If you could do a series called 3 across at every budget ❤❤❤ , I’d be so grateful.
Just so you know, not all Model Ys are the same. The RWD Model Y is missing the fog lights, rear parcel shelf, and has only has 7 speakers. The LR and the Performance both have the same exact interior features but of course the Performance also has bigger wheels, a carbon fiber spoiler, red brakes, one different motor as well as different suspension.
Tesla has .99% financing for the month of May 2024 for those who qualify
Only for the Model Y, because a new redesigned Model Y is coming in the months ahead.
They want to get rid of old stock.
@@DerekDavis213 I think new design will come next year..
@@Tarick-mg6ir Why do you say next year?
@@DerekDavis213 Tesla announced about it. There will be no project juniper this calendar year.
@@Tarick-mg6ir As if what Tesla/Elon says can be trusted? You are a funny guy.
Maybe Tesla said no Juniper for a year, so they can sell all the *unwanted* cars that are sitting on lots today? Did you even consider that?
.
I have this car and LOOOOVE it. family of 3, has amazing storage, runs great and we have done a few road trips with it and had no issues. such a nice drive. we also got the third row although i hardly consider that an actual seat. only for our kid if we have other people riding with us, very little leg room.
You can press the right scroll wheel and give it commands like open glovebox, change temperature etc instead of using the screen.
We have had our MY LR for 2 months and it is hands down the best car we have had. The price was fantastic as low as 34k for regular range! Road noise is QUIET. Tons of room for our family of 4. Comfortable to drive and the list truly can go on!
Was looking for your review on the MY 2 months ago! 😀 we purchased the MY LR AWD due to excellent value! We basically got it 12k off MSRP back in March 2024. Loving our Tesla so far. Great review as always!
Tesla as a car is pretty solid but it's the software/charging/ecosystem/app/whole package experience that sets it above everything else.
People always seem to forget to mention: especially for the price point.
It has the best driver profiles- memory aircon, memory mirrors, memory sest, memory steering wheel position with easy entry
Auto heated steering wheel, auto heated seats, auto dimming mirrors, auto cooling of parked car in the summer when you are parked.
The app is insanely good. The best sentry mode and dash cam.
People also forget to mention: a competitor to Model Y is the Camry Hybrid, which has a MUCH longer range and higher build quality too. Camry Hybrid can go 630 miles on a tank of gas. Awesome.
@@DerekDavis213 Camry is not competitor. Camry is not a mid size suv. What is the price of the Camry hybrid if you get all of the options to match the features of the Model y? How’s that dealership experience going to go? I’m sure you’ll only pay MSRP and not some hidden bumped up price upon purchase. Model Y crushes on storage space + the hatchback. Oh you’re right through, I do often find myself needing a 630 mile range for my 500 mile commute every day. 🙄
@DerekDavis213 imagine comparing a Model Y, that can do 0-60 in as little as 3.5 seconds and drive itself, to a boring Camry hybrid sedan. I'm falling asleep just thinking about that car. You can't do 630 miles in it while staying awake because it's so boring.
@@Cttechexpress On a 1200 mile road trip, you stop just *once* for gas in the Camry Hybrid. And it takes 5 minutes.
Model Y will have to spend hours at the chargers, waiting in lines too. Maybe 6 stops for charging. What a huge *waste* *of* *time* .
@DerekDavis213 who drives 1200 miles in a day? Are you an over the road trucker? At 75 mph that's 16 straight hours of driving, not counting stops.
The charging stops are nowhere near like you describe. Stopping every 3 hours or so for 20-30 minutes is not a big deal. 1 hour of stopping over 6 hours of driving, is perfectly fine unless you're going for a cannonball record. You just plug it in and then going and use the bathroom and get something to eat and by the time you're done the car is ready to go. Not to mention the other 51 weeks a year that you waste time going to gas stations when the Model Y owner charges at night in their garage.
We got rid of a 16-year-old minivan and replaced it with a seven seed model Y. It is definitely smaller. But, different folks have different priorities for why to get a particular vehicle and for us the trade-off in cargo space was well worth all the other benefits in terms of of unplanned maintenance, safety, convenience, and quite a lot of driving sun as well. It also opened up a new career as a rideshare driver and my adolescent children actually want to be seen in their car instead of being embarrassed by a beat up old minivan.
Nice review! It's amazing how many Model Y reviews there are out there which never show the glovebox or the center console, or anything else, at all! I'm surprised you see your glovebox has a printed manual inside? Mine didn't have any.
It is a great second or third car of a family.
It is ridiculously expensive and unreliable where it is cold, insurance companies make not give you homeowners insurance if you park it in garage
@@jamesocker5235this is just false.
It’s cheaper than the average new car in America (not accounting for the 7.5k credit)
Range is reduced in the cold, but it doesn’t impact most drivers as you plug in at home mindlessly at the end of each day. You don’t do enough in town driving to even need to worry about this in the winter. Long trips? Sure. It has an impact, but it’s nothing terrible.
And absolutely untrue fear mongering regarding insurance. Fwiw - I’m 29M and my insurance cost to State Farm is 109$month
@@jamesocker5235 Total misinformation. My Model Y insurance is $100 less every 6 months than my Jeep Grand Cherokee.
@@jamesocker5235 quit lying and quit being an EV hater people like you are spreading myths every day. It makes me sick.
I was just considering this vehicle!!!
As a soon to be new parent, I really appreciate your videos. Thanks for making these!
that cargo cover can be placed upright behind the rear seats. Makes a lot more sense instead of storing it flat in the trunk.
I had a Model 3 with 1 kid, when we were expecting our second, looked at Y’s, I’m 6’3 and it wouldn’t work sitting a seat behind me, so I got a truck. Now I have a 2024 Model X and we have 3 kids now and it fits 3 across and I can sit in a good position with a seat behind me. My 4 and 2 year olds love it and love the falcon wing doors.
We tried a 7 seater Y and the 3rd row was a joke. I think you’ve tested an X a while ago, but I have a 5 seater X and if you would want to test it, let me know, I’m local to St. Louis.
I own a y with 2 kids and the technology is unmatched. Not to mention full self driving.
FSD is a simple Level 2 assistant that needs *human* *supervision* at all times. Be careful, with kids in the car.
@@DerekDavis213have you actually driven with it? Because it doesn’t let you not supervise it. You have to be looking at the road (it’ll literally turn off FSD if you use your phone) and makes you keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times.
Technology unmatched? No Apple CarPlay, no rear cross traffic alert, no lane alert in the rear view mirrors, autonomous braking won’t stop for pedestrians. Even a base model Toyota has those.
@@hayleyamorris I will drive the car myself. Much easier and safer that way. Why should I watch a simple minded FSD computer for every second? That is not Self Driving that we were promised.
@@user-vx7vi3vq1cpeople always talk about apple csr play - this car doesn’t have it because you don’t need it. Spotify is built into car, messaging is built into car, GPS is using google maps and routing for charger, etc. it’s a better system than apple car play
Just got one of these a couple weeks ago and it's great. Also you can deduct $7500 from the purchase price due to the federal EV tax credit (unless you make more than 150k a year).
Hi, Did they gave you the interest of .99% or no?
I paid all cash.
We also have a Model Y with the 3rd row. Toddlers will probably be ok with 2 forward-facing car seats, but 2 adults would be a hard NO (heads will hit the top of car). Kinda regret getting the 3rd-row with that huge price tag. Should've just stick with the 2 row version in the video.
3rd row was only 1K more, worth it if you have smaller kids 6-10 with friends that may need a ride.
I don’t think you gave the 3 row model y a chance. Definitely could have solved a lot of problems with the car seat issues in having enough room for having 3 kids in the back.
Can you review a Bolt EUV???
Waiting for refreshed model to finally include blind spot monitoring indicators in the side mirrors. Basic safety feature. How did Tesla skip that on the current model?
Please write down a list of things pefrect family car should have and send it to Elon Musk to do Testa Van - the opposite to Cybertruck( most crazy car in the world) to make the most family friendly EV !!
It was nice to finally see a review on a Tesla from someone who actually did their homework, thank you. One of the most important things to consider also is that especially for a family , is Tesla is one of the safest vehicles available.
_Tesla is one of the safest vehicles available._
Actually, Autopilot and FSD cannot be trusted. And there was a huge *Tesla* *recall* recently.
So not the safest vehicle.
When showing the trunk you didn’t show how the second floor panel lifts to access more storage area. I find that area very effective for hiding items in the trunk, kind of how you can also hide things in the fronk. It is pretty effective for flat storage of hanging clothing on trips as well.
Let’s say you were going fishing. With your expensive carbon fiber poles and tackle box. The poles can break down and go under the floor in the trunk, while the tackle box hides in the fronk. Not you can stop for lunch and not worry about someone seeing and wanting to steal your stuff.
I had a Model X for 6 years. I actually like the Model Y Performance better.
Also it has cameras when you’re parked so you can see who f*cks up your doors if it gets hit 🥰
I don’t miss my apple car play! Love the tech inside my Y. My two kiddos LOVE driving in it too. Was a great decision for my family. (6 yr old and 3 yr old)
Buckle is a pain for my 6 year old but he loves his Nuna better than a booster. He can buckle himself better in it and honestly it’s safer anyways. Maybe he’ll use a booster one day 🤷🏼♀️
Does this sit as low as a typical sedan?
The Model Y is a crossover, it sits a big higher than a sedan.
Try to get a hold of the 7seater model Y instead
I have 3 across… all Diono 3R, twins (4 yr) and girl (2 yr) … but as twins get older it’s getting tight.
Dual motor rear wheel drive?!?! Is that a new model we don’t know about?
😯👍
Rear and mid-engine cars have had "frunks" for decades
Yeah instead of the trunk. This has both.
@@Cttechexpresswant a list of mid engine cars with both?
I got my model y 3rd row . My 3 kids are fine with it. And I got free supercharing can't beat that
I love Tesla vehicles. 😍😍
does it sound weird inside? my wife tried a demo for the weekend and she said it fucked up her ears (she has ear issues)
Your husband is a lucky man. I always love your reviews. Long time subscriber.
This video feels more “sponsored” than the usual carmom reviews 😭
Tesla couldn’t POSSIBLY make a vehicle that would receive a good review could they? Oh wait….
@@chags3512 why do y’all Tesla fans always come out swinging anytime someone criticizes the car? 😂 you’re like the Swifties of the car world. Not even saying the car deserves bad reviews to begin with.
@@HappyHappy-sq4ij you literally said it seems sponsored (read as influenced) by Tesla. We do this because of all the naysayers. The cars are game changing. That’s all there is to it. People just hate change.
@@chags3512 I think it may be over-sensitivity in this case. I’m a huge fan of carmom. She normally goes into way more detail and covers more lifestyle/workflow fit. Fact that she didn’t, was a bit disappointing to me. As someone who’s contemplating a Tesla, it would’ve been cool to hear about details that involved parents naturally think of.
Ps- I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that someone as controlling as Elon would have these kinds of stipulations for loaned vehicles (owned distribution model, comments made in interviews, etc…). Not knocking the approach either. Core reason behind is success is his ability to think differently.
Just pointing out that she’s up and coming channel w a Tesla loaner… with different tone than usual. Again, not saying the car is inherently bad but would’ve been cool to get more detail like in older posts.
Also, kinda hard for ppl to take y’all Tesla fans seriously when you go so hard with the positives as if there can’t be any negatives to the car; period. Tesla is a great car for some and not so great for others. Were you level-headed, productive dialogue would be possible but the bias is pretty strong. Admire the passion though. I have like zero for my Mazda 😂
@@HappyHappy-sq4ij haha. I’ve owned my Tesla for six years. I still find reasons to just drive it. They are that good. I’ve saved thousands of dollars in fuel and maintenance costs, the car has instant acceleration which makes it fun to drive and allows for maneuverability in and out of traffic when needed, for passing, etc. the tech is hard to beat and for families, the storage is almost impossible to beat, even if they are smaller than midsize or larger SUVs. My model 3 sedan has more cargo room than most gas crossovers overall because of the front trunk and sub rear trunk areas.
Very very small families. But its a killer commuter.
2025 will be the refresh model.
I don't think anyone needs review on Model Y after Tesla selling more than 3 million units
Sure they do. People still are oblivious that they can save a ton of money buying a Tesla.
I’ve spent $378 in the last year to drive my model 3. It costs next to nothing to “fuel” it.
@@colorblindkid720 yep:)
@@chags3512 hell no nothing is more reliable than Ford. Tesla is a piece of crap company run by a crazy ego maniac.
Best car on the entire planet
I would not own one. The cost of the battery is almost as much as the car itself
Comes with an 8 year battery & drivetrain warranty
Why would you buy a battery? Seems unnecessary....
@@Harrythehun batteries don't last forever
And battery warranty is only 8 years. After that, a batt replacement could cost $20k. omg
Replacement battery on this is about 10K for a refurbished one orn $13K new. That's after your 8 year/120K mile battery warranty, when battery cost will be a lot lower. They've been plummeting.
Imagine buying a BMW and worrying what a new engine will cost if the engine fails.
Lol basic was the correct word.
Some would call it Spartan.
What is up with the camera? Has the worst haze I’ve seen.
"Tesla basically invented the frunk"
*Porsche would like a word
girl, would you buy a Tesla model Y?
The 3rd row seats are horrid.
No spare tire, range on an interstate is not 310. Expect 230 to 250 for range. 0 % to 80 % takes 30 min. then 80 to 100 % takes another 30 mins at a supercharger.
Very few vehicles come with spare tires. Most people don’t drive enough miles to have to stop to charge. On road trips, just stop for your meals and charge. Not an issue.
@@chags3512 no chargers in areas I like to visit. If I don't charge to 100% I can't make it home. If staying on the interstates then I agree road trips are easy, but if on normal highways it's not easy to travel. It's frustrating that cars are getting rid of spare tires. I've had to use my model y spare already twice within a year.
@@eucryan you don’t need chargers IN the areas you are visiting. Surely there are some on your route there or back.
@@chags3512 none on the way there or back. I've had to travel 40 miles completely out of my way just to charge and then be able to make it home when I didn't charge to 100%. I've tried to convince the power company there to atleast install a 220 charger, but no luck.
SHE NICE LADY!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 BUT NOT A FAN TESLA!!! CHEAPLY MADE CRAZY GLUE PUT TOGETHER PLAIN DASHBOARD 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Tablet on wheels. Also, don’t get a flat tire. All vehicles need a spare tire.
The Tesla still has no 360 camera which blows my mind
Definitely didn’t invent the frunk
VW had a frunk as early as 1938.
Some people should stay away from reviewing cars because there's no real wheel dual motor. LOL
For those who like to be stranded with their families in bad weather it is the perfect car
They're great in bad weather. Not sure where you get your information.
Why would they be stranded?
@@chags3512 maybe you should try traveling in Michigan in winter in a EV
@@jamesocker5235 why are you driving over 150 miles a day in the winter? That’s the only time there MIGHT be an issue.
@@jamesocker5235 I live in Ann Arbor and it’s absolutely fine. Maybe take a drivers ed winter course
FYI charging isn't a pain (as you suggested) for 99.9% of EV owners. It is only a pain for the uneducated.
For 100 million apartment dwellers in America, charging IS a pain.
@@DerekDavis213According to Annette all apartment/ condo/townhouse dwellers are uneducated.
Yep go sit on ass at charging station when super charger us broken, or duper charge your battery and have it have a shorter life. Then try to recycle. Your a clueless virtue signaler
This comment shows that you are uneducated and rude.
@@DerekDavis213my apartment in downtown Atlanta had 13 chargers in it. Dedicated EV chargers. That doesn’t even consider just a regular 110 outlet in a garage if some one absolutely needed it.
Point is, if someone wants this car and lives in an apartment, there are options
clean that camera lense, can't watch more then a few mins its horrible.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in my eyes there is no way I would drive that. Ugly.
People say that Model Y looks kind of like Pontiac Aztek.
Gotta get the red or quicksilver IMO
this car is a joke! poor fit and finish! can't open the car door at times! 240$ per month in insurance cost, I am a perfect second driver too over 30, warning can't just call the dealership if you have issues ! wheels get road rash just by looking at them, tires are poor just look at the face, prices change every month so my value goes down not stable company what a joke, I want my money back Tesla
Yawn….. go stoke some fear elsewhere. Fwiw- my insurance is ~100/month as a 29M in Michigan
