Nice video. I've also loved collection day whenever I've got a brand new car, feels like Xmas morning or when you're going on holiday. 9 Tesla's in 6 years, that's some going!
Thanks, yes it’s an excessive amount of Teslas but we mainly change them for tax reasons. I didn’t plan on getting 2 new model Y’s last year but by doing so saved our business around £20k in corporation tax!
Thanks. We change them quickly to take advantage of the tax saving for the business as you can save 19% of the cost of the vehicle off your corporation tax
Hi Steve, I've got pretty much exactly the same car as you and age. I'm having some slight knocking noises coming from the front suspension on really small bumps at low speed. Have you noticed this at all?
Hey Andy. I’ve not noticed any knocking noises coming from mine or my wife’s Model Y. Maybe try posting on one of the Tesla groups on Facebook to see if anyone else has experienced this with theirs.
I’ve not really driven it much since I got it as we’ve been away since I got it. I’ve only done a few hundred miles but I find it great, nice and firm to drive, however with the wife’s MY LR we have had for almost a year now we have found it quite bouncy at times. I think I need a little longer with mine to compare it. Good luck with your collection next week 👍
The light show is so unnecessary - it's awesome! 👍🤙How do tesla hold their value? I'm literally on the edge in making the switch. Great video as always Steve
They've been doing really well up to now. Take Lyndsay's last Model 3, we lost just £8k in 2 1/2 years, but we also saved £10k in corporation tax, so when you look at it like that it's like driving a Tesla for free!
Hi Steve, Great video, I pick my Y up next Friday, very excited 😁 I’ve been doing as much research as I can before picking it up. You seem a great source of experience so can I ask, I’ve seen some videos saying you shouldn’t charge to 100% regularly and some saying you always should 😵💫 Can you give me your opinion please? Thanks, Scott
Sure Scott, lithium batteries don’t like to be fully charged or fully discharged regularly, although it’s fine now and then when you need to. You’re best to keep them between 10%-90% charged and you can set the charge limit in the car or on the Tesla app.
A year of waiting? I did similar but cancelled last minute and now they want to sell me one from inventory, same spec, for 8k less. I’d be livid if I wen through with initial order. Tesla at it again.
Not yet. All I can say is reversing into a space is fine as you have the rear camera, however going into any space forwards is a bit worrying right now
@@SteveRadford this was my concern and nearly cxld (ours arrives soon). Listened to a few LiDAR/Tesla Vision experts and they say the cameras should be far better than USS but somewhat sceptical when there isn’t a low level camera at the front (unless I’m mistaken?)
It’s pretty simple, you just remove the rear plate and surround and use a double sided vhb tape to stick the plate back on without the additional plastic surround
@@SteveRadford I also like what you have done with the rear reg plate...but what happens when you want to remove it or maybe change for a personal plate later...does it damage the paintwork?
Hope you didn't get stung by the big price drop. Personally the steering wheel looks cheap especially next to all singing screen. Tesla info you get from the car is second to none.
Super! Can’t wait for my MPY, collection on the 22nd. Can you briefly say your impression on the driving difference between Model Y Performance and LR? Thanks
Sure Aaron. The ride seems firmer because of the larger wheels and lower suspension and of course the acceleration is faster from the off, although when accelerating from maybe 50-60mph it doesn’t feel that much different although it probably is, but marginally.
Absolutely fine Alan, no issues as yet. In fact I’ve only ever had to replace 2 handles on a Model S after owning 9 Teslas over 6 years. These things are pretty bulletproof
@Steve Radford Cheers. Looking at ordering one when they come from Berlin, and hopefully with the pressed chassis and 4680 batteries, but that might be a while.
How is without USS? Front parking in special? Without not sensors,I don’t know how the front camera will pick any small objects, as before wit sensors on front bumper. Any idea ? Is yours with or without?
Mine is without the sensors and currently parking in forwards can be a little daunting so I always reverse in for now, although they are meant to be updating it to use the front camera, but I’m not expecting that to be perfect either
@@SteveRadford That’s a bit disappointing, I have model 3 with USS, and also have on order model y performance like yours, pick up on 20 this month, but I’m not to sure about front parking, the back is ok had camera but front don’t have nothing. So I’m not to sure what will the best for me now, keep my model 3 and wait or go ahead with my order 4 model y. I deal like Tesla going back in stead go ahead. And also is not really cheep car
nice, I am getting my Y tomorrow. Only concern is not having the USS! Got all my xmas lights up so can use the light show at the last piece in my display haha
Nice car and performance. Not sure about the looks? Does it need a traditional front end bonnet which obviously usually houses the internal combustion engine. Possibly could free up more internal space without this. Although I guess that could make it look a bit like a Toyota Previa 😃 As for the light show!! Can't find the words.

why change so often?
Great Video, i had the same collection point and Tesla Guy serve me.. and to top it all, that's my Tesla that you did the comparison with.....
Thanks Gary, and what a coincidence!
one day, I hope to have a model Y performance too...
Great video! I’m getting my silver Tesla model y performance soon and I can’t wait! Cheers
You won’t be disappointed, I’m very happy with mine
@@SteveRadford thanks for the reassurance. Are you with octopus energy for cheaper ev charging?
@@anillchandi Yes, been with Octopus for a couple of years now, great company
Great video Steve 👌🏻
Thanks Mark
Saw a white Model Y Performance today for the first time. Have to say, it does look good
They do don’t they, I think the spoiler and the large black wheels really set it off
May I ask why changing cars so quick or do you lease short term
Great video 👍

Great car and futuristic...

Hey Andy. I’ve not noticed any knocking noises coming from mine or my wife’s Model Y. Maybe try posting on one of the Tesla groups on Facebook to see if anyone else has experienced this with theirs.
How do you find the ride? Too bumpy with the stiff suspension/bigger wheels? Any other thoughts after driving it a while? Picking my MYP up next week!

🤣 I gotta say I like the display at the end
You’re bloody tempting me on getting one
Never owned a EV before 🤠👌

I'm literally on the edge in making the switch. Great video as always Steve

You'll only wonder why you didn't make the switch sooner. Do it!

@@robqueen8370 it's stuck on with some VHB double sided tape so it just comes off with a plastic removal tool easy enough, no damage to the paintwork

hahah tezla, I love how every UK person calls it tezla lol
Amazing. Tesla got the best technology system above all the car companies
How’s it going now that you’ve had it for a few weeks any issues???
Absolutely fine Alan, no issues as yet. In fact I’ve only ever had to replace 2 handles on a Model S after owning 9 Teslas over 6 years. These things are pretty bulletproof
@@SteveRadford do you know if Tesla part exchange any other cars other than Teslas ?
@@Alan-xk9rk yes they do although you will probably get a better price selling it privately, but get in touch and see what they’ll offer you
Built in China or Germany?
Not sure if the RHD Performance is coming from Berlin yet?
Mine was built in China 🇨🇳
@Steve Radford Cheers. Looking at ordering one when they come from Berlin, and hopefully with the pressed chassis and 4680 batteries, but that might be a while.

@@SteveRadford
There's a rumour of another camera inside the headlights, plus a high resolution radar (the radar might be for long distance only?)
It really doesn’t bother me that much not having the sensors as I reverse in almost every time, and the odd time I don’t I just do it carefully
Very nice car , plenty performance ! 😁
Tesla are awesome we have 4 and they are perfect
Now that’s just greedy Roger, enjoy mate 😉
nice, I am getting my Y tomorrow. Only concern is not having the USS!
Got all my xmas lights up so can use the light show at the last piece in my display haha
How exciting, enjoy your new car 🚗
Haha that ending is brilliant indeed!💯
How did you get charger ? Did you buy it ?
The small granny charger in the bag that I showed in the frunk comes with the car
Hello Steve thanks for responding
I thought Tesla don’t include them anymore?
I hadn’t heard that Francis, and it was there in mine, so maybe it’s something they’re considering and haven’t implemented yet?
Thanks. Hopefully mine will have it
@@ebustinguish They are not included in the US but they are in the UK
Is this from Berlin or Shanghai?
I believe call Right hand drive cars are from Shanghai.
All good quality.
It’s a Shanghai build David
Super COOL! response to your question at the end 😅…. My delivery is on Thursday next week and can’t wait to do the light show on Xmas day 🎉
Ford focus side repeaters 😁👍
Nice car and performance. Not sure about the looks? Does it need a traditional front end bonnet which obviously usually houses the internal combustion engine. Possibly could free up more internal space without this. Although I guess that could make it look a bit like a Toyota Previa 😃 As for the light show!! Can't find the words.
The lights projected Tesla onto your wall did you notice thats them laser lights obviously really cool 🤣
Ain’t they cool 😎
That is so awesome
Thanks Will 👍
Wow!! I want one 😊
Wow.
I would rather a VW campervan lol.
Now a Tesla powered VW Campervan like Fun for Louis would be awesome
