Very well explained in a charming way! 👏
Don't wanna miss any of your updates .
Haha compliment of the day! Thank you so much 😅
You can easily remove one of the 5 annoying things about your Tesla. On road trips, run the battery down to 10-15% and then charge it up to 70-80%. Then continue your drive to the next charger. You will add a few stops to your trip but each stop will be much quicker. I can go from 10% to 70% in about 25 minutes at a V3 supercharger. It is a waste of time to charge above 80% unless you need the extra charge to make it to the next charger but that is rare.
Bro, thanks! Been shopping around for the last year and have also test-driven countless vehicles. Your review not only was great! Now has sealed the deal to order my Tesla Model Y and it will be delivered this May!!
Thanks - Appreciate it and welcome to the Tesla club! 🙌🏼
I rented a Tesla Model 3 to try it out and I definitely enjoyed it. However if I were to purchase one to own with my own money, it 100% would be the Model Y. SUV storage and size in the footprint of a regular sedan 🔥
It really is the perfect all rounder with practicality mixed with the performance and feel of driving a sedan 👌🏼
@@astateoftech time to trade that shitbox in for a rav4 hybrid or crv hybrid
Yea model Y wins as storage King.. model X is like the Tesla jettson spaceship car

i see your model y has the cut outs for USS in the front bumper. What model year is your car and can you confirm whether it's using USS in park assist? Thanks
Your videos keep getting better!! Really enjoyed this one! Agreed with the others, you deserve more subs 👌🏽
Thanks for the continued support! 1000 subs soon 🚀
@@astateoftechwhere did you get the black hubcaps?
bro this guy is seriously underrated on youtube
Thanks a lot! Compliment of the day 🙏🏼
Wow!! What a detailed review. Do's and Dont's.really helpful for everyone.
Thank you so much and appreciate the support 😊
Yea he did a good job for sure
Thanks for sharing. How about tire wear? Some Model Y Performance owners complain about tire wear, not sure if it's the case with MYLR.
This is the confirmation I needed. I'm going to get my model Y!
Haha awesome! Enjoy your new Tesla, you can also save money on the purchase if you use my referral link in the description :)
Its a nice car. I was considering the Model 3 last year but decided to hold off and got a Toyota, the resale value of Tesla's went way down recently. My worry is if that price drop happens again. I'm not willing to burn many thousands of dollars as the EV industry continues to figure itself out.
Oh please, this car sucks. It is very loud in the cabin, not comfortable to drive at all, and I honestly feel like the price to quality is terrible. But you know that's just me
Not my experience, I love my model Y! @@ankurpatel5959
I believe that between both LR & Performance you would choose the Performance though you have the LR?
Another great video! Non stop with the hits and tips :D
Haha thanks for continuing to tune in! Glad you enjoy it 😊
Keep it up bro, next stop 1K subs
Yesss! I will remember you as the Day 1 sub Honest Guy 👌🏼. Thanks for the continued support!
Love the humour 😂 and references
Enjoyed this video a lot 🎉
Thank you!!! ❤😊
The video was fun and informative. Should be getting more views and subs.
Thanks Louis! Appreciate the compliment 🙂
great vid! very well done. it helped me a lot.. i subscribed as well. could you talk about winter driving with you tesla?
Thanks a lot for your support! for sure, will try create a winter video soon 👌🏼
I would love to see a review of the performance boost. I'm thinking of getting it one day for my Model YLR.
Hey Randy, you are in luck! My next video is about the acceleration boost…coming soon 👌🏼
Awesome... looking forward to it@@astateoftech
Your video is perfect and informative? As the white interior is expensive in terms of cleaning and maintenance which color is better ? please advise as I am buying the car soon. Thank you very much
Thanks - only thing you have to look out for is blue Jean transfer, which does go on the white seats but if you are careful, it can be maintained. Also, use my referral code to save money on your Tesla purchase 👌🏼
@@astateoftech Tesla is offering 6 months supercharging free now ? So how can I use your referral code for cash discount ?
@@withthesovereigntrader yes, you get that when you use the referral code as well. My referral link is in the description.
By far one of the best reviews I’ve seen. Great job man. You’ve made me really want one. Between between this, model S and Bronco Badlands. Im looking to buy Summer 2024
Thanks a lot Steve for the kind words! You know where my vote will go haha
Dude. I’m in same boat. Rubicon to Tesla….total opposites. But I want something fun and different.
I purchased both a Model 3 and Model Y a year apart and both have a design in the bottom aero panel underneath the cars. In both cases, a screw or bolt came off and allowed for a portion of the front of this panel to flop down, and hence start to hit the road any time you go through a dip in the road. Eventually, this break off while driving. Also, when it rained, the cars would collect water underneath and get into the underside. This caused mildew and I had to replace the cabin filter earlier. Both cars were less than one year old. Getting both aero panels replaced cost me about $400 each from Tesla. They did not consider this to be covered by warranty. This is a design flaw that needs to be fixed by Tesla. If you do a google search on this subject, you’ll find multiple instances of this by other people.
Seems like all non truck or SUV cars have plastic covers on the bottom that loose bolts, I see that with all kinds of newer sedans, it's kind of a hybrid SUV/sedan because of the smoothe design, at least it's not a big problem... Plastic is people's favorite
Mobile Connector is included everywhere except the US
Didn’t get here in Canada either
@@astateoftech Sorry mate, i see you guys part of the US
I subscribed on 3 of my devices, so now congrats on 1k subs!!!!

Haha wow thanks so much!! Very kind of you 🙏🏼
@@astateoftech No problem!!🤜🏼
hey buddy what is the tint % on your windows and where did you get them done?
Hey - check out the tinting video on my channel, forgetting the exact numbers
What about the soundproofing? And the suspension? Aren’t they more important and relevant than 0-60 ?
and in those cases, the Teslas suck, in particular the Model Y. Quite harsh over bumps... and while they are better now, still super noisy.
@@SlavGunsnot true at all. My model Y definitely beats most luxury cars in those departments
lol. Soundproofing and suspension? No, definitely not. The Teslas and the Y in particular are quite stiff, in order to keep sporty feel, but due to the weight, also need to be stiff. My F150 Lightning is far nicer and quieter than any 3 or Y I had. Don't take this the wrong way, the Tesla Model Y is great in many ways, but suspension and "luxury" it is not... heck, even the Tesla sales people say the suspension is fairly rough. @@dagothodros641
@@dagothodros641 whatever man, grow the fuck up
Didn't know about hubcaps. Thanks man
No worries 🙌🏼
Can you get a screen protector for the screen? Like on a phone/ipad?
Yes. There's multiple brands available online and they average about $30. I ordered the matte finish version for my model y long range. Cuts down on the the glare considerably.
I never understood why paint chips show up black on the white paint but on my blue M3 the paint chips show up white. Super hard to hide!
Interesting…didn’t know that, I wish my chips were white underneath too 😅
The color that shows up through the chip is the color of the plastic injection molded part underneath. Most injection molded parts are made from black-colored pellets, as those are the cheapest to source.
I’ve struggled with the removal of ultrasonic sensors. I’m not thrilled with having to rely on the camera as opposed to the alerts from the sensors.
I’ve read this was a mistake from Tesla. Any thoughts???
I agree that it was a mistake on Tesla's part, but on the other hand, it's also one less part to break in the future. Tesla (Elon specifically) stated that the vision software is supposed to help with the calibrations for the Optimus bot 'eyes'.
Open your glovebox using voice command and the right scroll . Just push in the scroll and say open the glovebox! Simple and no distractions!
Great review man!
Thanks Andrew! Appreciate it 🙏🏼
There is also one more storage in the trunk. When you open the main lid for the trunk, there is also another lid you can open behind that for more storage. It is hidden, so I didn't find it until a month ago and I've had mine since 2021.
Can you post link of the 19inch wheel covers
Wry good report. Thank you. And you are getting close to the 1k subscribers. I recently started my cooking channel. I’m having fun with it. It’s moving good. Again, thank you for these details.
Thanks Samer for watching and enjoying the content! 🙂. Yes, hitting the 1k mark soon and overwhelmed by all the support. All the best for your YT Channel 🙌🏼.
You are welcome. Thank you as well.
Coool video looks like ur in the six aka Toronto … isn’t he 2024 gonna be diff then it’s? Why not model 3?
Haha yup! I don’t believe 2024 would be the refresh but no one really knows. The model 3 is sportier and more fun to drive but I chose the model Y it’s still sporty but the practicality of its storage capacity it amazing! 👌🏼
@@astateoftech yea ur right
Dude you remind me kids videos. In a positive way… “do you know what this is?” This is….. this opens up ahah love this
Which model Y is this buddy? Long range or performance??
Long range
Thanks , great video
Fantastic video!
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼
Awesome review !
Thanks a lot! Appreciate it 🙏🏼
Love my MYLR but windshield wipers are loud and sometimes don’t stop wiping
Are you referring to when it wipes the windshield when it’s not wet haha
@@astateoftech Yup. It happens when Autopilot is engaged. Turning off Autopilot solves the problem. But why?
To help reduce wiper squealing, coat your windshield with Rain-X. Also use Rain-X wiper fluid to help keep the windshield treated. It will improve visibility in the rain while also reducing wiper friction on the glass. Which will reduce their noise a bit.
it has something to avoid solar light in the glass roof? Like a blackout or else?
The OEM glass filters out some of the UV light. The aftermarket has several options for sunshades.
Thanks!
What do think about its suspensions?
Not amazing, but doesn’t bother me. I know others have complained about the ride comfort and stated the 19 inch wheels are more comfortable.
My Model Y Long Range rides better (and is quieter inside) than my old Chevy Spark that it replaced! So it's better than an econobox car IMHO. 😉
Your car got delivered with its headlight broken?
With all that storage it seems they would put a spare tire in there. I just can't get behind paying 50k for a car and being at someone else's mercy to fix a flat.
How is that an suv?
Are you in Canada Ontario
The price for the Model Y as of February 2024 is a no brainer to buy one, especially with the $7,500 tax credit and most states have tax incentives as well. Hands down the Best Buy !! ⚡️😎
Another negative thing is that they don't come with a replacement tire , besides that I love the Y model and I'm actually setting up my budget as I going to get one !!!
Not sure if I agree that a white plastic slab is a beautiful white panel
Loved this honest Tesla Y review! I am not a fan of Elon Musk; but I am a fan of Tesla -- is that weird? Anyway, I am currently leasing a 2022 Hyundai Kona ICE and my lease is up next year so in the Spring, when I'm 6 months out from my lease end, I will start my search for my next vehicle. Let's see what happens with prices and U.S. Tax incentives then, as I'm also looking at the new redesigned Hyundai Kona EV, or a Toyota Hybrid. Thanks for a fun to watch video.
Haha not too happy with Elon and the price cuts either but thanks for watching Steve and for the compliments! Let me know if you have any questions if you are decide to go for a Tesla. 👌🏼
Bro ,in Germany the model Y long range starts at 50k euro
Please do video on juniper model
Need more subs. Your so funny.
Thanks a lot mlee! Always there supporting every video…you rock 👌🏼
I have a roof blind for my 3 which has really helped keep the interior a bit cooler when you're parked in the sun
Surprisingly, the heat doesn’t bother me as much but I also live in Canada where it’s always cold 😅
@@astateoftech much like the U.K. then except for those 4 hot days a year we have 😂
@@jonpriston8784haha we def have to cherish the limited hot days we have 😅
My model y is black and the door handles are a pet peeve. Everyone touches on the paint to close the door, which means I always have fingerprints on my door.
I heard the suspension is not very good on those EVs
How can I buy and invest in Tesla
Funny man, great info.
Haha thanks so much! 🙏🏼
Did I catch all the Booms?! 😂
Like and Sub 👌🏼
You can also add solar charging, this will charge an additional 5 to 10 percent sitting outside the whole day. It's a 10k upgrade that takes away your moon roof. You can also get the extended battery, that adds 50 more miles for an additional 25k. You'll lose the front truck space but who cares, you still have the back trunk and now you will blow up from a car accident no matter which half of the car they hit. Then you'll slowly start to realize that for this same price, you could have gotten 3 gas powered hybrid vehicles and now you have a broken Tesla that will cost 10 to 20 k to fix because the battery will eventually die and need a replacement. Assuming the car doesn't kill you 1st from it's "full self driving" feature or bankruptcy from maintenance. At least you have a Tesla?
My Model Y doesn't cool in the summer because of the panoramic roof. Ridiculous that there is no shade. Also, the road noise in this car is beyond unbearable. I can't wait for my lease to be up.
Aftermarket wheels lol.... aka wheel hubcaps, funny thing they put silver ones on black wheels to make em fancy, now you put black ones on the silver!
Drive/own petrol car 30+ yo, the numerous repairs/maintenance pain in the you know what. Tell me EV maintenance is much easier ?
I’ll be making a whole video on the expenses behind an EV but so far I’ve only had to switch windshield wiper!
It’s less yes but 30 years of quality control va 15 years for a Tesla … Tesla is your iPhone iPad Apple on wheels … no gas sure but u need a home charger and u need to always find a ev station charger however there is still less maintenance like break bars and roaters.. with one peddle driving u engage in breaks a lot less helps wear and tear….
The fact the value of an EV drops like a stone in the first year. Basically a dead weight.
You won’t be able to run it past 7 years without probably having to replace the batteries.
I have the Model 3 Performance and in 4 years the only thing I have done is change the wiper fluid. My friend has over 120,000 miles on his Model 3 and has changed tires twice. He also had to change the lithium battery that runs the accessories for $169. I just ordered a Model Y Performance. I have three ICE vehicles and I am tired or the constant maintenance. I hate smogging the cars, oil changes, coolant, tune ups, timing belt, alternators, transmission fluid etc. My 1990 4Runner has 180,000 miles on it and needs a new engine. I have used the supercharger maybe a dozen times in four years. All of my charging is done at home. I drove the Tesla from San Francisco to Los Angeles and it cost me $35 round trip. The Hotel had free charging and Tesla was doing free supercharging that weekend.
Just by comparison, there's 50k supercharger stations globally and 115k gas stations in just the US alone.. or there's still nowhere near enough chargers available.. I'm not anti electric, i just don't think the tech is there yet, it's still an early adopter scenario. It is cool though..
One note to mention is that transport technology is evolving at a rapid pace, even if it has taken gas stations in a span of 100 years to get to the point where they are at, the gas pumps have been more efficent at filling up tanks than about 60 years ago.
Of course with the increasing demand of both gas and EVs rising, each fill up station has to keep up with said demand. In my part of Texas, a lot of gas stations are still being built.
With Tesla, it has taken them 10 years to build up a rather reliable network of roughly 30,000 chargers. Some analytics are suggesting Tesla will achieve 100,000 chargers or more across the US in 5 more years. Also good to point out that installing fast chargers are quicker to install, don't take up as much space, and cheaper to build than conventional gas stations, so the build rate is likely going to expand exponentially.
@@TheReal_JG For me, the biggest holdup in adoption is the additional charging time, the range loss in cold weather, and the lack of chargers along my traveling routes. While I am fine in the city, the vast majority of my travel is into areas where I would need to bring a 110 cord and get a hotel for two days to make it back. While i could just fill up and head home. I have family on the east coast, to drive from here to there is 656mi I have used the tesla network map in combination with electrify America and other chargers, and can't make that trip in one day in an EV, i would need a 3 day hotel schedule to make the drive and it would add nearly a day of driving and 250 additional miles to my trip to do it.. That's why those numbers are important, So technology would need to improve capacity so I can go 500mi on a charge, at 80mph, with the heat on 70f when it's 25f outside, with charging stations at minimum every 150mi from each other on all major highways.. At which point sign me up.. But, like i said, unfortunately the tech isn't there yet..
Dude when you said "I can slide majority of my arm in to my elbow" for some reason my girlfriend got a huge grin on her face 🤣🤣🤣🤣
haha wow that’s too funny! 😂
down to 10-15% and then charge it up to 70-80%. Then continue your drive to the next charger. You will add a few stop
What’s the referral code ?
The referral link is in my bio 🙂
@@astateoftech thanks
Why no one talks about the suspension of Model y???? There is a lot of scope to improve it, isn’t it ? I am surprised how people spend same equivalent money as BMW all these 😅. I feel 35k to 45k is a perfect price for model y
dont you think owning a full size pick up truck a lot better?
What about taxes, I live in Fl. I heard sunpass is free
It varies from state to state. I purchased a Tesla Model y long range in December 2023 in Missouri.
Missouri charges a state tax, local county/town tax, a EV Road Tax Sticker ($120/Year), and the Title/Registration Fees.
It cost me a whopping $4,100 at the department of Motor vehicles when I registered the new vehicle.
Missouri is a unique State as you are not allowed to roll your sales tax into your loan. You are required to pay all the taxes when you register the vehicle.
The state sales tax was $2,100, and the remainder was the County/Town Sales Tax, Registration, and Title .
Also don't forget about the cost of accessories like the mobile charger, charging adapters, wall charger, and aftermarket spare tire.
All of that was easily $6,000 on top of the loan. So be forewarned you need to have some extra cash on hand if you buy one! 😉
How do i get the 500 dollar off
It’s through my Tesla referral link (in description) but they have changed the incentive now to include supercharging free for 6 months and 3 months FSD. They can change it anytime though..
I love the things I can't afford.. I seriously love this car!....
aye might use that referral code soon! where are those after market attachable wheels from? link ?
This is a nice town is this india or something?
what color tint is that?
There have been a lot of documented studies on it, and drag coefficient is almost negligible due to car shape, fuel consumption primarily being correlated directly with the largest cross section of surface area. The drag coefficient only starts to matter when you're looking at large trucks (semis) and supercars/race cars. It might also matter if you're trying to squeeze out every ounce of performance for track driving, but drag would make small difference regardless.
This has to be missing important data. The efficiency of this thing is insanely good considering the size and weight!
front tint is illegal here i believe.
Well thats all his opinion on this car... Ill take that with a grain of salt...
Touch screen to open glove box? Seriously? No buttons for climate control? That’s a deal breaker. I’m glad I watched. Now I don’t have to think maybe I might want one. I definitely don’t and it doesn’t live rent free in my brain anymore.
Teslas aren’t very well made with horrid panel gaps, hoods that don’t fit, squeaky, ratty ride and a frustrating user interface. The Model Y is by far the best built and the new (upcoming) Model 3 is apparently much better than the current version. Also, Tesla stopped publishing scheduled maintenance information in 2019, leaving it to customers to know when their vehicle needs service.
Take my money
Nice haircut, what else can I say
If they just made it ride like a luxury suv it would be so much better instead it rides like rocks and is bumpy. Buy an Audi they know what they’re doing.
You are going to hate the stupid handle design if you live in a state that have a very cold winter.
lol how much of that credit you sharing bruh😂😂😂
Resounding YESSS, lol. Now you should post the video of your tears due to fallen prices
I got locked from using my auto steer on my Tesla for a week. No summons and no auto steer which I have paid for. What’s next I can’t drive my car? Next EV or self driving car will not be a Tesla.
Let's try 0 to 60.... heading towards a WALL!!!!!! LOL What?!
Lmao 🤣. It wasn’t actually a 0-60 in the video, just trying to show it’s quick off the line. I have 0-60 tests in my acceleration boost video.
Haha makes sense. Great video bro! Keep up the good work. Need some more Model Y Juniper insights! 😀@@astateoftech
