Tesla Model Y: 10 Facts You Probably Didn't Know
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- The Tesla Model Y is the result of nearly 17 years of automotive innovation. This practical crossover is the most technologically advanced vehicle ever built by Tesla Motors, and is arguably the most sophisticated vehicle in its price range in the entire world. The perfect choice for those who want to drive a spacious, impressively intelligent, extremely safe electric car but want a bit more room than the model 3 sedan.

Thanks to Sandy Munro for the Tesla Model Y vehicle teardown:

The Tesla Model Y performance model, equipped with all wheel drive dual independent motors has a range of 315 miles, a top speed of 145 MPH, and accelerates from 0-60 MPH in 3.5 seconds.
7.1 inches taller than the universally acclaimed and best selling Model 3, the model Y is built on the same platform and contains approximately 70% of the parts you can find on its smaller, yet older, brother. Only a couple of inches longer and almost 3 inches wider, Tesla’s new poster child is a compact crossover utility vehicle that looks very similar to the Model 3. The Model Y’s hatchback design is the main differentiator from the traditional trunked sedan of the model 3 .
Even though the front induction motor of the model Y looks identical to the one in the Model 3 because the external housing has the same exact design, what’s inside is different. And, as the famed auto engineer Sandy Munro found out, there have been some manufacturing efficiencies added. The expensive copper rotor has been replaced by a cast-in-place aluminum assembly that reduces the overall cost of production, but maintains the functionality of the motor. We know that the performance version of the model Y uses the same motor configuration as the Model 3, with a more efficient permanent magnet motor in the back, and an induction unit up front.
The falcon wing door design was patented by the Mercedes-Benz in 1952 for the 300SL race car but in the EV universe we now associate it with the Tesla Model X SUV. Tesla engineers decided to go for the regular outwards opening doors on the Tesla Model Y.
The Tesla Model Y is the first Tesla vehicle to use a heat pump for interior cabin heating and cooling, which can improve vehicle efficiency compared to Tesla’s previous models that use electrical resistance to keep the car’s interior warm and toasty. A Heat Pump is a device that transfers thermal energy, and can be used for heating, or in reverse for air conditioning.
Potentially one of thee most advanced pieces of new engineering in the vehicle, the Model Y’s heat pump contains a motorized “octovalve” that distributes coolant to all of the vehicles components.
With the rear seats completely folded down flat, the model Y offers 68 cubic feet of storage space, a whooping jump from the 15 cubic feet of the Model 3.
The Model Y’s underbody has a revolutionary two-piece casting and by the end of the year, Musk said that they intend to make the entire underbody out of one single part. This ambitious project is the only one of its kind because “There is no casting of the size and complexity that has ever been done before.”, as Elon stated. To put it into context, the Model 3’s underbody is made out of 70 different metal parts welded together.
On the Model Y interior, there is a beautifully aesthetic single pane glass roof that ties together seamlessly with its minimalist interior. On the Model 3 we experienced a view partially obstructed by a center brace.
Seeing the popularity of aftermarket companies that have created dedicated kits to cover the chrome accents on other Teslas, namely the Model 3, Model S and Model X, the designers thought it would be a cool look to include the “chrome delete” as a standard feature of the Model Y delivery. Therefore, everything from the pillar trim, side mirrors, door handles, blinkers and a few other accents are painted in matte black for a sleek, minimalist appearance.
As Sandy Munro discovered in some of his legendary “car dismembering” videos, the frame of the Model Y is much more solid than the one present in the Model 3 that, if you were paying attention, already scored “perfect” on the IIHS’s safety tests. The main feature that stood out (literally) was a so called “tusk” that is intended to absorb all the shock from a possible front crash and distribute it evenly throughout the body of the vehicle.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicts that the new Model Y will become the best-selling product ever, and he might be right. Jay Leno likes it too!
There are four powertrains for the Model Y: Standard Range, Long Range, Long Range with Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive, and Performance. The Model Y will offer optional third-row seats for a seven-passenger seating capacity.

Got my Y and it's perfect. NO quality complaints!!! I have a 3 but the Y is even better
You should post a video. Seems like everyone who has a panel gap or paint issue is posting a video and the people who aren't finding issues don't post videos. I'm getting mine next week. Can't wait!
Man, you got a rare example! Consider yourself very lucky.
@@PhilT993 How do you know that it is rare?
@@PhilT993 No, he is not luck, he is to stupid to actually look closely! ruclips.net/video/Z0r-vC-RHkU/видео.html
I have a 3 and wondering how is suspension performance of Y compared to 3?
Not a fanboy but after seeing this car and waiting for the Cyber Truck, I gotta say it looks awesome and Tesla looks like it has achieved escape velocity.
Ordered 2 days ago. Gonna be the longest 4-8 weeks of my life.
High hopes. If you ordered with white interior, stand in line behind me. I ordered last September.
Ordered mine mid May. As I'm located in Germany I'll have to wait a bit longer. I hope for autumn next year. Fingers crossed. Hope you won't have to wait too long for yours.
@@gonzokryllake4587 ehre, ich hoffe du motivierst damit viele sich auch nen Tesla zu holen, lets go!
Germany here. I wait for the f*** site to be built (Brandenburg / Berlin) in order to build my vehicle! One year + Still: Preordered.
I ordered mine mid may and it was ready a week later.
Spent an hour looking for defects on the Y I just picked up yesterday. Nada. Perfect. Don't believe the haters. This is a phenomenal vehicle. Traded in my 3 to get it and don't regret it for a second. More spacious. Higher seating position. Better proportions. Bravo Elon.
Die Cast Racing with Von extreme cold? Maybe you should move from the antarctic.
@Die Cast Racing with Von luckily in my country I only get rain in summer so I don't get snow
I haven't experienced snow :(
@Die Cast Racing with Von The loss is minimal. I had no issues last winter at all and my Model 3 was better in the snow than our Subarus.
Heard the rear view is very small
It isn't 'haters' who have been complaining about Tesla defects. It's buyers. And what's not to believe? The defects were there. The good news is Tesla seems to have gotten past that problem. My brother-in-law's new Y was delivered last week with no defects.
Your fanboy attitude does nothing but detract from Tesla's reputation. It's great to love Tesla's products -- I do! You can even go ahead and love Musk and the company for all I care -- I don't. Both have more defects than their early cars. But denying problems that really exist, and inventing conspiracy theories or blaming 'haters' just leads reasonable people to ignore you and others who love their Tesla cars.
Be a fan, not a fanboy.
I originally went to test drive the Model3, decided that Model Y is a more suited vehicle for me & my two growing kids/teenagers!
Just got my Y. Inspected it very carefully before paying for it. Found it to be perfect in every way.I think it's the best car I've ever had and driving it is just a thrill. Well done Elon and the Tesla team.
Before paying for it? you mean Test drive?
I've had mine for 6 weeks now and it's the best car I've ever owned!...I like the fact that it looks relatively small on the outside yet it has huge storage space inside. Practical while still being sporty!
Great information, great video. Y will be mine soon. Can’t wait to drive by my first gas station with a smile.
Very informative video. Thanks for producing it.
Just got our Model Y last week, white on white. I love this car, is a game changer. Friends that have tried it love besides the handling and pick-up the one pedal driving. The future is here. Embrace EV not only for the planet but for your pocket.
Have had my Performance Model Y for 4+ months now and it is AWESOME! Game changer...3.5 secs...with room for golf clubs or wake surf board!!!🤘
great video and information, Thanks so much!
We picked up our Y 3 months ago..it is amazing in every way you can imagine.
great content!! keep it up 👍🏽
In love with the Y and have practically no use for one; it's all desire!

I received my Model Y about a month ago and I am amazed by the vehicle.
I have been driving an Audi Q 5 for several years and I thought it the best vehicle I have ever had but the Model Y is truly amazing. It was delivered without any hiccups or at least very few, A delay in getting my factory installed hitch.
If I have any complaints it would be the overview of the vehicle for an old dude who needs more time to absorb the control systems. It would be grand for Tesla to have some pre buy classes, sorta like pre natal classes expectant first parents LOL. It is a brand new baby for sure for most of us.
Thank you Tesla forums!! Your all a godsend like moms for a new grandson or daughter
Thank you Elon for your perseverance and vision !!
I just got my model Y and it is all that they say it is! I love it and I feel like it takes driving to a whole new level. I feel like it’s almost as fast as my new Chevy C8 corvette.
Awesome vid! I think it's awesome to see all of the optimizations that the Y has over the 3, I just hope they can overcome all of the build quality issues that the Y seems to face
Hence, i have been waiting for this a long time.
and a year later after initially watching this video, I just finished watching it again. I also put a Y performance and LR on order. :) Great video!
Ordered two weeks ago and got it last weekend! It came so fast, I wasn't completely ready for it :-) -- But Very Satisfied
Can't wait to get my Model Y!
I ordered a Model Y and it comes today!
Great Vid!!
Took delivery of my Y last week. Love it. Has some build alignment issues (e.g., charger port door and rear hatch) that I hope they’ll rectify next week during my service appointment.
My 3 arrives next week and I’m hoping I don’t have those issues.
Curious when you put your order in and when it actually arrived. Trying to gage if the 4-8 week time frame is actually realistic.
Just picked mine up today and the only issue I noticed was a tiny chip on one of the rims...other than that I didn’t notice any alignment issues (some might complain about rear seat alignment, but its barely noticeable and well within my level of acceptability.) Kinda overcast right now, but I’ll go over the paint with a fine tooth comb once the sun comes back out. As of right now I’m extremely happy. Btw it took 5 weeks from order to delivery.
Same, I bought one and drove it home, then upon closer inspection that very same day, noticed the passenger window doesn't align properly. Love the car but hope they can fix it at my service appt. this week, otherwise I'll be a very disappointed customer. Wish I had the experience all you others had, "perfect, no issues..."
Cool, can’t wait to get my hands on one!
Jay Leno just made a great video about the Model Y!
cool can't wait to watch the Jay Leno Tesla Model Y video.
I love it! Had it been available when I bought my Model 3 in 2018, I would have bought one of these instead due to its more versatile rear cargo-area. I don't regret the 3, however!!
Great video! I’m planning on getting the Cyber Truck! Can’t wait! 😎
The Model Y is looking better and better every time I watch another video about it -- maybe it's time to switch it for my SR+ haha!
I'd say wait till they sort out their quality control for the Model Y, especially after everything goes back to normal. Other than that, Tesla cars are amazing.
I was thinking the exact same thing. My local Tesla showroom gave me a demo ride of the Model Y Performance. That thing is fast! I just don't want to pay the $20k difference with my Model 3 trade-in. I think that I will wait until Fall 2020 when the Model Y Long range comes out. I can handle the $8k difference with my Model 3 trade-in!
Yep
@@rickb1444 did you buy it?
Great video. I didn’t know the heat pump made that big of a difference. I hope it works well. I live in high desert where extreme heat and snow are both hard on being comfortable in cars.
Took a Tesla Y for a test drive and loved it!!
Going on 10 months of ownership and I can now say it’s been PERFECT. It’s now going on my second summer and a full winter and have no complaints. But then I have owned 3 Volts since 2012 and was fully aware of EV limitations and knew what to expect and how to minimized ANY range issues. Turns out the Volt was and is the PERFECT gateway EV for folks moving from ICE to BEV’s.
Nothing new to me. But still enjoyed watching them one more time. Nice video! Go Tesla!
Have a Model 3 single motor and just got a Model Y dual motor. Both great cars. Last summer took a 9,000 mile trip around US (San Diego - Texas - Saint Louis - Niagara Falls - South Dakota - Oregon Coast - Down to San Diego) with Model 3. This summer wanted to do the same but do the Canadian highway back (Virus screwed that up) Well maybe next year with Model Y. Tesla Super Charge network was great. Drove 80%-90% on Autopilot. We sold all our Gas Guzzlers and removed all oil and gas stuff from the garage.
Exceptional Tesla Model Y super cool inside & out :) Stunner !
I’m getting my delivered next month. Great video
Thanks Ryan. Drive it in good health!
Replace the headlights with Cybertruck's 🔥🔥🔥 It would seriously look badass.
Taking delivery in few weeks of my performance. Traded in my X for this beast
Will get one once Giga4 is ready. That means at least 1 year waiting 😩😄
I am a fun of Y .This will be my next car ❤️
I’m more excited about purchasing a Model Y than any other car I have ever owned,I truly believe it is the all round best and safest car in the world.
Thanks for the information, I had no idea this car came with a heat pump...
Tesla said they will be manufacturing Model 3's with heat pumps starting this fall 2020 (they might have started already).
Got my Y too - little scuffs on the seats but lovin’ it
ordered it in april 2019. Will be an amazing car. Can wait for Gigafactory Berlin, but can't wait do drive it ;-).
I
great job !!!!!!!
For the better videos of seen, nice job!
One of the better videos I've seen
I'm a fan. I've had mine almost a month and love it. Still learning new things about it.
Solid video, even after a year
very cool video
Just went to a showroom today. Wow the model Y took my breath away. I want one, but will wait a little bit longer to get one.
Me too, but bought lots of Tesla stock while waiting. $$$$$$$$ profit will pay for model Y.
Very good video
This should be renamed "Model Y Ad extended"
nothing against the car. I love it!
Please let it arrve in Denmark soon, pleeeease ! Awesome review !
Just ordered mine... it’ll be here in 6 weeks
Have driven mine for a couple of months and love it. Came from the factory in prefect condition. Drove my wife's Mercedes and put it in gear. It went nowhere. I forgot to start it!
GOAL - to get Model Y in 2021! Thanks for this video. It helped make my FINAL decision! Just gotta sell my current car ... wish me LUCK!!!!!!!!
Thank you
Got a red one with hitch option. Perfect car in town and on the road.
This is the first Tesla that I feel I must have! NOW!
Model Y is a great vehicle! ❤️
Looks very good
Not here in the UK yet but i cant wait to see one....
Love the car, but I put my order on hold for a bit. After seeing so many people showing the build quality and damage, I will wait until late fall to see if anything changes. Other than that I’m supper excited for it!
Wait a year tbh. 1st gen cars are usually shit
Mine is flawless got it a month ago those losers are just trying to get views
Ordered MY July 17 and took delivery July 26. Didn’t have time to get my charging circuits installed. Life is tough!
Cant wait for Giga Berlin to finish! Want my Model Y!
I am absolutely in love with my Y! Come from a family of car enthusiasts. No other car compares. I can’t say enough good things about it. Great job Elon!! Proud to be driving your product!
The only thing....and I know your trying is to change the GPS. Maps on the iPhone is superior and hopefully you find a way to put smart that. Hahaha. ❤️❤️❤️
Oops out smart
Can't wait for it to come to the UK
Great video. Now do another just like it that is 10 more things about the model Y and include the tech stuff; autopilot, FSD, entertainment, sound system, keyless, the phone app.etc.....
I Will make a more in depth Tesla model Y review when I get my hands on one to film for a couple weeks
Great review! I believe!
What, me worry?
@@jimt29 Took awhile, but I figured it out! 😁
subscribed and thumbs up
Love the model Y
Would love to get one soon 😃 great video.
Just one detail, would you consider adding metric system measurements too for the rest of the non us viewers ? 😉 thanks!
Yes Will try to accommodate in future videos
The Tesla Model Y structure is tougher than the Model 3 structure which already got a 5.0 Star, we might have to review our scales. He literally Break My Scale.
I got Y and love it. My kids call her Lucy. Seven seater long range duel, white and black interior. The best.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am exciting to get my model YLR ,I ordered on January.
Test experienced the 3, Y, and X yesterday. The AC in the 3 and Y was not dissimilar to my daughter’s Hyundai Tucson. Then I drove the X and that AC was arctic chill. I ordered the X immediately.
I received my Blue LR AWD Model Y at the end of April this year and traded my Black Model 3 for it.... I love the car-that said, I am disappointed in finish work panel gaps, recessed door handles, glitchy driver window which has been repaired already.. I just feel that the “luxury” feel is impeded when you notice some of the finish work..
I still enjoy it though.
Yes I’m a fan. Wish I could order one today.
We ordered a LR Sept 1, 2021. Estimated delivery January 2022. Can’t wait to get it
sophisticated here and there. buzz words
I ordered my Model Y today for $3,000 less! My first Tesla ever! Looking forward to feeling the vehicle soon.
....but you paid an extra $1000.00 for auto pilot!
@@jimwilliams5632 its 10,000 extra
I am salivating for this car
I want one of these so bad! 😩😩😍😍😍😍
well i knew all of these, but still entertaining video, well explained. i'm so hyped for model y, i was gonna get a toyota hybrid, since i'm a toyota employee, but instead i've started saving up for when model Y gets madein the giga berlin factory, hoping prices will drop a bit then. with a tad of luck i'd be putting money down for a blue performance y with white interior and a tow hitch. got a dream, now i gotta start working my ass of for it.
Thanks for the insightful comment. Please give me a follow on twitter.com/ElectricFutureY
I’m trying to grow my network on twitter so I can have more knowledgeable people to get feedback from, poll video ideas, and be able to get the attention of big car companies so I can film new EV’s.
Buy Tesla stock Now. $$$$$ towards your new Y later. I am.
Got ours a month ago and love it. Just a few hiccups though. Summon function the car freaked out and needed a firmware fix that took a week at Tesla to. Figure out. Now we have a A/C issue in the cabin and on the display. Not cooling inside and says it’s 145 degrees outside. Need to get this straightened out. Big fan of the vehicle here and know there will be some bugs to work out with software or and firmware updates.
Wish there was a 50 mile battery backup unit as an accessory that was available just in case....
Didn't buy car but did buy shares... growth potential unreal
*The future is ELECTRIC!*
Ordered Model Y on Tuesday and got delivery in 6 days. This is an awesome car.
Oh! Cool 😎
I have had my Model for 6 months. It is everything promised here. I would buy another one in a minute.
We really love our Y. We have three kids and a rear facing baby. Fitting her in behind the driver is tricky. When she's able to be forward facing the car seat situation will be much better. Really wish Tesla made a van. Till then we will appreciate what we have.
We are getting our Model Y on Friday! I can’t wait!
I own a model Y and love it. I do wish that it had a smoother ride.
what rims are those in the thumbnail? they’re fire! i need them!
Impressive and will be amazing with a range of 500+miles ... this new battery shows promise.
Probably one of the most important electric vehicles ever musk goal for sustainable transport is amazing innovative journey
I love my MY!
Model Y getting even better with a new install double pane glass . I was about to receive my Y on 11/4 in Tampa, Vin 61009 and which I released today in order to wait for the double pane glass version (supposedly a vin > 63xxx). This glass is more energy efficient and quieter. Both issues that were present in my Model 3 and worth waiting for as far as I am concerned. Agree with Rick, almost had one in my hand, now another 4 - 8 weeks. Of course Tesla wants to finish the year strong so hopefully Covid won't get in the way of a great year end finish.
I *love* my Model Y!
Test drove the Y last week. Very Loud wind noise >75mile/hour (through the roof). The hatch back slammed down when closing.
