Great presenting style - answering the important questions and having a lot of fun on the way! Love this channel.
Great, informative review!
We've had our Model Y performance for two months now, and it's absolutely the nicest car i've owned!
The fact that it does over the air updates means that even after you've purchased the car, the car keeps getting better and better! The blind spot monitoring feature demo'd in this review, my car didn't initially have it. About two weeks after we purchased the car, an OTA update added that great feature!
We've also had a feature which turn on heat seats automatically (if you choose) whenever the heater is turned on, and sets it to the same setting as the heater...if the heater is on high, seat warmer will be set to high, etc. Again, another feature added after we took delivery!
They also added additional video services you can watch while in the car, so now it has Tic Tok, Disney +, RUclips, plus several other services! Sonic the Hedgehog was also added.
Great car!
My wife finds herself going to pick our daughter up early, just so she can sit in the car and watch videos , play video games or whatever, while waiting for our daughter to get out of school!
I’ve seen quite a few Model Y reviews, this is one of the best! Need to get you to do more of these!
Brilliant review Eilis. I learned more about the Model Y than any other I've seen. This format rocks, and you delivered with a confidence, energy and enthusiasm that really made it pop 👍
Really enjoying this style of review videos, light & entertaining but still informative 👍 Loved the getting in the boot & froot 😂
Thanks Eilis for answering my question - v interesting to hear how they do things 🤔
Great review, both yourself and team presented all areas in good timing and camera angles. For example l didn’t know how low the rear windows would go until you sat in the rear seat and explained window thickness. Cheers
Great review! I love the format with you answering questions. This was informative and fun! Thank you.
Good Job! Thanks for taking the time to cover as much as you did, and add all those chapters 😉
Great video. Enjoyed it. Thanks so much!
Congratulations on this flawless review!! As a Tesla shareholder and a future MYP owner i have to encourage viewers to watch this review in detail because it is by far the most accurate in RUclips . Thank you for this perfect job!!
At the moment you can use the voice command for your climate settings, audio, glove box and lots more.
Brilliant video. Have watched 10+ UK reviews as I am about to order and this was by far the best!
Lovely review! I'd like to point out that the performance wheels are 21" and that the Model Y also has the Bioweapon Defense Mode HEPA filter that the Model 3 does not.
Another fantastic & informative video. You are Ace-ing the classical car review with this Q & A format. Great presenting and great video work & editing.
Just a quick heads up. The lack of buttons is a pain, but, the voice control is amazing. I can never remember where anything is on the centre screen but I tell the car what I want and it does it, every time. Its the best voice control out there AFAIK.
Test drove the model Y today. I really like the upgrades over my model 3 however it did feel less agile and noticeably bigger, I really didn't like the smaller wing mirrors either.
I think if you really need the extra leg room and big boot then it's worth it otherwise I'd say the model 3 is a better option.
Great video. Will get my Model Y on next tuesday. Greetings from germany
Very informative styled video, thanks !
Loving your content. Informative and entertaining. Keep it up 😊
amazing presentation, subscribed :)
Pick mine up in a couple of weeks and have two big labradors, so good to hear / see the dog Q answer 👌
Good review thanks. My wife and I just ordered one three days ago. We test drove the Y a couple of months back and some other EVs and hybrids. Nothing compared to the Y. Loads of room for my long legs and my tall daughters and 2 dogs. I love the fact that it didn't feel like any other car. The white interior adds to this feeling of driving a spaceship. One thing we were caught out on (and this I guess is our fault for not researching better) the cost of installing the home charger. It's £425 itself and approx £1000 to get it installed. Plus a major ballache answering all the questions from the certified installer on our electrical system in our house. But, you live and learn and we are the first in our family to go EV so at least we can advise friends and family if they decide to go down this route.
It's safe to say my wife and I are excited to get this car, going to fill the next 3-4 months watching review videos like this!
Oh, and one last thing the reviewer said youw ould be the coolest mum on the school run.... When we told our 13 year old daughters we had ordered a Tesla they were mortified. Apparently it will be embarrassing to be picked up and dropped off. So school bus it is for them then!
You really don't need the home charger: the mobile charger (which used to be included) only costs $250 and is only a bit slower than the wall-mounted one.
Brilliant review! Well done and will look out for more…..order placed and can’t wait for May delivery.
Great video. Can't wait to get mine in May in Grey, white interior and black wheels 🤪
Great review thanks 👍🏻
When there's a Tesla around, you consider nothing less 😌
Great review, thanks
Great review! You actually touched on all bases and more despite my initial concern about the format ask a question and you’ll answer it. You sorted through the questions well and covered the Model Y quite fully. 👍
That’s awesome to hear! ☺️
Fabulous review - thanks
Thanks for answering my question niece Eilis.
One of the best EVs out there, imho. And again, my compliments on an excellent review and fantastic production value of the team!
I watch because I love the videos and content but I also find it so refreshing having funny, confident, intelligent and knowledgeable ladies showing off the cars and what they can do! So many RUclips channels are missing female perspective on cars and I just love that this channel ticks this box. Many many years ago I only watched fifth gear because of Vicki Henderson. We can never have too many female car journalists. Congrats to the team for always putting out amazing videos.
Wow thank you for the kind words! And thanks for supporting the channel
Good review, just awaiting my Y later this month.
Love this review…so looking forward to getting my first Tesla MYLR next month
Great job!
Right on the button. Thanks for the cracking presentation, as good as the car itself.
Great review!
Great review and the only reviewer who actually answered all my questions!
Eilish, as always, great review! Very thorough and useful. And very charming, too!
Very entertaining love it
Thank you. What a great presenter and DDG as well. Made this happy man feel quite old. My MY due in June. Can't wait.... except I will have to.
Love the new format
Adorable! And the car is nice too
What a treat. A model y and a supermodel.
Good video, Just an FYI the super charger you visited was a V2 not a V3, the V3 superchargers are only CCS. V2 supercharger has a custom type 2 charger and a CCS only supporting upto 150kw, V3 supercharger support upto 250kw through CCS only.
Good review
Good review.
Just hoping that they will improve the turning circle on the Berlin cars.
great vid but ive never been a fan of theses cars but the new fisker ocean looks amazing cant wait for u guys to do a hands on n walk around with that car/suv
The Fisker looks great for somebody who has a bad taste.
We'll definitely try and get hold of one as soon as we can. We might have to wait until next year in the UK though.
aircon can be controlled with voice commands, lots safer than buttons
It absolutely feels special, I had to drop mine off after only having it for 2 weeks, as they wanted to check a sensor. Im now stuck with a Hyundai Sonata because they ran out of loaners. And I'm hating every second of it lol.
Wait hol'up! I got model y in November in 2021 but many updates later no blind spot cam. Updates happen in queue like nature?
Yep. For UK its a good choice. Since it’s made in China. Not so much for North America. I almost ordered a Tesla but chickened out. Anyway. Enjoying the MINI SE a lot while waiting for the Cross Turismo. Will try public charge the MINI this summer probably.
I like Eilis!
I've had my Model Y for 3 weeks now and I don't get everyone complaining about climate controls on the touchscreen.
I've had that climate menu up 2 times since delivery: the first day to set everything to automatic (including heated seats) + initial airflow setup and the second time to activate heated stearing wheel on a very cold days where I forgot to preheat the cabin.
For the rest it is enough to just slightly increase or decrease temp. without opening the tab
Btw: great video, little doggy 😅
How’s the ride? I tested one with the large wheels and it was as rough as a horse but would like to know what it’s like on the regular 19” wheels
@@joey-pn3xe Yes, when I went for a test drive it also had the 20" wheels and it is uncomfortably firm, to the point were every little bump or road imperfection goes right into your spine.
I got the 19" on mine and it is still firm but, like acceptably firm and sporty.
It is still not as comfortable as an Ioniq 5 or EV6 or ID.4.
@@welfiblablabla thanks for the reply. I ended up ordering the new Lexus NX phev. Maybe by the time that lease is up, there’ll be more options for comfy premium electric cars.
@@joey-pn3xe if price is not a problem, there are already comfy, premium alternatives 😉
Regarding climate coltrols while driving: Don't forget you can use voice commands - e.g. if you're feeling cold, say "I'm cold" and the car will increas interior temp by 1.5 degrees C. Same idea for "I'm hot". Just press the right scroll wheel to activate voice commands.
No Tesla cars currently offer V2G, including the MY
Great review with 2 minor corrections: Tesla's claimed range is often more then actual user's experience AND Tesla does NOT have bi-directional power ports.
It has always seemed silly to me to charge your car for next day use and then end up dumping the charge into your house??? IMHO
Brilliant
❤your accent - nice video!
I've sold back to Porsche my Taycan Cross Turismo 4S and have bought a Tesla Model Y. Change over next Monday. I loved the Porsche but too many software updates & malfunctions of the software necessitating a full day "wasted" and a 100+ mile round trip to the dealer were the killer. What I'll miss most is my "head-up" display.
Can you confirm about headlight? Is this matrix?
hansshow instrument cluster supports apple carplay and android auto but the only reason I want it is for native siri/messages integration. otherwise I prefer the standard tesla interface
I love my model Y
I'd love one. What manufacturer produces the speakers in Tesla's? I do prefer the Model 3 only cause it's small.
Tesla produces them themselves. It's a Tesla sound system.
Standard Range desperately needed for UK market. It's just too expensive currently. Hopefully we'll see SR appear when Berlin production starts. That boot size is the dream of anyone with a young family.
Eilis nice review very good clear and honest review how does this compare to last weeks Renault Megan E Tech iconic spec with the Harman Kardon sound set up for £35 k compared to Tesla Y at £55K yes the Y is super quick and more space quicker charging but £20k is a lot of money I am fan of Tesla but who has 55k most people will stuggle to afford £30-35k for a Megan the Megan has Ambient Lighting never understand why Elon has not used Ambient Lighting in any Tesla also Model3 and Y needs Heads up display both great cars all depends on your budget
19" wheels but unfortunately the tyre is narrow and thus not providing any protection to the wheel rim. See the damage on the back wheel there.. i noticed this on a model I test drove too.
Today I spotted a 22 plate Tesla Model Y that's the first 22 plate car I saw and it's a Model Y well right now there's just a bunch of 21 plate model 3's (I see more new cars than old cars Teslas and other cars I see the new ones it's rare to see an old Tesla or an old car) so later this year there will probably be a bunch of model Y's and next year there will be loads on the roads.
Model Y is a beautiful car.
saw couple of shots of Berkeley Square, lovely! don't think Tesla do V2G yet though?
So - does the car actually support Vehicle to Load ?
Love this format! Thanks for answering my question 👍☺️ as practical as the Y is, I feel its proportions are a little odd looking. I have a Model 3 LR and wouldn't change to a Y
I test drove the Y recently and decided to switch from the 3LR as I preferred the higher driving position and roomier cabin.
@@midnightstar4065 I'm happy being lower down but would have loved the 3 to be a hatchback. My 3 fits in my garage, the Y wouldn't!
Great video! I think the Kia EV6 is its main rival, and with the supercharger network opening up, that is much better value. Also many people charge at home so public charging does not matter as much.
12:23 what car is that black one?
It is neat to see the stearing wheel on the wrong side.
🔥
the tesla model y is a great car
I thought that just the driver and passenger windows had the double pane glass, not the windows in the back?
Model Y has double panes in the front and rear, also the rear windows are tinted.
Great review Eilis! Think we need to get an actual dog 🐕 in the future and protect your head! Lol 🤣 or wear a helmet in the boot space test - thank you for the review
Super review!! I was a huge Tesla fan for years, as I love the tech, until other makers started to make EVs. I'm a BMW owner, and have just discovered the i4 edrive40. I prefer some buttons, and a more familiar feel to a car, rather than feeling like I'm in a scandanavian space ship. In my humble opinion, the i4 has more range, looks better, inside & out, handles like a proper sports car, and you can still fit the family & luggage in too. Charges up to 205kw, so like the Y, 80% arrives in 30 mins or so. Plus, my wife hates the look of Teslas 🤣. So, i4 it is then. 😁
How good is the actual range?
@@Clim0711 well WLPT is around 340+ miles, so real world is probably 290 to 300. I’m happy with that. The model Y starts at 314 miles, so real world would be around 260 ish.
Isn’t the I4 more expensive and smaller?
@@Lecruque Yes, but as I already own a 4 series Gran Coupe, then extra space isn't the deciding factor for us. The lower body style, handling, interior / exterior styling and range are more important.
@@Nick_Smith1970 wish I had that luxury, but with 3 kids an SUV is almost a must. Even our g31 5 series is not super practical for a big family.
The instrument-cluster - screen - in-front-of-you issue.
It's all down to Tesla's design language for the Model 3. If you want a second screen in front, there is the Model S and Model X. There won't be a screen in Model 3 or Y because, and that's not all due to autonomy, it's a minimalistic design choice. Tesla wasn't the first to have a centered screen for relevant driving data though, they just took it further with that big one do-everything-screen. So, you don't really need a second screen like in the other models. If you just want to, well that's a different thing.
YEAH ITS A GOOD LOVELY CAR , -)
Many commonly sought after features that used to be controlled by physical buttons can now be done by voice control. Completely hands and distraction free.
I don’t think Tesla has the vehicle to load wiring yet…
on model 3 tear down Sandy Munro saw Tesla had the circuit on the master bord at that time not active! Did Tesla want to sell power walls?
How does the battery react with winter weather? This question goes for maybe all EV’s. Do they need to be kept in a climate controlled environment when home?
Batteries are less efficient when cold, average is about 20%.
Norway is very big on EVs and no problems with their very cold climate.
No problems in Norway...
That was worth it just for seeing Ellis on her hands and knees alone. 😂
Good car but I think it's way too expensive, as are all other teslas. In Sweden cheapest TM3 LR is about 63 000€
Hoping for Sono Motors Sion or the Dacia Spring that your team covered already. I could make due with 250km range if it has fast charging.
05:40
Frunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😆
I love almost everything about this car except the fact that it doesn't have an instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. I want to see pertinent driving infos in front of me.
I think people make a bigger deal about it than what it really is. Speed is at the top right/left corner so it's really easy to see it. I drive an M3 and never had an issue with that.
Why do some Y's have a black plastic wheel arch and some dont?
Very nice but what do you do if you run out of battery in the middle of nowhere? You can't carry a spare can of petrol or diesel with you, nor can you phone a friend to bring one to you...
In a worst case scenario,Could you find anywhere in the UK that's 300 miles away from a plug socket? Even Clarkson, ignoring rapid charge options,couldn't do that..
WLTP range has been increased to 331 miles.
I've been driving ICEs for half a century, so I need quite some converting to these weird, high-tecky vehicles. At the moment, I get it that Tesla are in a league of their own; and this model looks like a great replacement for our Jaguar E-Pace. Question is, as the video states there are no dealers, where on earth does one buy Teslas? (I'm in the U of K.)
I think they have showrooms where you can view and test drive the cars but you order it online if you want to buy. It might seem odd to some people but at least you don't have to pay the dealer markups
Thumbnail is Noice 😇
Yeah, another jumping thumbnail 😁
They're onto us!!! 👀
with a tesla you have the sound system at the drive in movie.
Enjoyed the road test. Still can't appreciate the looks of a vehicle that has the design of a jelly mould and over the years that aspect of Tesla hasn't diminished. On the plus side I like the space and convenience. I would enjoy the excellent performance for about month but would continued bursts use up the tyres to quickly? Finally, is there a heads up display an option?
did you all drive a prius before? did you ever heard people complaining toyota prius does not have a speed gauge before the steering wheel? no one heard of it. It has been 15 years of Prius, no one mention that...
It's a Frunk or a Froot depending on whether the back is a Trunk or a Boot
4:42 that's not double glazed glass if you compare that to the front glass
5:40 producer is wrong. As an Aussie I agree should be a FROOT for us
