Thanks! This is great to know - I'm taking delivery of this exact color soon :) looks like they're addressing the paint quality issues.

@@the_average_backpacker Yes, overall car does look good. I did see smaller scratches on the front bumper, may not be visible in this video. My advise if you can is to immediately put clear bra on the front bumper. Did that on my X3 and very happy I did that.

Model Y Performance would be fun to watch!

Please test the Model Y performance.

Thanks for your feedback and kind words. I have a specific format I like to review cars on, and this was my unbiased review of the Model Y. The biggest surprise to me was that Model 3 and Model Y were impressive cars to drive, so many people unknowingly buying a driver's car. Back in 2016 I drove Model S and was quite disappointed that it felt like a boat on twisty roads with bad body control, but looks like Model 3 and Y are a game changer. Curious about new Model S as well.

Yep We need more Non bois people like you! I is a great car to drive!

Nice, good you liked it and congrats on your new car. I think with Teslas build quality also matters. this Model Y that I rented I think had some issue with interior or acoustics that didn't feel right. I have then rented Model Y Performance and it didn't have any issues I mentioned about a regular Model Y.

Thank you for the feedback. Glad you liked it

Nice congrats on your Model Y Performance

Been three months since your post. Can you give us an update/feedback on your MYP?

Thanks for your feedback. Looks like you did exactly what I am explaining on my channel by renting a car and spending time with it. It is easier to make a decision once you spend enough time with a car.

Thanks for sharing. Mostly because it uses generator as well for braking. I am curious to see how Model Y Performance does as it has bigger brakes. Overal Tesla’s brakes are decent in most cases, you only see this delay during hard braking, just like you described in your scenario.

The performance stops much faster. I just wish you could get it with 20” wheels instead of the 21” uberturbines. Almost everyone I know sells them immediately and replaces them with 19” or 20” wheels, especially if you deal with winter conditions. The uberturbines are worthless to me.

Wow awesome. thanks for sharing.

I do agree on the sound system. I have Harmon Kardon in X3 M40i with 16 speakers. It sounds pretty great, but in Model Y because of the sound bar and sub woofer it just sounds more powerful and creates a feeling like you are at a live concert.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I am sure it is something you can get used to especially when you drive it daily. I also think it would be good for Tesla to introduce partition, which will help in the summer.

Thanks for your feedback and kind words. The reason I wanted to try low regen setting as we used to have Fiat 500E back in 2015 and it was like a go cart to drive with very low regen setting which made it feel like a regular car. I wanted to see similar thing on a Tesla, although once you spend enough time with Tesla you will start liking 1 pedal driving. It's just a matter of time.

I believe you are confusing it with "Stopping Modes" where you can choose between: roll, creep and hold. This is not regenerating breaking. You car still in one pedal driving mode where you let go of gas and it brakes pretty much to the stop. Tesla used to offer an option where you could go to Controls > Driving > Regenerative Braking and choose between Standard and Low regeneration where your car will coast more as you let go of the gas pedal. 3 Teslas that I had - none of them had these options. I was told they were removed by Tesla. I also heard that the latest software update was supposed to add regenerating breaking option back.

@@100miledrive I test drove a model Y last week and the person at the center said that the braking mode also changes the regenerative braking level. I did not try it, because I asked about it after my drive, but if that is true, that would be strange. What you want it to do at a stop should be different than the level of regenerative braking you want.

@@jiminauburn5073 I am a bit confused with this topic on regenerative braking in Tesla. I do hear that this option is there where i can turn off regen braking but when I do rent it I cannot find it. I will be getting another Tesla soon, will explore this option again.

😃😃😃 Ha, ha. I hope they don’t fix it yet as I need it for test drives. They already fixed a part of it near Ventura blvd. A bumpy road like this helps me listen and feel how shocks work and how car’s chassis responds to bumps. As you drive different cars you will be surprised how different cars feel completely different. Will be driving Model Y Performance there soon :)

@@100miledrive lol yeah Tampa’s been like that for years. I doubt they’ll fix it up anytime soon. Great content!

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like you are full on on Tesla. And, yes certainly Model 3 feels like a real sports car with very crisp steering and handling. I liked the feel of low center of gravity driving it on twisty roads. So between Model 3 and Model Y I feel Model 3 gives that emotional satisfaction of being so engaged while driving it. Model Y is more toned down as it should be, in fact maybe I would like to see even a bit softer ride on it but still very compliant.

@@100miledrive Great synopsis! As far as the ride goes. I ordered both vehicles with the smallest wheels because I like the ride quality of the taller tires. Most of my friends and family have the Performance versions and they all complain about the ride quality. Tesla recently re tuned the suspension on the Y for a more compliant ride. Tesla makes great vehicles that are imperfect but overall a joy to own.

@@RayNLANice. Yes wheel sizes certainly can affect the ride quality. I will be revieing Mode Y Performance to see how does the ride feel in that car

@@100miledrive That would be a great video. I’ll be sure to check it out. Thanks for replying

Bought a 3 last year and Y two months ago and rattles are my only complaint really. They come and go so it’s difficult to locate the source.

I can read some excitement in your comment. Looks like you are excited about your new upcoming Model Y. Well it's a different experience overall and for some it's an easy switch and for others it could be taking a bit more time. Also some people like Teslas for their tech I personally like them for the driving experience. They offer pure EV experience with good handling characteristics. Will be bringing more Teslas on the channel.

Thanks for your feedback. I was changing modes like you mentioned and did use Sport on the twisty roads. There is no other way to adjust steering input I believe, unless there is.

Yes nice color overall. I started liking black color with black wheels. Looks sleek.

Thanks for your feedback and kind works. Really happy to hear you liked it.

I will be making a video soon on Model Y Performance vs Long Range AWD. Make sure you are subscribed. I am also curious if $4,000 extra for the Performance trim is worth it or not.

Hmm OK. Don't remember now if I tried to readjust the seat belts. Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the feedback. I believe this is a stopping mode, like if you want it to hold or roll a little when coming to the stop, but if you let go of the gas pedal it will still come to complete stop. So essentially it is all 1 pedal driving. There used to be a setting where you could adjust regen level, so when you remove foot from the gas it will coast more rather than stop. I heard Tesla brought that feature back in the latest update, but none of the cars I had had this feature.

Thanks for the feedback. This is a long range model, I have just updated the Title of tur video. As for the wheels you could see on the video these are 19 inch Gemini wheels which are Base wheels.

Car looks clean in the video? Thank you

I am glad you liked it. I would recommend to rent one for a day and drive it, so that you can fully experience it. Otherwise I see how most people would get LR version as Performance is certainly not for everyone.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Much appreciated. This is also motivating to create more content to provide value many people looking for.

I don't believe this car had PPF or any other coating. This is what it looks from the factory. this is the most base version with base wheels.

Oh yes, here in California lots of Teslas

Thanks for the suggestion. I will bring more EVs on the channel

If you are keeping original wheels then I personally like Michelin tires, they are more pricey but offer a good blend of sport and performance. But you can explore more online in Tesla forums

In my opinion X3 M40i is a lot more fun to drive even though these are 2 totally different cars. Also if you are not against gasoline engines, 6 cylinder B58 is loud with crisp shifts. I made a short video discussing my X3 M40i and Model Y Performance on such terms. But if you don't care about engine sound etc.. then Model Y is a great car. Good steering, handling and good acceleration for the class. As long as you get a car with a good build quality.

Yes, heard about this one. A cool option to have. For an existing car maybe, but if considering to buy a new one, here in the US: Model Y Performance is only about $4K more to have more power, bigger brakes etc...

@@100miledrive *totally agreed* I wish I had a MYP, however I needed the better approach and departure angles of the LR. (And also couldn’t afford the extra $ !)

Noted. Mostly will be releasing comparison video in 2 weeks

Watched this video again. That was just stomping food on the pedal, but I was not pressing the pedal into the floor. I think it sounds on the video louder than it actually was.

Good catch. I didn't want to comment it not to get distracted :)

This is Long range AWD

I don’t really do true range tests on my channel for electric cars as it requires to have a car for a longer period of time. I will do this if I purchase an EV. I try to provide real world driving experience. Thanks

You don't need a sunshade fabric with the 2023 model y anymore. Yes, it's a very quiet car. Love it!

@@murd777 I do, but everyone's different.

Thanks for your feedback. I do believe that with the next Tesla model release they should include a sunshade done by factory. It really feels like a missing piece in the car especially when temperatures go above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. To me a huge indication of that when seeing how people are buying aftermarket parts and double tinting glass roof.

@@100miledrive You don't need a sunshade with the 2023 models anymore. The glass roof is tinted now. DUH!

@@murd777 Is tint sufficient for hot summer days? I obviously don’t own a Tesla so cannot confirm.

Oh so it was confusing that I said: "When you hit pot holes and imperfections on the road" but was actually going over a hump? :) Yeah in this case I was talking in my head about one thing while going over the other thing.

Hi there. Thanks for the feedback. While driving on the freeway I did mention that sound insulation is on par with competition and also provided the reading from the meter that measures noise levels. The issue I found is how the sound travels into the cabin while hitting bumps, this is not something you will hear in traditional crossovers but it was noticeable in the Model Y mostly due to how acoustics designed in this car. I will recheck this upon renting Model Y Performance

I disagree with you, even on my May of 2023 LR MY. It was very boomy and drum like with additional noise from the tires on course pavement. I purchased aftermarket taller 50 series profile tires and that helped a little with the tire noise. The greatest reduction in noise was made by installing sound dampening mat in the rear lower trunk, on the rear floor and in the rear fender wells and fender interiors. Additional small improvements in noise reduction were made by using the sound dampening mat on rear passenger floor, under the center console and under the front floor styrofoam below the carpet. Then, I added more sound mat in and around the front fender wells along with thick, soft foam mat material on top of that. Lastly, I added sound dampening mat all around the HVAC biodefense air filter housing. All of the sound mat added about 48 pounds of weight and took approximately 16 hours while costing about $200, working leisurely at 2 to 3 hour days removing panels, installing the mat pieces and reinstalling the panels. It worked out to be a very noticeable difference in the reduction of the boominess, with a moderate reduction in overall noise on course pavement.

@@dvader3263 Yeah, I have a new Model Y LR and a one year old Model 3 and his complaints about road noise are fair. The Model 3 refresh and I assume the next Y refresh will address it. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to wait for that.

Congrats on your purchase! Exact same car

This was a rental

This was a rental for 1 day.

Hi Rob. I drove on this channel EV6 "First Edition" and that car didn't feel athletic at all. Maybe top of the line GT Line is a much more sporty car in which case it would be possible. One thing I realized though Tesla's driving experience is hard to compare to any other EVs on the market from traditional auto makers. It is not better or worse it is different. I will soon be reviewing Model Y Performance to see how it compares to Long Range version.

I was going to mention in my review that Tesla doesn't necessarily offer a Luxury experience but rather unique due to it's different approach. it's more of a software on the wheels with fairly good driving dynamics. They mostly setup suspension this way to have it handle better but I think they should have more comfort as more families buy this car. In Model 3 it feels totally normal as that car is just very zippy, but in Model y there is a different segment shopping for such car and they should review their approach.

Like he said: drivers car. I find the suspension firm but comfortable. It does not feel like you're driving a boat.

Sorry not sure what this means

Thanks for the feedback. Yes being able to select regen level was a good option. 1 pedal driving is certainly not for everyone, my wife said the pedal felt heavy for her. As for the fixed glass roof, it certainly looks nice especially for rear passengers to be able to have panoramic view, but having a 2nd partition would be a good option to help with heat issues in summer and improve acoustic on the inside. As for the ride quality I found it comfortable but is still on the firmer side and as I mentioned in the video I kind of expected it to be more cushioned especially for families.

Yep it's what most people are buying. Plenty of power, fairly comfortable, dual motor and decent range. Thanks for stopping by

Tesla certainly has controversial design that doesn’t appeal to everyone, however their technology is what makes this car very unique. As far as interior/exterior quality, let’s see they are bringing new Model 3 Highland soon, that suppose to have better interior.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. First would like to say that I never owned Tesla, I own BMW X3 M40i. So all Teslas I rented for a day or 2 were just for the review purposes. If you watch few of the videos I made about Teslas I did mention the interior quality and also showed which areas of Tesla made cheaply. For example in 2023 Model 3 review on minute 03:15 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ituSh5ySx9ipmZc.html With new lower pricing tiers Tesla is now out of the bracket of luxury cars and somewhere in between I would say. So while materials don't look luxurious they still look OK especially compare to 5 years ago, don't forget the whole idea and concept design is minimalist approach in general. Many folks who like the luxury of BMW, Audi or Mercedes will never understand Tesla's cabin design.

Sorry didn’t understant the comment

Thanks for the feedback

I only had this car for a day. I don't own Tesla myself. There were some noises coming from the rear seats. I was told I had to adjust the seat belt. Maybe that was the issue, not sure. Otherwise no other rattles or anything abnormal.
