The wipers can also be activated by pressing the button at the tip of the left stalk.This should also bring up the menu that’ll allow for wiper speed selection. Long pressing the same button also does a windshield wash (spray) and wipe. Good review overall!
Nice review brother. You’ve opened my eyes to Tesla’s limitations in the Philippines. While Tesla is great here in the US and until Tesla integrates their cars in the Philippines, it wouldn’t be practical really for Filipinos to use it. A lot of the features are really useful for the Philippines ie GPS, self driving, Philippine apps, supercharging network, service centers etc.. again until Tesla establishes their support in the country it won’t be used at its full potential. I wish you could add more context as to why that is and if government has to do something about it or if Tesla just refuse to provide to our beloved country.
i hate it when the digital cluster is on the center infotainment system and every controls are on the infotainment system just my own opinion. RIP physical buttons
@@jason-oz9wb dude why are u here? if i cant afford it i cant even express my own opinion about what i dont like about the car? what about u? could u afford it? do u like it? i dont care about and ur nonsense. GFU
I suspect when Tesla comes to the Philippines officially, we will have no issues with the apps, they sell Chinese-made Tesla's in the UK and other parts of Europe that have the correct apps for their country.
Agree. When Tesla officially markets their cars here, it will be configured for the PH market will all the niceties and standards that Philippine-spec cars sold here all have. It's just a matter of when. Also, Tesla absolutely has to populate their Supercharger network here to make it all work.
6:56 you can press the button of the left stalk for wipers. Also most controls can be accessed thru voice command if you do not want to touch the screen.
Drove a rental during my previous US trip and loved every minute of it. Loved that we were able to load 2 large and 2 small luggage and with 4 passengers comfortable along the way.
Yes, practicality is insane. We were shocked by the available spaces in this car when we did a test drive. The storage space under the rear boot is also way deeper and wider in reality than how it appears in videos.
1. Buy us tesla so that you can use all the apps 2. Buy portable wireless air pump. No need extra tire. 3. 3rd seat can fit 6.5 height. 4. Php 11.84 x 75kwtt = Php 886.5 for 100% 300 miles 5. Buy Tesla wall charger. It takes 3 hours from 0% to 100%. You can charge everyday 100% but use 10% so that 90% left. Hindi yan masisira yun battery 🔋. Your country has 220 volt no problem. Don’t go below 20% battery 🪫 6. Auto open & close charging port no need manually. 7. Tire 🛞 you can put all 255 R 19 so that your performance will increase miles range. 8. It’s easy to drive user friendly. I drove the car in just 3 seconds super easy.👍😊 My cars 2015, 2017, 2018, 2023 all has free unlimited supercharge & premium connectivity for life. I drove 200 miles a day & supercharge at tesla twice 100%
Caco, that is not an “infotainment screen” - that is actually a computer tablet. Once you’ve personalized the seat position, side mirrors, etc., in the settings, you won’t have to bother tapping onto the tablet while driving. Also, almost all the controls are accessible by voice command. Opening/Closing the frunk, trunk, charging port, etc., can now be controlled by your Apple Watch. Charging. Home charging is the main solution. You only really need Supercharging stations if you’re on long road trips. Like LA to SanFo/Vegas. It is a fun car to drive! Not going back to ICE.
@@AJRV1-lc5wz - I totally disagree, I drove a Prius for 5 years sold it and now a 2018 Tesla M3 dual motor and I have to say Tesla EV is way way better. Maybe if it was a different EV car but if you get a Tesla then I'm sure you'll change your mind. My question is , did you ever own a Tesla ( or any EV)? Because if you didn't own an EV then it's just your opinion without any comparison. I will never go back to an ICE/hybrid car ever.
20:20 yes. like the latest Prius, these EVs are for short people. why? for better drag coefficient/range in highways. it can be said that the range killer for EVs vs ICE cars is wind resistance.
To answer your question.. I think owning a TESLA far outweighs the limitations of the infotainment limitations of a “China-spec” model. If I could afford the Model Y… I can find myself adjusting. Although, this review was very helpful for buyers considering a shift to full EV cars. Happy New Year!
3 additional ways to shut the Charging Port (AKA B - TT hole) A) Voice command say Shut B- TT Hole B) Gently push Port Cover C) On your Phone go to your phone Tesla Apps, Control, Charge port
possible of EV fast chargers all places in Philippines especially in malls .. planning the routes if attempting long rides then buy the E car that range over 300km
Caco needs to research more on Tesla. When they officially come to shore, I am curious if they could connect to the newly developed mobile Starlink for cars. One feature from Tesla cars that seem not available to other manufacturers is the Sentry mode. Great protection against burglars and envious key scratchers. But the model that is actually made for bad Philippine roads is the Cybertruck. Now, that is my dream car.
watching from sac, ca bought my mylr last sept. Amazing and very practical crossover vehicle. But supercharger is everywhere in my area which makes it worth it. oh and 8 years battery and motor warranty. im at 15,000 miles and people say tesla tires wears out much quicker like around 25,000 miles or less depends on driving habits compared to ice vehicles around 50,000 miles. no change oils, no maintenance. no expensive gas just charge at $0.14 cents /kwh in off peak supercharger.
Assuming you will sell or trade your model Y before the warranty rans out? Otherwise you forgot to mention it will cost you $15k or more to replace a dead battery 🪫 🔋
@@jacksongil9123i dont know know the price of a new battery. but as you said $15k. after 8 years not bad for a brand new 0 mileage car much cheaper than a prius 👍
Tesla Model Y is the best selling car for 2023 beating the Toyota Corolla. Hope PHI to accelerate more support to EVs so that filipinos can enjoy the benefits of EVs.
Got ours 4 days ago and it is amazing! More than enough space for a family of 5 with more space to spare for 2 more passengers and luggage. This is going to be great for philippine traffic, its efficient and not burning fuel up! :)
Most people trashing in the comments are the ones not familiar with the brand / company. Compared to ones correcting this autodeal guy: wiper button, glove box, charger port, etc, are the ones who have used and love using Tesla
Love my ‘23 Y. Good review. Is it worth getting it in the Philippines NO, unless you just want to get a unique EV brand like a Tesla. City driving would be fine. But without that charging infrastructure you’ll be missing out a lot to which this car was designed for. The model difference between a standard and performance is physically cometic. You can pay for the boost update on the standard. The OTA software updates/upgrades are gold standard. However the flagships Plaid are a different ball game altogether. Let’s not forget they cost a lot have it service in an accident and insurance. Often times you’ll see a minor crash and they will deemed this totaled. They are built differently from ICE cars.
Problem with Philippines is that anything new is overpriced and heavily taxed to the point only super rich people can afford it. It just doesn’t make sense as minimum wage is what 600 peso per day but a Kenny Rodger’s burger costs 250 peso. Vs in the USA a burger still costs $5 but people make $20 an hour. In the USA tvs, ps5, gaming laptops and IPhones sell for 1/2 cost. So what’s happening? It’s hard enough that the wage is so low. But to over price everything seems unbelievable 😮
There alot of function you haven't mentioned. With phone key there options you can put security on the car aswell a passcode everytime you drive the car and balley mode just incase someone borrow your car and want to give them limited access. And the charger lid just leave it. And it automatically closed in a few second after you charge
the truth is tesla is way cheaper in US bec of tax incentives, compared to us, youll be charged around 110% more the original price due to import taxes🙁 wishing someday the govt will give way for EVs in the future
Great review! Personally, I think the Y is a beautiful car design! I have sat in one and was blown away by the comfort! Unfortunately for me, not sure I could figure out everything involved in owning and driving one.
Hey Buddy that's a pretty good review. If possible down the road...update the comments about YOUR Tesla. Curious how it handles any flooding there. Example: Able to navigate with no noticeable issues with water height of 8 inches as an example; or you had a friend who purchased a Tesla and it is not functional anymore due to central control head unit not operable? or maybe like If you have to take the Tesla in for maintenance is there a dedicated Tesla service or certified shop there to work on it? Or any rebates or tax credits in the Philippines there as there was here in the United States? How about if the Tesla Breakdown and it has to be towed to a auto-shop, do you have a local transport that has the ability to put it on the truck bed so that ALL the wheels are off the ground? Never drove a Telsa..but I am curious about what peoples experiences are and not some generic Tesla commercial. But you hit it on the mark at 23:15 and so for you? Since you are one of the few that has a Tesla. Did YOU have a charging station or should I say besides a level 1 charger installed in your home for your Tesla? I see you drove it out in the country, have you driven your Tesla in a really urban and crowded environment like in the middle of Manila in the middle of the day? Again..just curious, what people encounter in a different country besides the USA. Thank you.
Are Teslas in the Philippines official releases by Tesla or are they grey imports? You said you have no access to the app, but at the same time I saw there is no cell signal. So I"m thinking maybe app access is not available at all because there is no SIM configured.
@@ReyMattMD All Teslas have SIM cards connected to networks so your app functions work. Ie. Control car functions remotely like turn on AC. What premium gives you is internet access for apps such as Netflix. I own a base Model Y (I'm a Filipino living overseas).
Great review! It's nice that Tesla has reached the PH shores although via a 3rd-party company. One thing to note - there's a proper way to close the frunk and not the typical way of closing hoods of ICE cars. Tesla has an aluminum hood and would be bend out of shape if continued to be closed that way.
Caco voice command does a lot of things in this car like wipers on make it faster or slow, aircon on hi-lo, lights on, change radio station or music streaming to name a few. You should have shown everyone the lightshow.
wow so tiring, "ac turn 17 degerees celsius now turn 18 celsius no wait to hot turn it 16 degree, 19 , 20,". what no button for changing the radio do we have to memories radio station? not to mention that button for signal turn is annoying once you turn hard right and suddenly want to turn left it has a gap to reach to turn left or right but they option it with yolk steering to fix the problem. TBH its cool though but tesla is not the first to have this technology Lexus have these as well as BMW, Audi and even Chinese brands the only difference is that Tesla is looking like a gold cart inside and out.
@@linacanete2213 Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but in order to know the bad things or short comings of a car you should at least own or have driven the car for least a month. But when you rant, make fun, and hate something that you have not even own or driven makes you a STUPID IGNORANT fool linakamote2213. You’re making bad comments base on a one day review of the car. Listen linakamote2213 explain to me then how come the Model Y is the Best SELLING car in the world for 2023 that’s EV and ICE car.
There are external devices that provide Apple Carplay or Android Auto (and hopefully mobile connectivity) capability for more functionality. I just ordered a dashboard screen for that
Opening the glove box can be voice activated.. driving the same model Y here in the U.S. and what i like about it I can unlock and drive the car with just my phone alone
Aside from the phone. I now control some of the functions through my Apple watch - open/close doors, frunk, trunk, charge port, stop charging, etc. Bought a M3P last February. It just a fun car to drive!
You can pretty much do everything with voice activation diminishing the need for buttons. It takes getting used to, but the future is very user friendly. Counter point to your steering adjustment: you do it once, and it saves it to your individual profile; set it and forget it. Meanwhile you can bind controls to everything using those dials: wiper speed, voice activation, volume, speed adjustments, lights. The way you made it seem is those buttons don't serve a purpose until you're in the menu, which is disappointing from the potential consumers that rely on reviews.
I've had my Model 3 Performance for about 9 months now and this is the 1st car in my life that I've put the most miles within a short time as it is very cheap to run, quiet, comfortable, safe with it's excellent AWD traction on wet roads here in UK. It also does 1/4 mile in 11.5s, 0-60 in 3.1s and it costs way cheaper than any other ICE car with this much performance and tech. Huge respect to all the engineers for inventing cool cars like these. It may not work for everyone, but it is a brilliant piece of kit for my needs.
The longest-range Tesla models are: 1. Tesla Roadster: 620 miles 2. Tesla Cybertruck: 500 miles 3. Tesla Model S: 405 miles 4. Tesla Model S Plaid: 396 miles 5. Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 358 miles 6. Tesla Model X: 348 miles 7. Tesla Model X Plaid: 333 miles 8. Tesla Model Y Long Range: 330 miles 9. Tesla Model 3 Performance: 315 miles 10. Tesla Model Y Performance: 303 miles
Battery replacement cost is the topic in YT right now . The entertainment system, as of now , plays second fiddle . But it being centralised is a concern .
I have a Tesla Model Y here in Canada, you want to know what’s the catch with this Cars? Tesla Quoted me for battery replacement of my Tesla for around 35k Canadian dollars excluding the labour cost. So please don’t think that full electric car like this will save you a lot of money. This is my own personal experience. Now i am planning to get a Toyota Rav4 Hybrid.
Question: Is a Tesla still worth getting in Philippines? For my personal opinion about that is I would wait for Tesla cars that are spec out for the Philippine market - specifically. I will really go excited if I hear a Tesla model S and again a Phillippine spec-ed.
The supercharger network makes a lot of difference in driving and owning one. When I had the opportunity to drive it, the supercharger was more reliable compared to getting it charged in say a public parking lot, hotel, etc. So it would be advantageous for Tesla to invest on this as well.
The charging ports are for an AC charger which will accept a level 1 and level 2 GB/T charger. The other one is a DC GB/T charging port. There are charging stations, specifically that of Shell where the attendants will not allow you to use your adapter, since they use a CCS2 for DC charging or a type 2 for level 2 charging. But still an excellent review. I was looking for a DC GB/T adapter but it costs around 1,300 USD in eBay. Guess a level 2, 22 KWH charger will do in malls., or the wall charger installed at home will be enough.
You can connect to your phone's portable hotspot so that you can use a lot of its features.. Is this an official release or part of the grey market? I'm guessing the latter since the premium connectivity was never discussed which is a Tesla-only offering
I think the opening vid is in Sungay in Batangas going to Tagaytay.. You know your car has power when you can easily pass that road going up to Tagaytay.. :)
I test drove the Jaguar iPace when it first came out 2-3 years ago. The interior is luxurious compared to the minimalist style of Tesla. But, the tech is so poor, and the range is a paltry
I remember seeing it on another youtube video where it travels tru a traffic and got behind a jeepney pack full of students hanging behind it. The sensors detected the students as pedestrians crossing the road as seen in its infotainment display.
I find it odd that Voltion gets its Tesla from China, Singapore has Tesla already and surprisingly has tons of Superchargers as well. Why can't they get stocks from there and import them here?. The app killed it for me, really no point of getting one at this point if the apps are not working, you're better of getting the Ioniq and other EV's that's available locally.
actually you can use the wiper right away by slightly pressing/tapping the middle button the one we press to spray the wind shield, the signal switch sa left hand mo. sa gitna or use the voice command by pressing 😮with your thumb the small wheel on the right side and then say wiper on. or enable wiper. 😂
Please iakyat nyo sa baguio lets see at power nya? Or sungay talisay road papunta na tagaytay. Tingan natin ang power nya full load at battery. Kung worth it ang 3.5m more or less. Real talk tayo kung hindi kakayanin ng battery papunta ng baguio at pabalik u said 400 kilometers in one charge. Test nila in one charge manila to baguio ang back to manila. Maraming bibili nyan. Kayo lang din ang makakagawa nun kayo mga auto reviews. Omg looks familiar sa video kinaya ba sa sungay road pataas ng tagaytay?
If you could afford a Tesla, you could also afford installing a solar system in your home. A 40 KVA system could help charge a Tesla in 10-12 hours with the right charging system.
its like having a mobile phone and the technology that the smart phone has but in a place that has no signal. technology doesnt match with whats happening on the ground. or having a ref and led tv but in a place that has frequent power outages.
Infotainment is indeed a problem as of the moment but I think when Elon decided to do it that way Id assume he was thinking ahead, cuz as futuristic tesla maybe, its meant for the new generation, your kids who is already acostumed to the fact that technology and screens of mobile phones is already ingraved in their lifestyles that it wouldn't be a problem for them when the time comes that they'll drive their very own tesla's. And one more thing tesla is ready for the philipinnes but the philippines is not ready for tesla, we're just too far behind.
Oh man. I wouldn’t get a Tesla or any EV in the Philippines just yet. First, the infrastructure is non-existent or is few and far between. Secondly, the utility providers have very unreliable service. If your power keeps going dark, it could potentially ruin your system. Thirdly, the roads are flooded during typhoon season. You can wreck your 4.5 million peso car that quick.. and the insurance is probably nonexistent as well since it’s very expensive to repair a Tesla. Basically, until all of these have been resolved, then feel free to burn that money. Otherwise, you’re better off getting an ICE car that’s a 4 wheel drive.
Be careful on buying tesla’s on third party dealers. Most of them got totaled in North america that was just salvaged and refubished. Do your own research and check out the history of the vehicle.
Since Caco is sick, couldn't Jack do the review instead? Just a thought 😂. The infotainment app dilemma could have a work around if you know where to look. There are many Tesla tinkers in the web today that have reprogrammed the infotainment how they want it to be, albeit you cannot update it for future firmwares. However, I can't say for sure since the Infotainment that were tinkered were models produced from the Fremont, CA and Austin, TX.
Love the review, but reviewing a Tesla only as an ELECTRIC CAR is half the story. When you fully utilize the FSD(with AI Assist and on-board supercomputer), this is where you will see how Tesla is years ahead of other car companies. You will find out that Tesla holds the future of transportation. I was never a fan of electric cars, but driving my Tesla MY Performance with FSD for a year now is like having a personal driver (which I am used to having in the Philippines). Takes the pain of 40-mile daily commute to work. You always make good reviews and more power!
