2022 Tesla Model Y (inc. 0-100) review: There's one major flaw to this SUV...

I've ordered a Tesla Model Y! And we've finally had the chance to drive one on Australian roads. Australia gets two variants of the Tesla Model Y - the entry level (tested here) and the Model Y Performance (which we are yet to test). Is it any good? Paul Maric finds out!

Hey everybody! Three updates! As mentioned in the video - I have some more detail. Charging is capped at 170kW DC for the base model Model Y. Power and torque is same as the entry-level Model 3 SR+, so 220kW of power and 420Nm of torque. The price of the car also went up after we filmed, it’s now $72,300 before on-road costs. Thanks for your patience!

Paul - are you going to add a fer accessories to yours. I think the electric frunk kit (aftermarket) would make the MY. I think its worth doing. Also I see there are a number of suspension (aftermarket) kits available but all seem like a fairly major install. I think as time goes on and these get more popular in AU/NZ we will see easier/better strut kits become available. Love your reviews and cant wait for a few more MY reviews on your new one.

I'm waiting for the LR to upgrade that one but have ordered a SR with 19's to get by till then. Congrats on the little girl; we had one 4 months ago which is why we ordered the Y.

My 2020 M3 (US) has voice recognition navigation. No need to type in destinations. Also, previous destinations are retained in memory for call up. Car location in the app is a bit sketchy. Formerly, I could monitor my wife while she drove home, with the car centered on the screen as the map scrolled. Something changed with an update and now the app bullseyes the car, but then the map is static and the car drives off the screen and must be “chased” to see it’s progress. Another shortcoming (common to all 3 & Y at least) is no backup, cross traffic warning. While the rear camera view is fairly broad, a head check is necessary. To be clear however, it does alert as objects are approached. And don’t get me started on tire noise and firm ride. On the plus side, my Dual Motor ran 12.2 @ 118mph through the 1/4 mile!

Thanks for a great review, Paul - you continue to set the standard for thoroughness, honesty and accuracy, and all with healthy dollops of good humour and personality. Ive been hanging-out for a Y for a while, but had to buy something ICE (Outback). Poor ride would be a deal-breaker for me. I'm pretty sure that when Sandy Munro did his thorough tear-down of the Y he mentioned that the chassis seemed to have fittings for an adaptive suspension, which would come close to making the car an exceptional machine. Like you, I think a HUD ought to be mandatory, and the stop-watching-the road to check your speed and other things is a serious flaw. I also think the car is not attractive, but I've seen uglier (like the first BMW X6, for example), but the interior is so very practical. When I'm ready to replace my Outback, this is one of the first vehicles I'll be looking at.

This ridiculous story that you have to look away from the road to see the speedo is getting so old…. Any time you move your eyes you are effectively blind. Your mind just makes up the image in between. Looking down or slightly left and down is exactly the same. If you can’t learn to glance in a different place you can buy a phone mount that replaces the top cover of the steering column, and an app will function as second display.

I ordered the Model Y with 20" induction wheels and noticed the majority of KZfaq reviewers from AU and the UK mentioning the ride quality as a significant issue. Just like in this review. This week, I went for a test drive with the 19" standard and felt the ride quality was pretty good. I have a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to compare and contrast, and it's not too far off, granted I only spend 20 minutes in the car! I found that I actually really like 19" standard wheels in person on a white car and am quite pleased with the ride quality. I'm proceeding with the purchase.

A very informative, (even for a new owner) and enjoyable review - thank you. The dash cam requires you to hoot when an incident occurs, a period before and after the event is recorded. Also, a solid state storage device to replace the existing stick located in the glove box. So right about the app Paul; brilliant. As for it's looks: for me, the MY is much better looking than the M3.(of course the S is the real beauty of range.) I recently received my Red/White LR with Gemini wheels which I run naked. I never tire of looking at the car from different angles. I agree that the car is not as beautiful as the sum of those lovely different angles; I see echoes of 60's and 80's Italian styling. Perhaps I have an over fertile imagination. What really matters is that I love the car to bits whether in or out and, of course, she is wonderful to drive....sometimes I have to pinch myself to prove I'm not dreaming.

And yes, trying to change settings on the screen while driving is very dangerous - i can't recall the nbr of near misses i had during my 3 day drive. A traditional screen in front of the steering wheel would be essential for me. I'd have to look at the after market options. And while I'm at it, the voice cmd system sucks - not only is it not intuitive, you have to put on a slight American drawl for the computer to recognise your voice. It's these small issues that really detract from what is essentially a great car (but too expensive for what it is).

Great review, very informative. I cannot get past the plain dashboard and lack of anything aside from the screen... I could not spend my $ on this. There is so much choice now.

+1, it's just too plain and boring (not to mention much less functional)

Paul can we get new Polstar EV review please.

Thanks Paul, really excited for you and for the great honest review. I was contemplating on the model Y and greatest concern is w the ride comfort. Am driving the 5 series G30 where comfort is immaculate. Pls do a video again when you take delivery, fingers crossed the 19 inchers would be noticeably more forgiving.

Too bad it is slow AF.. So you have firm ride for nothing 😂

Thanks Paul. Ordered std version also. Was waiting for your review as I haven't had a test drive yet. Worry about the ride quality as heard the same from different people. Hopefully it doesn't put me off as waited a long time for Model Y to arrive in AU. Really keen to know how do you go with 19" wheels, if you find a solution for the ride. Thanks Paul

@@tasd5673 I was waiting for my test drive . Booked it on 3rd July, did it finally. I am happy with the Model Y ride after my test drive on Sydney streets and all their potholes! It was firm, true, but not as much I didn't use to or dislike. Mrs and kids also didn't complain about it. I am happy with the car and keeping my Model Y order, will cancel the Model 3 order made almost 4 months ago. Model Y is worth the extra wait.

Ive ordered mine and since I’m a bmw M lover i guess im overjoyed to hear the ride is firm. But I appreciate not everyone is like me so its strange that Tesla didn’t add a dampening feature

Love your honest reviews, Paul. From a design perspective I think Tesla should have differentiated the headlights and tail lights to make it look distinctly different from the Model 3. It’s hard not to say it’s anything other than a bloated Model 3. Nonetheless, it’ll sell hundreds of thousands of units because of its practicality. If there’s one thing Tesla are good at, it’s doing things differently and challenging the norm - the Saab of current day IMHO.

They are the same part… Tesla is looking for manufacturing efficiency in every stage of the production process.

Is the model 3 really too small for a family car? I have an M135i xdrive and considering sidegrading to the model 3 because of rising fuel issues and having significant solar at home. The backseats are more spacious than in the BMW and the boot capacity is better as well. I suppose Y is bigger still so just more comfortable. We do get everythng in the BMW but it is a squeeze.

@ravingmad765 2 жыл бұрын

From the figures quoted, I'd say you could fit a 135 into the boot of a Y. I feel for you, selling the the 135, such an amazing car. The last of a breed. Actually don't!!

the hard ride would drive me nuts, my mate has a Polestar2 and it is also hard riding to the point of discomfort. I honestly do not see value in this car and would much prefer a Lexus at the same price or the 2022 RAV 4 hybrid AWD Cruiser we own for $20,000 less.
