  • We have now put 25,000 miles on our LR AWD Tesla Model Y. What a better time than now to do a review with so many miles.
    We have owned this Tesla Model Y for 11 months now and the 25k miles are broken out between 8,550 miles of road trips, and 16,450 miles of commute and every day driving.
    How has the Tesla Model Y held up during these last 11 months? What has gone wrong, and what has gone great?
    Overall, this review is focused on the true cost of owning the Model Y for 25k miles, the maintenance required, my favorite features, as well as the must have accessories.
    We have traveled far on 4 road trips now, towed a 3k lb plus trailer, camped in the car, and so much more. I am excited to share with you the unbiased full review of this amazing electric family car.

What I have noticed is that it does much better on range when in Chill mode than when in Standard. I think the car is amazing and it is a joy to drive, just wish the basic autopilot had lane change functionality. Hate that I have to exit autopilot when moving out of the way or having to over take. C’mon Elon, give us that functionality.

    So, with Tesla constantly bringing out changes, inprovements, enhancements, corrections, baffling statistics and percentages, your car is out-of-date as soon as you get delivery! You did not cost in the time you spent searching out the extras such as spending hours adding an item that is standard in other cars - door seals. That aside - excellent video.

    I had experience on a 1000 mile rt last week end. On the final portion, my model y said 13% was left with about 25 miles to get to my brother's house and I began to really sweat if we would make it. navigation calculated my arrival with 11%. then about a half way, a warning was flashed up saying 'there are no known charging facilities within range of your batterie's ability to get you there.' There is a real big area in middle south Georgia where there are no charging facilities. Not to fear, trusting Tesla, i rolled up in my Brother's driveway with 11% as Tesla said i would. I immediately converted one of his welding outlets to 14-50 and a full charge by morning.

    Model 3 owner here... I've got the same interior mats and highly recommend. On the hitch, Torklift Central makes one that prices out to $505.68 with the wiring harness ($322 for just the hitch). It's rated for the same 3500 pounds towing capacity (350 pounds tongue weight) that the factory one is. It took me about 3-4 hours working v e r y d e l i b e r a t e l y. I only use it for a bike rack so I did not do the wiring harness. If you're comfortable pulling the bumper cover and the crash bar off, you can save some money and do this one yourself. Make sure you have a torque wrench.

      @@BeardedTeslaGuy I'd still go with the Torklift (not much choice to go aftermarket on an Model 3 anyway); to the best of my knowledge. It bolt's on the same way the stock one does; so much so, that when Tesla started offering a tow package in Europe, I asked the Torklift guys if Tesla was sourcing it from them (they're not; or at least they said they're not). It just boils down to proper installation; tightening the bolts to the proper torque spec; make sure you have a torque wrench.

    After three Model Y test drives over the last year we finally placed an order for a Pearl White on black AWD Dual Motor with 20” wheels this past weekend. As tempting as it is I have always followed my father’s advice to NEVER purchase the first year production of a new model. Besides getting better fit and finish we will be getting all of the new updates like the single rear aluminum casting, laminated windows, auto dimming mirrors, Sentry Mode storage device and USB moved to the glovebox, updated center console, updated taillights/headlamps, etc. I only wish that Tesla would update the old school 12v lead battery to a Li-Ion battery like they did for the refreshed S and X.

    I am a automotive painter. Bumpers not matching is normal. Some colors or worse then others but normal. It's not a tesla problem. Take a drive around any other dealership and you will find new cars with the bumpers not matching. Even in a body shop we can paint the hole front end or rear-end with the bumpers at the same time out of the same gun, same painter and same paint. And like I said some colors will not match perfectly.

    The reason the tires were "terrible" is most likely because they are summer tires. In anything other than really cold winter conditions summer tiers are the best. I used to live in Houston Tx and now live in Dallas and I run summer tires on my car all year round and love them. Except when we had that snow storm a few weeks ago. During that time I had absolutely no traction at all. But I love summer tiers for their grip. Also you said "30k miles on a gas car doesn't sound good" it all depends on the tires. Super sporty summer tires usually last around that maybe a little less (usually i get anywhere from 20k to 30 miles)

      If you have a model 3 p be extremely careful on ice in those factory tires. I am in alabama got mine in Aug. Under 40 degrees they get hard... meaning no grip compared to 60 or 70 degrees. I am waiting on my all weather set to be shipped.

  • @4evergroove

    Nice video. I ordered my car and should receive it next week.
    I have test drove Tesla 4 times before my purchase so take it with a grain of salt.
    A few negatives i noticed while test driving is:
    1. you can’t adjust the headrest. Now that part makes absolutely no sense. I’m not even talking a power adjuster but a regular manual headrest adjustment would be fine with me
    2. No blind spot alert system. Huh???? With all the cameras and features in car no blind spot alert. That is very confusing. Yes I know that the touch screen in car shows cars around and if you turn on indicator it the car next to you will turn red on screen. But that’s the only way. There isn’t no audio alert no visual alert by side view mirrors. This car alerts you audio wise for everything but this one telsa didn’t think would be important
    Now I say this to mention two big cons I have had with car while researching. That being said I still purchased the car. That’s how much I like the car even with those cons. But those two cons are big ones. So test those out among others to make informed decision

    • @BeardedTeslaGuy
      @BeardedTeslaGuy  Před 3 lety +1

    At 2:00 in I already suspect this is going to be your best video yet.
    We got a standard Y after Elon dropped the price $2000, and then removed the car from the website.
    I'm astonished that this car is available at under $40,000 that I've ordered the license plate Kodakmmt because I think more than any other car the model why represents the final nail and big autos coffin.
    About to take it on a 4,000 mi road trip, Then probably going to trade it for a long range 3 row after they start building them in Austin.
    (Hoping these cars will start coming with either adaptive or air suspension, as the bigger battery cars don't have the same agile feel that I love about the SRY and my dual motor 3.)
    I would have kept the tires and used them for summer, but I like having a winter set.

  • @Whitbypoppers
    @Whitbypoppers Před 3 lety +1

    Apparently, Americans aren’t used to switching over their tires twice a year between winter and summer driving. In your situation I’d have considered the supplied tires as summer grade and bought winter grade to supplement them. Lately, Canadian dealers are often including an extra set of 4 tires for the other season. BTW, there is no such thing as “all season” tires. At 7 degrees C (47F), winter tires out-perform “all-season” tires even on dry pavement.

It happened while I was on an 80 mph highway and after about 30 minutes of driving with the "Ok to drive" warning it put up a new error that said "Service Required" and limited my power. I had to drive an hour at 58 mph on an 80 mph road at night. I didn't love it.

    My white paint was perfect when my Y came at Christmas. Only issue so far is that the paint as already almost completely gone off the little bulge at the bottom of the rear door just in front of the rear tire. We live in the country and the gravel roads have taken a toll. I did expect this from seeing other people mentioning it and yes I did see some stick on 3M type product that could be applied but they seemed expensive and I don't think they would last very long on the gravel so one day I'll have to get some paint work done or a wrap or something before I sell it. My dually fenders do the exact same thing to the paint on the gravel roads. Just the nature of where we live I guess

    Did you apply the ceramic coating on top of the PPF? Will the CC alone protect against road debris? I've done the PPF in my cars before and it was very difficult on the curved areas mainly, I cringe just to think on doing it again but it's cheaper than having it installed. I like your channel, great videos!

    • @BeardedTeslaGuy

      Ceramic goes on top of PPF. Ceramic will prevent things like swirls and light scratches. It will not stop rocks and road debris from chipping paint.
