Entertaining commentary and eye candy. Surely this channel is going to blow up at some point.
You're back in my top 10 RUclips channels. Finally back to the homeland. TESLA. Well done.
Haha it’s always been my fav!
Tesla is like Apple in 2007 when they presented the iPhone for the first time.
😍
I wish I still had this passion. Let me explain. I’m in my 50’s. My kids are in university. I had forgotten about our puppy love with my wife until I watch your stuff. I love the innuendo. It’s cute. We used to fog the windows and wiggle the car springs. Will not forget the cop rapping on our fogged window. Sadly, those days are long gone. I’m actually a bit jealous watching your vids. I wish I had some of that passion for my wife. Half my daughters hockey team were divorced. Guy moved on to a new “EV”. Faithful to mine. Love is deep, but that other stuff that is missing…. I hope you guys keep that fire for each other. My Red MYP is also my favourite EV. Rivian coming soon, so we’ll see.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We’ve been married for almost 9 years and can honestly say that we are more in love now than when we got married. I hope you and your wife are able to “fog up the windows” once again. I have much respect for you because marriage can be difficult but you are and your wife have chosen to continue to be together.
That’s exciting about the Rivian! Absolutely can’t wait until ours come in!
"Those curbs be jumping out at me!" Hahahhahaah
Excellent video as usual. I love my late 2021 MYP as well. My 3 kids play a lot of club sports and the roominess of the car makes packing sport gear for 3 kids and luggage for 5 a breeze. I have the original 21 inch wheels, but I sold the original stock summer tires and replaced them with Michelin all season 4 tires. I also went with 275's in the front and 295's in the back and it made my white on white MYP meaner looking by boxing out the car and made the ride a lot more comfortable because of having more rubber. The secondary benefit is that the rim is now inside the tire for more rim protection. A win / win in my book
Just discovered your channel and your delivery was great and funny 😆 Loving my Y performance 2021 with 30,000 miles. Subscribed!
Thanks Rickey! Crazy how your SUV is quicker than most sports cars! They are awesome!
Thanks, I have watched every video on RUclips about Model Y. I am anxiously waiting on my Y!!! Thanks
You are going to love it Russell! What spec did you go with?
You should be head of sales at Tesla! Fantastic vid as usual, Shannon! 🚙 🇺🇸 🌺
Just found your channel. love it, great review I'm about to order a Y performance and you helped seal any lingering doubts. LUV your innuendo humor btw LMAO don't change :P
Thanks Ronny! You are going to love it! What spec are you going with for your MYP?
Lovely Shannon you look great. I have got to say I'm your huckleberry. That's not what I want to say. This is your voice is mesmerizing me...............be water my friend
How is the ride quality on the Y performance compared to your other EVs or other Tesla vehicles for that matter ?
what brand of back seat cover is on the back of your 2nd row seats (to protect the backside)?
Looks like 3D mats. Got the same in my MYP
Greets from Germany. Just found your channel, love it and surely subscribed. I think there is a little issue, at least with your front left tire. It seems to be mounted in the wrong direction. In this way you loose grip and minimize the lifetime.
Do you still use the 20’s wheels you purchased off of Tire Rack during the winter? These are the stock 21’s correct??
Yep, I have the 20’s on right now for winter!
Great video as usual. Is the model y that much different than the model 3 performance?
I had a Model 3 LRDM and I think the Model does drive better. I felt much more connected to the road than the MYP but the pros of the MYP are just it’s size and is tuned more for comfort even with the 21’s. It’s better for our family as a family vehicle whereas the Model 3 was more enjoyable without kids.
"Beat all of the other basic white girls to Starbucks" 🤣😂🤣🤣
Greetings, New Subscriber here! 🙋🏽♂️
I'm on the wait list for a Rivian R1T (for the Mrs) and an R1S (for me) however been eyeing the Model Y (and X). I know there are pros and cons to Tesla vs Rivian, but in your experience, do you have an overall preference between the 2 brands/mentioned models?
Thanks and take care! ✌️
Hey Joseph! Welcome to the channel!
This is a very difficult question to answer because both brands are awesome and obviously the top of the game when it comes to EVs.
Knowing what I know now after having the R1T, I wish I had put a deposit for the R1S as well (pre-price hike). The R1T has quickly become my family’s favorite vehicle; however, charging infrastructure is still against it and all other non-Tesla EVs. We typically travel often and our Tesla MYP is unbeatable in having the confidence to travel anywhere and knowing that all Superchargers along the way are going to work. Currently the plan for both of our vehicles is to use the R1T for shorter trips but if the destination is more than 2 charging stop away, 100% taking the MYP and we may end up just taking the MYP anyways just because we may not want the additional stressor of hoping the chargers works with ElectrifyAmerica.
All this can change if Tesla allows non-Tesla EVs to use their Superchargers like they are planning on later this year. If that happens, go two Rivians 100%. Tesla still has the tech advantage but Rivian is close enough that I would probably sell the MYP and get a R1S as a replacement and be perfectly happy.
So bottom line if I was you, I’d buy the R1T and R1S, use the money that you saved in not buying a Tesla Model X for a rental if you need to travel cross country, and have the best of all the worlds when Tesla opens up their Superchargers to all EVs. The Rivian is just soooo good. It’s literally a Swiss Army knife in being good at everything.
Hope that helps!
Great video 👍 I have exactly the same model U have except with the black interior. I love diving it and enjoying the FSD beta! Tesla goes to the moon ~~~!!
Love the underfloor toy box 📦 and big Frounk 😍 BMW bit lazy 👌 asleep think they will go broke 💔 😴
I like the name of your car, I lived in Germany for quite some time. 😄
Actually debating on the model y vs mach e GT /or awd ext. my wife is shopping for one now. Still like the model y? Any issues with quality control ?
I absolutely love my Model Y and I actually haven’t had QC issues out of any of the two Tesla’s I’ve owned 🤞
Not sure how quickly you need a vehicle, but if you are looking at the Mach-E, it may be worth it to wait until they change their OS to Google. When I had my Mach-E, the most frustrating element was dealing with the software but I know Ford is about to change it.
@@EVandChill oh wow. I didn’t know the os had an upcoming change. I’m not in a rush. Was going to get on the waitlist for the 2023 mme.
I think it’s slated for Fall ‘23 of when it will swap to an Android OS but well worth the wait after dealing with the current Sync4.
@@EVandChill thank you. So aside from the ford sync, you’d still recommend the model y for driving experience ?
The MME drives more refined but the Model Y still drives well. Overall, the MY is a better vehicle and EV in my opinion when thinking of tech, charging speed, charging overall, room, and ability to receive new features. Out of owning both, I’m choosing the Model Y 10/10 times.
Shannon is sooooo funny
Tesla Model Y Performance with EV-01+ 19" wheels with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires 255/45/19 - Best car ever owned with a smooth ride-quality!
We had MCC tires on our Model 3 and absolutely loved them!
@@EVandChill I watched your video on it and that's when I became a subscriber!
I love it! Thanks for watching and I hope those tires work out well this winter!
What’s the real world range you get? I’m awaiting delivery and don’t hear a lot on RUclips about what a 80-90% charge gets you - all I know if 305mi is under best conditions and is the estimate, but you’re not charging to 100% every time.
At 80% I typically start off around 240mi of range and can easily average 276Wh/mi which is 3.62mi/kWh at a 65mph average. That’s with family in the car, AC on 72 with fan speed of 2, and average take off speed. I don’t think that’s too bad considering I have rally style mud flaps and rims savers on wheels which both affect efficiency as well.
Mine too! 👍
Have you driven a Audi Etron? I’ve heard great things about them.
It’s been a couple of years since I drove one but I remember it being a really smooth ride. It also seemed like a very put together vehicle similar to other German vehicles.
Just switched my Mustang Mach E RWD for the Tesla Model Y LR AWD.
Im so happy I got my MY may of last year at 50k it’s a bit unfortunate now its like 62k cause honestly even tho imo it’s the best Ev in suv segment hands down, at 62k or more for the performance it priced a lot of people out
Maybe it will go back down and with tax credits hopefully help more people
um..only 62k ?? LOL look again, the Y is 66k now and the Y performance is is 70k without options. i WISH it was only 62,000. you are SO lucky to have a Y at 50k :) I never thought a car would be such an investment.
@@rono33check the price now lol
Those hips don't lie!
Great video review, I am not a Tesla fan, but do like vehicle and only reason why I am not driving one is the price, Here in Canada it is too pricey $90,000.00 CAD just misses the mark. If the price does come down I will consider it again (just one year ago it was $69,990.00 CAD)! My Ionic 5 is due sometime in October or November (only MSRP and they are giving me great trade value on my older Soul EV), that will make due for now and will hold it's value should Tesla price drop enough to buy one.
Their price increases last year was insane so totally understandable but the Ioniq 5 is a great EV. When we had ours, I was pleasantly surprised as to how much room it had as well as how quickly it charges. You will love yours!
I assume the Model Y Performance has a lot stiffer suspensions. I really hated my Model Y I felt every single bump it was the worse.
Ready to review a X5 45e 😉?
Instead of throwing money at goofy and hideous rim protectors, invest in slightly wider tires. Road rash is super annoying, but overall your car will look better and get real protection from curbs with tires that cover the wheel lip instead of those stupid rim strips that will peel off just from driving. Did this on my X and the wife's Y P, neither of us had another curb rash issue in over a year.
You're welcome 😉
It's annoying that Tesla and other companies put tires on that are narrower than the rims for the sake of efficiency. Save a little energy, meanwhile destroy a $2000+ set of wheels. 🙄
@@Josh-179 We're not anal enough to notice any minor energy differences, and I might have looked at that power consumption screen four times. Both cars do handle slightly better with just that tiny increase in rubber though. Who knew.
@@majorpayne7137 , I guess it's understandable that automakers do this. They're chasing the highest EPA rating as possible and putting narrow tires adds range and efficiency which helps sell the car initially.
Y’all y’all y’all y’all like too like too like yall too much!
I just wanna hate on Elon....but really, my ID4 has exactly what I wanted and hasn't given me any problems after 23K miles. I chose it over Tesla because A) price and B) Tesla is so cookie cutter. I don't want what everyone else already has. I want to get in on the ground floor of emerging EVs and help improve the genre. Eventually they'll catch up to Tesla and surpass it. They're learning what consumers want. Tesla doesn't change styles very quickly, but big auto makers are already rolling out tons of different styles. If I had enough money and could have a Y, I'd get an F-150 Lightning instead.
Love the channel. Keep chillin' 😉
You just hate on Elon/Tesla for no reason 😂😂 but hey.. when will anyone else but Tesla have full self driving? 10 years after Tesla
@@jeremygilbert3099 no reasons? Oh geeze, I thought there were reasons.
Glad you'll have full self driving before anyone else. That comes standard on ALL Teslas correct?
Still don't want a Tesla. Enjoy yours. 🙂
Agreed Tesla just works, the other OEM will catch up someday
Volvo XC40 P8 is my choice. I looked at the Model Y and still went with the Volvo. Tesla is good; we have a Model 3 (my spouse drives it every day). We haven't had any issues with our Model 3 and, admittedly, while minor we have had issues with the Volvo. One time I went out and it was a brick - wouldn't do anything. 15 minutes later I went out and tried it again and it worked - no explanation for why/how/wtf over. As a first year, brand new vehicle for Volvo the Company is doing well overall; not perfect - not excellent (before all the haters pounce). My spouse and I both agree: Tesla is better technology and BMS (somewhat expected for as long as it has been in the space) though the Volvo is the better vehicle - more comfortable, more luxurious, better ride - all the lines (trim pieces/door trims) are good - there is no water in the door sill after a heavy rain like in the Tesla.
Tesla’s are simply better. Tech is the new luxury!
To be fair, you are comparing top of the line model y to lower or entry level EVs. Not a fair comparison.
Going up in price wouldn’t help higher priced EVs as well. Taycan is more expensive, less room, inefficient tech; Air is more expensive, less room, inefficient tech; EQS is the same. Each of those are great in specific areas but not as well rounded. The less expensive EVs actually are more capable than higher priced as of current market.
@@EVandChill to be fair again, porches, Lucid, and Mercedes are luxury EVs and on a different level than Tesla, kia, Ford, Hyundai, VW. MachE, Ionic 5, EV6, I.D4 are lower price in their highest trim than a model y performance.
There's essentially just one trim of the Model Y. The performance adds power/speed, bigger wheels, etc but everything else is the same (same interior/features). The Y being her favorite isn't about the 0-60 time.
@@Josh-179 I never said anything about the 0-60. I honestly stopped watching the video after I realized she was comparing all her EVs to the model Y because there is no point in comparing them. 70k model Y to 40-50k EVs?
@@didiermejia780 , but the Model Y is in the class of Mach-e, Ioniq 5, ID4, etc. It's just that Tesla has dramatically raised the price and now it is overpriced. Doesn't mean it's a class above necessarily. It wins in her mind because of overall packaging (room), and software that just always works. Also has the best charging network which I don't think she even mentioned.
Lol red light district
Teslas are for those that don't know any better
What’s your Instagram lol u a wild one lol
