    Gigacasting front and rear units make for a very solid car. My wife's MY is quiet with no rattles. We met someone with a 2021 MYLR that was astounded with how much improvement in ride and lack of rattle. Have a great trip!

      Are the Fremont builds all single piece casting front AND back? I don’t believe so … also everyone who drives the Austin ones that are with the structural battery pack say they can’t feel or tell any diff between that and the Fremont ones. Thoughts?

      @@raheeb1 Ours is from Austin with the 4680 structural battery pack. I haven't driven a Fremont version, but can only convey the comment that ours is rattle free and feels "tighter" than the pre gigacast models. This could certainly make for an interesting video comparison.

    I've had a Model Y Dual Motor Long Range with 19" wheels now for 7 months. I've gotten similar impressive efficiency and range numbers on road trips. And no creeks or rattles, not even any uneven panel gaps. I couldn't be more pleased. The Supercharger network is spectacular!

    I’ve had to replace my spoiler twice. The part cost $800. I’ve scratched it twice with my garage door. It’s starting to come off again and will be replaced under warranty but still. If I were you, I would just buy the acceleration boost and be done with it. You do not need a spoiler.

    Always fun to watch you road trip. You made a good call on the Laurel stop. Although Abington is near shopping and Starbucks, once you exit I-95 you have about a 10 minute drive to go the final ~1 mile because of the traffic lights.
    Yeah… if you’re south of DC in the Dumfries area, it has forever, inexplicably, been solid jam traffic there.

    I took delivery of my 2023 MYP in late March. I changed my order from the LR in order to get my car sooner. I agree with your discussion regarding the differences in these two variants. The MYP is a beast that in my opinion, is well worth the $4k up charge. If a rear-end carbon spoiler increases your passion for the car and you're okay with the $800 price tag, then go for it. In essence, you're validating one of the reasons why I'm so happy with my MYP.

    Dave, totally agree with you. They improved the suspension and ride. I used to have a 2021 MY 19” and the 2023 model is better. I originally bought with 20” wheels and ended replacing to 19”. Much quieter and better ride IMHO.

    Dave, From West Hartford CT.we have a new Y we picked up in May. Have a Tesla charger on the side of our house. Traveled to Cape NJ and had no problems charging. We're retired so we have lots of time and small bladders so stopping to recharge is not an issue. Recently went to Hamonasset state park in CT. Happy to see they have several free chargers. We enjoyed the lovely beach and soaked up lots of free electricity. Appreciate your explanation about calculating range. One thing is the Tesla navagation is not as good as Google maps. For example along CT route 9 Tesla has not updated to the renumbering of exits. Last week I volunteered to take veterans fly fishing. One vet had walking issues. I drove down some slippery rough dirt roads. The 4 wheel drive was great. Thanks

    Great video, I got the MYP a month ago and it's a lot of fun. It looks amazing with the bigger wheels and red calipers. The ride quality is excellent too. I rarely see another performance model but I see long ranges everywhere so the extra $4k is definitely worth it imo. I'm getting 250-260 real world range on my MYP with a wh/mi of 275.

    • @Superman-xr1oh

    @13:25 I love my 2022 Model Y long range with 19" wheels, but the suspension for me is borderline awful. I drive in NYC and can feel every bump as compared to my 2000 Lexus RX300 that I rode for 20+ years before buying the Tesla. It's not so much the up and down bumps actually that is the problem but the jerking that just thrashes myself and my passengers from side to side on city streets. The Model Y is great on the highway but for local roads - not so much. I would upgrade to air-suspension in a heartbeat if Tesla offered it. I know there are 3rd party suspensions out there but I don't want to void my warranty and/or use something that has some unintended consequence like a hit to range unless it was designed by Tesla engineers.

    Your hitting the same stops we had on our recent trip to Sarasota Florida and back from NJ. The route we took was, after the Delaware bridge, we went south on Rt 1/301 all the way down to the Richmond beltway, bypassing all the traffic (and tolls) of Baltimore and Washington. Much more relaxing than sitting in stopped traffic and the high tolls for the express lanes. We got the same 280w/mi over the 2500 mile trip with the same spec Model Y.

    No, you’re not a ‘poser’ with a spoiler on a non performance Y. The underline under the Dual Motor logo for a non performance Y would be a poser to me. I have a 2023 MYL 7 seaters with white on white with 20’ induction wheels and the matted spoiler looks amazing against the white paint contrast.

    You mentioned an even better reason for arriving with a buffer: dog or camp mode not working under 20%. Depending on how quickly you want to be able to walk away from the car with it having climate control or take a cool nap, you may want to time your arrival to coincide with your charge dipping down to around 20%. Also, your passengers' peace of mind should be considered especially if you don't want to risk getting a piece of their mind.
