    Your series of videos on the 2024 Model Y RWD Standard Range sold me on getting one. Especially the charging curve and 70 mph range test. I traded in a 2022 Bolt EV. The Bolt was great for around town and day trips (300-400 miles). I am loving the Model Y. Charging is amazing, build quality is great (no issues at delivery or in the 2 weeks I've owned it so far), the base sound system is good, controls took about 2 days to get used to (I use everything without thinking about it now), acceleration is great (about the same as the Bolt but without torque steer and has better acceleration at highway speeds), ride comfort is better as is cabin noise, and all the other standard features are wonderful. Thanks again for the very, very helpful videos. I'm looking forward to the "range boost" upgrade if it comes out. Would like to see what the charging curve is on a 2024 MY RWD LR as compared to the SR.

      Me too (well, 11 mo, 7k mi). Only road trip once a year (DC to SWFL) and the 4680 MY is night-and-day superior at it than our Polestar - we basically just supercharge at OUR convenience. Home charging, around town driving and family (including dog) road tripping have all been spectacular.

    We bought a RWD MY last month. I’d been wondering why we didn’t get the LFP battery. Thanks for the explanation. Also, good to know that it’s a software limited full size pack. That means charging to 100% occasionally shouldn’t be as detrimental to battery life. You absolutely right, by the way, Tesla does a terrible job communicating all these differences.

    I have a MY 4680 that I bought last year. I do like the 5 secs 0-60 performance and another reason I liked it was the Giga-casting. Figured it would hold up better long term. I mainly drive to work and back with it and charge at home and we usually take our ICE SUV on trips and the weekends. The few times I used a supercharger I have noticed the drop in speed. Wish it could be faster, but since I don’t depend on supercharging often I guess not a huge deal.

    • @DanJQue7
      @DanJQue7 Місяць тому

      @c3po Don’t take Branden’s advice on charging recommendations over Tesla’s advice. He is making assumptions and establishing himself as a more reliable source than Tesla, despite not being a part of the R&D of this vehicle or battery. Doesn’t hurt him to give out bad info, but it can hurt you. If you have an issue with your battery down the road and Tesla sees you regularly charged it to 100% they can point the finger at you for the trouble. This is entertaining to watch and I can appreciate Branden’s perspective, but you can’t rely on technical advice over the manufacturer. A bunch of the OOS community including this channel reported that the RWD MY had an LFP Battery. Even after launch. 6 months later Branden mentions the battery is not an LFP battery. Once call to Tesla confirmed it was not. No shade towards the channel, but watcher beware. This is more for entertainment, opinion, and perspective. If you choose to sue the channel down the road forgiving bad advice, the defense would be, I’m just a UA-camr making entertainment content. (Branden, it would be a good idea to disclaim your claims. Be confident, but let people know to not rely purely on your opinion and analysis for their buying decisions- and especially to not rely on your advice that goes contrary to Tesla’s guidance on best practices.)

    I bought a 4680 Model Y last March. It was not too long after that when your videos came out showing how bad it really was with regards to charging (I already knew because I road trip a lot). Man I wish I knew that before buying it. I hated that car because of that charging performance. One day I had to do 1000 miles in a day and it sucked. Had to ride the bottom of the charging curve all day to get reasonable charging speeds. I couldn't even make it a year with that car and traded it in (at a fair loss, no less) for an R1S and couldn't be happier. Nearly double the price but absolutely worth it. My second car is a leased Leaf and I might consider one of these RWD Y's if the used prices are right when the lease is up.

Especially when that advice contradicts the manufacturer’s.

    5:10 - I with this was true. Seems to be quite a lot of lingering V2 supercharging infrastructure in west TX, all of NM, much of AZ. I had to reroute twice on my trip from home to Brownsville, TX (to watch Starship launch) due to not being able to make it for Lubbock,TX to Cloves,NM, even at 100% SOC and then again in SW TX because of supercharger overcrowding. Happened again on my recent trip to Tucson, AZ where there was. 15+ car deep wait at a V2 location where 3/8 stalls were significantly underperforming. Took hours. 🙄 Oh, I know, let’s disband the entire supercharger team…seems like a great idea. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
