based on a montage. I'm driving a Tesla

model

and now is the time to pay attention. Here comes a disjointed explosion of facts and observations. Lauren. From the Model 3, the Tesla Model Y is a compact electric SUV with a maximum EPA range of 316 miles and a starting price of around fifty-four thousand dollars for the Long Range

model. It costs eight thousand dollars more, but it's not worth it from zero to sixty times every 3.5 seconds.

A standard model of around 40,000 should arrive sometime in 2021. This particular model is a real customer car, so it represents what you could actually buy yourself, just ignore it. the fake carbon interior trim and probably illegal window tint creep in and the interior feels incomplete without gauge cluster extreme simplicity, take that from Scandinavia the interior is more spacious than the model 3 because the roof is higher In the back the rear seats recline unlike the model 3 Boy, I'm comfortable sitting behind me. I fit in very well. The model's glass roof is great, but you'll definitely feel the sun on hot days slightly visible from the driver's seat and you'll find critical information on the 15-inch center screen. here instead of here is a little strange, but you'll adapt quickly talking about the screen.

Tesla has done an exemplary job of organizing essential functions. The nice thing is that, apart from the seats, almost every aspect of the vehicle is controlled from here, just like in the Model 3. The steering wheel controls not only handle the audio, they are also used to adjust the mirrors and move the steering wheel. Oh yeah, listen to those robot noises. If that sounds confusing, it's not the same as using the screen to control the vents. it just works if only

I especially like the Trax music sequencer. I hope the postal service doesn't sue me. Music people, not men. So we have autopilot. That's Tesla's driving assistance system, it works very well when it works very well, although it deftly manages the steering of the accelerator brakes and can make lane changes. Autopilot can also get confused just like human drivers, so don't sleep at the wheel. I'll also add that autopilot. does an unexpectedly amazing job of detecting trash cans owen wilson wow ala an extra seven thousand dollars worth of

and you can unlock full autonomous driving capabilities by upgrading the list of wise skills with auto parking and lane changing features summon remote vehicle recovery using the pest app and auto start - Ramp to highway exit ramp driving again, although it is labeled as fully autonomous driving.

Teslas don't drive completely on their own again. They don't sleep behind the wheel while we're on the move. I will note that the model y drives much like a model 3. The low-mounted battery pack means a low center of gravity which helps the model y carve corners with tenacious competence and, like the model 3, the model and feels stable in a straight line but has a quick sporty off-center ratio, it pays to drive with precision because small adjustments make big changes to your trajectory and then there's acceleration, if you don't already know, the electric torque can be fun, let's check the revved fun quotient of the model, yes yes it is fun, the smooth and relentless thrust is your reward for driving fast electric in its silent intensity. stop, we need to take a break from this montage, the pace is relentless, okay, as a model owner you have the power to adjust your acceleration and regenerative braking intensity, the vehicle's crawling behavior and steering efforts. direction for record comfort mode are also.

Light for the fast steering ratio, in my opinion, I keep it at normal or higher and now an even more random selection of observations. Outward visibility is poor towards the rear, but fine elsewhere for unlocking the doors. Use this valet card or your phone like other Teslas. With no start button, you simply put your foot on the brake, start it and go. The cargo space is ample and in the back, the seats offer a center pass-through, take care of that little bar and can be folded down from the cargo area, you can store more gear. In the large compartment under the floor or in the front, the front seats provide comfortable support and include adjustable lumbar supports, most importantly, soft, well-placed armrests that rank high on the elbow comfort index of mica muzio.

Hello, it's good to see you squirrel in the back seat. Foot room is exceptional thanks to our car's raised front seats. It is difficult to lift the left rear seat despite the large number of cameras. Surprisingly, there is no 360-degree view around the vehicle. The rear windows only go down this far. Any color besides white will do. It costs a thousand or two thousand dollars in 2021, you will be able to add third-row seats that, depending on the space you want to reserve for the children, if you are motivated, you can drive your model and SUV through the a dirt hill in Long Beach is not a great challenge as a reference.

Here's a Toyota Supra going down the same hill to charge a standard household outlet, it's incredibly slow, while a 240-volt charger adds about 14 miles of range per hour charged for fast charging. on the move, Tesla's vast super charging infrastructure is game, as for quality issues, the B-pillar trim on our car doesn't fit right and neither does this lower bumper trim, the rear door alignment is slightly off , the rear seats are equally uneven and there is a loud rattle. Coming from somewhere in the back between the Model Y's three braking modes, I love it wait, you can accelerate and decelerate using just the accelerator in most situations and the Model Y stops perfectly and smoothly every time and no, You can't exploit the federal anymore. tax incentives when purchasing a Tesla, but there may be state incentives depending on where you live If you're looking for a pragmatic electric vehicle, the Chevy Bolt Hyundai Kona EV and Nissan Leaf can be had for much less than the Y model, but the wise touches Premium and technical strengths put it in another class As of when this video was made, the Mustang Mach E remains a mystery, but depending on when you're looking at it, it's probably worth a look as an alternative.

You can also consider the jaguar i. rhythm or hey, how about the tesla model 3? It is 4000 cheaper than the y model and quite similar or maybe go for a model x if you need more space and want to dazzle the kids at daycare. I don't know about you, but me. I'm exhausted, now I know why we usually keep our setups tight and now a setup of our setup, oh you.
