Nice none biased video so fed up with all these other RUclips channels filled with Tesla "FANBOYS " hype about Tesla like it's the ONLY EV and only perfect car . I saw a video of a Montrealer in Canada 🇨🇦his Tesla wouldn't start and wouldn't charge even inside his garage and neither did a loaner Tesla .
As for Tesla or any EV have no desire to buy as everything is way too expensive and no long term reliability data especially for cold weather driving or battery life .. Too much computerized crap everytime you need to use touchscreen computer for changing gears to opening gloves. And too much PROPRIETARY you can only go to Tesla for most minor to major repairs and maintenance and repairs cost a fortune and so will insurance
Tesla's are actually not proven to be more safe. they actually have more accidents than ice vehicles. which is why the average monthly insurance rate for them is $100 above most ice vehicles.
definitely felt like a hugely biased video. the supercharger point should have been a con. even if there are a ton, they are in no way convenient when compared to using a ICE vehicle and stopping at gas stations on a road trip.
Cons: No cooled seats, no 360 view, headlights don’t automatically turn on with windshield wipers, distance to service center, rims curb rash easily, lots of Tesla haters, cost of FSD, homelink optional and expensive, suspension (ride) tuning poor, higher insurance cost. And the worst Con of all, once you drive a Tesla, you’ll never drive anything else.
@@Superman-xr1oh Not correct. The two side cameras and the rear camera can be viewed on the screen at any time. Just push the right scroll wheel and say “Show cameras” or “Show rear camera” and it will stay on the screen until you dismiss it. Almost everything in a Tesla can be controlled by voice and the syntax of the command is not critical. I love this capability as I have monocular vision making it almost impossible to use a touchscreen while driving due to poor depth perception. Tesla is one of the few modern cars I feel comfortable with.
@@Superman-xr1oh Not clear what you mean by "rear view mirror camera that's always on." What does that do? Which car has it? Are you talking about in-cabin camera?
@@Trust_but_Verify I have and there ant a whole lot of options but either they ain't coming out with a EV for a while still or their range is a lot less and that, I don't need a car at the moment so I can wait but ya
Reasons to own a car with an internal combustion engine: -Time to gas up is 10 mins. or less -Replacing a bad battery may only costs up to $250.00 -More gasoline stations exist (& are easily accessible) from LA to Vegas. -I'd rather own a hybrid than a fully electrical vehicle in case the battery to the electric motor goes dead, I can still rely on the gasoline engine to run without that motor.
This video was a game changer for us. We were on the fence about getting the Model Y, but your video convinced us to take the leap and we just ordered one. Thanks for the great work, also just subscribed!! 🙌🏻
If you haven't had the opportunity, test drive one if you have a dealer in your area. I've always driven a manual and have a 22 Camaro. I enjoy driving my Y, especially after a long work day. I'm thoroughly impressed with this vehicle and glad I made the jump to electric.
@Oryo101 I'm a car girl. I like my Camaro which is pure engine, the sound makes my heart skip a beat, it's a 6-speed manual, and sheer American muscle. Then I have my quiet Tesla which is a computer on wheels that smokes 🚬 the average car like a cigar. I like each vehicle for different reasons.
I love my Tesla Model 3 but the biggest con for me is not having a 360 view camera! I missit so much and now have trouble parking not having that feature that I am use to.
Tesla 2nd hand market price is bad, Elon keep putting a new advance tech onto a new model every year or so. Unlike my ICE car which they added nothing major at all even 5 year past so you fell like your car is not much difference from this new one that about to release 😂
Ride quality is not that good compared to other cars in its class. The suspension is quite firm - both on the Long Range and Performance. The wheels & tires don’t make much of a difference. You feel every bump & imperfection on the Model Y and Model 3.
I would by an EV if it met these : 1- no toxic byproducts from making batteries 2 - no battery degradation in cold weather 3-500 mile range 4 - regular steering wheel, instrumentation cluster in front of driver ,gear shift lever in normal place where you find manual gearshift ,HVAC controls 3 big round bezzel switches , 5- computer touch screen for GPS mapping and reverse camera 6 - DIESEL ELECTRIC hybrid would be fantastic . 7- new battery charging technology battery charges from 0% to100% in 10 minutes instead of hours 8- safety seats and seat belts like fighter pilots have 9 auto safety pilot computer and camera detect driver unconscious drive vehicle to safe spot call EMS
@@victormendez3860 a petrol car. in fact lets have a challenge. ill jump in my car nd go up to the nearest mountoun peak and then come back, in fact even if my car is on E i can go anywhere i want and still be on time. EV however can't do jack sh't without hours of preplaning and charging.
@@deficator750 How many parts have you had to fix on that crappy ICE vehicle??? Belts, O2 Sensor, Alternator, Water Pump, Gas Pump etc Once you finally figure out what the issue is with all the moving parts then you have to wait for mechanics on top of paying for gas? That's what you prefer? Oh let me guess you're a DIY guy that thinks he's saving money because he takes hours of his time to fix these problems? LOL 🤡
😂😂😂@8:57 is just lies. This is not true. I wish someone would actually do a little research into this. No one likes to talk about the truth. The vast majority of Tesla repairs are on par with the rest of the industry and do not take as long as you believe and cost about the same. The public is woefully uneducated on the body shop / insurance industry and how things actually work when it comes to repairing a vehicle. Blaming Tesla is easy when you run a crummy operation and have cut rate insurance. Each repair is unique and safety is priority to Tesla. Take your car to cheapest jerk on the corner and see if it gets repaired right. A layman looks a sideswipe and thinks yeah that should only cost a few hundred dollars 😂😂😂😂structural damage, facility cost, labor, materials, parts, technician...goes on and on, but yeah that should only be like a few days in the shop. Tesla has one of the best repair networks among any OEM. They only partner with the best. So tired of hearing these lies.
Just do your own test drive to see the poor interior colors and feel the uncomfortable seats. It feels like an economy car inside with ugly interiors but high luxury car prices.

lmaoo that last one is so true
No rear view mirror camera either.

@@DiscoveryOwners I'm talking about a rear view mirror camera that's always on.
And ventilated seats would be nice...
@@Superman-xr1oh Not clear what you mean by "rear view mirror camera that's always on." What does that do? Which car has it? Are you talking about in-cabin camera?
Pro - not freezing your butt filling gas tank up in fridged temps every week all winter
yeah apprently teslas are the only cars with heated seats and AC
@@deficator750 let me guess... You have not fueled a car in the middle of a snow storm. It's not fun to stand there next to the hose
@@victormendez3860 yeah because snow storms are a normal thing people encounter at the gas station.
@@deficator750 The point is this old OP fella is making is he doesn't have to get out of his car to pump gas and waste his money.
tesla range is not that good
I don’t understand the idea of hating a Tesla. It’s just a car
the biggest con for me is the lack of service centres around me i would have to go interstate for anything really
Which likely also means very far away shops that could body repair Teslas. What about other EV dealerships?
@@Trust_but_Verify I have and there ant a whole lot of options but either they ain't coming out with a EV for a while still or their range is a lot less and that, I don't need a car at the moment so I can wait but ya
Not having a spare wheel in the back. Still amazed on that.
Was stuck on the highway for hrs cause of this 😭
Most all electric cars for some reason never have a spare…..not really sure why.
It’s a new thing for new cars. Many new cars don’t have spare wheel again
I had a Toyota Corolla hybrid, it didn't have a spare tire either. I don't think new cars have spares anymore.
Reasons to own a car with an internal combustion engine:
-Time to gas up is 10 mins. or less
-Replacing a bad battery may only costs up to $250.00
-More gasoline stations exist (& are easily accessible) from LA to Vegas.
-I'd rather own a hybrid than a fully electrical vehicle in case the battery to the electric motor goes dead,
I can still rely on the gasoline engine to run without that motor.
What about not having parking sensors as a con?
Agree, it's a shame they removed it.
I would say it’s temporarily a con since Tesla will release an update in the future that will enable the cameras to measure distance
Can we get then to prioritize it?
@@rmyoutube9683like on the next update would be nice
This has been solved with a recent update
This video was a game changer for us. We were on the fence about getting the Model Y, but your video convinced us to take the leap and we just ordered one. Thanks for the great work, also just subscribed!! 🙌🏻
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad this video was helpful
If you haven't had the opportunity, test drive one if you have a dealer in your area. I've always driven a manual and have a 22 Camaro. I enjoy driving my Y, especially after a long work day. I'm thoroughly impressed with this vehicle and glad I made the jump to electric.
I would love to hear your final thoughts after purchasing the Tesla
@Oryo101 I'm a car girl. I like my Camaro which is pure engine, the sound makes my heart skip a beat, it's a 6-speed manual, and sheer American muscle. Then I have my quiet Tesla which is a computer on wheels that smokes 🚬 the average car like a cigar. I like each vehicle for different reasons.
@@darlenab.7179 If you had to choose just one out of these two which would it be?
I just bought one. Got it last week. Brand new Model Y long range in glorious Blue. I’m so happy.
Congrats! Blue is amazing
Excellent video. Thank you!
I love my Tesla Model 3 but the biggest con for me is not having a 360 view camera! I missit so much and now have trouble parking not having that feature that I am use to.
Agree, hopefully it will be updated soon since it has all the cameras to produce a 360 view.
Maybe if you live more simple you wouldn’t have that problem. Stop depending on technology to get you through life
Con - no bidirectional charging so can’t run house off car during power outage. Need a Ford for that.
I wouldn’t want to do that, a generator would be best.
The competitions range is a lot better than Tesla’s now. Kind of blown away on some of these other EV cars for Tesla.
True. The competition has significantly improved and I’m looking at alternatives to Teslas right now
Tesla 2nd hand market price is bad, Elon keep putting a new advance tech onto a new model every year or so. Unlike my ICE car which they added nothing major at all even 5 year past so you fell like your car is not much difference from this new one that about to release 😂
What about the ride quality? I heard it can be bumpy due to the stiff suspension
Ride quality is not that good compared to other cars in its class. The suspension is quite firm - both on the Long Range and Performance. The wheels & tires don’t make much of a difference. You feel every bump & imperfection on the Model Y and Model 3.
@@MattDanadel Like what? Give some comparisons.
Is no one talking about how he call the hood of the car the frunk?!
Yeah it’s the front trunk. Frunk. That’s what Tesla calls it lol
Nice wheel covers on ur Tesla 👌.
The wheels don’t have covers. It’s the stock 21” Überturbine wheels
my opinion, just an uncomfortable car
Compared to other cars in its class, I 100% agree.
@@MattDanadelwhat cars please gimme examples
Con: No ventilated seats. Living in the desert where it gets into the high triple digits sucks.
White interior + tinted windows or sunshade goes a long, long way.
@@deputydon I guess but it doesn't really replace ventilated or even cooled seats.
Cooled seats would be even better than ventilated ones.
The new Model 3 has it now pessimist
I would by an EV if it met these :
1- no toxic byproducts from making batteries
2 - no battery degradation in cold weather
3-500 mile range
4 - regular steering wheel, instrumentation cluster in front of driver ,gear shift lever in normal place where you find manual gearshift ,HVAC controls 3 big round bezzel switches ,
5- computer touch screen for GPS mapping and reverse camera
6 - DIESEL ELECTRIC hybrid would be fantastic .
7- new battery charging technology battery charges from 0% to100% in 10 minutes instead of hours
8- safety seats and seat belts like fighter pilots have
9 auto safety pilot computer and camera detect driver unconscious drive vehicle to safe spot call EMS
There is nothing that exists to charge a Tesla in minuets…
@@quinn758 thats the biggest setback to EVs
