Tesla Model Y driving REVIEW with high speed Autobahn test! AWD long range 2022 

I always wondered why you advocate for animal free materials. Isn't leather a byproduct of the meat industry? As long as meat demand far overweighs leather demand and cows get killed anyway, why should so many leather pelts go to waste instead of being used?

08:05 die unterschiedle Lichttemperatur hat einen Grund. Nämlich die Autopilot Software :) Wenn du dir den AI Day von Tesla ansiehst - da erwähnen die das soweit ich mich erinneren kann.

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. Please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nP_CvLlaFlI.html In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tkjCAmq1_8E.html Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u94YXJ72UTA.html Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

@@autogefuehl ... Hi there. Interesting review since i'm considering buying a Tesla. Got 2-3 questions : in your video you said you wouldnt recommend the 'performance' version. Why is that ? and as far as suspension is concerned, is it too stiff ? not enough ? ... and one last point, you mentioned something about 'ambient light' in the tunnel. What do you mean by that, i.e. what were you missing ?. Cheers.

What about the widely reported super-aggresive regen?

@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea More about this in my review in the driving part. You could adjust it in the infotainment in older models, not available anymore though.

Actually feel the rear seating comfort is not that great, compared to for example ID.4 or Enyaq. The seats are pretty flat and as a tall person I would prefer the bench being higher from the floor. Knees in a awkward position.

@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea You learn how to press the pedal so that it never feels aggressive. It's only aggressive when you let off the pedal entirely.

@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea As Duncan mentioned you learn to adjust your feel of acceleration pedal, then it becomes very smooth. The good thing is eventually you don't need to use brake pedal, except emergency situation. Car comes to complete stop very gently. If you manoeuvre up or down the hill you never need to worry that car will roll unexpectedly.

Yeah that’s indeed very nice!

That’s how it works in Tesla. Very practical solution which me and my wife use a lot in model S.

Surprises me that some reviewers complain about the lack of buttons to control things like wing mirrors when they get used once and after that you may as well tear them out of the car and throw them away 🤣

Yeah, it's such a nightmare having to adjust a seat and wing mirrors when you get in a car. People really struggle with that shit.

Yep that’s why I was confused why he didn’t like the placement of the mirrors and steering wheel adjustments. You just set it to whatever you want, and then save the profile and BAM it’s immediately saved forever. Saves your seating position, steering wheel placement, mirror settings, and automatically adjusts it back to wherever you want with 1 click. And can save multiple profiles for multiple people. This seemed like a non-issue to me since you only ever set it once and it’s saved forever

😁

I still find it odd that Germans don't use tape measures.

@@autogefuehl Thomas the big bins at the sides of the trunk is the best place for the charging cables, etc. Then you have the under floor and the frunk empty. Also lift the floor behind the seats. Useful storage there well.

But Born's got a laser measure for even more accuracy!

@@ksmith660 a fricken laser!

Apple has proven that for a decade..

And bmw

You get what you pay for. Low price = cheap quality most of the time. Doesn’t matter if it is made in China/US/UK or whatever.

still...Model Y and 3 SRs use batteries from a Chinese company...as Jackie Chan said before "中國的會爆炸" I would buy the LRs and the performance versions, even though the car itself is still made in China, the batteries are made by LG

@@aidanlee2871 Oh, I know that joke "中國的會爆炸". But I have to say it has been an old joke and it was not used on describing a battery. I thought he was talking about the television.

How do you find the suspension? Is it as bad as reviewers make out or actually OK?

IF the MIC model y handles like that with him saying amazing sooo many times and comparing it to a gt3. I can't wait for him to test the german one and give his thoughts.

Esp since very likely the MYs from Berlin will come with 4680 batteries which means most likely a drop in consumption due to lighter weight and a hefty increase in range - like 20%. Plus most likely in additional cool colours because of the brand new paint shop and - rumour has it - maybe even air suspension... plus it should be cheaper because import tax will disappear.

Order in already! Just have to convince the wife :-S ;-)

@@globalimpactinstitute I'm hearing that possibly only the performance model will come with 4680s otherwise they'd really upset all the early buyers of the MIC long range.

Thanks for your extensive Feedback ☺️

True, with new Model S Yoke...people who try it for a day "complain"....people who try it for a week love it and don't want to go back. Some tesla features have a little learning curve.

Heads up display would be the icing on the cake. Augmented reality would be amazing, road signs etc beamed onto the screen

And, normally by voice control. "Open glove box"

Incase your wife is on the prowl for you mistresses panties

Yes. Except the S/X have a physical button which is just electric, so you can still set a PIN. Pressing the button will then pop up the PIN display. I think it is a question of design, in the SX they could hide the button next to the screen. In the 3Y there is nowhere to hide it, so they removed it

Not really an explanation on the cameras. They could adjust image temperature settings for just the driver view in the car, that would have no effect on the camera parameters as utilized by their neural net.

One pedal driving is so nice. You end up only ever touching the brakes like 1-2 times during a normal drive and only ever in emergency or hard breaking situations. It really is just a better system overall

Was it Robin?

Yes but due to the high floor you feel like you're squatting instead of sitting :(

I have a Db measurement on my Apple Watch. However when you pay so much for a watch you can’t afford a Tesla.

Except this is going to make glove boxes now suddenly unreliable. Something noone on earth has ever had a problem with the last 100 years. You could lock these with a simple reagular lock that never ever fails.. without any electronics whatsoever. That we know will fail sooner or later.

@@martinsvensson6884 Not sure that is really a problem. The car doors are already electric (in all cars with frameless windows), and you operate them a lot more than the glovebox. And they are a lot more critical. I think removing the button was mostly a question of design. In the S/X they found a place on the dash next to the screen to hide the button (and it is still electric, so can be blocked by pin). On the 3/Y there was no good spot, so design trumped utility because most people use the glovebox very seldom.

It's not that there isn't a part, it's just that a) you can't see it b) it is more complicated and expensive than a simple latch and key

It can also be unlocked with the voice recognition software Just say “open glove compartment” and it pops right open. Much more convenient than using the screen

Yes but why not give them a simple temperature adjustment circuit? My guess is that it’s just a cost thing.

@@mondotv4216 Yes they can process the stream before sending to the display, my guess is they prioritize other tasks for the precious computing and power cap, the users rarely turn those video on anyway. Besides, there will be some people want to see what the car actually sees.

Cool technical explanation. Thanks.

@@mondotv4216 they could in the Y. But in the 3 it was a feature they came up with in software after having designed the hardware. But I guess they could do it in a hardware refresh or update.

@@EtherOne yes, I think they could implement better auto dim behavior just by using the existing cameras. Hope to see that in an update sometime.

yeah it should change according to current light and not gps based

I've been driving a Model S for almost 3 years and didn't notice this. Using the cameras for this would be a simple software update, no light sensor needed.

I keep dark mode all day.

I did 600 miles in a rented Model 3 and manually set the display in night mode. It's just like having an iPhone in dark mode and I think actually works better in most scenarios.

👍

Sorry, that’s some convoluted BS you’re spreading here. Teslas don’t need scheduled service? They don’t even have a proper service network for starters. Don’t be a blind fanboy not cute..

@@ilcomendante They actually do, however it varies from region to region. This is not 2018..tesla has been expanding like crazy. How many service delay complaints you still hear -- compared to situation 3 years ago.

Highly appreciated! Also tune in to our winter episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZKVZDqDyYn4.html

Same but faster;)

According to Fully Charged, ICE need more electricity per mile than EVs!

Yes, because supplies to build either come from heaven.

Cars are the easy sector to achieve clean emissions. The production chain is being addressed, and it is quite obvious a difficult task. It will be years before we can produce rare earth metals cleanly, but the day will come. We shouldn’t sit and twiddle our thumbs because every single sector isn’t completely clean yet; humans need to innovate in order to ensure our survival, even after the earth is no longer here.

@@passing_bye5991 Elon is not the messiah - his 'release' of those patents was just a page on Tesla's website claiming they would not sue for patent infringement if the company using the patent agreed to never sue anybody for infringing on its own patents. You can see how such an arrangement is useful to a startup that doesn't really know how to build a car properly.

The thing is, here in North America we don’t have many EVs, at least not good ones, and there’s basically no where to charge unless you got a tesla. That’s why 8 out of 10 EVs sold here at teslas! I drove the model Y and didn’t find the suspension too stiff, i think it’s mostly just the high tire pressure, of like 44psi. Lower it to just 35 gets the ride that is really smooth.

Ive driven a lot of Audi/Mercedes/BMW and I don't like Mercedes suspension except for the sport versions for example. I think the tesla suspension is very, very good... Even better than the standard suspension on the BMW 3-4 series.

Try a VW. Very good suspensions, overall.

@@harsimranbansal5355 Makes for too much vertical movement at that low a psi over wavy and dippy roads.

Unfortunately the frunk is not that safe. There's an emergency latch on the outside to open the frunk. It's meant for the fire brigade, to access a switch in the frunk which shuts off the electrical system of the car.

Moose test is one thing, but real world feel is another

There’s a big if though, the regen on the tesla is a lot stronger and can’t be turned off. The speeds at the end of the test were a lot lower on the tesla than the taycan

👌

Interesting aspect

good luck opening your glove box when your car has no power...

@@daviddavidsonn3578tesla really cant get to 0 power, if it does tho - opening of glovebox is the least of your conserns)

not with that suspension

No. German cars with that weight dont have sub par suspension.

@@martinsvensson6884 Did you even read what he said? Tesla has wishbone/multilink only Audi afaik has true multilink.

@@rkan2 I think it’s probably more tuning of the suspension with the tires and weight taken into account etc, not just so much the suspension set up itself that makes the difference.

That is not how suspension systems work. There are only a few different common designs, but it's the specific geometry and tuning that makes every vehicle unique, in particular the specification of the shocks and springs.

Highly appreciated!

White balance is a very simple thing to solve in post-processing, which Tesla did not choose to do. Every smartphone in the world does it. In fact, I would not be surprised if they release a software update which will fix this.

@@dmitri7456 no. The cameras just capture two colours. You would need a third color in order to properly reconstruct the color with good accuracy.

@@lmmo77 I don't think you understand much at all about post-processing. The camera could be black and white and the post-processed image could be color, as long as you have a reference image, which you do in this case. But nvm, not going to bother arguing this on RU-vid.

@@dmitri7456 good that you know more than everyone else (Tesla engineers included). A pity that you don't want to share your knowledge. If you can guide me to some information about color spaces with just 2 dimensions that have a good color reproduction, I would appreciate. Thanks!

Might look more natural if they displayed them in black and white.

Some kind of "software color correction" would be nice to normalize the color temperature for the entire screen.

@@tcfs the point is that there's no green channel, you can take the clear channel perhaps but it will always look off. Perhaps they already apply the colour correction lut the manufacturer of the cameras has made.

👌

The i4 is embarrassing slow for it’s price

Our Kia EV6 review is now here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1rpS311emAQ.html

Less is not better when you remove things you need. Speedo should OF COURSE be in front of the driver. Everything else is a compromise. And attention from road is not the place to compromise.

I agree - I have the 2018 Q5 and I set the ambient light colour once and never touched it again I barely even notice it… just a gimmick the famed virtual cockpit is largely useless here in Canada as we cannot use google maps there but only the inferior awful audi maps so I always use the google on the carplay on the display to the right - maybe I sometimes glance to check my speed in front but mostly I look to the right for the maps, music and the rest… so no, the display in the front is not needed at all.. head up displays just put stuff in my field of view causing a distraction/disturbance and I find them annoying.. I prefer the clean view - nothing to obstruct or distract my Q5 is the highest trim there is, and I find that most of it is a one time thing, not needed and/or poorly implemented like the charging pad or the cupholders or the storage etc.. just bad and in their refresh they did worse - hence I put the order on the MY and will be returning the audi in a month.. and yeah consumption is astronomical in the city where I drive 99% of my time.. short commutes.. like 18-20 L/100km.. most of these complaints are about the things u either don’t need or are just a matter of habit and getting used to smth else.. in my opinion, better

@@martinsvensson6884 Do you have a Model 3 or Y to be so sure? The way Tesla puts the speed indication on the top left of the display makes it work as well if not better than with the traditional display in front of the driver, which requires even more travel from the eye as it’s lower and often through the steering wheel. Tesla’s solution is elegant and working perfectly. Now you could still prefer to have an additional Head up display, which is another discussion.

@@mjaminian No it doesnt. You can probably delude yourself into thinking that. But there is a reason they placed the speedo in your line of sight straight ahead where you're going. For the past 100 years. I dont need a Tesla to look in that direction while driving. Any time you look to the side you lose focus of what happens in front of you. Doesnt matter what you tell yourself. So its an idiotic placement.

@@drMomirPantelic The insturments should ALWAYS be in the line of sight in the direction you keep your eyes. Or you will lose focus anytime you look to the side. Its an IDIOTIC placement. No matter what you try to tell yourself. ANY objective measurement of your eyes/brain focus will show you loss of attention when looking elsewhere than in the direction you're driving. Also damn irritating to have to look to the side in not the direction you're going. Its not in line with human physiology.

Should never use other tire pressure than what the manufacturer has stated. Can upset the car in unexpected ways during emergancy. Also it will increase consumtion significantly.

Elon agrees, “Highly recommend dropping tire pressure 10% below max to ~39 psi for comfort. Only affects range by ~2%” - from his twitter post. Toyo is good about posting the Load and Inflation Tables from The Tire and Rim Association (US standards publication). Find that and you can confirm that lower pressures are safe.

Not sure about the Texas factory, but the rest of the world will be great. The Fremont built ones are horrible. I don’t see the Texas ones built any better. The Americans that buy Teslas have a cult like mentality, and will accept any quality Tesla gives them.

@@cargueone1971 I disagree. The Fremont facility is very old and outdated now. I think eventually only low volume cars such as S X and roadster will be produced in Fremont. All car companies have fanatical fans it’s not limited to Tesla. And they have had no issues putting up with the garbage unreliable over engineered ICE crap as well.

@@JAM_2024 Toyota’s Mississippi plant is one of Toyota’s newest plants and assembly quality is horrible on Corollas, compared the the Corolla built in Japan. It’s very noticeable. Also Fremont may be old, but not the equipment. The assembly workers are also the most experienced on assembling Teslas. With cheaper labor and inexperienced Texas workers, I don’t see the quality any better than Fremont. In this current era, talented workers in the trade tend to open their own businesses and for for themselves rather to work in a factory for a corporation. The current American work pool is very limited on skilled trades people, compared to the rest of the world, and our country has become more service oriented trained in our workforce.

@@cargueone1971 Elon excplained already that the quality will go up tremendously once the new factories open. Right now they just can't shut down the production lines at Fremont for a complete overhaul because they need the cashflow.

lol how old was that A4? At least in germany curtain airbags are standard in all cars in the last 10 years.

👌

Yes, there is and it makes a big difference in handling.

Yep, comfort, standard and sport. He kept saying how sporty the steering is but you can adjust it to whatever level you like

Model S/X does the same, but still provides a button integrated in the design. It’s an electric button, and will pop up the PIN on the screen if enabled
