    I pick up my Model Y on the 22nd March, the hatch was the decision maker for me....

    Nice one gang, good to see you again….my Model 3 LR comes 28/3. I had a good look at the Y before I ordered….I think if you’ve got a young family like yours then there is definitely space advantages. For me I didn’t really need the space, and preferred the sportier look of the 3. Be good to hear what you think when you drive it. Take care and thanks for sharing. Marcus

      Thanks. Yes gonna drive one as soon as we can get it booked, but we love out model 3 too, don't always need the space either

    Another great video . I sat in Model Y today at the new Norwich store. Same level of comfort as Model 3. Think would be a more convenient family car with the hatch back boot opening and raised rear roof space. Would like to see a parcel shelf. My daughter has long flown the next and so today I placed my order for Model 3 LR. Can't wait to join Tesla family. Your short and informative films were a great help. Gonna miss my 5 Series diesel though.

      Thanks. You won't miss the fuel bill or the car I'm sure after u get ur hands on ur new car 🤣 our local fuel station I've seen today is Bow £1.80 per litre diesel ⛽️ !! Mad.
      All the best and thanks for watching.

    That's a fantastic car. The only thing I personally don't like is the lack of dedicated controls for basic functions like heating / AC and common drive functions. I like to think that the car can still be controlled if the big screen fails, and I'm worried about looking away from the road while adjusting settings, etc. Maybe not a problem in reality though?

    • @EvClaireScott

      You definatly don't miss any buttons. They can all be easily still controlled ir voice control can do alot of them. Like adjust heat up. Or turn heat on/off. The cars are amazing both model 3 and model y

    We’re in the same position as yourselves. Have a 71 plate SR+ but would like a model y for the extra boot space etc but it is quite a bit more money. Overall love our Tesla and would never go back to an ICE car or even non ev Tesla without the UK getting a better charging network!

    • @EvClaireScott
      @EvClaireScott  2 года назад

      Exactly same as us. Love our Model 3. But yes the jump is alot of money. It's about extra £15k think 🤔

  • @alexdalgleish1061

      Could always put your £100 deposit down to hold that price that bounds to go up soon. You could then have a serious think. Model 3 LR price is up £6500 since I ordered my Y in October. Hope Stockport have a test car. My local centre ( Chelmsford) have two.

    Hi, as Tesla owners how would you rate Teslas customer service/ care? I haven't yet bought an ev ( just haven't found one I like that fits the bill mainly) I'm used to good customer service as in if I telephone or walk into the dealership I am always attended to pretty much straight away because I guess they want my business! Today I tried to telephone my local Tesla showroom just to inquire and was greeted by the message "you can expect a wait of over 20 minutes " ! I thought really? Then hung up. Was that it and that was after pressing option 3 to buy or enquire about a new car...wow £50-60k and they were going to keep me hanging on the phone for 20 minutes +.. is this normal for Tesla?

    Is your model 3 very noisy because from the video it sounds horrendously noisy? I love the shape of the Y and space in the back is superb. Unfortunately I don’t think it looks classy, a bit cheap looking, it’s no Mercedes’ or BMW or even a Kia EV6

    • @EvClaireScott

    A most interesting video. I picked up my model 3 in October 2021, the question is how much money will potentially be lost trading in M3 to MY in such a short time frame? Is the model Y worth the extra money?

    • @EvClaireScott
      @EvClaireScott  2 года назад +1

      As it stands ours hasn't lost anything. We can get back exactly what we bought it for which is great. They really do hold there value. This is what we have to consider is the Y really worth paying out more.

    Good video thanks and nice to see the common sense 'real world' observations on Tesla ownership. I'm about to get my first Tesla - a model Y LR - I went for the Y for the extra boot space and larger rear passenger space (and the flat back bench). Keep the videos coming!

      No we still have our Model 3. We worked out that the extra space yes its great but on a day to day basis we don't need it. And for us to order one would cost us a extra £10k. Not worth it at moment.

      @@EvClaireScott we were exactly the same the extra 10 seemed a lot, we had a model 3 on order, until last week when the standard range Y was announced, only 2/3k more which seemed better. So we cancelled and ordered the Y. Don’t do a great deal of mileage other then the odd trip away so the shorter range won’t be a issue i think

    Great video once again guys 👏, for some reason the Model Y looks a lot bigger on video than what it does on an Auto trader advert, really is growing on me but the price of it kinda pushes me away, trying to talk the wife into going into a full EV, sorry for intruding but what kind of finance deal you manage to get on your own model 3? I’ve spec’d a standard range plus with upgraded alloys and the same colour as yours and it’s coming in round the 45k mark.

      @Richard Pearson very fortunate to get it for that price. It was only after we picked up they put the price up. The cars still worth more though, so if you can go for it. You would not regret it. This is our 2nd ev but by far the best 👌 thing we did picking this over others we tried.
