The Model Y is Tesla’s follow up to the very successful Model 3, announced in March of 2019.
The base Model of the Model Y is set to come out in 2021, and start around $40,000.
I purchased the Long Range AWD Model Y which now starts at $52,990 and gets 316 miles of range.
I also purchased the 20” black Induction wheels which run an extra $2000, as well as the Model Y Red paint upgrade which runs an extra $2000 as well.
Now since I ordered back in October when the prices were a little lower, the total cost of my Model Y came to $55,500, plus the required Tesla Destination fee of $1,200 for a total of $56,700 before tax.
After tax and Registration fees, my Grand total came to: $60,179.75
Regarding music, the Tesla Model Y sound system is incredible, and one of the best systems I’ve heard in any car. Unfortunately, Model Y Spotify integration is pretty terrible.
No more dealership software upgrades. Tesla sends out regular software updates over the air just like you get on your phone or computer.
Regarding Tesla Model Y Safety. Tesla achieved 5 stars in every category for safety, making it the safest car ever tested by the NHTSA. Tesla expects the Model Y to be no different, and we should hopefully hear those results soon.
The standard package includes emergency braking, collision warning, and blind-spot monitoring, but the big two are traffic-aware cruise control, and autosteer.
I recently did a Model Y road trip of 700 miles round trip to Arizona and used autopilot for the majority of the drive, and it was fantastic.
Now if you don’t want autosteer, you can drive with just traffic aware cruise control to maintain your speed, and react to the cars around you while you steer, and I’ve never had an issue with this.
But, if you really want to go for it, and love self driving, you can get Tesla’s full self driving upgrade for an extra $7000.
Tesla’s goal is to have the Model Y, as it is right now, be capable of becoming a Robotaxi within the next couple of years via software updates.
Model Y Launch is amazing at 4.8 seconds 0-60 in my car.
Now the big question with electric cars is…how annoying is it to do Model Y charging? Well, it’s actually the opposite of annoying, it’s incredibly convenient.
It’s missing a good blind spot detection system in the mirrors.
Those mirrors are pretty short, and don’t show you as much as I’d like to see in my mirrors.
The rear visibility is pretty bad, and results in me thinking cars are closer than they really are, since I can only see the top of them.
The center console comes glossy, which means that it has pretty bad glare at certain times of day, and is the definition of a finger print magnet.
The glovebox can only be opened with the button on screen, which is two taps to get to, and the voice command listed on Tesla’s website does not work.
The air conditioning is a little complex to get to and adjust when driving, even though it is overall cool.
The interior ambient lights are almost non-existant, and provide hardly any light
The app can be buggy, leaving me to walk up to the car, open the handle, and have nothing happen, until I then pull out my phone, open the Tesla app, and it unlocks. It also seems to have more difficulty since both mine and my wife’s phones are connected.
Spotify integration is pretty bad as I mentioned before, leading me to not use the app on screen
Auto brights are a little too aggressive for me, turning on when I don’t really need them just because no cars are around. I turned them off.
There is a bug with the front trunk. The trim is cheap and loose inside, the window didn’t open properly and caused a gash, there are panel gaps, and a few other alignment issues.

A Tesla rep told me the referral codes will not apply to the Model Y, and don't anticipate that changing :(
Ryan, they will rise the FSD price by $1000 in July.
Nate Hanson that's a good thing. The referral codes are useless anyway and miles have to be used in 6 months. You don't need a referral code to order a car. Just order it.
Alex NutCasio not useless. My miles expire in 2023

“There’s not really traffic happening in Los Angeles right now” is such a surreal statement. Great review overall, we are hopefully taking delivery in the next 2 weeks.
I just want to thank you Ryan for doing an extensive review on the audio system. Every car I am interested in always seems to say nothing about the audio system, including in customer reviews. I buy a car based on how quiet it is and the audio system. Your comments about the fit and finish match those of JD Power Associates that rate it last in quality of cars!!! That being said, I still strongly consider the Tesla for my choice. I will sign up and hope to learn more...especially accessories that you find for the car that are a plus. Please let me know as soon as you see an update for the Spotify app and Apple Carplay!
This is one of the best, most comprehensive reviews I've seen yet. Definitely a must see both for those thinking about getting a model Y and those who are already getting one like myself and just want to know what to expect on delivery day. Thank you! I know it must have been a lot of work to put something this detailed together.
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely was a lot of work so I’m glad you enjoyed it
This is the absolute best review of the Y out there. Congratulations on your marriage and thank you very much. 💯% 👍
Thank you so much!
I actually thought this review felt like a press release from Tesla, such as those bogus claims about Teslas being safer on the road than other cars. This is simply not true. Cease and desist letters from the federal government were sent to Tesla to take down their claims of superior safety. And, of the 30 minutes, you only spent 2 of it on the very poor and laughable fit and finish, and that was at the end of the video. I think my lawn mower was put together better.
@@iu2 You must have one hell of a lawn mower. Elon pushed them out before the downturn. The cars will all be put up to snuff. New product - have some patience.
@@thinkabout602 New product? Tesla has been selling cars for around for 10 years!!! Oh the fans....
Can we get this video to 1M views pls.
Ryan deserves this milestone with all the hard work he puts in his videos!
"I've had the Model Y for about 2 months now..."
MKBHD, is that you!?
Oh my God!,😂
I have made the same comment elsewhere about the Model Y. I have said that as an improvement, I hope to see a triple-glazed glass roof, rear and side windows or even the wind shield to keep the interiors comfortable for all seasons. That would be awesome!
It's amazing that Tesla still has fit and finish issues. I used to work at Toyota, and they would have corrected it a long time ago.
Remember, Tesla is a new company and they will remedy Y issues within a year. My Model 3 has no issues.
I love my Model Y LR, I have the Midnight Silver Metallic with the induction wheels. I have it in the shop right now to fix that trim issue with the door window not opening for the second time!! (First time they came to me, 2nd they wanted me to bring it in to try to figure out what keeps happening). That window failure has happened about 15 times since I've gotten the car a little over a month ago. They gave me a lender Model S 85D and to be honest I hate it. Definitely miss my Model Y and can't wait to get it back!
Same issue. Now I have a headlight that doesn't turn off. I am driving the Model S 85D and I absolutely hate it and miss the Model Y badly. In shop now for 5 days
Well, I gotta ask why the hate on the Model S 85D. I'm looking to buy a used S and might learn something here.
@@Rick9482 The Model Y has a modern feel in the interior, with more space, IMO better seats, less distraction with all the grandpa buttons and switches.... the Y is just simple easy and lets me focus on the fun parts of driving a car. Feels like I am driving the future more than the S. The S needs a full remodel.
Also.. and let me say the most notable thing that most painful was.... how horribly slow the screens were. It's like picking up a computer from 10 years ago and using it... the lag... oh the lag.
@@AlexanderBingham Appreciate the response and I learned something.
Planning on nothing older than 2017 with 2nd generation seats so I may be OK but I'll certainly watch out for your suggestions. I agree lag would be unacceptable and would kill any deal.
My model y is in the shop for some minor paint and trim issues. They gave me a 75d Model S loaner and other than the air suspension I don't really care for it much. can't wait to get my Y back lol
Solid! Love how you covered everything!
Thank you!
Model Y, I also like to sit a little higher. If they fix all that noise issues like vibration and misaligned panels and sensor issue with no cost I don’t think I would have a problem either.
Rayne Films , z
Awesome review - I've owned a Model X for 3 years and my lease is up in September. Not a single maintenance event. Literally zero costs. Add to that I have solar and my car essentially runs for free :)
Glad to hear that! Solar is definitely a goal of mine for the future
@@RyanShawtech yeah, if you're in California it's sorta crazy not to install. I lease mine as the economics are better and there is zero up front cost. I also have a PowerWall donated by Tesla ;)
Great review. I'm glad someone actually mentions the bad parts as well. Still a great car, but needs to evolve a bit
I don't have a Tesla yet, still waiting on my 7 seater Model Y, so I've seen every single Tesla video there is. I've got to say, even though I already knew most of what you said already, your video was very well put together. Excellent video clips, clear descriptions, and even some details that weren't obvious in other videos. Almost like it could be an official Tesla overview video. Thumbs up.
“I haven’t listen to Kanye West in a few months. I don’t know why he is still there?!” We all have the same question as well. Kanye works in mysterious ways.
Hahahaha yes indeed
Kanye West is a genius!

@@ryananthon8426 Kanye is gay fish
Simon Tili I have never heard someone be called a “gay fish” before, but that is FN funny!
Mr. Shaw is an excellent presenter and documentary film maker. This is clear, factual, and free from hype. Tipping my Tesla cap to you, sir!
The quality of this video is next level! Absolutely amazing. You nailed every shot!
Hi Ryan, I have a X-P90D for 2 1/2 years now and I’ve put 110,000 miles on it. I found that driving 60 to 110 miles between charges, only charging for a maximum of 10 to 20 minutes is quicker then sitting in a charging space for maybe 45 up to 60 minutes. I don’t charge to 100% (usually a maximum of 90%) and only deplete it to about 10 to 20%. It will be better for your battery in the long run with short charging sessions and makes your drive shorter in time overall. And congratulations on your marriage!
I'll consider one when they improve their quality control. Looks like they have a long way to go.
I have a 2018 long range Model 3 that I have had no issues with except for a rock cracking windshield, but no fit and finish issues, no rattles or squeaks. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned.
When Tesla gets the kinks and bugs out of the Model Y, I will probably get one.
Voice control does everything, including opening the glove box, setting the wipers and the air conditioner. Depress the right button on the steering wheel for any command.
Tesla was too late in the market for me, I ended up buying a Leaf when they first came out in 2011. Never had any issues with it and your statement about maintenance cost being low is so true. Over the nine years of ownership I've spent around $500 total for maintenance (replace accessory battery, key fob battery, and the stupid environment filter). Car is still going strong and hoping to get 20 years out of my battery.
Great video!!! I’ve been waiting for someone to do a video that I can share with people who have no Tesla knowledge that is current. Congrats on your beautiful ride sir! Drummer here who is excited to get a drummer model y experience video. Great job sir!
Very well done. Anyone who wants to know about this car will find it here. They might have to listen to your video twice, because there’s so much in it, but that’s no problem
This is a great review video!! Congratulations! And i do have to admit that the fit and finish, body pieces alignment issues, and pain details are a very very very bad no no for a brand new car. Tesla should not let a vehicle with those details out of the factory or a dealership. They need to step it up for sure! Thank you for the video!
All the information I have seen says that those issues are largely absent on the Model 3 cars coming out of Gigafactory Shanghai. Hmmm.... Is it possible there might be problems with the workforce available and the regulatory environment in California?
My wife has a Model 3 and we both LOVE driving it. My range anxiety only lasted a few days. We have made several long trips (800 miles and 1500 miles) with zero problems charging along the way. I would prefer the Y for practicality, but the 3 definitely looks better.
The Y has definitely grown on me looks wise, but I still love the 3
Model y on order. X was too expensive, s and 3 too small.
Same here!
S was too small????? So you bought a y?
S is bigger....
S was too expensive, and low to the ground. I misspoke to lump it with the 3
@@michaellatta did you get the long range or the performance? you can get a decent used model S for about 60k.
Dude, this is an awesome. Best general Tesla review for anyone who is new to Tesla technology to understand and easy to digest.
Thanks for the kind words!
As always, thanks for the in-depth review Ryan 👍🏻
And thanks for watching! And for the great accessories
Ryan, your Model Y looks absolutely gorgeous. The red on black is AGGRESSSIVEEEEE!
Thanks!
We're test driving a Y in an hour! Should be very interesting comparing it to our current i3.
how was it?!
Sport Computer Services probably different level
We test drove it too. They usually have you test drive the upgraded version. So be careful about that if you're looking at their basic model ie long range not performance
The use of onboard cameras as dash/guard cams is such a no-brainer its one of those things that almost mystifies you why Tesla is the first/only company to be doing that. The integration of being able to quickly view the clips on the built-in screen (or save a clip with a honk!) is great too, really smart user -friendly thinking.
Man, I want to like this car so much but these are major quality issues for a $60k+ car
Why don't you buy a regular ICE $60k car then? And compare what all is missing in that?
Most issues have been fixed on the Model 3 and if you're willing to wait a year or two, those issues will be fixed on the Model Y.
I wouldn’t get that because they got rid of the Speedo in front of you. Even if they put just a heads up display I’d be ok.
@@TacoMonster4eva
There are two reasons why they didn't put a heads up display. First is for complexity and production cost, which reflects on assembly time and profit margins. Second is for autonomy, meaning that the heads-up display becomes pointless for most of the lifetime of the car to anyone who purchased full self-driving. The model 3 isn't the only car with a central speedometer and it's close enough to the line of sight that most people get used to it pretty quickly.
@R
Although Teslas are subject to some valid criticism, the negatives I usually keep seeing goes from distorted truths blown out of proportion or out of context to pure bullshit. Every dip and rebound on the stock value is money being made from stock manipulation since its behavior can be easily played with and predicted. A text conversation between an employee whistleblower and an important reporter from MSNBC paying him to spread lies, reporter that received a large amount of money to do so, is only the tip of the iceberg on money going around shaming Tesla and Elon. Truth is the pros of owning a Tesla greatly outweigh the cons and a lot of revenues from powerful corporations are at stake. Tons of people have been indoctrinated to respond with hatred to anyone who is saying anything positive about Elon Musk and his companies. Take a good look at where your preconceived notions come from. Don't buy into the bullshit and fact check from independent sources.
I've got the Model3 Performance - In the past I've had a '63 split window, Porsche 911, Morgan, Jaguar, Bentley and others. I loved them all but this is the best by far!
The fit and finish issues would make m3 crazy.
I retired from BMW and have driven them for 20 years now. I love the heads up display in the windshield in front of you. It was distracting at first but I easily got over that. I guess like you said it would be easy to adjust looking to the right for the display.
You’re the best Tesla reviewer ✔️
Much appreciated! 🙌🏻
Compared to whom?
@@alexeivoloshin3065 literally everyone
Just pulled the trigger! I was hoping to wait until the standard model Y came out, but I don't feel like waiting another year.
Considering buying a Y. Loved the video, very detailed and unbiased. Good job!
Thank you Ryan I should take delivery of my model Y this week . I ordered the duel motor long range , white and really no other special options. I cannot wait !
I am sold, I am getting a Tesla.
Personally I'm more interested in a rivian once they start rolling off the production line
Corona fucked me up good.
Mindle I put my deposit for the R1S this past Fri. 😀. If it was for Rivian coming out, I would probably purchase the Y. The Audi eTron Quattro looks like a good contender too. Wish there were more choices out already.
Marco Deo Were you going to before watching it?
Yeah the big reason I think rivian is a better choice is because their skateboard platform has 190 kwh as opposed to tesla's 100. They use a different battery architecture to do it, which will undoubtedly make their batteries harder to cool, but when you're going off-roading, more power is absolutely necessary (see engineering explained's video on towing with an electric vehicle). You can make the car as efficient as you want, but ultimately, more power = more gravitational energy you can overcome. That's just thermodynamics. And besides, supporting Tesla's competitors will force them to innovate more. A monopoly is never a good thing.
I've been on the fence about a 3 and now the Y. Watched pretty much every video, and yours is on the podium for best objective info! I think the paint and panel gaps would be too much for my OCD nature, ha. Again, thanks for your hard work in helping make a big decision.
I really want to love this car, I really do - but those finishing issues with the tacky poor interior, paint work issues and the body panels not fitting correctly just ruin the whole thing for me- once tesla bring the finish quality of their products up to the standards of say a BMW or a Mercedes, then it’s a no brainer, I would buy one in a heartbeat. By the way this is a very good review - thank you.
Never buy any car first year. Give yesr 2 or 3 for finess and you will be good
@@Oncewaslostbutnowimsaved Disagree, its things Tesla will fix and have in so many cases. Check ANY car anywhere and they have little detail issues such as these, you may not see them because the cars sit at the dealership for extended periods of time.
Probably the best Model Y review I’ve seen. Totally agree with your assertion about the defects-they need to be fixe, and they’re not at all acceptable on a premium vehicle.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
20:50 I live in Colorado so that sounds pretty incredible!
Just placed an order for Y , WILLbe using your video as reference upon delivery and go through each before I step out of the dealership
23:00 for negatives.
He forgot the biggest limitation, max payload of just 402 kg. That is the lowest available payload of any CUV.
1. Unlocking: hold the door handle in the open position and keep holding it open, it will eventually respond - takes even longer if the car is asleep. If too long for you, buy the key - way better - definitely worth it after purchasing it. 2. Wrapping the center console is fine and I did it before...the carbon fiber in matte (fake plastic) was offered by rpm telsa. Way nicer and more robust - worth the $80.
Very Well Done... Honest, Clearly Stated & Balanced Review! Thank You Ryan! 👍👍✅
Thank you for watching!
Latest long travel i did - I did around 450 km, in one sweep (no stop) and used around 1/3 of my fuel capacity. During long trips i can drive 1.000-1.200 km on one fueling. And i can stop and rest wherever i want and i'm not tied to stop at (boring) charge stations. And i can take 2.2000 kg on my hitch.
So, well, battery is a good thing for short distance but not for longer distance, and during all that time you use it for short distance, you have a LOT of extra weight that will cause wear on roads, tires and the car itself. So as always, everything has it's good sides and bad sides.
I replaced all my interior lights with aftermarket ones. They are much brighter. I wish tesla had used them.
What did you replace, the bulbs or something else?

Great comments! Thanks. Great point about seeing only the tips of cars out in the mirror, the tops being farther away than their front bumpers!
“Up to 250KW per hour” (time index 22:12): Just make sure nobody’s confused, what he meant to say was “up to 250 kilowatt-hours per hour,” or more simply, “up to 250 kilowatts.”
Thanks! And yeah, slip of the tongue haha
Ryan Shaw, yeah, easy tongue-tie mistake to make.
"There isn't really any traffic in LA" ... 2020 is weird
corona?
Agree totally about the AC controls, only physical button I miss having. I was fortunate and got one with zero build quality issues.
Yeah. It’s cool at first and then a little frustrating
Great review!
I think it's a shame Tesla still hasn't adopted the heads-up display trend.
For my wife's Model 3, the voice command is one of the best I've ever used. It usually gets my command on first attempt, not like my Toyota RAV4 which is so frustrating that I usually give up even trying.
Nice review. I prefer reviews based on months (rather than days or even hours) of ownership. I hate those Amazon reviews where the person just opened the box fifteen minutes ago and it's the greatest thing they've ever bought.
Does the keycard work while in your wallet, or do you have to take the card out? I am much more likely to forget my phone than my wallet, so unless the door unlocking with the app becomes flawless, I think I'd rely on the card and use the app as the backup, rather than the other way around.
If they're going to insist on having virtually no physical controls, they really have to get the voice controls to work perfectly, and it has to be smart enough to interpret multiple commands to perform the same task. I fiddle with my climate control a lot, especially in cold weather where I have to defrost at first, then blast the heat to warm the cabin, then turn it down to get comfortable. Poking around on a touch screen while driving is out of the question, so the voice controls need to be intuitive and flawless. In my car (2007 Honda CRV) voice control is worthless if I'm driving with the windows open, and even when closed it's hard if other people in the car are talking. How reliable is your voice control under those conditions?
By the way, feel free to include more smooching in your videos. That was very sweet.
Yeah same here. The key has to be out of the wallet in my experience like a hotel room key. And yeah. The vice controls are good, but not perfect and I hope they continue to improve them. I haven’t tried voice controls with the windows down, what mph are you typically driving at with the windows down? I’ll have to test it some time.
And thanks! Haha :)
I have a M3 for 17 months now...I put my keycard in the outer-most section of wallet (where no money is because I gotz car payments man!). It works through that single layer of leather and is my backup in case my S9 phone dies (has happened a few times playing pokemon too zealously). I used to leave home occasionally forgetting wallet but getting better now at always checking for my backup key holder. Now with the homelink on garage door setup in the car I actually stopped carrying sharp pieces of jangly metals in my pockets everywhere. I only grab those if going out the door on foot now for exercise (again...phone could open garage from outside via model 3, unless it dies on my walk)
This is the best Model Y review video out there.
Thank you for the good review. I love Tesla and their mission statement and admire them so much, I just wish those noises are not there, I know they will drive me crazy. Maybe I should put my order on hold...
You’re welcome. And yeah, but they are fixing them this week for free. I’ll let you know how it turns out
Thank you
Ryan, solid review. The Model 3 and Model Y respond to a bluetooth signal from your phone (the S and X key fobs use RFID). Apple iPhones lower bluetooth when the phone is asleep (display not turned on). Simply activate your phone (display on) before using the door handle. I had the same problem on my 3- but it just requires "waking" your phone, no need to use the Tesla app.
Also on the fit and finish issues: Unfortunately the pattern is frequent with early releases of each Tesla model. To Tesla's credit, these issues virtually disappear after 6-8 months of production. My 3 is virtually flawless. I worked at Tesla and saw some of the early issues with the 3 and the S and X.
You should fire your electrician who installed the socket horizontally! :)
Yeah...
Well, he did say it only cost $250. I got quoted over a grand.
@@dougdevine27 I would GLADLY pay $750 less if all I have to do is rotate my plug
Easy fix, disconnect and pull wiring back, add a 90 elbow to outlet box, reinstall box and wiring. Don't forget to cut the electricity.
just a tip if you get into a accident and they ask what happened the reponse is i was looking into my mirror. not changing the radio or playing on your tablet. as everything is controled via tablet
4:38 wow! that orange peel paint...
Hopefully you’ll never run into this but one thing a I’ve experienced is that body repair on a Tesla is really expensive and takes awhile to get parts. I got rear ended in our model 3 and the 3rd part Tesla certified shop took about 3 weeks to get parts in before the would start the repairs. Then found additional parts that were needed that added another week of waiting. Final repair was over $9k which was covered by insurance of the person who rear ended me. Note that the car was still driveable after the accident. Guess the aluminum body panels and trunk panels are expensive.
That’s unfortunate. Hopefully my insurance would help out for repairs like that, but it’s definitely good to note
I'm gonna chrome undelete my model y
I'm both excited and horrified haha
lol
You monster
But, it can't have a chrome delete in the first place to undelete if it never had chrome!
Mine is scheduled delivery 6/6 looking forward to it for past 6 months. Great review now I know what to look for on delivery.

@@samsun01 that's mean you didn't have to end that at the end
Really appreciate your videos!
I love my MY! I haven't had as many issues as others. I am very happy with how it turned out and how quick I got mine. Picked up 3/28 in KC. I enjoy giving rides to family and friends that have never experienced being in a Tesla. They all understand the hype now.
Very complete and well done! Answers many questions that I, a non-Tesla owner, have about the Tesla experience
Ordered mine Feb 7, 2020 and just received an email saying they’ll contact me soon with available delivery dates. My problem is that I **want** a contact delivery (ie with a delivery person) to make sure someone documents all the issues I may find. Contactless scares me b/c issues may fall through the legendary crack. Already got my list of things to look for (gathered via countless YT videos.)
Hey Marc, do you mind to share your checklist?? Thank you
Just take pics of odometer and all blemishes you find on delivery day (with date/time stamps). If something is not within specs, Tesla will fix it. A Tesla delivery specialist would tell you to do exactly that, and send you over to Tesla service.
@@orangepropeller4536 Panel gaps, paint issues, backseat release buttons, backseat alignments, check how easy the back seat go back up, driver door B pillar trim fit, top trim for looseness, glass roof alignment. That's all for now.
Quick tip for searching music with spotify instead of the Tesla Music app: You have to click spotify first then when you search for music it will search for music thats on Spotify NOT the regular music app. At least thats what works on my Model 3. If i search right away it won't search in Spotify
I’ll have to give that a try, it should be the same as the 3
I can't decide. Red or Grey?

We called it "pleather".
No! No, no, no. UNICORN hide.
I'd like to see more reviews of Tesla in cold, snow/ice environments over a full winter:
Does the windshield wiper get stuck when the car is covered in icy-snow.
Do the door handles still work after a night in icy conditions.
How does the Tesla manage the snow build-up in the wheel wells since there is no engine heat to dissipate it.
At what depth of snow will the car get stuck in the snow.
What's the maximum grade the car can climb from a stopped starting point.
How does it handle in the snow?
What winter tire options are available? How about third-party options?
How would a Tesla operate within Japan during the winter months?
How much does the driving-range decrease during winter? 50%?
How much driving distance does the heater consume while stationary? (Think defrosting the car in the morning where the car parks outside.)
I like you and enjoy the channel, but 6 in-video ads... really?
Thanks! And wow, it definitely shouldn’t have 6! I’m sorry about that and will check on it
Love your channel and I love my Model Y. But I too have some pet peeves: 1) very limited blind spot detection (goes on only when turn signal is on and displays only on the screen), 2) no Rear Cross Traffic Warning, and 3) rough ride with 20” wheels. But still love the car. Keep up the good work!
Our Model Y has the same limitations Walter Hubbard mentions. I would not buy another Y until these safety and comfort issues are fixed. We have an ongoing problem with our Tesla Y NOT properly exiting a freeway interchange where a Tesla fatal accident occurred some time ago (within 5 miles of Tesla HQ). Moreover, the organization of radio stations and other sound sources seems random, and ridiculous.
what f'n sound does a house make when settling?
Wow you're a living, breathing example of something I feared existed but didn't know for sure until watching this video. A walking, talking, cliche of a Tesla driver. In that regard you're the paradigm. Congrats!

I took delivery of a 2020 Model 3 Performance just a week or two before you got your Model Y. I have not had any issues at all other than the software issues with voice control which were fixed with first upgrade. The fit and finish are excellent and I'm a total convert to electric cars now. I also own a 2013 Ford Focus ST which is a lot of fun to drive but now feels slow and not as planted as my M3P. Going from one pedal driving to three is taxing for the brain too, so that keeps me on my toes. :-) I feel like I'm stepping into the future every time I go for a drive. My wife just discovered the careoke feature and she has a lot of fun on our "let's get out of the house and go for a drive" trips. :-) Maybe the little glitches you've found with your Y are just the initial production issues whereas they've probably solved most of those with the 3 by now.
That’s great news! I think those issues are early production issues as you mentioned. Part of the fun of buying a first run haha
When it's out of warranty it costs a fortune to fix. That's what scares me.
So one thing I noticed is how many bugs get stuck to the white, grillless front! I keep a spray bottle of water and a microfiber cloth nearby in the garage to wipe it off every now and again. File that under weird quirks but not necessarily complaints.
Hi Adrian, I’m from love bug country in central Florida (look it up, acid etching insects that swarm by the thousands three times a year for 2-3 weeks!!!)
The best product I found was:
“Technician's Choice TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray”
It’s a spray on ceramic coating, but it’s not permanent like the pro ceramic treatments..
Apply once every few car washes and it will maintain a perfect ceramic coating.
Application on a clean car takes 15-20 minutes and about 6 microfiber towels..
Bugs just wipe off with out etching the paint, and it protects from swirl marks..
Gallon jug will last forever....
Yeah it’s a LOT.
You seem overly distracted by that screen while driving...
You realize that many of the auto drive features have been already proven to be safer than a real driver, right? He probably just has it on auto cruise or something.
This is such a good review. Tesla makes great products and most that actually own them realize the good far outweighs their flaws. A fair review, like you provided, will touch on both. Unfortunately early builds of Tesla products still appear to come with more issues. These will be ironed out for the most part but I really hope Tesla can step up their quality control in general because their vehicles are amazing otherwise and so many people use these flaws to dismiss an otherwise industry-leading product.
2000 wheels and your curved them already
Why you seem like such a nice guy, congrats on your success you deserve it
That's really a lot of defects that the car came with.
I agree, for the price those are pretty significant issues in quality. Their focus is clearly on slapping them together and shipping them out without the detail to quality control. And we all know how annoying it is to get a Tesla repair done as not many places service them as well as back order and availability on parts. They are trying to pump out as many orders as they can without attention to quality and it's going to come to bite them in the ass.
It's Tesla, they're beta testing against their users. I think a lot users are in love with the brand. I'm not sure they care that the quality of the car is subpar.
Hello Ryan,
I usually don't comment or say a word for good or bad. But I am doing so because you were very precise, professional pretty amazingly without any waste of time.
I am an automotive engineer in Germany and working on the E-car from the rival of T.
Well done and very well managed Ryan.
Greeting from Germany
Rahul :)
Thanks for the kind words, and for watching!
16:50 Congrats on your marriage!
I really enjoy your videos on your experience with your Model Y. Keep them coming!
The Model Y seems to have a cheap look, very plasticy.
This is one of the best car overview I have seen. Well done, Ryan.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the video! I had ordered a model 3, but with the price adjustment to the model y yesterday I was considering switching to this. Your video convinced me, using your referral code to make the new order.
Thanks for watching and using the code. Congrats!
Drove my first Tesla Model 3 last weekend ( Turo thank you). Hard to go back to my actual car. I was skeptical but after feeling the smooth pickup and having my first Supercharger station experience, was hooked. Took no time (20 mins) as it had enough entertainment to make that fly.
Never tried the Model S and obviously the Model Y. But based on my experience, they are great. Even quicker.
I live 200 metres from a Tesla supercharger station and it`s tempting to get a Model Y, some very practical solutions. It`s either the Model Y or the Polestar 2. If the best features of both cars merged it would be an easy pick.
Thanks so much Ryan! Was seriously thinking about getting the Y until I saw your video. Will be waiting to see what they improve upon in the 2021 model.
