Pretty spot on review! Removing the parking sensors is plain stupid although I do not miss the pinball sounds while going through a drive thru. Those get super annoying as the sensors were always way too sensitive on my Model 3. They also seemed to be part of the problem with phantom braking when I got it. Like a sensor would think something was there when it wasn’t. You forgot to mention heated windshield wipers! These should be standard on ALL cars simply as a safety feature. The low rumble hurts my ears. I find it beyond annoying and something Tesla can absolutely find and fix. Other than that, this car is so much better than my 2019 Model 3 and I’m glad with the switch.
Totally agree with how auto-pilot accelerates so fast and waits until the very last second to brake in stop-and-go traffic. I was so scared that the car would not stop on time, so I ended up tapping on the brake by myself and thus disabled auto-pilot. I wish the car would slow down and stop more gradually.
I was one of the suckers who bought the model Y in December. Leaving that debacle aside, it's incredulous why Musk would remove the proximity sensors, particularly on the front where there isn't a camera - a week after I bought the car I allowed my friend to drive the vehicle to a movie - she drove into a multistory and while parking inched closer to the wall - I realized, as a Toyota driver, she was waiting to hear a PS alarm. I shouted but too late, she hit the wall and scratched the front. It is beyond stupid to remove these sensors, and I fail to see how they can be reinstated over the air sometime in the future as the feature requires hardware. Even at the rear, sensors should be installed. I'm shocked, it appears to be what we call in the UK, 'A Brain Fart.' A $67,000 car without sensors - madness!
@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 weird how only Tesla users have issues with radar and USS that work so well on other brands…weird Also maybe wait to congratulate Tesla for removing the sensors until AFTER they’ve added the substitute. Right now these cars have no parking aids. No vision sensors nor USS. Common sense would dictate if you’re going to remove the sensors, do it after you have your replacement feature live. Right now it’s been 4 months that there’s nothing at all. Anybody would take a semi-working sensor over no sensor whatsoever. Smart Summon, Summon, and Autopark literally do not even work right now on these current vehicles because there is no replacement feature. There is nothing at all to congratulate Tesla on for doing this prior to going live on whatever the substitute would be.
@@brads1545 it’s been 4 months now that the vision sensors have supposed to have been coming “soon”. Could easily see this dragging out 3 months. Knowing Tesla, “never” is also a possibility.
Sorry to hear your story. There is a reason MB could get level 3 while Tesla is stuck with its ever getting worse and worse phantom brake hell ‘ FSD’ after all those years. In fact tesla could not even self park properly it is becoming a joke now😂
I was very surprised by the Tesla in car audio speakers / subwoofer. I enjoy making my own subs and setting up audio equipment so when I listened to it for the first time, I was shocked by how good it was.
Been watching your vids for many months now. As of 2 weeks ago, I am now a proud owner of a Model Y and loving it...even in the cold MN winter temps! 🥶
I did Tesla model Y test driving in last two weeks. As a 10 year owner of BMW xDrive30i, I was excited to do the test drive and I wanted to buy one. The first test drive is on MYL with 20” wheels, using Chill mode, and braking mode as “Roll”. I felt a little bit dizzy (from bumpy suspension?) after test driving. The road noise (from other car and wind) was not pleasant. The regeneration braking did not make it smooth. My wife also felt uncomfortable. She said her head felt some uneasy pressure from car vibration and bumpy motion. Then I tested Mode 3 also, it felt much better. I thought maybe I was not familiar with driving MY initially or 19” wheels will make it better. So I called Tesla to find a location to test MYL with 19” wheels. This time it was better, with all above feelings to lesser degree. I also tested MYP with 20” wheels. It felt better than MYL, still not to the degree that I would call it good driving experience. One week later I tested driving MYL with 20” wheels again, with my wife. By then I was relatively familiar with MY and did not make much jerky motions. Both of us felt it was better than the first time, but still a little bit unpleasant. We kind of concluded that it came from the car not all from my driving since when I was driving on the high way, there was not much handling I need to do. After test driving we immediately drove our own 2008 Lexus IS350, and it felt better than MY. We were totally surprised with our experience, considering so many glorious reviews and so many people buy it as family car. Now we are planning test drive other SUVs.
I got an Austin build Model Y in August 2022. Immediately took a 1400 mile road trip with no issues whatever. Car was packed with luggage and I did not notice the rumble. When I emptied the car, not only did I hear a rumble, but also a boominess in the cabin that was very uncomfortable. I tried several remedies that were offered on the Tesla Owners Club, and some of my own, with little impact. Long story short - insert a lubricated 5/16" OD PVC tubing into the whole length of the rear hatch gasket to stiffen it up. Investment - about $20. Boominess totally gone. Rumble still noticeable on some road surfaces, but not too bad and easily drowned out by music at normal listening levels. 10,000 miles on the car now and loving it.
I use voice commands for most things I need to do while driving. Wipers, lights climate control. “Wipers auto” wipers manual, wiper speed 1 ,2 etc. I’m hot, my hands are cold etc, my bum is cold. They all work great.
The grab handles were not removed for esthetics. They were removed for side airbags. Also, some people have fixed the rumble/boomyness by beefing up the rear hatch seal with 3/8" vinyl tubing. I haven't tried it because I don't have this problem in my 2021 Model Y.
I wish they'd make a more practical "suv". The headroom in the back with that thick bar is bad, and the rear visibility is absolutely terrible. A squarer back with roof rails would be a welcome variant.
Great summary Ryan, thanks! I have found the same issue with using AP on congested roads.This illustrates one of the obstacles to implementing a fully autonomous vehicles IMO. These systems are adaptive but not predictive. You and I can look at our environment and what’s happening. Our minds can also predict what will happen in the future based on the scene in front of us and our human intuition of how other humans will behave (mind reading). AP systems can only respond to the present situation in the moment. So you will accelerate slowly knowing that the car in front is only able to move a short distance, whereas the AP system will plant the gas pedal and then need to brake hard. FSD zealots vastly underestimate the complexity of driving a car and the power of the human mind to predict future events. Understandable, since as humans we find driving to be a “mindless” activity. We can do it, whilst listening to music or holding a conversation with our passengers. Clever aren’t we? 😉
Automotive sensors have to be able to detect near and distant. The vehicle needs the sensors in front, in the rear and on each side. That is just to sense what is around you. The technology has to be improved upon. Sensors do not enable a vehicle to drive alone. They can assist the driver to protect the driver. There are many existing technologies that can work together to help the safety of driver and passengers. With time, these technologies can continue to improve. For a very good reason, I don't understand camera vision. I find it impossible for someone to hook up a camera to a computer and allow that computer to see. Human beings can see and use our judgement. If someone tells me that they can make a car stay in the same lane or change lanes, I also believe that is impossible. Technology is great but it has it's limitations. You can only do so much. If you agree or disagree I understand.
@@sidoliveira3246 Elon's reason was apparently because "a human can do it, so then so can a computer". I find this dumb to say the least? Make a computer only be able to only see like a human and.. it will drive like a human. Humans that cause accidents roughly 800 times per day. And you're right by saying a computer can only do so much. The AI can hardly tell what a car's brake lights mean, much less understand it quickly and be able to react to it. I've heard rumors Tesla may be switching back to radar, hopefully for the best.
@@robblly8112 I understand that Elon and his team are trying to do something that will help mankind. They want to develop a system that will protect human beings when they are traveling in a vehicle. When I think about AI it means artificial intelligence. Someone told me that the term artificial intelligence was something that people created during the birth of the computer age. People thought that eventually computers would be able to think like human beings. Those people did not have a technical background. Today's computers are very impressive. Mini computers and supercomputers and everything in between. In my opinion sensors are key. I believe with time that GPS technology will improve and become helpful. I am familiar with radar but I think about the air when I think of that technology. I like cameras and believe that they can assist you see on a monitor what is in front, side, and back of you. Good computer systems can be installed in vehicles to allow all electronic devices to help the driver drive and navigate the vehicle. Using every single technology that exists in order to protect people is the goal.
I wondered why when he said there is only one change and that’s the lack of USS. Tesla added the ‘comfort suspension’ in 2023 so that’s a BIG change from what I’ve heard. 👍🏻
Ryan as fellow drummer you will appreciate my using our bass drum blanket technique to dampen sound in our Model Y's by putting a king size pillow under the rear cargo floor board closest to rear seats (shallow space worthless anyway) plus another pillow in bottom of under floor rear storage area. Both dampen sound coming from rear wheel wells just like a dampened bass drum....Pillows are lightweight, cheap, install in seconds, and can be used as cargo pads while moving large objects, and they work!
In cars with radar there used to be early warning when 2 cars in front brake hard and Tesla warns you before the accident happens. Supposedly bouncing radar underneath the cars? Did that feature go away because radar is no longer available?
Another excellent video. Thanks for your time and effort, greatly appreciated! I've got two issues that are bugging me. Maybe you've got some insights. 1) When the cameras are recording an "incident" the doors won't open. When I get my phone out and get ready to open the app, the doors unlock. It knows my phone, why doesn't it let me in my car. I live near Seattle, when it's raining and I've got a couple of grocery bags in my arms, it's really annoying to have to fish out my phone. 2) The frunk is great, but it's hard plastic. I'm a photographer and it would be great to be able to put stuff in it. But if I take a hard turn, my gear might crash into the hard plastic and be damaged (yes, I can only put well protected camera bags into frunk, but that almost defeats the purpose). I've spent a few hours looking for solutions. There are lots of cushy bottoms for the frunk, but I've only found one that has soft sides. The trunk isn't padded, but had "carpet" on the sides. Thanks for listening.
Tesla model Y long range 2023 owner here. I very much like the technology and the energy savings due to the fact that I produce an abundance of extra solar on my roof daily. I am a tech guy so this type of technology with efficiency is important to me. There are a couple of things that I find just unacceptable. The first being the fact that the headrest does not adjust. I find myself constantly hitting the back of my head on the headrest. Next is the ride quality which it best sucks, the car on rough or uneven roads porpoises front to back making the headrest issue even worse. I feel like i am in a go cart or a golf cart with no suspension. I also own a Ford Explorer and a Subaru outback both rides are exponentially superior. Next would be the lack of back up sensors and curb sensors to me this is basics when it comes to what is being called a luxury car. As you covered the phantom braking is something that needs to be addressed. Ambient lighting at night would also increase aesthetic value. As far as build quality goes my model Y was made in Austin. This is a new factory. There are many fit issues that need to be fixed. This is also unacceptable. The reliance on plastic on many of the finishes add to a cheap looking product.
For the Americans who doesnt live in extreme cold winters, the model Y rn is literally a no brainer, as when coupled with the 7500 dollar tax credit, the Y is literally more than 12k cheaper than a simillarly specced bmw x3, which doesnt even have autopilot at all, not to mention the Y is way cheaper to run, no dealer bullcrap and actually faster while being more practical.
Fun tip for the windshield wipers, you can actually use voice command for them. Much easier than using the button and then picking the speed on the screen imo.
It's shocking how many drives of a Tesla didn't even bother to go read the full list of audio commands available. And it constantly grows. That's how stupid most of them are.
WARNING on the lack of a functioning back up camera on all 2023 Model Ys. How could they not release software at the same time that they change the location of the sensors? ! I just finished putting 8,000 miles in two months on 2022 Model Y’s, and probably went to 75 T superchargers. The precision of the back up camera as well as the thoughtful laying out of curbs to prevent backing into anything was what I expected when I test drove the 2023Y performance. When I backed the vehicle back into a parking space which didn’t have any curb and no definition of three dimensional depth, I was fully expecting the screen to show distance which it did not. The result was I hit the wall at 1 mile an hour. Now Tesla wants $2400 to fix the damages. Trusting Tesla will come to his senses, and graciously write off the damages, while they scramble to rectify this potentially dangerous (and expensive) miscue. Robert
I pick up my performance model in a few hours. I wanted it even though the tax credit didn’t apply when I ordered it. Definitely a nice surprise now that it qualifies.🎉🎉
New front instrument and dedicated ac music tactile buttons to even tempt me along with a spare tire option. A small gas range extender is a must that would double sales instantly.
I'm honestly surprised no one has come up with a bolt on nose kit for this car. It's not homely mind you, but I would love to see a better looking front end even if it gives up a couple of hundredths of .cd. The S is gorgeous - one of the reasons I bought one. My wife kind of would like a Y, but she doesn't like the look of it either.
I have a very similar rattle. Mine is the front passenger seat. Just dropped it off at the shop. Will see what they say tomorrow. They fixed it once already but it’s back.
About Phantom Braking: Ive noticed this on my Model 3. It occurs when there is a speed limit for the offramp sign. The car assumes this is the highway speed and brakes without warning.
How about blind spot lane change warning? It’s still “coming” but meanwhile my 25k Mazda is safer to change lanes than my Model Y. Ridiculous. This feature has been missing for at least 6 months now.
Test drove a Y last month and agree that the rumble is very annoying and a deal breaker for me. I asked the sales rep and she said they decided not to include the cabin noise canceling system in the Y. One question, Y not?
Weird thought here.. i had a '22 that was always phantom braking.. now have '23 and so far zero phantom braking 2k miles into it. Im starting to wonder if the parking sensors could have been causing phantom braking? I don't think tesla uses it while on Autopilot but then i remembered it does.. when you pass a car you can see the proximity graphics. yeah i do miss the parking sensors while parking etc but love that i havent gotten any phantom braking at all. Hopefully they'll release software update that will measure distance my tire rotation for parking without sensors
I purchased my Tesla model three performance October 2021 I am a little salty that I purchased it for 56k..plus 1k for grey paint but also got 2.5% financing so perhaps save a few grand with the low interest…
Tesla did not quote 316 miles of range. The EPA did. Look at the title of the column you are referencing. Everyone makes the mistake of saying Tesla (or any other manufacturer) claimed X miles of range or MPG.
Absolutely a great video. Very informative, not dragging out items and talking fast. You don’t get bored. I’m borderline saying he is biased towards Tesla, but I know how great the Tesla’s are and I think he is just being honest. Perhaps I’m biased towards Tesla? I think Model Y will be the best car in the world 2023 ;)
Has echoeyness been reduced in the cabin? Some earlier models got criticism for having poor sound isolation, which was especially noticable with conversations in the vehicle.
I just bought a 2024 Model Y 3 weeks ago but can only charge up 303 miles in full 100% charge. Haven't heard back from Tesla about this. Do you know if this might be a problem with the battery...
Good luck fixing that rattle. I have it in my passenger door on my Model 3. Same exact sound and they have no clue how to fix it. It’s my only main flaw with this car.
Please do an update video to clear up your mistake about the wipers. You CAN use voice commands! Too many people are spreading FUD about the lack of voice commands for wipers. Yes, auto wipers are horrible but you can definitely control them with your voice.
I just bought a Model Y--the cheapest version. I'm not so sure about the comments comparing it to a luxury car. The car next to it in the garage is a Lexus 460. That's a luxury SUV. However, i cannot buy a 2023 GX460 for close to the price of the Tesla. When I was cross shopping, a RAV 4 Prime (+ dealer markup) cost more than the MY I purchased--way more if you take into account the $7500 rebate. The median cost for a Ford (Ford!) is now over $50,000. An AWD Ionic/EV6 should be competitive with a Model Y but when I shopped them the Korean cars were way more expensive. Also a comment about the late braking: Do you have the driver preferences set for "sport" or "chill"? I'm guessing the behaviour is partly due to you telling the car to drive aggressively.
We took a MY test drive this past weekend. I have one on order with delivery projected for sometime in March, five seat seat LR in blue with black interior. I'm really stoked about the price drop. With the incentive I'm saving more than $20k over last year's price. It's definitely a fun car to drive. A one hour test drive was not enough to get the hang of all the systems but I didn't expect it to be. The rear visibility is terrible and I do hope there's some kind of camera replacement for the ultrasonic sensor delete. I loved the white interior but have opted for black due to cleanliness concerns. Build quality seemed okay but I would have hoped for something better at that price range. I didn't notice the rear rumble you speak of but the ride was great and the model I drove had the 20 inch wheels.
You will love it! I just got mine on Friday, and I'm blown away. I didn't hear anything from the back during our 350mi drive home from the delivery center, but the cargo cover was in place, and trunk full of stuff from IKEA. I guess drive around with pillows. 🤣
Here are a few basic questions not covered in a love fest review: Is it true Tesla has you sign a waiver at purchase that you will not sue them in open court? How much more costly is the auto insurance and does the giga press part approach for very large parts raise or lower the repair cost? What are the battery health and performance issues in a place with very high summer temps like Phoenix? Is the vehicle basically a throw away model after 8 years because of the battery? (Long life Toyota owners want to know.)
Can you add a “Rain mode”? When activated the driver profile will automatically change the Acceleration mode to “Chill”, or a “user configurable setting” when vision identifies wet conditions and/or activates automatic wipers. Please help me get this request noticed for a possibility of Tesla implementing my suggestion.
New owner here - it seems like super charging takes much longer than the 15-25 minutes everybody else keeps saying. Wonder if I’m doing something wrong
You can set the left stock too long hold press and initiate the wipers. Then you can scroll up or down for the speed with the tap and you will be good to go. Hope this helps.
Thanks Ryan. I do like the Tesla nav system especially with the latest changes. One feature is missing that I feel we really need is Waze notifications for Police marked ahead by other users. We know Tesla is not a fan of apple car play, but Waze is a google product. Any idea if this has been requested? How do we request this?
But automatically it will slow down hour vehicle when car finds police vehicle ( when lights on ) so atleast it will find if the cop vehicle is front side of you r vehicle 😊
We got our MYP in Mar 2022 and already put 18k miles on it. I agree with your comments about the acceleration and braking on autopilot when in traffic. Autopilot works so nicely otherwise and I use it as often as is practical, but my wife asks me to turn it off when she's in the passenger seat while we're in traffic because it makes her car sick with how quickly it accelerates and brakes. I wish they added configuration options for this, much like you can set autopilot following distance. Definitely agree that the frunk should be powered, but we're used to it being manual at this point. I also wish the car had ventilated seats. The interior gets pretty warm in SoCal summer time!
Here’s hoping you mentioning this suggestion will get the attention from Tesla - when trunk is set to open to limited height in garage, it would be nice to have the trunk open fully when not at home in the garage. Just like auto lock can be deactivated when parked in home garage. Keep up the great work
I can kind of agree the cooling seats would be a great feature with a car this price, but at the same token are you able to turn on the car from wherever it is you find yourself in so that the interior cabin cools down? I guess I’m asking would that help cool down the seats as well?
Picking up a 2023 Y tomorrow. One down side for me, and it's there with the 3 as well, is that I need glasses to have clear distance vision. The tradeoff is at 5' or so, things start to get blurry. The minutiae of the big screen is pretty much unreadable to me. I can make out the traffic silhouettes, and other larger images on the left 1/3. May have to get some sort of bi-focals, I guess.
Great review. I’m not a fan of the plastic “hubcaps”. They look like plastic “hubcaps”. I do wish they would add a sound system upgrade. Sound quality is just ok. Fit and finish and quality materials is in need of improvement. The EV tech is incredible, I can almost overlook the shortcomings. Almost.
I haven’t tested this but it would be smart if FSD took its driving style from the ‘chill mode’ setting… if you have chill ‘ON’, FSD drives more chill and if you don’t then FSD doesn’t…
Physical controls can be made for items on screen I have seen recently and you just need to assign the stick on button then save it and it works by blue tooth! What about a heads up display??
I am not a Tesla owner but have been interested in buying one, I have enjoyed your videos. I really don't understand how this vehicle is considered a luxery vehicle, as you state. Although there are many compelling reasons to own a Telsa Model Y, I certainly don't think luxury is one of those reasons. I recently pruchase a Grand Cherokee 4xe Summit Reserve. Two reasons, electrification and comfort. When you look at this vehicle, there is no question that luxury was considered in the design and features. I stand firm that the Model Y and 3 are very utility based designs. Low cost of ownership and reliability would be great reasons to own the Model Y.
Especially considering the egregious act of removing the parking sensors without replacing them. They could have AT LEAST sent out an update with the 360 view in the meantime, since the hardware is there already, it really should not be that hard. This as a quick supplement while Tesla vision version of parking sensors are being worked on.
Elon announced on Oct 3, 2020: „Vector-space bird’s eye view coming with FSD“. So it’s probably coming any day now LOL. And it might require you to buy FSD LOL. The missing parking sensors is 80% of why I would never buy a Tesla now, the rest is 10% the mental state of the CEO and 10% other deficiencies (no HUD, annoying windscreen wiper AI, etc).
did you see about the guy whose parking proximity alerts still worked fine while the car didn't have the bumper installed (with the sensors). The implication being that regardless of whether you have them or not you are already using just vision.
@@SLPCaires my 2023 model 3, delivered end of October last year has no kind of parking alerts, as do practically everyone who has a 2023 model. What you speak of is either fake, or some one off fluke or possibly a tester vehicle for vision at best. The masses who have these vehicles don't have parking sensors of any kind, all we have is collision avoidance for at driving speed which I have noticed is flaky when lighting conditions are bad, which is laughable for a vehicle that cost as much as it does.
Ryan, very amazing review. As a 2022 model Y owner (with rough suspension) I missed the grab handles, wondered why the roof doesn’t have a built in shade and could not understand why they were dropping sensors in the bumpers. Didn’t Tesla announce they were going to start using the sensors again along with higher speed proceeding?
Have had radar on all my cars. I would never use the radar for proximity that wasn’t a pillow. Just a suggestion use the backup camera and back into the spot. Or get out and take a look. You know the update is coming that should be a solution.
The Model Y only has a 330 mile range if you’re driving downhill with a tail wind, and possibly off a cliff. Luckily, it has a stellar crash rating. 😂 EPA marketing fiction aside, it’s still an amazing car.
Yes, overhead view should be available via software update. Would also like to see the following (large font mode for those of us that need reading glasses, ability to drag route to a different road/route, fix android text ... many times I get a text and Tesla thinks it's an old text from years ago).
I have a 2021 3SR+ and took delivery of a YLR on Friday. Aside from a some small paint scratches the fit & finish was excellent. I did get the Induction Wheels option and find the fide and handling better than my 3 - especially the turning radius. The whole USS vs Vision really sucks! We have come to really rely on USS on my 3 and not having USS on the Y is poor decision (along with the stupid fake wood grain trim LOL).
Things I've fed back regularly with no response or changes. 1. Lights on handles: new passengers in the dark have no clue how to open the doors, on dark paint job, handle invisible! 2. Autowipe sensor is disgraceful. it seems bipolar. Very slow when its pouring and going mad fast when there is no rain. In winter when using cruise control, the autowipe is compulsory on and is plain unsafe. Scenario- Winter - salt smear on screen. wash windscreen with quick screenwash, 2 -3 wipes should be enough, but auto goes for 10-20 - doing nothing but smudge more salt spray all over the screen. have no choice but to turn off cruise control and turn off auto wipe. 3. Screen Font size: Many of us need reading glasses that are not suitable for driving (seeing into the distance) Easily solved by being able to increase the size of the font slightly on the screen, so message & info are clearly legible.
I had a Volvo xc90 hire car with pro pilot, i found that system also accelerated quite hard up to the car in front if say the current car in front pulled out and left a gap... ?? relax it not a race
Great review! Do you have experience with the acceleration upgrade for the long range version? How does it compare to the performance? Does it reduce the reach?
I have the same metal rattle in the driver side door but I have a 2022 model 3. I did take it in to Tesla who couldn’t find/fix it. I’m really interested if you get it fixed!
Phantom breaking - I was on a highway last week and there was a car off to the side of the road with the hazards flashing. The car slowed down thinking it was emergency vehicles and a notification popped up stating so. Then after we passed the car on the side of the road the auto pilot went back to normal speed
I agree thats what i dont like about my civic but they updated on the refresh model. Def makes it much safer. Dont know why auto manufactureres do that
Super happy with my Y LR. But I totally agree on the windshield wiper. Super annoying. Must be buried really deep somewhere in the product backlog. Especially since since the manual override button use would be perfect for capturing an image for training
Interesting. I don’t own a Tesla, but I’ve rented a model Y three times on Turo. Though I don’t own a Tesla, I find it interesting that I know how to use the voice commands and have used them to control many of the car’s functions, while renting the cars. I guess I must watch more videos than owners do.
@@anthonyscott5134 agreed, voice commands are a good way to get to stuff buried in the UI. E.g. I use it for the glove box. But I don’t get your point re the wipers. Pressing the left stock button is 1 press. How are you faster with voice commands? On the other hand I might have issues with counting single digits and need advice from a non-Tesla owner 😂 Seriously, if there is any clever short-cut via voice, let me know
guys, read my comment. It is about Tesla having stated the goal to run the auto wiper functionality via machine learning and obviously not working hard on it, as it is as bad as all the others out there. Getting stuck on having a workaround via voice command… totally besides the point
@@nikos6220 yeah they didn’t get what you were saying. Confusing backlog with menu lol. I agree I can’t believe they haven’t fixed/improved the auto wipers but also agree hitting the end of stalk button works. Let’s not bring up the auto high beams, yikes.
I agree with how the auto-pilot accelerates too fast at times and waits too long to brake in stop-and-go traffic. I took control a bunch of times. I find the car in the previous update stayed in the lane better, now if is either Right or Left and then back to the middle. Not by much, but usually just the opposite of what I would do. Left turns to seem better than right. Also, a little scary when it stops and then thinks it should turn in front of oncoming traffic (left turn). I find that EAP on the highway is better than FSD, it stays in the HOV lane and changes lanes quicker when I signal. FSD is still cool, but glad I didn't buy and can rent it by the month, think Feb is my last month for a while. 360 view would be great. Agree he shouldn't have killed USS until Vision worked. Phantom Braking isn't too bad, just weird that sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't in the same place. Does anyone else with FSD notice that it changes lanes in the intersection, how could they miss that is illegal? Although I can get items from my phone, XM, etc. I would like to see the app store. I like how quiet the car is and I find the ride smooth. The touch screen is quick and works great. So far the AC works well, but we are not at S FL summer yet. I agree cooling seating would be nice. I find the front dual pane windows great and the back single pane sound like could break when you close the doors. Sentry mode is great just in case. Lots of room in the car.
Your 2020 had 20"wheels. That was the main reason for the harshness. A '22 Y with 20" wheels doesn't feel much different. The "comfort suspension" on the '23 is where there's a noticeable difference. Still not as comfortable as having the 19" wheels. Musk recommended 39 psi even though that's lower than the door sticker recommendation.
I was just watching a video today where the BMW didn't come with auto pilot and he said why buy it. I agree, I believe FSD will not be a money maker in the future. Will you pay more for delay wipers or just not buy the car? Most people will say give me FSD if you want but I'm not paying for it. "In fact it scares me."
Friend of Mine just got his model Y, at the same time I received my model 3 (both 2022) makes me want to trade my model 3 for the Y lol. that extra space looks real nice and since I am somewhat tall, the Y I can enter easier lol. however I really like my model 3. I had to rewatch all of the dos and don'ts from your Channel (shared it with my wife as well) since this is the first Tesla we have. very happy with it.
Thank you for this one and all the other great reviews you do. One thing you (and others) seem to never address (or I might have missed it): effect of the sun roof in hot climates. You seem to live in California and I live in a similar climate. One would think that sun roof might be a problem there. Is it? Also, I understand that the 2023 models 3 and Y are equipped with matrix LED headlights. I have a VW with those and to me it's fantastic! It will dynamically remove, almost completely, the light from the cars that come from the opposite direction while at the same time continuing to use the super bright light on everything else. How is it on Teslas? Perhaps a topic for another video?
Any thoughts? I have a 2022 model y LR. Oct delivery. I feel like my ultra sonic parking sensors still work. When I park I still see distance in inches to objects. Is this the same for everyone else? I keep seeing videos saying an update stoped them from working. But I’m fully updated and they still work.
Great Video Ryan, my Chinese SRMY appears to be well built, no rattles or other issues after 5k km. I have a minor annoyance that the indicators won't go directly from R to L without an intermediate cancel. This would be very useful for roundabouts. We have a lot of them in Australia. How do you get on with the white fascia reflecting in the door mirrors?

I’m going from a 2004 Civic (which I bought brand new) to a 2023 Model Y. So in comparison, I don’t think I’ll find any fault with it at all.
That’s what I’m thinking. Going from a 2004 Scion Xb to Model Y LR. 🙏
I'm going from 1999 corolla
Good to see so many old cars are still drivable
Lack of physical controls and less well put together?
@@thewatcherlollol Switched to a Model Y LR from a 1999 Toyota Camry with leaking oil. Model Y is very luxurious and quiet in comparison.
Pretty spot on review! Removing the parking sensors is plain stupid although I do not miss the pinball sounds while going through a drive thru. Those get super annoying as the sensors were always way too sensitive on my Model 3. They also seemed to be part of the problem with phantom braking when I got it. Like a sensor would think something was there when it wasn’t.
You forgot to mention heated windshield wipers! These should be standard on ALL cars simply as a safety feature.
The low rumble hurts my ears. I find it beyond annoying and something Tesla can absolutely find and fix.
Other than that, this car is so much better than my 2019 Model 3 and I’m glad with the switch.
Totally agree with how auto-pilot accelerates so fast and waits until the very last second to brake in stop-and-go traffic. I was so scared that the car would not stop on time, so I ended up tapping on the brake by myself and thus disabled auto-pilot. I wish the car would slow down and stop more gradually.
It did that a year ago, lol
And whole 2019 to mid 2022-ish
For the acceleration, turn your mode to chill and it will be much better.
@@MrGoogle87 o koi
I agree
I was one of the suckers who bought the model Y in December. Leaving that debacle aside, it's incredulous why Musk would remove the proximity sensors, particularly on the front where there isn't a camera - a week after I bought the car I allowed my friend to drive the vehicle to a movie - she drove into a multistory and while parking inched closer to the wall - I realized, as a Toyota driver, she was waiting to hear a PS alarm. I shouted but too late, she hit the wall and scratched the front. It is beyond stupid to remove these sensors, and I fail to see how they can be reinstated over the air sometime in the future as the feature requires hardware. Even at the rear, sensors should be installed. I'm shocked, it appears to be what we call in the UK, 'A Brain Fart.' A $67,000 car without sensors - madness!
In theory, this will be a non issue soon. If we’re still waiting for software updates, say, 3-6 months from now, sure, this has a lot more merit.
@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 weird how only Tesla users have issues with radar and USS that work so well on other brands…weird
Also maybe wait to congratulate Tesla for removing the sensors until AFTER they’ve added the substitute. Right now these cars have no parking aids. No vision sensors nor USS. Common sense would dictate if you’re going to remove the sensors, do it after you have your replacement feature live. Right now it’s been 4 months that there’s nothing at all. Anybody would take a semi-working sensor over no sensor whatsoever. Smart Summon, Summon, and Autopark literally do not even work right now on these current vehicles because there is no replacement feature. There is nothing at all to congratulate Tesla on for doing this prior to going live on whatever the substitute would be.
@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 it seems you poor soul has never seen a car with proper proximity sensor that’s why you are full of nonsensical bs.
@@brads1545 it’s been 4 months now that the vision sensors have supposed to have been coming “soon”. Could easily see this dragging out 3 months. Knowing Tesla, “never” is also a possibility.
Sorry to hear your story. There is a reason MB could get level 3 while Tesla is stuck with its ever getting worse and worse phantom brake hell ‘ FSD’ after all those years. In fact tesla could not even self park properly it is becoming a joke now😂
I was very surprised by the Tesla in car audio speakers / subwoofer. I enjoy making my own subs and setting up audio equipment so when I listened to it for the first time, I was shocked by how good it was.
Been watching your vids for many months now. As of 2 weeks ago, I am now a proud owner of a Model Y and loving it...even in the cold MN winter temps! 🥶
Long range, with base wheels is plenty sporty feeling and you get the added ride comfort. Good choice Ryan!
I did Tesla model Y test driving in last two weeks. As a 10 year owner of BMW xDrive30i, I was excited to do the test drive and I wanted to buy one. The first test drive is on MYL with 20” wheels, using Chill mode, and braking mode as “Roll”. I felt a little bit dizzy (from bumpy suspension?) after test driving. The road noise (from other car and wind) was not pleasant. The regeneration braking did not make it smooth. My wife also felt uncomfortable. She said her head felt some uneasy pressure from car vibration and bumpy motion. Then I tested Mode 3 also, it felt much better. I thought maybe I was not familiar with driving MY initially or 19” wheels will make it better. So I called Tesla to find a location to test MYL with 19” wheels. This time it was better, with all above feelings to lesser degree. I also tested MYP with 20” wheels. It felt better than MYL, still not to the degree that I would call it good driving experience. One week later I tested driving MYL with 20” wheels again, with my wife. By then I was relatively familiar with MY and did not make much jerky motions. Both of us felt it was better than the first time, but still a little bit unpleasant. We kind of concluded that it came from the car not all from my driving since when I was driving on the high way, there was not much handling I need to do. After test driving we immediately drove our own 2008 Lexus IS350, and it felt better than MY. We were totally surprised with our experience, considering so many glorious reviews and so many people buy it as family car. Now we are planning test drive other SUVs.
I got an Austin build Model Y in August 2022. Immediately took a 1400 mile road trip with no issues whatever. Car was packed with luggage and I did not notice the rumble. When I emptied the car, not only did I hear a rumble, but also a boominess in the cabin that was very uncomfortable. I tried several remedies that were offered on the Tesla Owners Club, and some of my own, with little impact. Long story short - insert a lubricated 5/16" OD PVC tubing into the whole length of the rear hatch gasket to stiffen it up. Investment - about $20. Boominess totally gone. Rumble still noticeable on some road surfaces, but not too bad and easily drowned out by music at normal listening levels. 10,000 miles on the car now and loving it.
I use voice commands for most things I need to do while driving. Wipers, lights climate control. “Wipers auto” wipers manual, wiper speed 1 ,2 etc. I’m hot, my hands are cold etc, my bum is cold. They all work great.
The grab handles were not removed for esthetics. They were removed for side airbags.
Also, some people have fixed the rumble/boomyness by beefing up the rear hatch seal with 3/8" vinyl tubing. I haven't tried it because I don't have this problem in my 2021 Model Y.
They were removed for esthetics and cost savings. There are plenty of vehicles available with grab handles and side airbags.
I wish they'd make a more practical "suv". The headroom in the back with that thick bar is bad, and the rear visibility is absolutely terrible. A squarer back with roof rails would be a welcome variant.
“Completely silent while accelerating and thats fun” … no premium audio… yet it’s amazing and one of the best…
Says it all …
Great summary Ryan, thanks! I have found the same issue with using AP on congested roads.This illustrates one of the obstacles to implementing a fully autonomous vehicles IMO. These systems are adaptive but not predictive. You and I can look at our environment and what’s happening. Our minds can also predict what will happen in the future based on the scene in front of us and our human intuition of how other humans will behave (mind reading). AP systems can only respond to the present situation in the moment. So you will accelerate slowly knowing that the car in front is only able to move a short distance, whereas the AP system will plant the gas pedal and then need to brake hard. FSD zealots vastly underestimate the complexity of driving a car and the power of the human mind to predict future events. Understandable, since as humans we find driving to be a “mindless” activity. We can do it, whilst listening to music or holding a conversation with our passengers. Clever aren’t we? 😉
Automotive sensors have to be able to detect near and distant. The vehicle needs the sensors in front, in the rear and on each side. That is just to sense what is around you. The technology has to be improved upon. Sensors do not enable a vehicle to drive alone. They can assist the driver to protect the driver. There are many existing technologies that can work together to help the safety of driver and passengers. With time, these technologies can continue to improve. For a very good reason, I don't understand camera vision. I find it impossible for someone to hook up a camera to a computer and allow that computer to see. Human beings can see and use our judgement. If someone tells me that they can make a car stay in the same lane or change lanes, I also believe that is impossible. Technology is great but it has it's limitations. You can only do so much. If you agree or disagree I understand.
That is why Tesla's software is learning from how humans drive not from a programmer's code.
@@sidoliveira3246 Elon's reason was apparently because "a human can do it, so then so can a computer". I find this dumb to say the least? Make a computer only be able to only see like a human and.. it will drive like a human. Humans that cause accidents roughly 800 times per day. And you're right by saying a computer can only do so much. The AI can hardly tell what a car's brake lights mean, much less understand it quickly and be able to react to it. I've heard rumors Tesla may be switching back to radar, hopefully for the best.
@@robblly8112 I understand that Elon and his team are trying to do something that will help mankind. They want to develop a system that will protect human beings when they are traveling in a vehicle. When I think about AI it means artificial intelligence. Someone told me that the term artificial intelligence was something that people created during the birth of the computer age. People thought that eventually computers would be able to think like human beings. Those people did not have a technical background. Today's computers are very impressive. Mini computers and supercomputers and everything in between. In my opinion sensors are key. I believe with time that GPS technology will improve and become helpful. I am familiar with radar but I think about the air when I think of that technology. I like cameras and believe that they can assist you see on a monitor what is in front, side, and back of you. Good computer systems can be installed in vehicles to allow all electronic devices to help the driver drive and navigate the vehicle. Using every single technology that exists in order to protect people is the goal.
For anyone wondering about the ride quality on the 2023 Model Y Performance, it is SMOOTH! Absolutely no complaints here
I wondered why when he said there is only one change and that’s the lack of USS. Tesla added the ‘comfort suspension’ in 2023 so that’s a BIG change from what I’ve heard. 👍🏻
I have to disagree still a pretty rough ride for me on my 23 MYP
It’s not smooth.
I drove a Model Y Performance and found it rather smooth. But I came from a BMW 3 series with M sports suspension. Everything is relative I guess.
When I first got my Model 3 it was so rough riding it was unusable. Tesla changed the shocks and springs for free. S/N 1400
Ryan as fellow drummer you will appreciate my using our bass drum blanket technique to dampen sound in our Model Y's by putting a king size pillow under the rear cargo floor board closest to rear seats (shallow space worthless anyway) plus another pillow in bottom of under floor rear storage area. Both dampen sound coming from rear wheel wells just like
a dampened bass drum....Pillows are lightweight, cheap, install in seconds, and can be used as cargo pads while moving large objects, and they work!
In cars with radar there used to be early warning when 2 cars in front brake hard and Tesla warns you before the accident happens. Supposedly bouncing radar underneath the cars? Did that feature go away because radar is no longer available?
Another excellent video. Thanks for your time and effort, greatly appreciated! I've got two issues that are bugging me. Maybe you've got some insights.
1) When the cameras are recording an "incident" the doors won't open. When I get my phone out and get ready to open the app, the doors unlock. It knows my phone, why doesn't it let me in my car. I live near Seattle, when it's raining and I've got a couple of grocery bags in my arms, it's really annoying to have to fish out my phone.
2) The frunk is great, but it's hard plastic. I'm a photographer and it would be great to be able to put stuff in it. But if I take a hard turn, my gear might crash into the hard plastic and be damaged (yes, I can only put well protected camera bags into frunk, but that almost defeats the purpose). I've spent a few hours looking for solutions. There are lots of cushy bottoms for the frunk, but I've only found one that has soft sides. The trunk isn't padded, but had "carpet" on the sides. Thanks for listening.
Tesla model Y long range 2023 owner here. I very much like the technology and the energy savings due to the fact that I produce an abundance of extra solar on my roof daily. I am a tech guy so this type of technology with efficiency is important to me. There are a couple of things that I find just unacceptable. The first being the fact that the headrest does not adjust. I find myself constantly hitting the back of my head on the headrest. Next is the ride quality which it best sucks, the car on rough or uneven roads porpoises front to back making the headrest issue even worse. I feel like i am in a go cart or a golf cart with no suspension. I also own a Ford Explorer and a Subaru outback both rides are exponentially superior. Next would be the lack of back up sensors and curb sensors to me this is basics when it comes to what is being called a luxury car. As you covered the phantom braking is something that needs to be addressed. Ambient lighting at night would also increase aesthetic value. As far as build quality goes my model Y was made in Austin. This is a new factory. There are many fit issues that need to be fixed. This is also unacceptable. The reliance on plastic on many of the finishes add to a cheap looking product.
For the Americans who doesnt live in extreme cold winters, the model Y rn is literally a no brainer, as when coupled with the 7500 dollar tax credit, the Y is literally more than 12k cheaper than a simillarly specced bmw x3, which doesnt even have autopilot at all, not to mention the Y is way cheaper to run, no dealer bullcrap and actually faster while being more practical.
Fun tip for the windshield wipers, you can actually use voice command for them. Much easier than using the button and then picking the speed on the screen imo.
That's not fun
@@Professor-Scientist how
Oh I didn’t even know that
When cruise or autopilot is active you have no choice but wipers set to auto.
It's shocking how many drives of a Tesla didn't even bother to go read the full list of audio commands available. And it constantly grows. That's how stupid most of them are.
WARNING on the lack of a functioning back up camera on all 2023 Model Ys. How could they not release software at the same time that they change the location of the sensors? !
I just finished putting 8,000 miles in two months on 2022 Model Y’s, and probably went to 75 T superchargers. The precision of the back up camera as well as the thoughtful laying out of curbs to prevent backing into anything was what I expected when I test drove the 2023Y performance. When I backed the vehicle back into a parking space which didn’t have any curb and no definition of three dimensional depth, I was fully expecting the screen to show distance which it did not. The result was I hit the wall at 1 mile an hour. Now Tesla wants $2400 to fix the damages. Trusting Tesla will come to his senses, and graciously write off the damages, while they scramble to rectify this potentially dangerous (and expensive) miscue.
Robert
Spot on, Ryan. Great work with all the Tesla educational videos recently. A nice service to prospective EV buyers out there.
I pick up my performance model in a few hours. I wanted it even though the tax credit didn’t apply when I ordered it. Definitely a nice surprise now that it qualifies.🎉🎉
If the Y had 360 view and adjustable roof window transparency I would upgrade from a 3.
New front instrument and dedicated ac music tactile buttons to even tempt me along with a spare tire option.
A small gas range extender is a must that would double sales instantly.
I'm honestly surprised no one has come up with a bolt on nose kit for this car. It's not homely mind you, but I would love to see a better looking front end even if it gives up a couple of hundredths of .cd. The S is gorgeous - one of the reasons I bought one. My wife kind of would like a Y, but she doesn't like the look of it either.
I have a very similar rattle. Mine is the front passenger seat. Just dropped it off at the shop. Will see what they say tomorrow. They fixed it once already but it’s back.
Not only “one of the safest”, but more to the point “THE Safest” as you pointed out per the study you presented.
About Phantom Braking: Ive noticed this on my Model 3. It occurs when there is a speed limit for the offramp sign. The car assumes this is the highway speed and brakes without warning.
Sounds dangerous
How about blind spot lane change warning? It’s still “coming” but meanwhile my 25k Mazda is safer to change lanes than my Model Y. Ridiculous. This feature has been missing for at least 6 months now.
i agree about the sounds system. was my biggest surprise in my model Y. It is really good. Great sound quality.
Test drove a Y last month and agree that the rumble is very annoying and a deal breaker for me. I asked the sales rep and she said they decided not to include the cabin noise canceling system in the Y. One question, Y not?
Weird thought here.. i had a '22 that was always phantom braking.. now have '23 and so far zero phantom braking 2k miles into it. Im starting to wonder if the parking sensors could have been causing phantom braking? I don't think tesla uses it while on Autopilot but then i remembered it does.. when you pass a car you can see the proximity graphics. yeah i do miss the parking sensors while parking etc but love that i havent gotten any phantom braking at all. Hopefully they'll release software update that will measure distance my tire rotation for parking without sensors
I purchased my Tesla model three performance October 2021 I am a little salty that I purchased it for 56k..plus 1k for grey paint but also got 2.5% financing so perhaps save a few grand with the low interest…
Tesla did not quote 316 miles of range. The EPA did. Look at the title of the column you are referencing. Everyone makes the mistake of saying Tesla (or any other manufacturer) claimed X miles of range or MPG.
Absolutely a great video. Very informative, not dragging out items and talking fast. You don’t get bored. I’m borderline saying he is biased towards Tesla, but I know how great the Tesla’s are and I think he is just being honest. Perhaps I’m biased towards Tesla? I think Model Y will be the best car in the world 2023 ;)
Has echoeyness been reduced in the cabin? Some earlier models got criticism for having poor sound isolation, which was especially noticable with conversations in the vehicle.
I just bought a 2024 Model Y 3 weeks ago but can only charge up 303 miles in full 100% charge. Haven't heard back from Tesla about this. Do you know if this might be a problem with the battery...
Good luck fixing that rattle. I have it in my passenger door on my Model 3. Same exact sound and they have no clue how to fix it. It’s my only main flaw with this car.
Please do an update video to clear up your mistake about the wipers. You CAN use voice commands! Too many people are spreading FUD about the lack of voice commands for wipers. Yes, auto wipers are horrible but you can definitely control them with your voice.
I just bought a Model Y--the cheapest version. I'm not so sure about the comments comparing it to a luxury car. The car next to it in the garage is a Lexus 460. That's a luxury SUV. However, i cannot buy a 2023 GX460 for close to the price of the Tesla. When I was cross shopping, a RAV 4 Prime (+ dealer markup) cost more than the MY I purchased--way more if you take into account the $7500 rebate. The median cost for a Ford (Ford!) is now over $50,000. An AWD Ionic/EV6 should be competitive with a Model Y but when I shopped them the Korean cars were way more expensive. Also a comment about the late braking: Do you have the driver preferences set for "sport" or "chill"? I'm guessing the behaviour is partly due to you telling the car to drive aggressively.
2023 MY owner here. I thought there was a suspension upgrade from 2022.
We took a MY test drive this past weekend. I have one on order with delivery projected for sometime in March, five seat seat LR in blue with black interior.
I'm really stoked about the price drop. With the incentive I'm saving more than $20k over last year's price.
It's definitely a fun car to drive. A one hour test drive was not enough to get the hang of all the systems but I didn't expect it to be. The rear visibility is terrible and I do hope there's some kind of camera replacement for the ultrasonic sensor delete. I loved the white interior but have opted for black due to cleanliness concerns. Build quality seemed okay but I would have hoped for something better at that price range. I didn't notice the rear rumble you speak of but the ride was great and the model I drove had the 20 inch wheels.
How did you get a hold of one for an hour. My local Tesla place only allows 10 minutes
@@Brian-dd2df My local Tesla places allow 30 minutes.
You will love it! I just got mine on Friday, and I'm blown away. I didn't hear anything from the back during our 350mi drive home from the delivery center, but the cargo cover was in place, and trunk full of stuff from IKEA. I guess drive around with pillows. 🤣
Here are a few basic questions not covered in a love fest review:
Is it true Tesla has you sign a waiver at purchase that you will not sue them in open court?
How much more costly is the auto insurance and does the giga press part approach for very large parts raise or lower the repair cost?
What are the battery health and performance issues in a place with very high summer temps like Phoenix?
Is the vehicle basically a throw away model after 8 years because of the battery? (Long life Toyota owners want to know.)
Can you add a “Rain mode”? When activated the driver profile will automatically change the Acceleration mode to “Chill”, or a “user configurable setting” when vision identifies wet conditions and/or activates automatic wipers.
Please help me get this request noticed for a possibility of Tesla implementing my suggestion.
New owner here - it seems like super charging takes much longer than the 15-25 minutes everybody else keeps saying. Wonder if I’m doing something wrong
You can set the left stock too long hold press and initiate the wipers. Then you can scroll up or down for the speed with the tap and you will be good to go. Hope this helps.
Thanks Ryan. I do like the Tesla nav system especially with the latest changes. One feature is missing that I feel we really need is Waze notifications for Police marked ahead by other users. We know Tesla is not a fan of apple car play, but Waze is a google product. Any idea if this has been requested? How do we request this?
But automatically it will slow down hour vehicle when car finds police vehicle ( when lights on ) so atleast it will find if the cop vehicle is front side of you r vehicle 😊
@@manivemula905 Huh? Don’t understand?
Coming from Volvo we miss the blind spot warning lights on the side mirrors. The on-screen view is not accurate or prominent enough.
We got our MYP in Mar 2022 and already put 18k miles on it. I agree with your comments about the acceleration and braking on autopilot when in traffic. Autopilot works so nicely otherwise and I use it as often as is practical, but my wife asks me to turn it off when she's in the passenger seat while we're in traffic because it makes her car sick with how quickly it accelerates and brakes. I wish they added configuration options for this, much like you can set autopilot following distance.
Definitely agree that the frunk should be powered, but we're used to it being manual at this point.
I also wish the car had ventilated seats. The interior gets pretty warm in SoCal summer time!
What if you turn on Chill acceleration mode for stop and go traffic?
Are your windows and roof tinted? I'm thinking about ordering one but I'm in TX and not sure if its AC is adequate for our hot climate.
Here’s hoping you mentioning this suggestion will get the attention from Tesla - when trunk is set to open to limited height in garage, it would be nice to have the trunk open fully when not at home in the garage. Just like auto lock can be deactivated when parked in home garage.
Keep up the great work
Debating between the AWD and the LR 2023 models. Is the only difference the range? Or are there other upgrades like the model 3?
Which one did you buy? Standard range or LR?
I can kind of agree the cooling seats would be a great feature with a car this price, but at the same token are you able to turn on the car from wherever it is you find yourself in so that the interior cabin cools down? I guess I’m asking would that help cool down the seats as well?
My wife’s Ford Edge has AC seats
Picking up a 2023 Y tomorrow. One down side for me, and it's there with the 3 as well, is that I need glasses to have clear distance vision. The tradeoff is at 5' or so, things start to get blurry. The minutiae of the big screen is pretty much unreadable to me. I can make out the traffic silhouettes, and other larger images on the left 1/3. May have to get some sort of bi-focals, I guess.
Great review. I’m not a fan of the plastic “hubcaps”. They look like plastic “hubcaps”. I do wish they would add a sound system upgrade. Sound quality is just ok. Fit and finish and quality materials is in need of improvement. The EV tech is incredible, I can almost overlook the shortcomings. Almost.
I haven’t tested this but it would be smart if FSD took its driving style from the ‘chill mode’ setting… if you have chill ‘ON’, FSD drives more chill and if you don’t then FSD doesn’t…
Physical controls can be made for items on screen I have seen recently and you just need to assign the stick on button then save it and it works by blue tooth! What about a heads up display??
I am not a Tesla owner but have been interested in buying one, I have enjoyed your videos. I really don't understand how this vehicle is considered a luxery vehicle, as you state. Although there are many compelling reasons to own a Telsa Model Y, I certainly don't think luxury is one of those reasons. I recently pruchase a Grand Cherokee 4xe Summit Reserve. Two reasons, electrification and comfort. When you look at this vehicle, there is no question that luxury was considered in the design and features. I stand firm that the Model Y and 3 are very utility based designs. Low cost of ownership and reliability would be great reasons to own the Model Y.
Doesn't Enhanced Autopilot cost more if you add it after ordering? Isn't it cheaper to order it with the car rather than after?
Wait? So there's no sensors/warning sound to warn you when you're backing up into something? Or no sensors only in the front?
Especially considering the egregious act of removing the parking sensors without replacing them. They could have AT LEAST sent out an update with the 360 view in the meantime, since the hardware is there already, it really should not be that hard. This as a quick supplement while Tesla vision version of parking sensors are being worked on.
Elon announced on Oct 3, 2020: „Vector-space bird’s eye view coming with FSD“.
So it’s probably coming any day now LOL. And it might require you to buy FSD LOL.
The missing parking sensors is 80% of why I would never buy a Tesla now, the rest is 10% the mental state of the CEO and 10% other deficiencies (no HUD, annoying windscreen wiper AI, etc).
did you see about the guy whose parking proximity alerts still worked fine while the car didn't have the bumper installed (with the sensors). The implication being that regardless of whether you have them or not you are already using just vision.
@@SLPCaires did not see this! Weird!
@@SLPCaires my 2023 model 3, delivered end of October last year has no kind of parking alerts, as do practically everyone who has a 2023 model. What you speak of is either fake, or some one off fluke or possibly a tester vehicle for vision at best. The masses who have these vehicles don't have parking sensors of any kind, all we have is collision avoidance for at driving speed which I have noticed is flaky when lighting conditions are bad, which is laughable for a vehicle that cost as much as it does.
360” don’t believe it … Tesla lacks a front bumper camera and side mirror camera’s. Guess Tesla will be able to make a 180” view 😢😮
Ryan, very amazing review. As a 2022 model Y owner (with rough suspension) I missed the grab handles, wondered why the roof doesn’t have a built in shade and could not understand why they were dropping sensors in the bumpers.
Didn’t Tesla announce they were going to start using the sensors again along with higher speed proceeding?
Have had radar on all my cars. I would never use the radar for proximity that wasn’t a pillow. Just a suggestion use the backup camera and back into the spot. Or get out and take a look. You know the update is coming that should be a solution.
The Model Y only has a 330 mile range if you’re driving downhill with a tail wind, and possibly off a cliff. Luckily, it has a stellar crash rating.
😂
EPA marketing fiction aside, it’s still an amazing car.
Yes, overhead view should be available via software update. Would also like to see the following (large font mode for those of us that need reading glasses, ability to drag route to a different road/route, fix android text ... many times I get a text and Tesla thinks it's an old text from years ago).
Audio in jack and hires Bluetooth codecs are needed for us audiophiles
I have a 2021 3SR+ and took delivery of a YLR on Friday. Aside from a some small paint scratches the fit & finish was excellent. I did get the Induction Wheels option and find the fide and handling better than my 3 - especially the turning radius. The whole USS vs Vision really sucks! We have come to really rely on USS on my 3 and not having USS on the Y is poor decision (along with the stupid fake wood grain trim LOL).
I am hanging on to buy for a while in the (possibly vain) hope they admit it was a mistake and reinstate the USS.
The fake wood is better than the white interior option which reflects in both door mirrors and increases glare.
@@fallonstuart8921 Good to know thanks.
I wish Tesla had ability to answer or end a call on steering wheel. It's distracting to use the screen. Are there any other ways?
Things I've fed back regularly with no response or changes.
1. Lights on handles: new passengers in the dark have no clue how to open the doors, on dark paint job, handle invisible!
2. Autowipe sensor is disgraceful. it seems bipolar. Very slow when its pouring and going mad fast when there is no rain. In winter when using cruise control, the autowipe is compulsory on and is plain unsafe. Scenario- Winter - salt smear on screen. wash windscreen with quick screenwash, 2 -3 wipes should be enough, but auto goes for 10-20 - doing nothing but smudge more salt spray all over the screen. have no choice but to turn off cruise control and turn off auto wipe.
3. Screen Font size: Many of us need reading glasses that are not suitable for driving (seeing into the distance) Easily solved by being able to increase the size of the font slightly on the screen, so message & info are clearly legible.
The back compartments are different sizes and comes with a truck cover and ledge to sit on also between 2022/2023...minor differences i know
I had a Volvo xc90 hire car with pro pilot, i found that system also accelerated quite hard up to the car in front if say the current car in front pulled out and left a gap... ?? relax it not a race
Great review! Do you have experience with the acceleration upgrade for the long range version? How does it compare to the performance? Does it reduce the reach?
We pick up our 2023 AWD Y in Nov. it’s built in Austin, how do we know if it’s a 4680 battery?
If it's a LR, it's not 4680.
Is the Driver Profile saved to your Tesla cloud account?
So you can use it with other Tesla vehicles.
I have the same metal rattle in the driver side door but I have a 2022 model 3. I did take it in to Tesla who couldn’t find/fix it. I’m really interested if you get it fixed!
Poor workmanship/lousy cheap build bad luck following BIDENs trend, who is an old stupid corrupt President. Period
it's a feature.
Don't forget the voice commands......I rarely touch the screen.....I just use the voice commands.....VERY convenient....!!!!!
Great review of overall features of the vehicle. Thank you.
This is a terrific video - very informative
Phantom breaking - I was on a highway last week and there was a car off to the side of the road with the hazards flashing. The car slowed down thinking it was emergency vehicles and a notification popped up stating so. Then after we passed the car on the side of the road the auto pilot went back to normal speed
The main thing they need to fix IMO is having physical knobs and buttons for some features like AC, Wiper Speed, Speaker Volume, etc.
I agree thats what i dont like about my civic but they updated on the refresh model. Def makes it much safer. Dont know why auto manufactureres do that
The Bang & Olufsen sound system on my Aston is not as effective as the sound system on my model Y.
Super happy with my Y LR.
But I totally agree on the windshield wiper. Super annoying. Must be buried really deep somewhere in the product backlog. Especially since since the manual override button use would be perfect for capturing an image for training
Interesting. I don’t own a Tesla, but I’ve rented a model Y three times on Turo. Though I don’t own a Tesla, I find it interesting that I know how to use the voice commands and have used them to control many of the car’s functions, while renting the cars. I guess I must watch more videos than owners do.
@@anthonyscott5134 agreed, voice commands are a good way to get to stuff buried in the UI. E.g. I use it for the glove box.
But I don’t get your point re the wipers. Pressing the left stock button is 1 press. How are you faster with voice commands?
On the other hand I might have issues with counting single digits and need advice from a non-Tesla owner 😂
Seriously, if there is any clever short-cut via voice, let me know
@@nikos6220 Read the owner's manual for a full list. You don't have to be an owner of a Tesla to read it, btw.
guys, read my comment.
It is about Tesla having stated the goal to run the auto wiper functionality via machine learning and obviously not working hard on it, as it is as bad as all the others out there.
Getting stuck on having a workaround via voice command… totally besides the point
@@nikos6220 yeah they didn’t get what you were saying. Confusing backlog with menu lol. I agree I can’t believe they haven’t fixed/improved the auto wipers but also agree hitting the end of stalk button works. Let’s not bring up the auto high beams, yikes.
I wish the blind side camera wasnt tinted. I know its for the computer blah blah but it makes it hard to see in the split second you need it.
How good is the screen when the interior is super cold (meaning less than 0F)? Is it laggy like some electronics get?
I agree with how the auto-pilot accelerates too fast at times and waits too long to brake in stop-and-go traffic. I took control a bunch of times. I find the car in the previous update stayed in the lane better, now if is either Right or Left and then back to the middle. Not by much, but usually just the opposite of what I would do. Left turns to seem better than right. Also, a little scary when it stops and then thinks it should turn in front of oncoming traffic (left turn). I find that EAP on the highway is better than FSD, it stays in the HOV lane and changes lanes quicker when I signal. FSD is still cool, but glad I didn't buy and can rent it by the month, think Feb is my last month for a while. 360 view would be great. Agree he shouldn't have killed USS until Vision worked. Phantom Braking isn't too bad, just weird that sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't in the same place. Does anyone else with FSD notice that it changes lanes in the intersection, how could they miss that is illegal? Although I can get items from my phone, XM, etc. I would like to see the app store. I like how quiet the car is and I find the ride smooth. The touch screen is quick and works great. So far the AC works well, but we are not at S FL summer yet. I agree cooling seating would be nice. I find the front dual pane windows great and the back single pane sound like could break when you close the doors. Sentry mode is great just in case. Lots of room in the car.
Your 2020 had 20"wheels. That was the main reason for the harshness. A '22 Y with 20" wheels doesn't feel much different. The "comfort suspension" on the '23 is where there's a noticeable difference. Still not as comfortable as having the 19" wheels. Musk recommended 39 psi even though that's lower than the door sticker recommendation.
The Model Y has side curtain airbags above the windows, that's why there's no grab handle there.
Can you close windows with the tesla app ?
Does some 2023 Model Y come with front bumper PPF? I was checking for paint defect and realized the front bumper has what looks like a PPF.
I noticed the same on my MYP delivered in Feb 22. I was afraid to pick on it lol.
@@Teddy_M85 only way I can be sure is if I peel it off…. It’s not as thick as the side PPFs for the mud but there’s definitely something on it.
I was just watching a video today where the BMW didn't come with auto pilot and he said why buy it. I agree, I believe FSD will not be a money maker in the future. Will you pay more for delay wipers or just not buy the car? Most people will say give me FSD if you want but I'm not paying for it. "In fact it scares me."
Friend of Mine just got his model Y, at the same time I received my model 3 (both 2022) makes me want to trade my model 3 for the Y lol. that extra space looks real nice and since I am somewhat tall, the Y I can enter easier lol. however I really like my model 3. I had to rewatch all of the dos and don'ts from your Channel (shared it with my wife as well) since this is the first Tesla we have. very happy with it.
Thank you for this one and all the other great reviews you do. One thing you (and others) seem to never address (or I might have missed it): effect of the sun roof in hot climates. You seem to live in California and I live in a similar climate. One would think that sun roof might be a problem there. Is it? Also, I understand that the 2023 models 3 and Y are equipped with matrix LED headlights. I have a VW with those and to me it's fantastic! It will dynamically remove, almost completely, the light from the cars that come from the opposite direction while at the same time continuing to use the super bright light on everything else. How is it on Teslas? Perhaps a topic for another video?
Agreed with you 100%. Thank you
Good well balanced review. Thanks
I got FSD for $5000. I still think it’s a party trick. Definitely it worth $15000
Great review 👍 So true about the safety having a break while the car is charging.
Any thoughts? I have a 2022 model y LR. Oct delivery. I feel like my ultra sonic parking sensors still work. When I park I still see distance in inches to objects. Is this the same for everyone else? I keep seeing videos saying an update stoped them from working. But I’m fully updated and they still work.
Great Video Ryan, my Chinese SRMY appears to be well built, no rattles or other issues after 5k km. I have a minor annoyance that the indicators won't go directly from R to L without an intermediate cancel. This would be very useful for roundabouts. We have a lot of them in Australia. How do you get on with the white fascia reflecting in the door mirrors?
