Hahaha epic ending! Good to see that the ride quality aint a bottleneck for you to keep driving a Tesla. Nice videos, keep it up :D Greets from Holland

Got a Y with 4K miles and same efficiency with lot of motorway miles. I’m still watching your videos even though I own one 😂

That ending was so funny yet understandable if you have the finance.

Thanks for the conversions at 8:11 Whoever added those is the real hero

I've had mine for 14 months now but in North America. Not a single problem yet and I concur with all you've said about yours!

Love your work Richard. You bang out these vids giving fact after fact and no bullshit; It’s a winning recipe. Thanks for all the info. Can’t wait to ditch my Lexus hybrid in favour of a Y which is coming (I hope!) in September.

Great vid! I like how easy it seemed to order parts from Tesla and fix the damages yourself! Fairly cheap as well. Brilliant stuff.

Your videos ‘sold’ me a Model Y and the John O’Groats video convinced my wife we won’t be sat ‘for hours’ whilst it charges!! Thanks

Thank you very much for the video, especially km-mile conversion!

That ending was class haha, great review and awesome video!

Thanks for your recommendation. And have fun with the MY P! Looking forward to the vids including the beast

Great work, love the metric translation to kw/h/100km!

Hey just came here from carwow, love your content keep it up man!

Lol I love the ending 😂 Nicely done!

Such good content, as always, Richard. You and the team are banging out decent videos that I’m sure are helping drive up EV awareness & appetite. I’m debating whether to sell my 2017 MS 90D and get a MY through the company lease scheme…I think this video is persuading me towards the Y…

Another great video Can’t wait to get mine (mid - end June 🤞) Then it’ll be a trip to Bournemouth to visit you & get some upgrades/extras installed on the car, before it starts it’s life as a Taxi in & around Stansted airport 😊

My MYLR in grey delivery is showing July but has been jumping between May and July on an almost daily basis. I can’t wait and have all the accessories and home charger already installed just teasing me whenever I get home. Good honest video.

And it's sold already! good call!

That ending 😂😍👌

Done a similar distance in mine and it really is as good as you say. My complaint is that the paint is not tough enough, but with a front bumper that reasonably priced it could easily be replaced after around 3 years. Best car I've ever had, and by quite a margin. Glad to see you've now got the best colour combination ;)

Really great review I know exactly what you mean with the clicking sound in headliner on sunny days it seems to have settled down now

Love my Y too but mrs has Kerbed near side rear and front just two months in🙄. In all honesty I suspect the front may have been a rock or stone as it’s more a single point impact area. Good thing is that black/grey touch in paint hides a multitude of sins🙂. Brilliant car that’s a lot less crash prone suspension than my last Audi A3 sportback and much more practical too👍. Good video and nice ending😉

This is a fantastic video, cheers!

Good Morning Mr Symonds. I was so tempted when I saw her advertised. As you know from the Club, EDDs running wild due to awful situation in Shanghai. May/June now Aug/September. However, I will hang in for my Red/White/Geminis. Red seems to be the most delayed due, I suppose, to so few being ordered/batched. Thanks for another excellent video; to the manner born!

I drive the Telsa model 3 LG and did speak to a guy when we where charging last month, he had the model Y and told me he switched from Audi A6 avant and that Y had much more space. For me still to big and we are a family of 3. Still model 3 has more inside and also front rear trunk space then my A4 avant before.

As always Rich! Good work son xx from New Zealand.

Thanks again for lending Matt the Model Y

Can’t wait for mine ordered blue/white 19” last year

That ending though... Brilliant! ^_^

Carwow, just subscribed 🔥

I ordered a MYLR Blue/Black at the start of the month and (so far) it’s due at the end of June. Though, I know that that could possible change due to Shanghai lockdown this Quarter. Can’t wait!

😂!! Brilliant and unexpected ending!! You must have ordered that a while back as white a big waiting times now… Brilliant car… unless things change massively in 3 years when my model 3 lease ends, I will swap for a model Y no doubt, white interior, 20” wheels (you convinced me there!😉 as definitely prefer Michelin tyres), acceleration boost… 👍👍

Brilliant ending. I got mine a month ago and I just cant stop driving it, though at this price point I would have wanted a bit more comfort but hey no complaints especially when I look at the gas prices :)

the suspense at wondering what the heck you would be replacing it with.... brilliant ending !!

Black 👌 Great video mate

Was sad to see you selling the model Y on. Thought what would that mean for future vlog content. Then epic ending of another Model Y 😀. Keep up the great content.

Amen .... the hymn of praise was brilliant

Great video and epic end! haha ;D

Nice one. We have a 2020 Model 3 LR and are testing cars to replace it next March. So far the BMW iX3 is our favourite of the competition but the Model Y takes some beating as an overall package.

Same in china (work and live in china but from uk) we’ve used ours for 15 months and it’s worth more now than when I bought it

Black is always the best colour🤷👍💯

In a California Y I had a rattle near the driver's B pillar. I exercised the shoulder belt height adjustment and it stopped.

Great honest review of the model Y, when you changed the bumper why did you not re apply the number plate holder, I just feel it doesn’t look right with the curve.

I did notice that seat belt buckle rattle in my model y too,

With the recent price drop we are seriously considering pulling out of the ioniq 5 and moving to a model Y.

Great video as usual, noticed no badge on the back .

Nice ending 😁

I ordered a blue Model Y with white interior just like yours about a month ago, expect delivery in September

I’ve curbed my MY loads on the black rims , actually it was my wife lol. I love it as much as you say. Huge, fun, amazing and the ride quality isn’t a big problem cause it’s just so damn fun and so damn big

Black does not work well in the American South. Love my new blue long range. Great review!

I prefer it in the blue 🤣 super review 👍

Well done Richard for lending the Model Y to Mat, just seen the carwow race

You did well to be able to get a new one… I have been waiting for ages and despite being told I was down for a May delivery I am still waiting and nobody can give me any indication as to when it will arrive 🤷🏻‍♂️ I can see why yours has held its value

Got mine on order Tesla site says Sept - Oct delivery can't wait

Being in the US, I love my 2023 model Y long range vehicle which I just recently picked up from Tesla. The features this vehicle has are amazing and still learning many of them. My model Y vehicle came with HW4 and the newer cameras. The model Y gives me plenty of storage space, Dual motor AWD, single pedal driving, and the seating front and back have plenty of room for all of us. Being retired, the vehicle is mainly for around town driving, short single charge trips, and do home charging which takes no time at all to charge from 70 to 90 percent most the time. I do not plan at this time to get the EAP or FSD addon driving options. The basic Auto Pilot should be good enough for me right now - if so desired, I can always buy the other modes of driving. Nice to have the Sentry and dashcam modes. I only turn them on when I am out driving around and parking at different locations. I turn them off when back home. Still debating whether I want to keep the Premium connectivity for all the added screen extras. I mainly listen to the radio and never have time to do the streaming or internet features, too busy driving. Do I really need the great graphical maps - not sure yet, haven't really used them yet. Thanks for your video review and take care.

Got mine coming (supposedly) in July cant wait !

I like red. My Model 3 is red and if/when I change the next one will be red too. Recently came across one thing I don't like. The emergency door release in the back.

God damn! I love this car. Cant wait to have it down under! C'mon Tesla!

Another great warts and all video. Wish I could afford one though.

What PSI do you recommend for comfort in the model y I saw on one of your videos you have a bit lower but can’t find it

fantastic video as always mate, and an unexpected twist. I was wondering to myself which one you'll replace it with, and second later got my answer 😜 safety and cameras are biggest factors for me when considering Tesla over competition having more luxurious interiors or ride quality. I didn't know about cost of part replacement, so that was good information that you covered. your videos are very informative and pleasant to watch. keep 'em coming

P.S. What's your take on punctures; carry a spare, foam, or call the road services. Weirdly perhaps, I have no range anxiety but lots of puncture worry due to bad run flat experience with the X3.

Worth mentioning that tyres wear faster in EVs due to weight. The cost to replace four 20” eg. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is over £1,000! That’s necessary expenditure about every two years doing average mileage. For example, my 2021 M3LR has done 25,000 miles and there’s about 1mm of legal tread left in the MPS4s. So keeping the car for five years (above average) would cost over £2,000 in tyres for a 20” wheel size. Weighing that cost against a new non EV, makes a huge difference to budgeting, especially as we have less servicing costs. We’re selling our Tesla and will wait until the 2024 MY is released before considering buying another EV.

great video apart from the sentry mode assumption. my BMW has the same feature since 2018 that allows me to record as i'm driving and parked and can view video live or via the cloud. plus alerts me of crashes, etc. plus side over the tesla is that it doesn't drain my battery in 5 days if left at an airport. overall MY is the best electric family suv not the best family suv!

How much is the 19 inch wheel upgrade likely to impair the more refined ride? Is all of the improved comfort from the tyres or suspension revisions?

Hi Richard & Co, I've heard an awful lot of complaints about the firmness of the model Y ride and see there are air suspension kits available. Have you fitted any of these to a model Y and would you recommend it?

Another great video and captures my own thoughts on the Model Y just over 1k miles in. I test drove the car on 20s but ordered the 19s with it being a lease car and would agree that there’s no appreciable difference in ride quality. I do have the occasional headrest rattle sadly, but nothing compared to the child seats (or children in them!). Worth noting the live camera view is only available with a premium connectivity subscription I think? Oh and I covered my wood with a carbon effect trim but your alcantara ones do look good…are they available by mail order? 😁

You won’t have any problem selling that beauty. Sold my ‘19 long range 3 for almost what I paid for it new then 5 days later took delivery of my 2022 LR 3 that I paid $1k less for out the door 🤑

Ordered a Model Y end of Feb, actually test driving this week. Had been thinking of cancelling and trying a used Ioniq 5 instead, but with used prices as they are I can probably just keep it for a few months and sell if it doesn’t work out for me.

I have a similar annoying rattle on occasions in the back of my model 3. Just cannot find it. We are going down to one vehicle so the wife has decided to sell her car and that I will sell my model 3 and we will get a model Y. Absolutely no chance I said so yesterday we ordered a model Y 😂 Red with 19s although now I am regretting not ordering the 20s. September to November delivery though so I can still enjoy the model 3 for now.

Also of note - there are a lot of issues with the camera recording system at the moment, awaiting firmware fix. Mine is very unpredictable and not much use. I have had dashcams on all my cars and motorcycles for 10 years.....I need a separate reliable dashcam on the Tesla.

If you are considering a MY , I strongly recommend you spend the extra £2100 for the turbine wheels. You will regret it if you don’t.

I’m looking forward to a Ford Ranger lightning ⚡️.👍🇬🇧

You should do a 5,100mile review next!

3 months in with my model 3 sr. Unreal tech. Unreal car. Only downside is the alloys. Never had an issue catching alloys before but already done it twice. Muscle memory lagging behind But, still the best car i’ve ever owned and it’s not even close

I test drove the Model Y last week in Bristol (I am an ID4 owner), delivery date was quoted as November. They offered me nearly what I paid for my ID4 in part exchange. Sadly the car was too "sporty" with harder suspension and a lot more power for my wife, the seats were uncomfortable for me (too much lumbar support), I was glad to get back in the ID4 and switch on my massage seats. I must be getting old...........

Rear passenger space isn't class leading in shoulder width, it's actually identical to Model 3, not great for 3 adults (a smaller Enyaq provides more on this metric) 3:17

Sentry mode, as Richard described is excellent. However I rarely use it because it drains the battery quite quickly. The time it would be most useful, perhaps an airport car park… is the most challenging, because you risk 20% SOC when you return from your vacation.

Great content , enjoyed the performance boost drag race too. My son picked up a black MYL Same day you got your blue one. You fitted the fantastic alcantara dash upgrade same day for him. Any ideas as to where from and when my MYP might turn up here in the U.K.? Just no info anywhere..

Even on the 3 it seems like the rear seatbelts don't "rest quite right" by the seat

Have you driven the model y performance? Is the ride quality that much worse with the 21's? And is performance of the car worth it over the LR with acceleration boost? I'm torn between the two

Thank you for this review! Can you also say something about the comfort of the Model Y LR (with 20 inch wheels) vs the Model Y Performance? Or make a video about it.. :-)

Rich, why did I feel pressured into buying the car watching this video, if it comes with free floor mats and a full tank, i'll have word with the Mrs, oh! don't forget the free coffee/hot chocolate 😂🙂

I love my model 3 but I wish I’d gone for the model y

Great honest review Richard albeit I'm surprised Tesla are letting you buy another new one within such a short period, that's assuming it's another one straight out of the wrapper?

So I've been checking out Insurance for the Y , in the UK its group 50 , why if parts are so reasonable and it has multiple systems to prevent accidents?

The only "complaint" I would have is the center wheel column, it could have an air conditioner passthrough stand for a center wheel screen that has the speed, turn signal indicator, cruise control set speed , warnings for proximity while parking, acceleration and regeneration settings , battery and range level , active and normalized consumption and overall sound volume , so if you want to play something it will not start at maximum volume by surprise. But what i wish for the next year , the 2024 model and onward to have , are aor suspension and air line outlet for pumping the tires or air mattrises with dual settings of either volume or pressure , and an automated two level sun roof cover of 50% mesh and 100% refpector with insulated bottom for burn avoidance, and maybe window 50% mesh that can also be used as insect (mosquitos) shield for camping and for insect filled areas where you want natural air from the windows, using the same 50% mesh from the sun roof, but having it reinforced with spider pattern wire that makes children unable to rip it apart.

Reclining seat option in the back? I was pretty sure that came as standard mate.

A bit of a letdown that the front armrest isn't white too. The rear armrest could use the type of cupholder that slots in and out, giving you the full armrest to use it as such. I also hope you will get an option to turn off the "lasers" from the sentry mode.

Damn it I’m thinking of changing my colour combo now

Thank you for lending us your car from car wow

in my model 3 long range I have a avg. life time consumtion of 170 kh/km.

Happy with my 19's at 42psi the tyres are fairly good, very expensive to replace. handling is good wouldn't want softer suspension setup. before you sell the car we need a drag race with the new one with performance boost to see what the difference is?

Some lucky person going to get a amazing FUN BIG SPACE SHIP Tesla Y 😀🌍👍WOW

got to admit the black looks nice...

No loading fix in boot ?? why did they not put one in for tie down ??

Looking forward to ours being delivered, hopefully not too long 🤞 Any recommendations for insurance in the UK, getting some crazy inconsistencies in the quotes so far

TMY in black just looks so good.. Bu ill never buy one. IMO the black paint is just the worst and is so easy to get scratches on. ant they are also so visible and they get soo hot in the sun. ill stick with my white one. But i like the review and i basically agree on all you said about the car.

Agree on most things but a HUD is an absolute must these days I think. The safety and convenience of it such an improvement I don't understand how can you just brush it off as not needed...

Of course the detrimental effect of 20’s over 19’s is the loss of range. I much prefer how they look over the 19’s though
