I am 69 and getting MY LR on 4/30

62 years old and just took delivery of a model Y standard range about three weeks ago. Great car. Really enjoying it! Fantastic daily driver. Even did a short (~400 miles round trip) road trip and did some supercharging. The supercharging experience is excellent. You have to plan trips a little differently but it is very do-able and enjoyable. Great videos, very informative. Now feed the dog!

new comment on an old one :) what do you plan differently? just the time to charge?

Got my '21 Performance Y day after Thanksgiving. Best car I have ever owned! And I was coming out of a Porsche Macan GTS, and a 911 and a C4 911. Blows those cars out of the water. My son in law has the 3, I finally drove it and was impressed. I then test drove a Y and liked the fact that you sit up higher. I am 75 yrs. old and enjoy driving like you do.

Interesting to hear you came from a Macan GTS. I am a huge fan of that car but its so much more than a Y and isn't faster so what's the point? Glad you are liking your Y!

I’m currently driving a 911 and use to own an M2 also. I just ordered a Y performance after test driving one yesterday. I love my Porsche but fear it will sit in the garage once I take delivery.

I also have a Porsche Macan GTS, and I am trading for new 2023 Model Y Performance. I test drove MYP, and I feel in love. I love the Porsche, and honestly, it was hard to trade in, but MYP is definitely faster and fun to drive.

Thanks for calling us “older people” eloquent. My son always complains that I text him paragraphs. I can’t make myself not use correct punctuation. So my two cents about the Model Y is it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. But I never owned a luxury car before, so I don’t have much to compare it to. My first EV was a 2015 Leaf so I am used to driving electric. I also find the ride in the Y is bouncy. But the acceleration off the line from a stoplight never fails to make me smile!

I’m 61 and just bought a model Y a month ago. Previous car was a Prius. Commute around 50 miles a day and really like the Tesla. Safety, beautiful glass roof and very low cost of ownership sold me on this vehicle.

Gjeebs hanging out in the strip malls entertaining himself now that he’s a free man. Congrats on going all-in with the channel. Have the Model Y too and also think it’s a perfect daily driver.

I'm 53, got my 2018 LRRWD in Sept. And I LOVE IT !!!

I’m 72 and love my new MY!

I’m one of your “older viewers.” I enjoy your videos and I wish you the best with your move to being a full-time content creator. My one request is in future videos is to keep your shirt on; literally keep your shirt on! Also, it is nice when you include your wife when it is applicable. I’m moving my wife slowly towards a Tesla purchase and a feminine viewpoint can only help. Keep up the good work.

I just randomly found this vid and you sir, had no business making this video this funny. Subbed

I watched so many videos about tesla up to now and this is the first one to see good explanation about the suspension on teslas! SUBSCRIBED NOW 😊

This guy just filmed in TJMAX bathroom! 😂

“It matches the rest of the panel gaps in the car, so it’s a beautiful thing” lol

You are hysterical. Subscribed. 50 years young here. Took delivery of the 2021 Y 3 weeks ago. Loving it. I laughed at your Prius comment as i traded in my Prius for the Y! But I might be the only standard range driver out here in Los Angels. But hey, it’s LA and I work from home ( for now) so it’s all good.

“Insult me with poetry, you people!” LOL I was about to pull the trigger on a Macan Turbo but your videos changed my mind. Now I’m contemplating getting a Y Performance instead. Thank you for great content and keep up the good work!

I'm a 75 y.o. new subscriber and we're getting our first Tesla next month...a Model Y Performance. Look forward to your future humorous, informative videos.

My 97 yr old grandpa loves my Model Y.

Your videos are very relatable. Can’t wait to finally pull the trigger on the Model Y at the end of the year.

I actually enjoy driving for the first time in my life after owning the Y. Im sure others can relate if you've owned crappy vehicles all your life :P. Great vid man!

Love your videos! Yes, I’m one of the ‘you guys’ you were referring to! 😊 I’m 71 and a retired RN. I was required to learn new technology quickly so this doesn’t scare me, it excites me!! Unfortunately, haven’t got my new Tesla yet as I got COVID, but I’m recovering and will get on it soon. Cute dog!! ♥️👍

Best channel I’ve subbed this year!

I’m packing on the miles too. At least 150 mi/day. I have some observations too in my MYP. Range takes a dive in the cold but love it. Thanks for sharing.

So do u get an actual 300 miles or 160

I was 75 when I bought my M3P and decided to visit the future. I think it does help a bit if you are comfortable with technology when you buy this car as very little is familiar. If you can fiddle with your smart phone or with your computer you can fiddle with your Tesla or you can get your grandchild to help in the beginning. This car handles extremely well, and home charging at 40+ miles per hour is great. I took it on a 4000 mile road trip looking for Superchargers. Always found them and lost no time since I also ate. Great car and Navigate on Autopilot got me off the George Washington Bridge without haste. Would buy another.

I own a 2021 MY LR AWD. I watch the videos & the commercials, like & share just to support you and your new endeavor - from one Medical Equipment sales guy to another = jealous :)

Sixty-Five here and love my 2021 MY... You make me laugh, especially when you see another luxury car pass by, "Squirrel" yet I digress.

Got Model Y in August middle of the pandemic, already thinking of buying a second one for my family

I am one of "you people" and enjoyed your video. Four years with the MX; now have a 2021 MY and love it more than the MX. At my age, there are two important features most reviews don't discuss. First is the collision avoidance warning system which has prevented my having an accident which would have been my fault. The other is the regen braking. If a car pulls out in front of you and you must brake, the regen braking is already slowing the car down before your foot moves to the brake. Although it is only a second or less, it definitely makes a big difference in the stopping distance.

We are going full Tesla family soon! Wife, model Y and I’m getting Tri-motor cybertruck!

Thanks for your content.

Excellent video. I predict that you will have many more prescribers if you keep doing what you are doing. There are many mature subscribers that are experiencing a Tesla vicariously through your videos. I’m sure lots of older adults have a Tesla in their bucket list, but our uncertain climate spooks them when they get close to ordering one. It kind of makes sense to have one; as you get older, your car will take over the driving as you might need a brake from those long trips.👍👍

Getting one this weekend for our wedding anniversary!! So excited!!

I enjoy watching your videos. Considering a tesla model y as my family car. your videos help

This has been by far one of your funniest videos man...😂😂😂

I guess I would say I’m “older” now, but I had a 32 year career in IT, so the tech doesn’t give me pause at all! I do think that your viewers do show a higher level of erudition than many KZread channels. Good dog!

You earned a new subscriber.. “ there’s no Tesla in heaven “ Hilarious 😆!!

Man loving these Model Y videos 👊🏻

I hit “like”. May the dog have many more meals to eat now 😂

I was trying to think of something mean to say, but couldn't think of much. You mixed with the insane trade in values right now is what motivated me to buy a new Y. I ordered a white P and stuck with the black leather as my kids are heathens :) My driving pattern is 95% in town (16 mile round trip) and then that other 5% is a 3000 mile vacation so the P made sense for my situation. I am thinking of snagging some smaller lightweight rims to test range for long trips with. Keep the good content coming!

Gjeebs: spot on with your daily driver review. Coming from an ex-Audi Q5 driver your comments about the stiff suspension are correct. I have a 2021 Y LR with 20 inch wheels and the Wife complains all the time about rough ride, lucky for me that Y is my car and not hers. I’m also in the old guy demographic 58 so don’t hold it against me. Keep the videos coming. :-)

Poop jokes and blowing up the TJ Max bathroom. Yeah this is my kind of humor. Sub'ed.

22 Y/O getting ready to trade my acura in for a Y. Love the reviews

I enjoy the ventilation setup it feels more uniform without extremes it’s much more comfortable than other systems that blast you in the face. I wish they could make the suspension more forgiving it would be perfect.

Good video. Love my Model Y Performance. I don't drive as much as you, so I don't get too crazy on the range.

After watching your videos, at 71, I ordered one. Thanks

“It matches the rest of the panel gaps and that’s a beautiful thing” 💀💀💀💀💀💀

LOL - I’m turning 50 this year and spent 3+ decades driving German cars almost exclusively. My 2021 3LR AWD is the best car ever - 3000 miles in 27 days! It is the best automotive value in the world considering performance, tech, and not paying for gas! Love the channel, keep it up.

I love that you’re listening to 311.

I'm nearly 72 (give or take) can't quite remember. The technology doesn't scare me, it does excite me though. I'm waiting for the Y to become available in the UK, hopefully it will be sometime this summer. You can get the 3 here but I think the Y would be better for me (hips are worn out). Cute dog.

This guy is hilarious! Love it!

5 year old, bought one model y excited

You might find ride quality better on the 19" OEM gemini wheels. Would love to see future comparisons on ride quality between the different tire options Tesla offers. Some new buyers are choosing a wheel by looks not realizing how it may change the ride quality.

I’m going to give more praise to Tesla Model Y. A few days ago my husband and I did a long drive on a scenic byway into the mountains. We were on our way home both tired and hungry. Much to our dismay there was a bad accident on the interstate and they had it closed. Traffic was backed up for miles and they were diverting traffic off it. We ended up somewhere that we didn’t know at all and it was getting dark. After being stressed for a few minutes I pushed the navigate “home” button. After about 30 seconds it came up with a route that didn’t involve the interstate and gave us turn by turn directions to get home. Tesla navigation is the best I’ve ever seen!

My model Y arrived in January. The fit and finish, paint and quality was PERFECT. As for ride quality, it is much better than my Mercedes GLA. Am very happy with this car.

Good intro, kept me glued 👍🏽

This is by far your most hilarious video to date!

I like your kind of humor.

Thanks for this video. Helped me make my purchasing decision. Will go for the European version when they start making it later this year in Berlin, Germany. Really looking forward to it. I hope it will come with air suspensions and noice cancelation from start here. It will for sure be painted in the lates paint-shop. Also hope for some new tech like the new wiring and mega casting, and why not the new cool yoke steering wheel. Again, thanks! Kjell-Åke (59 years old ;))

Gjeebs, I enjoy your informative and entertaining content. In July I will be using your referral code when I order my Model Y.

Love your videos, keep’em coming! What suspension are you ordering? I just noticed unplugged performance is offering dual rate linear lowering springs for $385. I’m thinking about getting the “mild” for a 1” drop and added comfort... Anyone tried these out yet?

Now you can bless me more. Great vid

Love the videos.

Thank goodness... someone who reports on the suspension ( v Merc and BM offerings ...). Other you-tubers seems to report on trivia and discuss the autopilot. I’m not interested in trivia (or the flawed autopilot) but I am curious about the damping and handling.

Love your videos! Keep us laughing!

LOL, Scottsdale, cruising at 81 in a 65. Speaking as one of your older viewers (63, barely in your sweet spot) don't be so quick to think we can't handle tech. That's OUR parents. Many of us came up with the tech. We don't get TikTok, maybe, but we can handle a touchscreen. Really appreciated this daily driver video. Waiting for a new Model Y; after borrowing one for the weekend we were sold! PS. other car is an E39 M5. Save the manuals!

LOL. The Prius comment is so true! Especially the ones owned by Cabbies.

Yes, please, a thorough review of the comfort coil-overs. I have an early production 2021 Y (includes laminated windows) and one of my only dislikes on the car is the ride on rougher roads. The ride, when it is not harsh can be just plain "busy". It can be tiring. The coil overs offered by Mountain Pass Performance and Unplugged Performance don't come cheap and I have yet to find any reviews that suggest there is that much of an improvement.

How do you keep your glass roof so clean, any water stains yet?

Just another elderly (74.23 yrs) fan of Gjeebs (and Tesla.) No fear of technology here (working with computers since before you wore your first diaper) but need a little more coinage for my MY and I hope that will come this summer when I retire. Blue and white LR. I’ll honk when we pass!

Hi. I had been waiting for the Y to come out and then COVID hit. In March 2021, I’m 61 years old, had just started cancer treatments in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. I found out there was a brand new Tesla dealership here. Went to look at one of the existing inventory on Wednesday. Put a deposit down on a Red Multicoat, LR with FSD and 20 inch induction wheels. On Thursday I paid for it and on Friday I drove it home! Like you said, you can’t buy a Tesla when you’re dead, so might as well do it now!

We are off the grid, so we charge the MY with only sunshine!

Interesting video. Just a comment on the ‘non breaking’. From time to time a safe harsh breaking is necessary to remove corrosion - if not then maintenance will go up as the breaks will need replacing early. This is also a problem on front wheel drive conventional cars as the break predominantly with front breaks.

Picking up our new Model Y this Monday. Quite excited. Had a Chevy Bolt the last three years. Liked it but no comparison to a Tesla.

I am 65 and I am thinking of purchasing a model 3 or model Y. The next Model 2, which is supposed to be a hatchback sounds interesting as my current car is a VW Golf.

Looks like your in PHX .... How is the GLASS ROOF heatwise? Have you added or ever thought of adding a aftermarket sunshade Thanks for the video!

I laughed harder than I should have at the pull up bar comment.

Thanks. I hope to have a Model Y someday. Watching from Spain

Hi, I'm 79 and picking up my Model Y, Long Range, next week. Looking forward to FSD release to the public in the next quarter. FSD is probably not the "logical" choice but I am a techie. Forty-five years ago, while car-pooling my kids I thought ours would be the last generation to do carpools. Cars would drive themselves when my grandkids needed rides. I guess I was off by half a generation. My grandkids did need carpools, but there is some doubt if they will need driver's licenses. I'm looking forward to the day when cars are driven sanely, by computers.

Thanks for the video Located in Canada I am looking am possibility buying a Tesla just not not sure which model Y or model 3 to go with. From what I see so far Model Y RWD 395 km range Pro -cheaper Cons - RWD & lower range Model Y AWD 531 km range Pros- better range & AWD Cons - Pice $10k more Model 3 RWD 433km range Pros - cheaper with reasonable range Cons - RWD & low seating position and smaller trunk

74 years old and took delivery of model Y performance September 15, 22. You are correct you can’t drive it once under the grass. Easy, fun I call it a fancy laptop on wheels. Didn’t buy it to allegedly save the world. Have two gas older Lexus in my driveway. I did it because it’s fun and smart. Be safe my friend

Aaahh yes, the famous Phantom braking!

Hi, I'm 67 and have been a technophile since I bought my first computer... a Commodore 64! I've always kept up with the latest and greatest, so Tesla tech hasn't been hard for me to adapt to at all. My first Tesla was a 2016 Model S... beautiful, sleek, fast, but sadly, my wife's knees couldn't tolerate how low it was, so I traded it for a 2020 model Y performance. It's been upgraded with a yolk and is soooo amazing to drive. I do need to consider keeping a AED (defibrillator) in the car though because last time I took a non-tech peer on a drive and did a test launch, I thought there was going to be a cardiac event! I love the car, and so does my wife. I bought mine used and wasn't aware there is a second understorage behind the first one in the back. When I found it, it was full of aftermarket toys the previous owner left behind... yup... I love this car!

Is the model x very low. Making it much difficult to get in and out of? At 65 yo, is the y a more comfortable choice?.
