Well said. Just took deliver of my MYLR 3 weeks ago and loving it. I wasn't thinking Tesla when I started the buying process but dealer markups, lack of EV inventory, & Tesla price cuts earlier this year made me reconsider. Once I took a MY on a test drive I was sold. Also, I can take this EV on a road trip reliably. Looking forward to that. Also, how sweet is it not to have to spend several hours at a dealership buying a car & trying not to get ripped off?
Hands down the best rundown of the Model Y I've seen. Well done! As a Model Y owner, i concur with everything.
How can you say that... TOTALLY missed safety benefits❗
@@LJ-jq8og you can read those on a spec sheet. He dove into what it's like to live with.
Of course you do. 😊 I’m not a Tesla owner but basically so do I. Today.

THANK YOU for stating the obvious!
I never understood the ongoing comparison of Tesla, any Tesla, to bargain basement or high efficiency ICE vehicles.
When I got my 2021 M3 SR+ (the cheapest, slowest, smallest, shortest range Tesla), I compared it (and still do) to the 2021 BMW 330i RWD. They’re actually comparable!

There's a big difference between cost and cost of ownership. You can compare a Tesla Model 3 to much higher end luxury vehicles if comparing performance, or lower cost vehicle if looking at overall lifetime ownership costs. Like I drove an Audi S4 and wasn't impressed. I drove a much cheaper Model 3 LR and was blown away. Comparable in performance but not price. Same as my Mazda3 that was much cheaper. With gas prices and additional maintenance, my Model 3 is about the same cost to own as that vehicle. People assume I'm rich because I own a Tesla. Nope, just cheap.
@@TheAdventureAuto I like my comparison I did to the BMW much better. If someone wanted to run figures for operation over (x) years, they can do that. Using mental math, I can get close enough on the Beemer and my M3.
But thanks for the info.
Big Tesla fan myself, but you’re only comparing by performance when you should also include the interior and build quality which Tesla is really lacking vs it’s luxury competitors.
Panel gaps on a 40k+ car is nuts
@@ItzRoe Not sure if your point here. I was commenting about the comparison so many make to the Model 3 and economy priced ICE vehicles.
I chose to compare the Tesla to that particular BMW model, using the objective metrics provided by Car and Driver. Those metrics are absolutely quantifiable and therefore comparable.
Of course, people will also include subjective qualities, including those you’ve mentioned, when choosing a car. Or really anything. That’s their prerogative and their right.
Some like BMW as you do, other prefer other similar brands (Lexus, MB, Audi, etc…). So goes life.
Me? I’d choose the Tesla again if I was doing it again. 50+ years of driving, and this is unlike any other car I’ve ever owned or driven!
But to each their own.
Concise, well thought out ( you hit all the points of interest), well spoken, ( you didn’t banter about with meaningless drivel),and all in all, you made me a believer. High Kudos to you!
The model Y is absolutely solid. Solid

The local FIRE CHIEF was freaked out because he said on camera, that almost ALWAYS crashes there are guaranteed fatalities.... When he looked through his binoculars and saw all the people still moving around he was in shock...
Hope they locked up the driver for reckless driving and endangerment

Been awhile since I commented on a video. I told you I was going from a Corolla to a Model Y. Got my Model Y last May in Atlanta. Still love it!
As a Mercedes GLC coupe driver, I agree that I can see the benefits of choosing Tesla over other EVs. I test drove MB EVs and experienced that Mercedes overprices and has little to no knowledge on EV fleet. Your video is definitely the most thorough and helpful!
On brake service, I just had mine done and it was easy and cheap at the Tesla Service Center. I live in snow country and drive on gravel roads part of the time. The gravel roads kick up a lot of mud in the Spring and that sticks to the wheel wells and the brake areas. In addition the roads are treated with magnesium chloride to bind the gravel and fines for a hard surface. Also the paved roads are salted to keep the ice clear. Those salts bind the sticky mud and road dirt to the underside. Finally, as Gjeebs says, regen braking means your brake calipers and subsystems are not exercised very often and the lubrication originally applied will dry up and prevent proper action of the brakes when needed. For those drivers in winter conditions, I highly recommend getting your brakes service on schedule and that is true for any EV that provides regen braking or one-pedal driving.
All good points above. I live in Canada, where our experience in winter is similar. I’ve toggled on the feature to use the rear brakes when regen braking is limited. It’s the rear brakes that are more likely to have the calipers seize up in winter rather than the fronts (its a result of the salt water spraying up in the rears right where the brakes sit). Servicing brakes annually, or at minimum biannually is a must, but this is also true for any other car with rear disc brakes. The cost at Tesla was a few hundred $CA… no different than any other brand.
Great educational video on the most popular car in the world! Thanks for the tip on the Lasfit back seat cover mats. I ordered them through your link.
Waiting for my MYLR to arrive in Phoenix, unexpectedly ordered 5/4 due to price cut and Fed’s, expected 6/15-30. The accessory boxes are piling up and wall connector already installed. Checking for vin on the daily.
I think there would be less stress if they gave you a tighter delivery timeframe like 6/15-6/20 rather than “May-June 2023”
Awesome awesome review!! I love using the dog mode for my pups when I leave my dog in the car. It is wonderful!! 😊❤
I recently vacationed in Arizona and rented a Model Y and I loved it! I did not know that I could access the HOV lane so next time I visit I will know better! It's a great vehicle and I miss it. I am in eastern Canada and today I'm selling my Merc E250 and will look at a Tesla in the Spring.
Just bought a new tesla model y lr, i am in love!
Great review. I like the fast shotgun, just the facts approach. Too many you tubers spend time with fluff. I also agree that the Model Y is a bargain. Even though I paid thousands more for my wife’s MYP it’s was still worth it. It feels like a high tech 911 on stilts. I have a Taycan which is a beautiful sports car that I love, but I often find myself driving my wife’s MYP because it is soooo good.
So true about the other you tubers who spend too much time on long preambles, life stories, etc. and other fluff
Hey Gjeebs, I drive my 2020 Model Y Performance in Wisconsin. In winter I swap out my summer set with a winter set of wheels/tires. Extra cost, but Discount Tire swaps them for free, and even plugged one of my tires when they found a nail in one of them.
As for brakes, I've set the feature where if regen is limited, the car will use the brake pads to simulate as if you had regen braking, such as on a nearly full charge or in extreme cold. I'll usually just go around 50 mph, then hit the brake pedal to use it every now and then and reduce/eliminate any rust that might be forming. So far after 72k miles they're still working fine.
Good to know! So you haven't gone to Tesla at all for your brakes then?
Hey, I'm looking into a 2021 with about 30k miles for $30k. Just figured the prices dipped a bunch, it's a good time to get one? Has anything changed from what you know from any new info from Tesla or the EV lifestyle?
Great info. When I'm getting ready to buy will contact you for further advice. Thanks.
👍Thumbs up for the LasFit seat back covers. Perfect fit and look great with the 3D MAXpider cargo liners.
yea I was impressed with them
Huge Tesla fan, long term stockholder. Saw you referenced by The Electric Viking. Great video. If Tesla decides to advertise, this video is a great benchmark. Cover all the features that are unique to Tesla alone, then show that Tesla provides superior quality and better value on the features that Legacy Automakers can provide. Those comparisons will help to sell cars and educate consumers.
Lol yeah same here. Going back 3 years seeing this guy going from the Tesla is probably a bit better than a M2 to now is pretty crazy.
Agreed! I Just ordered one 2 weeks ago!
Gjeebs, great video. After 1 year of owning a Model Y LR, I totally agree with your comments.
Very nice! Great success!!
I love my Model Y. I don't drive the trip distance you do or people Bearded Tesla or Lockett Tech but when I do get out there on the road I'm not worried once bit about find a working charger.
My wife and I live in Virginia and drove the Atlantic City. It's about a 3 to 4 hour drive and I never needed to stop and charge. I parked the vehicle for the 3 or 4 days we were there and only needed to charge one time on the way back. This past weekend we drove to Virginia beach, because our state is a big state, and stayed for a couple days. Didn't need to charge on the way there and only once on the way back. The charging station was outside of a Sheetz gas station/convenience store which allowed me to take a bathroom break and order a salad. I got back to the car and was ready to go with more than enough charge to get home. Now the car is on charge waiting until off-peak tie and will be fully ready for me for work in the morning.
Don't get me wrong. There are some other great EVs out there and if you're interested in them they are worth checking out but definitely have a check list to want you want and need in an EV and it will help you make up your mind. For me I needed space, range and charging reliability and Tesla was the only one that checked every box.
Can u use other EV cars in the tesla charging stations.
Facts!! Couldn't imagine buying any other EV! Mercedes has a nice product and Polestar but no thanks, the 'no thinking required', charging Tesla has is hands down unchallenged and industry leading!
Just sold our MYLR and rolled the positive equity into a 2023 MYP, taking delivery on Tuesday and can't frikkin wait! Proud and blessed to be a South African and drive a car made in the US and by a fellow countryman! Thx Elon!!
Just ordered my new model Y to replace my 2018 Ford Explorer Sport that gets 15 MPG with 40k miles but is already having to have the rear differential unit replaced. The cost for charging 12am-6am .0716 so clear savings for me especially with solar.
Great review. Question, I am about to order model Y and hesitate between regular range and long range
What do you recommend?
Great video. Very helpful. We are considering the model Y and also live in the Phoenix area. How is that panoramic glass roof in the hot Phoenix sun? Did you add extra tint? Do you have a recommendation in the greater Phoenix area?
Scored a MYP for $51k with inventory . With white interior and hitch. Love it
10,000 miles here on a 22 MYP. Great power if needed and just very solid. Berri No-ICE.
Cool cuts. Good reminder how you can haul stuff w a Model Y!
Don't forget the joy of getting timing belt changed. Which my most recent quote is $1400.
I waited for 1 year and took delivery in early November 2022 before all discounts and tax credit. Talking about getting kicked on my ballsack 😢
Great job should I get tghe Y long range or LFP?
Very well done ❤
This guy should be paid by Tesla,he makes his comments funny but sells the cars,the only downside is I now really want the Y model but like most people I cannot afford one (at the moment)
Yea just keep saving and don't make a rushed decision. The Model Y will always be here
Thanks for review. After having a solar panels for almost two years which brought my electric bill down to zero I'm probably the best candidate for buying EV. Working from home and using the car mostly to take kids to school is another factor. But call me cheap - I would consider myself practical - I need a car to move around in relative comfort. With the recent price drop from Tesla I started looking closely. But then I realized there are hidden costs Tesla owners pay - doubled registration fees, almost doubled insurance, while maintenance is lower the parts (wheels) are doubled in price. Therefore while the recent price cuts are really impressive at this point Tesla doesn't look practical but rather luxury option.
Hey Gjeebs. I was wondering if you can get the camera a little closer to your face on the next video. Was almost able to see your uvula 😂
Great job thank you
Got my Y 2 weeks ago and its the best car so far, even after the 2 model 3 cars that i had.
Got a model y performance delivered two weeks after I pulled the trigger! I'm fairly close to the Fremont factory, which is where mine was assembled. So there was no quality issues. It's an amazing car. The only problem I have is the rims get damaged everytime you hit the curb 😭 (and you WILL hit the curb. Don't @ me) but besides that, it exceeds in every department.
Don’t all rims get damages when hitting curbs?
@@lemongavine When you have low profile tires, doesn't usually happen on GMC Acadia, Ford Escape etc or Tesla with aftermarket wheels and tires
@@lemongavine these ones are particularly large. So even a short curb can rub against your rim, especially that they don't have covers. Also, the 21 inch rims have more aesthetic value than the 19 inch ones that are less likely to get damaged.
Why did you pull a trigger?
@Gjeebs - trying to decide between a white and a red performance Model Y ..... which one would you choose ... and Y ?
Dude, you got a shout out from The Electric Viking. Can't ask for better approbation than that. 😁 That dude's been my go-to for EV news for a while now.
Well, the MachE (and all other Ford's) will be using the Tesla Supercharger network plus the other fast charging networks, so that's a bonus.
You are so wrong about "people who buy a Hyundai Elantra aren't interested in a Tesla". They aren't interested because of the price, not because it would take too long to save on the price of gas. The charging network is the single largest competitive advantage Tesla has.
Thinking seriously of a LR Y. Very helpful information
Did you end up getting one?
What's the difference between Keep Mode and Dog Mode?
Good sales pitch. Sentry already helped me in fender bender, completely exonerated. model 3 performance is a great car.
Thank you great review! Ordered my Model Y. Should be here next week🥳 ordered these mats with your 15% off promo code . Thanks again
Nice! Thanks for the support and congrats on your Y!
The Performance variant is an absolute beast and feel it is a better value over the other two model Y variants. I really like the convenience and ease of one-pedal driving.
Different strokes for different folks. IMHO, in EV cars, range is everything. Which is why I opted for the MYLR. Plus the thin tires on the MYP cost more to replace and will have a harsher ride compared to the MYLR. Both the P and LR will have battery degradation, making the usable range even less. The LR is plenty fast enough for me as it should be for most. But if youre a speed freak ,by all means knock yourself out with the MYP lol. And it was pointed out the red brakes on the MYP were just MYLR brakes that were painted red and had nothing to improve performance lol. If you look at videos of model S plaid on nurburgring by UA-camr I forgot the name, the review concluded its a great car for straight line but had horrible brakes and not suited to track use ie windy roads in real life, he said it was very unstable.
@@joesolo7719 wouldn’t the SR also have battery degradation?
@@RoqueExclusives i think LFP battery in the SR degrades less supposedly
One pedal is great for reducing driver fatigue also.
@@zerohecks4864 all teslas models are one pedal driving
I use the Lasfit LED bulbs for all my cars. Use his code for those too.
How much did those tires cost? :)
I drove a model Y and 3 both a couple times this weekend. The new model 3 Highland is superior in build quality and super quiet. The Y had wind and road noise. They tried to get me to purchase a Y. At first i put 250 to hold it and lost 250. Becuase i then test drove the y again and didnt like it. Even with th 7500 federal incentive and other discounts. Id prefer to get a 3 highland instead. Which i will be doing soon.
Great car but how noisy is at highway speed?
love how you compared it to vehicles priced in the 50k range...
Lots of great info on this video. Before taking the plunge to by a Tesla, I would love to rent one for a weekend. Any recommendations? Thanks
Hertz has them
Sadly, the model y is slightly out of my price range but a model 3 isn't, but I hate sedans vs hatch/suv. Can't wait until the new tesla comes out that is a smaller model y it be the perfect car for me.
Damn your Sony Alpha ZV-E10 is so crisp! Your face is so clear on my OLED 4K lol
Arizona's Energy Efficient Plate Program has ended. The program allowed eligible vehicles unrestricted access to the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in Arizona. Current holders of an energy efficient plate may continue to use that plate on a qualifying vehicle and make use of the HOV lanes.
I thought I had heard this. So I googled it. They are not issuing new Energy Efficiency Plates.
It is in Austria cheaper than any ICE car, when it is a company car which can be privately used by an employee. At the tax calculation for the employee is 2% of the new price of an ICE car added, but 0% at an electric car. So even the Dacia Sandero for 12.000 € is for the company more expensive than the 45.000 € Tesla Y RWD.
08:30 There are electricity providers in Austria giving spot market prices. Because Germany has so much photovoltaic, there are negative prices at sunny weekends.
I'm owning a Renault Zoe (ev) , and I have oppurtunity to charge home, but I never do, and i never had a problem to charge it up on street chargers. Next year going to buy a Y or a 3, I will never sit back to a combustion engine car.
As a new Tesla User (Owner) 😜
How y’all using ‘ Cabin Overheat Protection’ ?
Is it really worth it turning on? Or what are situations you might be using?
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Congrats on the new car! I love my Model Y!
The sole purpose of cabin overheat protection is to save the lives of children and pets who are accidentally left in the car. Elon boasted recently that no child or pet has died in a Tesla this way. Cabin overheat protection turns off after 12 hours so it is not useful for keeping the max temperature of the cabin down.
I have a dog but there is no way I would forget him in the car. I live in the desert and I have cabin overheat protect sent to vent only. IMO unless there is chance it will save the life of a child or pet, setting cabin overheat protection on A/C (the default) is a waste of energy and money.
I think this is all explained in the manual.
This video has aged well! (Better..). Just ordered one!

can you review Rally Armor mudflaps for model Y?
After watching. You are really make me want to place an order model Y but I have one question that Now it’s Aug of 2023, Do you think I better should wait for 2024 Model Y to buy ? As I research, the new 2024 model will have design change and add more range.Thank you for your reply
You decide to wait or did u get one last year?
Would you buy a model y right now or wait until the model 3 update comes out so you have an idea of what changes are coming to the model y. I'm torn right now. MYP prices are great right now
If you are totally happy with the Y right now then order it. There is always something new around the corner and Tesla is historically delayed.
I just bought a Model 3. I don't care for when and how and for how much the new version comes sometimes in the future.
I have a 2020 MYLR and it doesn’t bother me when new models are released. The cars are amazing, if you want it buy it.
OTA. It keeps my 2021 M3 SR+ current and fresh, unlike any other car I’ve had in 50+ years of driving!
My only issue is the lack of radar, I've been hoping it comes back in the refresh. I want to feel like I can use auto pilot without having to worry as much about phantom braking.
Oil changes are every 3k miles, most people need to change 3-4 times a year at $40-50 a pop
What about a used 2021 model Y in 2024, prices are down but i do hear about lead acid battery, something about that trying to do more research
Love my model Y❤
Can someone please give me a rundown of what its like owning a model Y in NYC?
(specifically living in an apartment building, not a house)
Thanks in advance
I do want a Model Y. But the "savings" are not a real reason to buy one. Any gas savings you get over a ICE vehicle, you lose in the increased insurance costs. I have 3 gas vehicles on my insurance, including a 40k truck and I pay $379 a month in insurance. To add a Model Y, it would add another $300 a month in insurance costs. Those batteries are extremely expensive to replace and you have to replace them in most accidents.
I love this guy!! Great videos as always 💯💯💯the Apple iPhone of EV
yep
I don’t really need the extra space or range which is why I’ll go for the model 3 instead and save 10k
I've had my AWD Model Y for 2 weeks now with not even a hint of parking assist. Any idea of when they send out the update for this?
I noticed being connected to wifi with a good signal when I park at home got me updates sooner than later. Also turn on the “advanced” on the software update section.
Yes you must do the update
@@minmo1992 Thanks. Yeah I have had it on "advanced." Coincidentally I just downloaded a 2023.12.9 update that I found after going into the software section of controls. So much for auto updates, and still no parking assist.
@@travelbydragonfly you have to install the update after it finishes downloading.
@@minmo1992 I did that. It didn't say much either, something like "minor bug fixes."
so very true.
I like being able to sit in the garage with the car running sometimes. I could absolutely never do this with a ICE vehicle
Well, you could do it once.
Hey buddy. I've meant to ask this a couple of times, and now I'm sure this comment will get lost in the shuffle. Anyone feel free to respond! Is it better to charge the Tesla up to a higher percentage when traveling and not run it down below 20% , or is it better to charge at like 80% and run it below 20% before charging back up? And I'm talking like day trips/commuting long distances, not cross country road trips on the network. Home charging.
Running it down under 20 would be faster charging after 80 gets slow
@@Gjeebs ahh. Does this affect battery degradation differently at all?
@@scottyplug Not really
They need a control wheel, mouse. I hate the idea of touch screen only, some buttons and a wheel would make it so much better.
I just ordered S3XY Buttons from Abstract Ocean. They give you up to 8 programmable buttons you can put anywhere you want. I love the touchscreen but having a few buttons for things I want quick access to will be great.
Hopefully this will be our next purchase in 2024
I've been screaming all of these points from the rooftop since 2012. Like the infrastructure alone is enough to buy a tesla. And on top of that they're still making money when you or a non-tesla owner charges a car using their chargers. No point in getting an even from a company whose bread and butter is still the ICE.
Model Y with the tax credit is cheaper than a top-of-the-line Honda CR-V because the Honda dealers are adding thousands in dealer add-ons. Ordered Model Y Long Range in Red, with scheduled delivery between 5/29 and 6/26. Will subscribe to FSD for $199 per month rather than pay $15k for the upgrade.
gjeebs i ordered the performance do you think i can put 19 inch wheels on it cus after doing research the 21 inch wheels cause problems with curb rash and overral price to get new tires
Yes, they even make 18" rims that fit the MYP brakes
Engineering Explained damaged a tire and wheel with the 21" by going over a pot hole. He also recommends 19" wheels.

So much more one will get compared to traditional automakers. The others just don’t get it.
Your tax rebate example is a little oversimplified, or just wrong; not sure which. If you’re single and make $100K, you pay 10% on roughly the first $10K, 12% on the next $30K, then 22% on the next $50K, and finally 24% on the last $10K of *taxable* income. The weighted average of these is your effective tax rate. More precisely, to determine our effective tax rate, divide your total ax owed by your taxable income.
My Y had chips from transport. Tesla took it to a local shot, F'd up paint job. Need to hound Tesla tomorrow.
I guess I was just lucky... My Y arrived perfectly... Sounds like they forgot exterior covering ?
Great video. Question……..how do you tell friends or acquaintances all the reasons to procure a Tesla when they are in your model Y? It’s difficult for me to find a place to start. Can you go through a make believe scenario on what you discuss first and what you hit last.? I like how you do such a great job of being terse but robust.
😂
Do you have to let the battery run most of the way down before you charge it or is it ok to top off the battery if you stop for lunch?
You can top it off and that's totally fine but set your charge limit to 80 or 90% not 100%
@@Gjeebs thanks. I appreciate the quick response!
I've watched tesla videos for years. You litterly nailed everything 👍
Always amazes me how cheap Mercedes, BMW and Audi are in the US, relative to Australia. The nationwide distributors set a pricing premium over all cars sold in the country, much like dealer markups in the US, but country wide. Teslas, on the other hand, are priced practically the same as in the US (currency differences accounted for).
He only mentioned the base prices of the base models. You start adding options it goes up quickly to an additional 15-20k.
@@minmo1992 That's what I am talking about, base prices.
is there a way I can use the referral if I have already ordered a Tesla 2 weeks ago?
You can ask your sales advisor and see what they say. I've seen this work on the past
2 years ago, when I got my Tesla, the sales advisor allowed me to retroactively apply a referral code. It was less than a week after I placed my order, and more than three weeks before I took delivery - At home!
Ask. The worst they’ll say is “No.”
Tax incentive depends on everyone individual situation, you may not necessarily get the full 7.5k. Yes if you owe 22k you get the full 7.5k. But If you only owe 4k in taxes, you only get 4k incentive. If you happen to be getting a refund on your taxes, and don't owe, then you don't get any of the 7.5k
That not how any of that works…you would get a refund due to overpaying on your taxes through paycheck deductions. As long as you paid more than 7500 in taxes that year you would get the full tax credit. This means a 5500 refund could be increased to 13,000. A person would have to make less than 67k a year to not get the full 7,500…and in that case they probably shouldn’t be buying a Tesla.
@bradboudreaux9348 I hope you don't advise people on taxes, because that's not accurate at all.
At most, they will reduce your tax liability to zero. If you don’t owe taxes for the year in which the vehicle was purchased, the credit will not apply.
The tax credit can only be used to reduce the amount of tax you owe. It does not act as a rebate.
That's common sense tho lol
@@kauigirl808 you would think so, but it's not for some people, if you look at the reply to me
@Danny Baker oh actually he said it right. You're just not reading it correctly. That's why he's saying if you don't make minimum 67k, you'll probably get less credit. Not the full credit.
Sold! Getting a Y. 😅
Is your MY LR or SR? Do you recommend Standard range for someone who does road trip of 3 hours and more once or twice a year.
I have a long range. If you are only using it locally standard range will be fine. Just drove one with 19" wheels and it was great
@@Gjeebs thanks for the reply, love your content.
That moral highground is not worth my 50gs baby.
Or you could get ioniq 5 which has more range, is cheaper ,has better DC fast charging and has more space.
I have solar panels installed with no battery pack, owned Tesla MYP and Nissan Leaf. My electric bill did not go up penny. In other words, I never have to gas up again!
Do you know anything about 2024 point of sale federal tax incentives? Thanks
Nobody does yet
Do you get the federal tax credits instantly when purchasing this car on the Tesla website? (I make under $100,000)
No. You have to wait until you file your tax returns. But IIUC this will change in the coming years and you will be able to get a discount when you buy the car.
@@BitJam Thanks! This is all going into consideration for me as I’m considering the purchase of a Tesla.
LOL you are comparing MSRP NO dealer is selling these without markups except Tesla. Apples to Oranges price wise. Dealers lie all the time. Tesla on on FSD
