Here's a breakdown with links: Model Y Front Lip: geni.us/myfrontlip Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap: geni.us/mycfmirror Fog Light Canard: geni.us/myfogcover The front part is vinyl cut using matte black to create the shape around the fog lights. Also the headlights have a smoked PPF that was applied to make them look darker.*

I have a Model 3 and everyone always sarcastically asks how inconvenient it is for me to always having to plug it into charge and for how often I have to charge compared to refilling with gas but the funny thing is these are co-workers and they don't never realized that our company supply's free EV charging. So in past year. I've only visited a gas station twice both times was grabbing a drink and I never charge at home nor have to pay at all. I've prolly have paid about $20-25 max in the 4-5 times I've used supercharging in past year.

My Model S lost 10 miles of range in the first year and then 3 miles of range in the following 6 years. I think the initial drop in range from the EPA best case is more to do with an ongoing recalculation of range due to actual usage than battery degradation. The following years of range loss are probably all battery degradation. Great video btw you really captured the benefits so well. My Tesla is probably the best product I have ever bought.

I've gone for the former as the performance is good enough for me - 0-100kM/Hr in 6.9. Mine is white - I only ever buy white vehicles to reflect the heat and to be safer than a lot of other colours re visibility. My interior will be black though! I already have an EV which my wife and I are keeping. The BYD Atto 3. This is a sensational smaller SUV so we're used to the huge benefits of driving an EV already. Thank you once again.

It is quite normal for new cars / models to have same issues at the start... They all get fixed after sometime and should not keep you from buying a new car at all. The main issue with Tesla (here in Europe) is that service network is still at its first steps. The closest one to my home is 60-100mi away, parts are rarely available and take months to arrive. And even insurance companies have difficulties getting prices for spare/new parts from Tesla :)

@williambodine4105 Жыл бұрын

I picked up my 2021 Model Y Long Range in Dec. '20 also. Dec. is usually the time when the model year changes. (the 10 digit of the VIN indicates the model year.) From an investment standpoint, it always makes sense to get the newest model year you can. You didn't mention depreciation. Teslas will eventually depreciate, but at a much lower rate than other cars. I do find the suspension to be overly stiff (and I have the smaller 19" Gemini wheels). The road noise on coarse pavement could be quieter. Lots of buzzes and rattles from throughout the interior on bad roads. One last thing, about 90% of my charging is done at home, and I have solar. Everyone is complaining about $6.00 gas and I am basically driving for free. You can't beat that.

The reduction in miles you are seeing is not battery degradation, it is the trip algorithms based on how you drive. Battery degradation would be a reduction of how much charge you can put in to fill a battery. If you are getting real degradation after 1 year there is a serious problem. Before a long trip put your car on charge and use the cabin pre-heat function, this will warm the batteries and give you more miles. Great video and cinematography

@Tokamak3.1415 2 жыл бұрын

Nice video. Just wanted to point out that you can hit that 303 range with your MY, just drive it at 60mph. Air resistance work to the cubic of the speed, so going 80 (like I saw near the end of the video) is going to face about 2.4 times air resistance as going 60. Rolling resistance and all the other stuff will still be there, but the car won't be fighting the air as hard. Of course you'll arrive at your destination later, but sometimes going just 5mph slower can actually keep you from having to hit a supercharger and can end up saving you time, especially if the stalls are busy like on Thanksgiving. I also drive with my family so arriving safely is top priority and lower speeds are usually safer (although I have worn enough tires doing hot laps in my younger years). I was driving my MX 75D up to Mammoth last week in sub-freezing temps with 5 people and luggage - cutting the speed saved me 1 supercharge. It's more work, but I also avoid autopilot and manually control the throttle to avoid as much over acceleration and subsequent regen - helps to eek out the miles on those long stretches. Some people like to follow large semis but I prefer not having my windshield eat rocks or not see a blow tire shred until it's too late to swerve.

@colingenge9999 Жыл бұрын

I agree that driving on auto pilot does not get as much range as me driving and that should’ve been obvious to the reviewer if you simply observe the extra little accelerations and decelerations that full self driving does to both maintain speed and to adjust the following distance for the car in front.

@cgamiga 2 жыл бұрын

Model 3/Y don't have air suspension, and do have a firmer "sporty" ride. The very comfy front seats do help a lot... I don't really notice it much (model 3)... but rear get bounced slightly more. Also note, Performance models do bit worse, as they have bigger 20-21" wheels and smaller sidewall tires, which ride harder than the 18-19" default wheels and tires... (and are also more susceptible to pothole damage, too, careful!) Consider it a sport luxury vehicle, and it should be comparable... eg it's bouncier than my old minivan, but seems similar to even wife's Camry SE, let alone maybe a BMW 3 series. Best to maybe test drive yourself , to see if deal breaker for you... but the rest of the car is SO awesome, you may forgive it. Test drives are also very easy and often touchless, all done w/ your smartphone and keycards etc!

Great review, Armando! I've also only had one major problem since buying my Long Range Model Y at the end of April 2021 and that was climate control stopped working about 3 weeks after purchasing, but that was fixed at an appointment shortly after (albeit a terrible service appt in Denver). One thing that seems really odd to me is the range you're getting along with your friend. I use my Model Y to camp all around the US (mainly the West), have driven over 22,000 miles and my EPA range is 328, but in reality when testing on initial few trips I was getting around 305. That was in the spring from Nashville to Minneapolis. I then installed a cargo box and while it did drop my range considerably (around 25%), it was still around 225 which is what I currently still get with the cargo box on the roof. You do have a performance model and I have a long range, but you not getting enough to get to Las Vegas seems like maybe there's something wrong with your battery pack. Your friend also only getting 100 miles range in the winter seems really low compared to friends that live in Minneapolis and get way more. I've talked to literally hundreds of owners while on the road and never heard stories with ranges that low. Seems like maybe you guys got some duds. What does Gene say about theirs? Same? One other thing to note... You mentioned service appointments and I was just up for a tire rotation and while I could have brought it to any tire store for $20-$30 I just went in the Tesla app and booked a mobile service appt where they came to my house and rotated the tires for $50 flat. Didn't have to go anywhere and was done in about 20 minutes. So far it's been my favorite car I've ever owned. I love the performance even on the long range and Autopilot is fantastic on long trips, but savings vs gas along with Camp Mode are what won me over. Anyways... really enjoyed the review 😀

@mondobytes 2 жыл бұрын

Not going to lie I'm a bit bummed that I can't reach Las Vegas on a full charge. Again, not big of a deal because even in a gas vehicle we ALWAYS stop at Barstow to eat which there's also Superchargers so it works out. But even when I've tried to do the run without stopping it always makes me charge at Baker otherwise I won't make it. So here's an embarrassing story, I too was excited that Tesla comes to your house and rotates the tires. I scheduled an appointment for them to come rotate my tires and I forgot that Performance Model Y has staggered wheels 🤦‍♂️ In regards to my friend I found out that his Model 3 doesn't have the newly added heat pump which makes a big difference in cold conditions.

Losing 23 miles per year bc of Battery degradation is scary. Thanks for sharing that note!!

@jimdon7377 9 ай бұрын

that is due to the way you drive, if you use more energy per driving cycle the car calculates the miles based on the energy you used, if you drive very conservative the car will show you more miles when you charge, doe not have anything to do with battery degradation. It is like this for other electric cars, and plug ins.

Great video. You've got your car reviewer "stepping out of the car while talking to the camera with a pause to close the door" down perfectly. I'm waiting for my Y LR. Can't wait for the instant drama free torque, I do enjoy the drama filled acceleration in my Charger R/T, but the test drive of the Y LR proved to me there's something about the whole experience. Oh, and 120 mile range between gas station visits in the Charger are getting old!

Great vid. One thing with the range. If u slow down from 75mph to 55, the consumption decreases around 30%. Weather such as rain or cold affects the range of course also, but the biggest thief is that drag. Waiting for my Y LR, and I can’t wait👍🏻

Your videos are always wonderfully created! Intro was fantastic! I believe you said that you had the mach-e as well, how did you like that compared to the model y? Have the cybertruck on reservation but really still go back and forth between the model y and the the mach-e.

Armando, great unbiased review.

@FelixCervantes 2 жыл бұрын

Did we watch the same reviews? Armando is one of the most biased reviewers out there especially if he owns the equipment that he is reviewing. He always glosses over anything negative. It was the same in this video. He dismissed the horrible build quality of a Tesla. The issue with the lights should have never happened. He stated that he likes how Tesla is always changing the internals of a car, to me that means poor engineering. Also, it leads to Tesla cars that look like they visited Home Depot before they were shipped. Plus after 10 years, they cannot install doors and hood properly. Name one other car company that has trouble with that?

How much this car costs? 15% battery degradation if 1 year! Also getting 66% of the advertised range! Not sure if you will stay happy like you are right now, this seems like an awful investment! How much these batteries are expected to last to be practically good and how much it will cost to replace them?

@KR8ZYHORS3 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty biased review. Yea you don't have a lot of maintenance upkeep but you do have to eventually change the battery in like 5 years and that'll run you around 10k. You're paying luxury car prices minus the luxury. Horrible quality control on the body. Charging the car is a pain in the ass if you can't do it at home, everybody is getting teslas so there are now long wait times just to charge your car at different charging stations.

@bryanhauer 2 жыл бұрын

Everything you said is a complete lie. Batteries are under warranty for 8 years and are good for 22+ years. Drove 22k miles in last 8 months and only had 2 times where charging was an issue and almost never have to wait at Superchargers.

Hi Armando, I just saw your video with Geebs and I enjoyed it. I am writing to you regarding your tires. I have a late 2021 MYP which came like yours with pirelli's summer tires. I sold mine after 2000 miles and replaced them with Michelin all season pilot 4. What I also did, I went to 295/35/21 in the back and 275/35/21 in the front and it has made a great difference in the ride quality, as well as road handling because of the wider tires. Keep up your great work.
