And if not mentioned before, let's not forget the superb audio that comes a standard in that car, It knocks the socks off almost anything else out there

The way he closed the frunk would have him on the naughty spot in my house. It's supposed to be a gentle close.

I remember I used to hate tesla and now me and my wife both have one as a daily😭the convenience is just overwhelmingly good. It's like the first time I bought a smartphone.

If you filmed the video a few months ago it’s already outdated. Check the news Top Gear, there are some changes coming to the Model Y’s that will be delivered to the UK. Bigger 82 kWh battery, new AMD computer chip (faster), double glazed windows front and back, etc. If you release a video a few days before the actual deliveries start with outdated info is not very cleaver from Top Gear and will confuse people.

Most reviewers, including this en, tend to miss the point that the voice command capabilities in teslas is exceptional - you really don’t need to use the touch screen for most common functions like navigating, temperature, heated seats, making calls, opening glove box etc. once you get comfy with the commands. Definitely the most underrated feature!

Very few reviewers mention that the reason the nose of the 3/Y looks a bit funny is because they have basically the lowest aerodynamic drag in the world (for cars of their class). What people see as bad design from an aesthetic point of view is actually fantastic design from an efficiency/range point of view.

The 20" wheels are additional cost options. MY comes standard with 19" wheels which cosmetically don't look as cool, but standard wheels provide a smoother ride and better range.

Never been a fan of Teslas or any other ev’s, until my wife got her Model 3. Remarkable cars. Sold my ‘20 Volvo V60 CC and expecting my Y LR this month. As u said in the video, one heck of an all-rounder. Cant’t wait.

If your charger sucked - it warned you immediately - red blinking light on the port and warning on a screen, also mobile app would have sent you a notification

To be fair, autopilot works just great here in Norway as well, quite different to California :) Its sort of connected to speed limits which is probably why top gear is having issues on the round track. However if its snow on the road, it wont let me activate it, and I wouldnt trust it on the snow either.

10:45 This guy claims it makes him uncomfortable prior on the video how much he has to look away from the road because of the center mounted touchscreen. Then proceeds to go 131mph on the ring high sloped track while staring at the camera that's positioned way more out of sight than the screen.. xd?

I absolutly love my Tesla. Been in the automotive industry all my life and driven many many cars but I have never felt as safe as I do when I drive my Tesla. I also didnt know traffic lights could be so much fun!

Top Gear couldn’t figure out how to check the app to see if the car is even charging. And he’s wearing a butchers coat as to look like a scientist with black pens for added effect. Can’t make this up 😂😂

Not a bad review. My biggest disappointment watching reviews is when the reviewer does not thoroughly know the car, as in this case. I've found that in general the people who don't like Teslas don't fully know them. I was a little put off by the front end appearance of the Models 3 and Y at first, but it's a "form follows function" design done very well. I now find this car very attractive in it's own way and prefer its design over cars like the ID4, Mustang and Ioniq 5. I find it has a very utilitarian appeal for me. I have reserved a Model Y because for me it will be more practical than the smaller, lower Model 3. i've driven the Model Y with the 19" and 20" wheels. The ride is noticeably better with the 19" wheels.

Drive model 3 in Bruges, autopilot works well. You must have upsetted it by try to turn it on over 90mph, it is not gonna, and will punish you until your next drive.

I just picked up a Model Y Performance and I have been throughly impressed. It's a much better car than my BMW X3. My concerns about the fit and finish before taking delivery were unwarranted and the red paint is lovely. The accessories do add up, though, if you are interested in personalizing your car.

Tesla Model Y does have a change of being the most sold car in the world by next year. Just an amazing car!

How's sentry mode a gimmick??

Top Gear - FALSE, Tesla Autopilot works up to 69 mph on Highways, it probably did NOT allow Autopilot because its NOT a RESTIERED Highway. next time TEST on the Autobahn or some OTHER Registered highway.

As far as the controls and touchscreen, almost all commands can also be initiated by voice commands as well as on the touch screen. For the wipers for example, are automatic wipers that sense when it is raining and turn on automatically. But you can also tap the button on the end of the left stalk and it will give you a quick swipe of wipers plus pop the wiper menu up on the screen. Or you can also just tell it to "turn on the wipers" or "increase wiper speed" or "decrease wiper speed". If you want to open the glove box you can tap it on the menu on the screen in the submenu or you can say "open glove box". You can tell it to turn on the seat heaters or turn them off. You can tell it to turn on just the drivers seat heater, etc. It is like this with almost all functions.

*Tesla have come a long way and paved the way for so many companies to follow* 😄

If it takes 11 hours maximum to charge, well you're not charging it from completely empty, and once it's at max that'll last most people a week. So you wouldn't even need to plug it in right away when you arrive home. And twice a week would be more than enough for 99% of people. Ive heard people complain about superchargers (cause of the time) but for those with homes it's more convenient. Which is really worse for some, better for the rest. I like the idea of charging at home and not having to head to garages

i have one and its perfect, red outside white inside.

Nice American accent. Are you impersonating a Tesla representative from Mississippi from the 1940’s who is running for Mayor? If so, you nailed it.

I was so disappointed after Clarkson & co were kicked out that I haven't watched any Top Gear ever since. Now I finally did and I have to say I'm utterly and completely pleased with what you have done, I could not have asked for more from the quick one day review and might have to return to watching Top Gear again. Thank you.

Nice detailed review. I own a Model Y and I think he outlines my same pros and cons. For my family, it is indeed the efficient use of space in an EV plus charging infrastructure and technology that makes it work so well for us. I also acknowledge the shortcomings of rough ride, poor rear visibility and maybe not so solid build quality relative to other luxury marques (this is personally less of a problem for me).

There are many videos of 10.9 fsd driving in many places around the US not just California...

I've been driving a dual motor model 3 for over 2 years, and I'm a very happy owner

Model Y doesn’t take 11 hours to charge at home. 11 kW home charger, will charge it in under 7 hours!

We've had our YLR here in Norway since August, it came on the very first boat. Compared to our Model S it had one big drawback in winter: In order to be more efficient, Tesla normally uses only the rear motor both for acceleration and regen, this caused a lot of fishtailing on drives up into the Telemark mountains, but now over the last few weeks they have added an undocumented Snow Mode: When it detects that it is very slippery, it starts this mode which will then use front and back motors approximately 50/50, even if that causes a few percent efficiency loss.

This is going to be the number one global vehicle sold by number of units delivered in either 2022 or 2023

This is a very impressive and versatile test track for basically everything but deep potholes! Really cool to see! Also, excellent test video all in all!

Model y looks like a small SUV Porsche that Porsche never made. Absolutely gorgeous! Model 3 looks like the best-looking BMW 3 series that BMW never made... If you do not like the looks of these cars then you are shitting on the rest of the industry by comparison, IMO.

You don’t need a rear wiper unless the back window is more vertical. I could be wrong, but I don’t recall ever seeing a rear wiper on that kind of back window.

The autopilot is speed limited on your test track because the car has no speed limit data. On the road, it's using GPS data as well as speed sign recognition to know what the limit is. Your track isn't a road, so... It makes sense to not assume a high speed limit.

I’ve owned my MY (LR with acceleration boost ) for a couple of weeks. It replaces a 2020 m Sport X5 (a car I liked to look at , but was less happy driving) I’m shocked how good the MY is ! Your review above is spot on ! Other journalists have slated it. I love the MY and I’m very defensive of it. Your review was beautifully worded and accurate! I admire you !

Top gear is still biased to Tesla after all these years lol...

"Is it worth the price to sit that much higher" 180,000,000+ soccer moms would say yes.

Not sure what was going on with Autopilot on the racetrack ?? We use it every day and it's phenomenally good.

That was an absolutely authentic "American" accent, if anyone was wondering.

There is a 7 seat option in NA. The Model Y in this test is from Shanghai and they don't have the 7 seat version for some reason. Berlin will have the 7 seat configuration.

"Tesla's best all rounder yet" Sounds pretty good. Some useful bits you didn't mention: (1) I think you can manage the screen by voice. Very well. (2) Steering assist (not FSD) is very very helpful on all roads. (3) Over the air updates is really a "Killer App" that no one else seems to have figured out yet, under $200,000. Something wrong with the car? Is there a new feature we want to add? It will be put into your car overnight. Wherever in the world you happen to be.

Loved your video and love the West Wing! Especially your airplane hand signal. 😃

It actually has more Aluminium in the structure than a Model 3, as the Y has the one-piece rear gigacasting.

I have Aug 2020 M3P. I will change for MYP if I can get range of 640km and if TESLA provides a revised, slightly more aggressive rear diffuser and revised bumper with a harmonious front lower and extended lip. We need to distinguish the Performance Models from the other trim levels!

Excellent review. FYI, I loved the self-driving and use it a lot!

I have a 7 seater model Y. Not sure what the guy on the video is quoting. A simple visit to their website would have easily handled that.

We can clearly see that the car was driving itself perfectly! Who are you trying to fool!?

This is the first review I have seen where they are complaining about visibility! Bollocks!

Rear seat passengers can control rear seat heat and AC on their smartphones via the Tesla app

My question is why are you adjusting the wing mirrors or steering wheel while driving? For the license test if you do any of that in front of the examiner, you fail automatically.

Great video, it cant be easy to say something interesting about such a widely reviewed car but this was good, thank you.

Jeez. You can control most if the stuff with voice control. No need to mess with the screen while driving. Why not mention that?

5:20 remember yourself calling a yoke steering wheel “nonsense”. We will come back here in couple of years. 😉

Good old steel? The model Y has actually more aluminum... Little mistakes along the way but a nice review

You said charging is 350miles per hour and that is incorrect. 250 or 350kwh

dismissing the yoke outright immediately kills any faith I have in your judgement

"I'm afraid it's bad news for the old guard again". It is. The Model Y will become the best selling car in the world.

Autopilot doesn't work at Millbrook because it isn't the public road and there isn't GPS map data for it (ie your sat nav won't know it either)

Tell me you don't understand drag racing, without telling me you don't understand drag racing. Top Gear: Challenge accepted! We do it the European way, with no rollout!

I appreciate Top Gear for posting positive reviews on Tesla Model Y ... Teslas are best in their own way but very few appreciate it ...

Really, how often do you adjust the mirrors? They're part of your driver profile. No need for dedicated controls.

More advertisements than commercial television. Well done old chap!

Overall a positive review. Not bothered about seeing it driven at top speed because Im never going to do that nor will I be driving over cobbled streets all day. Shame no view or mention of the huge boot which is another major bonus of this car. Finally, yes everything is controlled via the screen, but also via voice control which will be far more convenient.

It likely disengaged autopilot because of the steep grade you were on at that moment meant for testing high speed cornering. That kind of grade doesn't exist on normal roads, it was nearly 45 degrees!

Did you damage the frunk with that slam at 8:46?

I’m surprised they didn’t stage this Tesla breaking down like they did the Model S in 2013. LOL!

8:45 I just died a little when he closed that fr.... hood

Not sure where they got these horsepower figures, LR is 384, the Performance is 456. Note the LR can get a $2k priced software unlock for about 420 HP with 0-60 mph time if 4.3 seconds. Since this aired suspension was reworked with Comfort suspension with spring and damper tuning.

By "Top Gear Test Facility" you mean the widely used Millbrook ?

Thank you for a great review. I will put my order soon.

I’ve been waiting 4 years for it to come to Australia and it still isn’t here. I bought my Golf R Wagon 4 years ago, the end of lease is up in June. I’m glad I got the golf and didn’t hold off hoping the Y would be available in 2019

I love ur Texan-ish American impersation lol

Do a review of the Cadillac Escalade pls :)

Very excited to be collecting mine on March 16th 😎

Why is there no RWD in the UK and are there any plans for us to get one ???

You didn't put the steering in sport mode? Why?

Er 20inch wheels aren’t standard. The visibility is amazing. You want to look out the window use the rear view cam 0.5s tap. Who has ever ever adjusted mirrors whilst driving…this takes maybe 2s max…Autopilot is amazing works every time for me. What was the user doing wrong!? It won’t engage unless it knows road speed, signs etc…

It's so sad that Top Gear has ended up like this. At least with the OG 3 it was entertaining, this is just a really meh review. So many other youtube reviewers do a much better job.

Will I get along with the tech? A way to assuage concerns of those with tech phobia: can you use a smartphone? If yes, you'll get along just fine.

No Acceleration Boost? I did purchase it for mine and can get 0-100 km/h in 4.35 sec and the 1/4 in 12.57 was worth it it’s more fun to drive 👍

Good review, just one critisism. You do not need a rear wiper due to the aerodynamics

Probably made it slower by having left foot on brake, you just need to mash the power pedal. 🙂

Late last year I test drove the model 3 and a Ford Mach E. I really wanted a non-Tesla, since I have a Model X and thought it would fun to have another brand sitting in the garage next to it. Also, I would have been able to take the Ford home right away, while the Tesla would take about six months. Though after driving the Ford, it goes to show you how used to something you become. When I got in the Ford it just felt like it was from another era. It was built solid, but not as great as the reviews suggested. The screen was laggy and the screen UX looked like it was designed in the late 90s. The rest of the interior was very nice, but conventional. In comparison, my four year old Tesla Model X still felt more modern. The Model 3 was in a different league entirely and, with the white interior, looks like it was designed by Saarinen. When I went to place the order for the 3, I ended up deciding to go with the practicality of the Y. The exterior is not my favorite, but there aren't any fake grilles or vents, and it's a clean purposeful and authentic design. The hatch makes it more useful and the height make it more pleasant driving in NYC traffic. I took delivery two weeks ago and couldn't be happier. The performance on the back roads is outstanding, which is what I appreciated about the Model 3. The double glazed side glass make it much quieter than previous Model 3's I'd been in. Oh, and I found a good trick... if you give the washers stalk a quick jab, the wiper controls automatically pop up on the screen! Makes it much easier if you need to adjust them. I do wish the seat heaters were persistent on the screen, and the section containing the image of the car on the left occupied less space that could be used for the map. Overall though, there is no question why people love these things.

I’m in America and I got a model y 7 seater. I don’t think they offer it yet in the UK

Ordered a Model Y LR in Graphite Grey and black 20” alloys. Getting it in June according to Tesla. Can’t wait😁😁 probably be a Giga Berlin built example🤞🤞🤞🤞

0:21 Ha! Over here in France & Switzerland, I've already seen my share of MYs in the last couple of months. And as of about a month ago, we actually own one (LR with standard options), too. 🥰

love the video

Old TopGear the best. 😪❤

13:09 "A family car should be more comfortable". This is actually answered at 13:40. Without a more expensive high quality adaptive suspension system you can't have both family car comfortable AND twisty road sharp corning handling. One has to give or you split the difference. Most car companies split the difference and have OK handling and OK comfort. Tesla I guess decided to go for handling to compliment its leading performance. With the Model S and X you get both with their adaptive suspension.

awesome review. Thanks. It might be more comfortable with 19 inches wheels.

I can live WITH a "boot" in the back. But please, I must reside in a Frunk.

What are the chances Autopilot will work on a road near you? 99.999%. You're trying to use it on a test track! Not a public road!

If i ever have a accident i hope im in a tesla , one of the safest cars in the world

Nice vid! There are clearly some knowledge gaps. The autopilot is made for main roads and highways. This means your test track is not recognised as one, hence the autopilot will reduce speed. Put it on a public road and the auopilot is clearly industry leading - even this version that is not FSD, which currently is being beta tested in the US

Is there any car in the world whose mirrors can be adjusted without looking away from the road? I mean you need to look at the mirror after all 😂.

With the steering if you put it in sport the feel is a lot better.

I like the yoke... 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

presenter isn't trying as hard as he did in the last vid., and he's better for it. Keep up the good work.

Wonderful review, thumbs up. Thank you for talking in miles too lol.
