The door closing sound is definitely something that auto journalists care more about than everyone else.
Yeah for sure, I just do it for kicks
That and going on about hard plastics or surfaces in places you will never touch, like the top of the dash towards the windscreen - who cares (let alone measuring them with a durometer!)
@@zelig9625 I feel it’s got to be done appropriately. There are expectations for certain price points and that needs to be addressed in reviews
Couple of items worth a mention. The emergency door release in the rear door bins underneath the rubber strip, worth becoming familiar with those. Additionally handy to get grills for the vents underneath the seats to stop things rolling into them from the rear floor (rattling like crazy) and becoming very expensive to recover. Beautiful car.
Great pro tips 🙏👍
Agree, brilliant car! Still loving each time my wife & I drive it after 18 months.
So much to love.
And so much to explore!
Have you got indicator stalks?
Yes the Y has indicator stalks … for now
Never liked electric cars. Was always against them for various reasons. Then I drove a Tesla now I own one. If you don’t like them it’s because you’ve never driven one. Drive a Tesla. You’ll fall in ❤
Yeah so true, just test drive one for fun
Why were you against them?
@@oggyoggy1299 oh well, the usual objections people have. You can see them all on the anti-EV RUclips channels. Broken down charges queues at chargers, time it takes to charge, fires battery degradation all of that stuff. Basically ignorance about the facts. My experience has put all those concerns to rest.
@@Chris-be1fo
Yep, within 1 minute of first driving one you realise it’s the future, compared to an ICE.
Once you got hooked then regretting as its depreciation is the worst out of all brands.
If people want to save money on fuel, buy an ICE car!
appreciate your time brother,,,,,,, really great efforts....
cheers👍
Thanks for the review Tom where did you get the retractable cable in the centre front bin from thanks David

Great review Tom, lots of detail & information for would be & even new Y buyers 👌
If I would add one thing, it would’ve been the safety aspect of owning a Y & how it rates etc- seriously important factor for someone buying a car like this often to put their family in & the Y is world class # 1 . Once we get FSD in AU it will be a game changer & make it even safer. The autopilot even on my older S without vision is fantastic, probably use it 70-80% of my driving.
Have passed a link of this video onto family members looking to buy their first EV- Y
Very informative without the sales blurb, can tell it’s done by someone who knows Teslas.
Invaluable for those not yet within the Tesla ecosphere.
Thanks & keep up the great work 🙏
Pleasure! Great suggestion with the safety aspect: as you know, a Tesla is one of the safest cars on the roads right now 🙏
G'day, I see you have a number of links for accessories. Your videos are great and I was particularly interested in the Roof heat vs Seal video.
Having a bald head it initially has turned me off a Tesla, but you mentioned roof shades with silver in them? Could you link me to an example / your preferred option in this regard?

I like the intro you did Tom!
Thanks!
Thanks so much Tom....awesome help.......When will we get a good electric van hey
Thanks! LDV have released the eDeliver 7 ...
Hi
Thanks for Ur review
Just wondering on Ur feedback re HW3 vs HW4. Is hw4 better
Makes no difference to the drive quality even with Autopilot. The repeater and rear cameras provide a higher resolution image though
Great informative video, I was wondering do we really need PPF and tint windows at front as I’m in the process of getting a delivery of MY RWD 2024 in late June.
Tinting windows is not bad idea for privacy, heat rejection and potential efficiency gains. PPF ... maybe around the bonnet if you're concerned about rock chips
@@LudicrousFeed Thank you 🙏!
Hey Tom great videos. I have a question, I hear that summin is not available in Australia, is this true?
Yes for now … might be to do with the fact that the USS in the newer cars are gone
Nice video Tom, just wondering, any news of when Koba car insurance will work with BYD Seal Performance?
Not as yet but will update when they do
boy that quicksilver looks good. still loving my '22 model Y.
Great colour 🤩
Hi Tom, thanks again for the video. Does it dissapoint you that you have such a large screen but need to use your phone for Waze/Maps/etc?
To me, it seems like a backwards step.
Yes for me it’s certainly one of the misgivings of the Tesla ecosystem in that traffic data from Waze is not utilised
Very detailed video Tom, I would like to have a Y for the extra storage, but I still prefer the driving experience of the 3.
Thanks! Yes the 3 is a great alternative if you don’t need the space. Sedans always provide better driving dynamics 🙏
Tom, what’s the device sitting on the left side wireless charging pad?
Oh yes, that’s the case/housing for my camera 📸
Hey Tom, do you notice any difference with Autopilot with them having HW4 camera? I am so torn if I should get the new model with HW4 or save $2k here in QLD buying a HW3 from the inventory. Cheers.
No difference whatsoever for now. Only thing I notice is the higher res repeater and reversing cameras
Another great video Tom. We (Tesla Y owners) still dont have a light at the charge port. I'd still want smoother/softer suspension on sydney's roads. and make the boot 1-2 inches deeper. cant fit long/large suitcases in length wise with rear seats up! how did they not measure. Bring the radar back - Phantom breaking in all the new tunnels in sydney is horrendous.
Yup agree with you feedback particularly about the suspension: it could be smoother …
Thanks for the video. I test drove a 2024 y RWD and although from a complete stop it was a little slow, but accelerating at 50-70 or something like that felt snappy. I always thought I was going to get the LR AWD but it’s 14k more, thoughts? I think range difference is ok
Here's an "on paper" comparison between the different variants:
2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Australia vs RWD vs Performance Pricing ruclips.net/video/vgQ-7hIPMUw/видео.html
@@LudicrousFeed thanks for the video! You’re spot on. 14k more for a faster acceleration and nothing else seems not worth it (especially since rwd is lfp vs nmc) rwd it is! (With 20” wheels)
Booked in on Monday 20th May to test drive the Model Y. Still not sold on the ‘minimalist approach’ but agree that Tesla has the best infrastructure and electronics. I will be driving from Lithgow to Parramatta to do the test drive.
Certainly not perfect, no car is - but there is definitely a lot to like about it 🙏
Can you comment on the anti theft system in this modedl Y?
Sentry Mode? You can now receive notifications to your phone via the Tesla app should the alarm go off
- of course all stationary Sentry Mode recordings can be stored on a SSD or flash drive via the data port
I got a 2024 MYLR and mine came with the USS. I would be a bit dissapointed not getting USS on a non-Juniper Model Y because you're not getting the new facelift and additional Highland type features (new steering wheel, ventilated seats etc.) as a tradeoff.
Good point 🙏
Are the bringing out the version that is currently for sale in china with the internal upgrades etc
Not that I’ve seen thus far unfortunately
Thanks for the reply , I spoke with Tesla today they have announced that the are not brining the updated model Y to Australia this year or even better part of 2025 also
47:25 The ute driver did it correctly . If you see a merge lane speed up to beat the other driver .
Merging safely in Sydney is certainly a fine art
Hi I am keen to get your feedback on BYD sealion6 hybrid AWD. As I am interested to get your perspective of it compared to Tesla Model Y. I drive about 110 kms a day for work.
The Model Y will provide more than enough range if you’re only driving 110km/day. Just charge it every night or every other day
@@LudicrousFeedany plans to do Seallion 6 review in near future
I guess i got a unicorn... 2024 build Model Y with Stalks and USS. Happy about that as I drive it and for the future!
Oh yes! That’s a keeper 👍🤩🦄
I’m so torn between buying a Model Y now vs Waiting. After driving the Updated Model 3 I think the updates are good, but have no doubt the updated Model Y will be accompanied by a price rise.
Hard to tell with Tesla and their yoyo pricing 🤪
Would you go for the y long range or the rwd with enhanced auto pilot? I’m buying one in 2months and that is what I’m trying to decide. Possible “future proof” with EAP or not really worth it and just go the long range? thanks.
EAP not really worth it in 2024 imo
@@LudicrousFeed thanks. I dont do all that much hwy/fwy driving anymore.
Golden opportunity for a "Y so popular?" in the thumbnail
Got me thinking now … 😁
When you meet people in person who know you only from your EV Tom persona do you find it to be a bit of pressure? eg: when people meet you for first time they remember that ‘first impression’ of you and how you treated them & interacted with them (and maybe you were having a good-excellent day, maybe you were having a challanging day and hence ones body language was not at a tip top 99%)
I’m the same person on and off camera 🙏😁
Tom did the my have mood lighting
No mood lighting sadly
The one thing Tesla model 3 and y are lacking is V2L capability for camping and emergency power backup. I really hope when they move future models to 48V low voltage they also include power share like the cyber truck with a V2L plug in the boot or built into a new version mobile connector.
Yeah V2L would be the icing on the cake
Does the Xpeng G6 / Zeekr X / BYD SeaLionO7 ~ all of them have a glass-roof? Why do most EV’s tend to have a glass-roof?
The consensus is that it helps with overall weight reduction
Because of the large battery on the floor, the entire interior is raised, requiring space to be taken from the roof thickness. The implementation of thin glass is necessary.
Hi Tom When I went to see the Cyber truck at Mascot I was thinking of trading my 2023 Model Y for the quick silver Model Y......TOO many things missing that I like on the 2024 car.
Yeah lack of USS could be problematic … but tbh I didn’t notice it too much during the week with this car
1:34 Deliveries of RHD Model Y (RWD) started in August 2022, (P) started in March 2023, (LR) started in June 2023 .. ..then thought how come you didnt get your RWD in Aug 2022 and instead took delivery in April 2023 then remembered that you originally ordered a P then in February 2023 changed order to RWD
Yes correct
is your Seal still good? I’m really interested in this brand
Oh yes! Stay up to date with my Seal playlist: BYD Seal

@@dougcomerford5551 I made it clear in the title that this was going to be an explainer video for why the Y is so popular. I’m sure there are plenty of other vids out there explaining why the Y sucks
Amazing cat
🐱
No boot cover inside the car now?
Yes I also noticed that! Maybe because this is a media car 🤔
Model Y [NSW driveaway price, brand-new] $60,842 (RWD), $75,542 (AWD LR), $89,192 (AWD P)
Model 3 H [NSW driveaway price, brand-new] $59,792 (RWD), $70,292 (AWD LR), $87,092 (AWD P) {new price reductions for both M Y & M 3 H | mid May 2024}
Crazy prices at the moment … when will we see the floor??
@@LudicrousFeed quite a few AU based current Tesla Y & 3 owners are not happy about the constant price decreases lately though, oh well...
@@LudicrousFeed ⬇ 👇 🔽
Hi Tom, wondering if you or your viewers know if RWD and FWD BEV's are typically driven via one or both wheels?
Are you asking because you have an answer to your question or you’d like me to explain further?
@@LudicrousFeed If you could explain further that would be great as I'm looking to purchase an EV for my next car. In the regional area I live we are surrounded by dirt roads and though only travelling on them occasionally as we stick mainly to the main sealed roads, it can be tricky on the hilly dirt if a vehicle is one wheel drive. I know that nearly all ICE FWD are one wheel drive and many ICE RWD can add power to both wheels via a limited slip differential, but have no idea with BEV's. Obvioulsy I could choose an AWD BEV but at this stage are out of our budget.
@@stuartkenyon1052 Ok I’ll see what info I can dig up … it’s quite a technical question!
@@LudicrousFeed No worries, thought it might be a bit tricky. Your viewers might be able to help, or a good topic for "The Driven" as an EV Explainer article.
@@stuartkenyon1052 excellent question, never thought of that if out of all four wheels only 1 or 2 work-hard when its RWD/FWD
Agree with all your comments. They are a bit like Steve Waugh. He could bat, bowl and field. Was one of the most popular cricketers of the era.
@Rabs73 - more like Arjuna Ranatunga?
Steve Waugh: great all rounder, great captain 🏏
@@LudicrousFeed his twin bro Junior bit of a stand off’ish grumpy dude in-person
I almost purchased new Model 3, test drove it etc... But after doing bit of research decided not to proceed due to bad depreciation... Plus I like driving and the whole self driving is a bit dystopian :)
Would be interesting to see how it compares to the depreciation of a similarly priced ICE car
1:04 ok time to fess up, who were the 1-2 people that were the Model-Y when you went to Normanhurst Boys High / James Ruse High / Epping Boys High 😁 time to name names (..maybe)
With such good schools like these there’s usually more than 1-2 of these bright students … 🤓
@@LudicrousFeed i went all full six years of high school in country NSW and had about 125 students of same age. there were 2 absolute superstars (D.S. and B.W.) - DS went to UNSW CompSci and pretty sure was in same batch as the two lads who setup Atlassian & has worked at some top 5 current tech companies in world. BW is currently based in Sydney near Mosman area and did real well in his Psychology degree & work field. in hindsight i should have appreciated them more and been more respectful of their utter raw talent and should have offered to help them more, but when a teenager you sometimes dont think/act properly you-know 😁
I was never a Model Y, but I did go to Normanhurst in the 1960’s 😅. (..and love my 2020 Model 3!)
How much in Australia Tesla y RWD price
$60,900 MSRP before onroads
I dont know if people are aware With autopilot its really only designed to keep you within lanes it cannot go around traffic like FSD or stop at traffic lights it has limitations
Correct, that’s why I made sure that point was clear during my drive 👍
I appreciate what Tesla has done for the industry as a whole but for me personally I find their looks which I realise is subjective that they all look identical to each other just stretched or squished that excludes the CT. Too minimalist as well on the interior even my teens didn't like the interior. I like a handle to open the glove box and key buttons for key features like fan control volume control turn on recirculation as a few examples. Personally though I don't mind what someone drives for a car as long as it's an EV is the main thing. My next EV for example is the 2024 Kona EV Premium trim because it has the features I want.
Yup and all valid reasons why someone may not choose to buy a Tesla 👍
Quicksilver looks sooooooooooooooo good
🤩
It's the last tesla to be suitable to the average buyer who isn't going to relearn how to cope without less basic driving comtrols. It's now a fading club car that hasn't YET been decluttered. Be quick for the last of the broadly acceptable Teslas.
Get ‘em while stalks last? 😜
Currently, for me, the only advantage Tesla has left is the Super Charge network (the trip planner is a nice bonus but i can live without it), and once thats opened up to all well i can't see me getting a Tesla. Im definitely not against Tesla as Im aware they are a solid option but the silly cost cutting for minimalistic design is a bit much for me. All the self driving features don't interest me at all as I'd rather a 3star safety car without all that at a reduced price, this goes for all manufacturers, just give me radar cruise control.
The M.Y does look nice though, but I'm personally after a sedan so for me they are competing with BYD & the Kia/Hyundai's.
Yes true about the Tesla’s Supercharger advantage being slowly degraded … plus I suppose there’s always doubt that we’ll get the full FSD features in Aus 🤔
Tesla needs to release the RWD long range model Y in Australia. It is cheaper than the AWD long range version and has 16% longer range.
It is an obvious choice if you do not need AWD.
Agreed and that’s why the RWD Long Range BYD Seal is good value too 👍
@@LudicrousFeed while the Seal Long Range has LFPs, Tesla RWD LR will have an NMC. Not so happy with that.
@@LudicrousFeed hi Tom, did you notice any improvements to autopilot coming from HW3 to this HW4 camera update? The HW3 Model Y is discounted by $2k in QLD and I am not sure if I should jump on that for a bit of saving. 😅
There’s no improvements to AP from HW3 to HW4 in Australia except for higher resolution side repeater and rear cameras
Great homage to a car that is obviously near to your heart. I don't know if it is true, but it feels like Chinese manufactured Tesla's have better quality control than the North American versions?
I hear you when you say judge the car not the CEO - unfortunately Musk's hate speech will always drive people away from the brand - it is a pity as the company has been at the forefront of a lot of innovation.
Thanks for all the work you do on the channel 😀
Pleasure! Yes the Shanghai cars are built very well 👍
The best system for avoiding a speeding ticket is sticking to the speed limit!
Yes that’s where the adaptive cruise control comes in handy
I bought 2 model Y’s in 2023.
P & RWD
🏆
I think the steering wheel degradation is people who use sanitizer and touch the wheel.
Hmm plausible explanation I suppose
Couple more years and I will trade my M3LR for a new MYP in Quicksilver with the white interior. Counting down the days.
By then maybe the new face-lifted Y will probably have arrived
It's the new Q5/Q7, used exclusively by uber drivers.
You know they’re good value when it’s being used for Uber 😆
Love the way people say they wouldn’t buy a Tesla because of Elon Musk, don’t think anyone gives a shit about Tim Cook before they buy an iPhone.

Understandably - if you are at the receiving end.

Huh? I personally have no problem with giving my info when I sign up to things. I’m just making viewers aware of Tesla’s privacy policy etc
Model y is hell ugly. I want a Highland 3 Performance in Quicksilver. But not available

Depreciation monster. Good luck selling it in 3 years
On the flip side there are some good deals going round for used Teslas 😁
Great deals if buying 2nd hand. Agreed though, thw depreciation is insane. Owning one and trying to sell currently to buy a newer Tesla is ridiculously difficult.
Buy one if you are prepared to die in it.
This is why we lease! 😂

Tesla is the king of " super quick depreciation" car brand. It's so heartbreaking of buying such rubbish........
Price dropped again today! (21 May 2024)
@LudicrousFeed by promoting ev to people to buy is a sin. A Model Y dropped 20k within 12 months!
It's like telling people to go to the casino.
I am believed 100%, ev is a scamm. Only winners is elon and it's shareholders
@@timthompson3212 or have the mentality that I have, for last 15 years I always treat it as thought the brand new car I purchase is only worth $1 the next day after purchase. That way I am not attached to it, nor am I anxious/stressed-out about the infamous 'resale-value' 3/4/5 years-on from the date I bought it. And the non-attachment also helps me give the car away to a nurse or a student or a struggling single mum/dad for a $1 while the car is still in excellent condition & no mechanical issues so it really helps them out having that car in their life
Do u buy car for ur personal use or reselling? Why do u care if the price increase or decrease once u bought it? All u have to think of is whether it is serving the purpose of u bought or not.
@@RajendraPN it depends on people's mindset - some see their car as an asset (that is re-sellable) and they want to re-coup as much as possible, and other see it as a travel tool that maybe they can sell for $x and what ever money they get is a bonus
