
Hyundai Ioniq 5
Ford Mustang Mach-e
Audi e-tron 55
Mercedes EQC
Jaguar iPace
Tesla Model X
Plus we test a mountain bike and see how that fits
Then other boxes plus also people.
Just how practical is the model Y? You’re about to find out…

    Mountain bikes get in easily into the Y or the X if you take the false flat floor out, the bike just need a little more depth. The S has this due to the lower boot floor.

    9:26 - YES! Seeing the i3 in the background early in the video I went "oh, come on, that *HAS* to fit in the i3, I hope they try it!" Pleased to see you actually did! (I carried quite a few "surprisingly large" things in my i3 over the years before replacing it with a Mach-E.) Also, you remove the lid for some vehicles - I'd be willing to bet it would fit in the Model S with the lid removed, too.

    Excellent video - really interesting, particularly with the bike and doggo. For bikes, the Model Y is an absolutely fantastic car (arguably one of the best on the market). The towbar upgrade will take 3 big, adult bikes with a decent carrier. Plus it has roof rack capability. So it should be able to take 5 bikes, 5 passengers, plus a load of frunk and trunk luggage for a biking trip. The Model 3 is similar, but its towbar is more weight limited and is realistically better for just 2 big bikes (plus 3 people in the rear is a bit less comfortable than the Y).

    If your concerned about the boot lids closing onto something pull closed by hand the lift systems are designed to allow manual closing, no need to pop a glass. My Model S takes my full suspension 29er Mountain bike with both wheels on. Its a squeeze and passenger seat has to be halfway back. Bonus info the new Roadster also takes a 29er full suspension mountain bike if you remove the front wheel not bad for a Hypercar. Yes I did buy the Tesla Roadster Model as its CAD derived and yes I did mock up a copy of my mountain bike, but if you flip the rear seats down and Tesla does what it normally does and sticks to making production as prototypes yep mountain bike in the back of the Roadster. Sash is the star of the show shes beautiful and what a useful insight for dog owners, kudos to Sash and her owner.

It did fit, the hatch-back fully closed but The driving seat was almost fully forward and my knees were up round my ears! Thankfully only a 3 mile journey but the discomfort did save me the delivery charge!

    I really do like these real world tests. Total volue is something you can usually manage and estimate from pictures and it kind of is of not high value. Most car magazines use stantadized boxes of small dimensions and it just is of low value. But cube (big box), plane (flat tv, bike) etc are much better as even if you can have cube meters of volume you might not be able to fit the item because of small doors etc. One test you are missing is long and thin item. Like 5cm * 30cm * X meters also just 5cm*5cm*X meters. So thin ladder like object, or pipe.

    Thank you for the tests. I’m deciding between 3 and Y. Could your Model Y review mention whether you feel the Y is worth the extra? Especially vs the 3 LFP (90% Y LR vs 100% 3 LFP has similar range) I test drove both back to back last weekend. The 3 is well tuned and feels great to drive. But the roof beam is bothersome for my wife who sits up to manage the kid. No hatchback is also very limiting. The Y is great in terms of space. But the drive feels unstable, it rolls more over uneven surfaces. Also ride feels harsher despite having more tire sidewall. (Both 19 inch tyres)

    If don’t need the practicality of a Y, or 4 wheel drive, model 3 LFP all the way…

    @@RSEV in Australia, we have the option of a LFP Model Y. Based on a number of comments I’ve read from UK viewers, it seems like this would sell well over there.
