@@CARBONHAWK1 are you comparing a "sports car" to a crossover? for 42k you cant afford any of the special models, so any muscle car for the same price will be slower, smaller and slower around a track.

@@ogdastarwalker8341 expect to lose ~20% of battery max during winter time. If you like to do 0-60 in 5 sec, expect to lose a lot of range too. Drive it gently, charge it between 30%-80% should be ok for your daily drive. Nothing to scare about.
@@ogdastarwalker8341 It depends on you. If you love electric car, love technology, and drive A LOT (Really A lot) this is the car for you. No engine to worry about, no oil service needed, you charge it during the night and drive it during the day, super charge is not convenient but it charges the car pretty fast enough for you to drive to the next destination, basic autopilot does more than normal car Advance Driver Assist, full autopilot is even further, Cabin noise is quiet when driving in town but noisier for highway (Wind noise + Road noise). I can't say it is worth all the money, this car is so expensive, but it will give you the feeling of excitement of driving and technology.
Thank you so much for doing a comprehensive test drive of my favorite car and configuration. I can enjoy going on this virtual test drive as many times as I want. No other reviewer has this unique and special perspective. That’s why you’re one of my favorite channels.
Bro you specifically mention ASMR on the snow, but half the reason I watch this channel (and Winding Road) is all of the button clicks and rubbing fabric. The whole video is ASMR!
I've driven a couple different Model 3s - an early RWD model and a Dual Motor model. The Dual Motor also had the white interior like this Model Y, and it does have a wow-factor. They were a lot of fun but definitely would take some getting used to. The power in the Dual Motor is so instantaneous. You've gotta warn the passengers before stepping on it!
Not the EV for me personally (interior, setup and features just aren’t to my taste, and the build quality issues would be deal breakers for me), but I do admire Tesla’s creativity and originality and just how much they’ve set themselves apart from the rest of the industry. Their cars don’t exactly stand out in ways that I value, but I gotta give them credit where it’s due. Wish other automakers would approach their cars with the same sense of creativity and originality that Tesla does.
I was weary of the Model 3 interior at first but I have to say... after living with it for about a month now (my 2021 Model 3 SR+ with the standard black interior) it’s hard for me to imagine going back to a cluttered / chaotic traditional interior layout. Most things that I thought would bother me about the Model 3 surprisingly haven’t at all. Also the build quality on mine is top notch... in some cars there are definitely panel gap issues but my car is built quite well. Frankly my only problem is that I compulsively check my Tesla app when it’s charging in the garage. 😂 You should drive one for a bit, might sway your opinion!
@@tilted4fun805 Admittedly, I’ve sat in one but I’ve never driven one. Personally, though, I’d rather my car just be a car than a tablet on wheels. But that’s just me, though, and nothing against those who love their Tesla’s like yourself.
@@tilted4fun805my wife has a model 3 and I hated it every single minute of driving it. In fact I hate it more each day now I rather take a bus than driving the Tesla
This car wasn't my favorite but it is very cool to see where we are with technology. The interior leaves something to be desired but the tech and experience outweighs the price point. If your a fan you'll love this.
Finally a review of the model Y that actually focuses on driving dynamics!! I have a 2019 model 3 long range awd, my main issues are lack of steering feedback but I hate just about all electric steering systems and the road noise is bad. I test drove a model Y and it was definitely much quieter. Other than that it hauls ass, gets better with each update.
The experience of driving a Tesla always reminds me of driving a toy car when I was a child. This thing has a feeling of unseriousness due to the minimalist style.
I have driven both, the model Y feels slightly top heavy. the model 3 feels SOOOO much better in turns. If you think the model Y handles awesome wait until you drive the model 3 you're going to be blown away on how the model 3 handles
I was looking for you to drive a modern Tesla. btw I still prefer to have physical buttons for basic things, not everything is convenient to do on a touch screen while driving
I agree, it's the one thing I really don't like about the newer tesla's. Everything is on the touch screen and there are just some things that shouldn't be. Windshield wiper delay option. Climate control etc those should be easy to reach easy to operate with gloves on. Now they say voice control has gotten better so that may help with that. But how long would it take you to say okay Tesla increase wiper setting to two. Versus simply hitting a button. Same thing with the door lock and unlock is on the screen, and to me the door handle exit option and entry for that matter are also not great. When you have people grabbing the emergency release open the door because that's the obvious thing to grab you made a poor design choice. The door handles on the outside are also not exactly intuitive. Those are the things I dislike but man the power train and battery technology they absolutely have that nailed. So like a lot of things in life you have to pick do the things that you like counter the things that you dislike. Could you live with it?
First review I have seen where the attention is on the CAR not on the reviewer. It's okay to have the reviewer in some of the shots, but primarily, I want to see the car. Thanks for a great review!!
@@Sebastianvalen for bigger families it is. And it’s a $4000 difference when you compare standard range RWD. You’re comparing RWD standard M3 with an AWD LR MY
4:08 tbh, if I paid $50K for a car, I'd be very concerned about its quality. One of main reasons preventing me from buying a Tesla along with Tesla's tight grip on third-party repairs.
i mean why would you even care about 3rd party repairs? Tesla literally come to your house and repair whatever is needed. You go into the app and make an appointment and done. you don't need to take the day off, sit inside a repair shop for 1h waiting for that small fix and then dive back.
@@ZekeMagnum Big issues on Teslas can be challenging and expensive to fix. Also Tesla is terrible about customer service, and abandoned an entire department dedicated to such. It will often take long times to fix. I want to be able to fix my own car, and your times are completely made up. Living remotely, that would be an issue. I own a Model 3 Performance and will not be keeping it long-term to avoid such issues.
@@alh06 I've heard Tesla's support has greatly improved overtime. I know people with 0 quality issues on their new Teslas. Compared to say an year or two ago they've definitely upped their game.
TheTopher - Chances are wherever you live you have better roads than us in Michigan Me in Illinois - Yeah my car's suspension can relate to you LOL Chicago city roads are the absolute worse!
I have less then a year left on my lease, I currently have a 18” bmw 340. I have been looking at the new 340 but I think this video just put me over the edge to go Tesla.
Man for the past week I was looking for any Lexus RX videos or Tesla Model Y videos that you may have uploaded, but I could not find any. Then, you uploaded both a Lexus RX video and a Tesla Model Y video back to back for the past two days. What are the odds lol!
Which one are you going to get? We have a 2010 RX. I’m not impressed w the current RX. I really want to get an ev, but the MY is really noisy on the hwy. I’m thinking maybe a used etron for the isolated hwy ride, but the range is pretty horrendous....
The best way to take over from autopilot is not to jerk the wheel, but rather just using braking input, or even using the turn signal. Both these actions will make autopilot surrender control, and not lead to a maneuver that could cause an accident.
For the money, this is currently the best vehicle on the planet in the SUV sector. Add to it that it is also the safest, quickest and roomiest in its class and... I want 2.
I've owned a Tesla Model 3 for going on 3 years now. I have a white vegan leather interior. I've spilled coffee, ketchup, everything you can imagine on it, and it's all wiped off from microfiber cloth. I've never once had to treat it with leather treatment. It is durable and Beyond what real leather can do. Just like the car itself. Out performs everything else.
This model Y size is perfect. I tested drove Model 3, I got problem with my knee up against the steering wheel and it's very hard to fine a comfort driving position on the Model 3. (For me)
Considering all the weight that is battery, this isn't an overweight vehicle at all. I thought your opinion on the drive was quite accurate and matched my experience precisely. I'm 9 days in on my M3 Long Range and find the sense of freedom it gives me is very enticing. I got lucky and scored one that seems just about perfect. Big surprise! I'm curious how major manufactures are going to implement maintenance scheduling. That's a major cash cow for ICE vehicles and absolutely not needed in an EV.
Well its been a tick over a month and I'm truly impressed. Serenity is the word that best describes my driving experience. Don't know how to manipulate the lights yet cause I just leave it on AUTO along with the air and wipers. Works just the way I want so nothing to adjust. Useful information is readily displayed, mapping is superior and charging is effortless. I'm driving a superior vehicle, no doubt about it! I can understand why they don't advertise because they sell all they make and getting more people to try this car would just create a PR nightmare. If you try it, you'll buy it, an absolute no brainier. The S was first introduced in June 2012 and to think what Tesla has done since then just boggles my mind. I'll probably end up one of those Teslanaires recently mentioned even if it's on a moderate level. VW and GM among others have a huge hurdle to overcome and many are just not going to survive the changeover.
I personally prefer the Model 3 over the Model Y, but I would only get the Model Y if I need more storage space. I don’t have a Tesla yet, but I have test driven a Model 3 and loved it, Model Y is yet to be test driven
Glad you called out the wheels; I can't stand the whole "swirly" (or, in Tesla's case, "turbine") wheel trend, and I've only seen two OEM Tesla wheels that have looked good: the 18" split 5-spokes on the original Model S and the 18" "Aero" wheels on the Model 3 once the covers have been removed - a GREAT looking wheel.
The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't have apple carplay. This would be the perfect car for me if they added a regular gauge cluster and added the ability to make the full screen apple car play. That would make the Model Y an instant buy
Lol, I just watched your previous Tesla video a little over an hour ago, in search of any of their reviews that you had done. Quite a "speak of the devil" moment.
Beautiful demo. I recently test drove the same model and my love for this vehicle doubled. I always felt a simple heads-up display would be nice. Speed and gear position.
Amazingly articulate and orderly in the thread of the presentation. Not easy to do, especially when driving while trying to reflect on the drive itself. Well done.
We took the kids out to test drive a 2021 Toyota Sienna XSE AWD, then the next day we drove the model Y 7 seater and the kids fell in love with it. We stopped looking and wait for the Green Act, then place an order.
Would like to hear his response to this as well! Just from computer audio, it sounds probably about on par with the more low-end, but premium audio systems. I'd say it definitely doesn't compare to the Bowers & Wilkens/Burmester/Bang & Olufsen high end systems... It's hard to say without being in the car though, or at least with high end headphones, that's for sure!
@@DumElite136 Really? Wow. The B&W is one of the highest rated. Guess I'll have to take a listen for myself one of these days. I've never heard the Tesla's sound system in person but I've heard all the others I've mentioned except for the Burmester.
@@lukeheffernan I HIGHLY recommend giving it a shot. Just have to make sure it’s a LR or Performance Tesla with the premium 14 speaker audio. Like I said, one of my favorite. Definitely par / very close with the big dogs. The standard range model 3 / normal speakers are just OK.
Where is all this new electricity coming from. We generally don’t build power plants anymore and if we do it is very costly - environment studies- damage etc. ??? It looks nice, but
I’m not gonna lie, I’m kinda in love with the Model Y. Not sure if you’ll get another chance with it, but would it be possible to do a clip with the “navigate on autopilot” feature?
Tesla need to get some architects and designers on board. Their engineering is there, but the Taycan is the benchmark currently for looks, interior quality and engineering. Loving your highway ramp grand prix's, take care though!
Thanks for the great video of your model Y from 2 years ago. It is now Sept 2023 and I just got my 2023 model Y LR in Aug 2023 and really enjoy the vehicle. Mine is identical to what is explained in this video but I now have HW4 and the newer quality cameras. I do have the 19 inch wheels which is standard and have black interior. It has no bumper sensors so we now rely on Tesla Vision - just cameras. It is not perfect but Parking Assist is adequate for me. Last, I only have Basic Auto Pilot which is at no added cost. I feel EAP and FSD driving assists are too costly as addons and there are things that still need to be worked on to make them better. Thanks again and take care.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Would love to see more in depth of the Autopilot features (navigate on autopilot, stopping at stoplights/stop signs, auto lane change, etc.).
Thetopher, can you comment how height of this POV compares to that of the subaru forester? I found the forester to be higher seating position than its competitors and if the Model Y can achieve that height i may consider it.
I agree sharp looking vehicle but man the battery alone is expensive as hell and just imagine the cost if any of the electronic stuff goes bad. Plus who knows how long all of it is going to last. Time will only tell though
@TheTopher Would really love to see you drive one of the last top end trimmed Malibu's before the car gets scrapped. It's what I drive and I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on it. I own a 2016 Malibu Premier but they don't really change it much. You've driven Fusions, Camry's and Accords but I haven't seen you do a Malibu yet!
Probably getting this model in the next year or so. If only Lexus would update their cars and make an electric car. But until then, I'll go with a Tesla.
I’m not an engineer, but you probably would be, yes. Although, the way Tesla’s work is that they are a single transmission. So there is only one gear. On the new Porsche Taycan, is does have two gears. So I don’t see why not...

@@troymokwe18 haha lol, thanks for watching!!
I like how he giggles ("hehehehehe" at 7:21)
The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't have apple carplay. This would be the perfect car for me if they added a regular gauge cluster and added the ability to make the full screen apple car play. That would make the Model Y an instant buy
Ya that downside of the Tesla but I don’t mind at all.
Steering wheel reminds me of the 89' Supra wheel. One year only pre airbag redesign. I approve.
Great video, appreciated the long length. Will buy one once reliability/build quality is finally sorted out but very nice car.
I’m thinking about getting a used 2019 or 2020 model Y, the sound system is honestly what I always wanted to know and this video answers it
Addicted to your videos. You quickly took my spot as number 1 car reviewer.
My only complaint is the lack of patented Topher rev match downshifts :)
Lol, I just watched your previous Tesla video a little over an hour ago, in search of any of their reviews that you had done.
Quite a "speak of the devil" moment.
Actually Tesla model y is My dream car
Beautiful demo. I recently test drove the same model and my love for this vehicle doubled. I always felt a simple heads-up display would be nice. Speed and gear position.
Amazingly articulate and orderly in the thread of the presentation. Not easy to do, especially when driving while trying to reflect on the drive itself. Well done.
Hey man you could please try to get behind the wheel of a Mustang Mach-E?
SOOOO happy you’ve posted this. I have been WAITING!!!!!
These Teslas are everywhere, notably this and the Model 3
I wish they come out a Model 3 wagon then I’ll think about it.
Lol it'd look really wonky, like the Golf 8 wagon haha
@@UsgBifJgpwltA it’s doesn’t matter I really like Tesla unless they comes out a wagon I might buy it though.
@@rileypart1 literally the purpose of the model y 🤦🏾♂️
same , like a big wagon like the rs6 wagon or the e class wagon not those little gay ones
Lower the model y. Problem solved.
Double half tap down on drive selector to engage autopilot. Great review!
We took the kids out to test drive a 2021 Toyota Sienna XSE AWD, then the next day we drove the model Y 7 seater and the kids fell in love with it. We stopped looking and wait for the Green Act, then place an order.
How did the sound system compare to competition such as Volvo B&W, Lexus ML, or Acura’s ELS 3D? Very curious!!!!
Would like to hear his response to this as well! Just from computer audio, it sounds probably about on par with the more low-end, but premium audio systems. I'd say it definitely doesn't compare to the Bowers & Wilkens/Burmester/Bang & Olufsen high end systems... It's hard to say without being in the car though, or at least with high end headphones, that's for sure!
@@lukeheffernan In my experience, I liked it better than B&W.
@@DumElite136 Really? Wow. The B&W is one of the highest rated. Guess I'll have to take a listen for myself one of these days. I've never heard the Tesla's sound system in person but I've heard all the others I've mentioned except for the Burmester.
@@lukeheffernan I HIGHLY recommend giving it a shot.
Just have to make sure it’s a LR or Performance Tesla with the premium 14 speaker audio.
Like I said, one of my favorite. Definitely par / very close with the big dogs.
The standard range model 3 / normal speakers are just OK.
@@DumElite136 what about b&o, if you had the chance to compare?
This car is beautiful, i can’t wait to own one :)
Where is all this new electricity coming from. We generally don’t build power plants anymore and if we do it is very costly - environment studies- damage etc. ??? It looks nice, but
I’m not gonna lie, I’m kinda in love with the Model Y. Not sure if you’ll get another chance with it, but would it be possible to do a clip with the “navigate on autopilot” feature?
You need to press the stalk down twice succeedingly to activate autopilot.
Buttons and knobs will always be superior
When you put (ASMR) at 3:34, it had me laughing for 15 minutes....straight....Thank you for that!
I love this car!
Tesla need to get some architects and designers on board. Their engineering is there, but the Taycan is the benchmark currently for looks, interior quality and engineering. Loving your highway ramp grand prix's, take care though!
WHY is that right rear seat ALWAYS mis-aligned?
Passenger rear seat misaligned. Common issue on Model Y and apparently isn't fixed yet.
Had heard it was fixed months ago. but these latest reviews say otherwise. Do they say this is ‘in spec’?
Thanks for the great video of your model Y from 2 years ago. It is now Sept 2023 and I just got my 2023 model Y LR in Aug 2023 and really enjoy the vehicle.
Mine is identical to what is explained in this video but I now have HW4 and the newer quality cameras. I do have the 19 inch wheels which is standard and have black interior.
It has no bumper sensors so we now rely on Tesla Vision - just cameras. It is not perfect but Parking Assist is adequate for me.
Last, I only have Basic Auto Pilot which is at no added cost. I feel EAP and FSD driving assists are too costly as addons and there are things that still need to be worked on to make them better.
Thanks again and take care.
That exhaust note at 8:20👀😭🔥🤙🏽
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Would love to see more in depth of the Autopilot features (navigate on autopilot, stopping at stoplights/stop signs, auto lane change, etc.).
Sounds just likes it's coming thru my headset. Great sound.
Topher 2024
is it just me, or does chris sound a TON like Dave2D?
I cant unhear it now 😂😂
Great review Topher! How does autopilot compare with the other leading brands?
Also*** new model y standard available at under 42k now on website
Soon I will definitely get one, hopefully by then they have 400 miles range.
Don’t push the charge port door down it closes automatically
Yeah but I mean like you can still close it yourself
@@Nathan-rs2sb no that brakes the little motor for it. Had that before
@TheTopher Model Y is my favored car!
Thetopher, can you comment how height of this POV compares to that of the subaru forester? I found the forester to be higher seating position than its competitors and if the Model Y can achieve that height i may consider it.
These are cool but...
All I can see is, that's gonna be expensive when it breaks.
@dragon Car does work without touchscreen. Tesla also has roadside assistance. But yeah, it's a bit scary to have everything on one screen
I agree sharp looking vehicle but man the battery alone is expensive as hell and just imagine the cost if any of the electronic stuff goes bad. Plus who knows how long all of it is going to last. Time will only tell though
i will feel awkward because there's no sound of engine and no speedometer.
Max acceleration runs with snow on the road - what could possibly go wrong 😀
@TheTopher
Would really love to see you drive one of the last top end trimmed Malibu's before the car gets scrapped. It's what I drive and I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on it. I own a 2016 Malibu Premier but they don't really change it much. You've driven Fusions, Camry's and Accords but I haven't seen you do a Malibu yet!
If you or Charlie are ever in Scottsdale, you can drive my model 3 dual motor anytime!!
Probably getting this model in the next year or so.
If only Lexus would update their cars and make an electric car. But until then, I'll go with a Tesla.
1:35 notice the top right of the window as the door closes... it looks like it won’t align properly and then magically does. QC issue?
Thats because the window lowers slightly when you open the door.
Frameless doors.the glass dips a little to unlock the seal and then go back into place once the door is closed.just like a 2 door coupe or sports car👍
Never heard so much wind noise during your premium audio sound !
Dream suv 🖤
Amazing video!
This might be a dumb question..But does anyone think its possible to engineer an electric car with a manual transmission?
I’m not an engineer, but you probably would be, yes. Although, the way Tesla’s work is that they are a single transmission. So there is only one gear. On the new Porsche Taycan, is does have two gears. So I don’t see why not...
If you look back in history,some EVs had manuals but all they do is increase the amount of speed instead of actually shifting 👍
4:37 YO THE SLAM ON THAT DOOR HOLY SHIT
The entire car looks relaxing :) I love minimalism
It is. With the fantastic sound system, white interior, and glass roof, it is incredibly soothing to drive.
