Tesla Model Y Review: Brutally HONEST Review after 2 Years 🚗 

one of the rare HONEST reviews about these cars

Welcome Welcome Back Maya!! and I really really missed your vlogs so so much and I am so so glad to see you back again and I wish you have a wonderful Sunday🥹🥹💖

I really enjoyed your review Maya. Thanks so much for posting this.

Maya - you have to Schedule your FREE Tire Alignment & Rotation w/ TESLA mobile Service. they will come out to your HOME or WORK , takes about 1 hour. they can also FIX minor issues as well.

Hello Maya, please check your settings for interior ambient lighting. I just checked my 2023 Model Y, and I put my car in drive and the lights in the door pockets are on, and above the foot wells. I have a feeling your setting must be off. I do feel like I’m still in a cave at night with the dark window tinting in the rear. I owned a 2018 Model 3 for 5 1/2 years. I only needed tire alignment once because of new tires, a precaution. My alignment was just a little bit off in the front. For you to have had your alignment off as much in your car. Tells me someone really bumped a street curb hard while parking, or bumped hard into one of those cement ‘curb stops’ in a parking space. Doing this can really throw out your alignment, and cause what you experienced wearing out one tire so badly. Not saying you, or your husband are bad drivers, this can happen to anyone. Just remember if you bump a curb super hard, have your alignment checked. This can save you tire issues in the future. This is for any car, nut just a tesla. I like your video content. I’ll subscribe to your channel. 👍🏻

I love this video, thank you for the honesty.

Thank you for sharing this info with us!!! I don't plan on driving anytime soon but I have always wondered what the experience of this kind of car is, so this was a great way for me to see a breakdown of main points about it!! Also, some of your comments were so cute lol!! Especially like at 4:59 when you said you were going to fly away bc of the cold weather!!! 😂 And also that was so sweet at 2:29 when you guys split that sandwich awww!!!! 🥪 And alsoo at 5:34 that clip of your excitement with the quick acceleration was so funny!! 😆 This was a fun videooo thank you for it!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you. Great insight. I'm thinking about a used one. This helps decide!

Omg! I have missed your vlogs so bad!😭💜

Really enjoyed this. And loved your vibe!

Looks good thank you for this review

Great review Maya! I have the 3 thinking of upgrading to the y

Agree with everything you said! The defogging is probably my biggest pet peeve. But still love the car! Thanks for making this video!

OMG Maya!! Your car is so beautiful even after two years!!! Love you always!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

Happy you got an amazing car from your hard work. Congratulations and thank you for an honest review.

Hi Maya, FYI, the likely reason you are having premature wear issues with your tires is due to the wheels being knocked out of alignment. The curb rash on your wheels shows you are hitting the curbs when parking. Try getting a good alignment correction at the dealer, then do your best to not hit the curbs. Good luck!

My dad just picked up a model Y he loves it!

About how many miles do you get out of a set of tires? How often do you need to rotate? When rotating, do you just swap the front and rear wheels on the same side, or diagonally? Thanks.

Nice review and agreed with many of your points

Great video, wonderfully presented review. Thanks for creating and sharing. A real honest opinion is dearly appreciated.

Honest. It's rare to not get an biased fanatic.

Just bought my model Y two weeks ago and I love it. Bangtaaaan!!! 💜

If supercharger is 250 kw , you can park next to another Tesla and it doesn't slow down. If it's 150 kw or lower than yes you dont park next to another Tesla

I totally agreed about the handle!!!

I’m curious how the new 2024 compares to this was changed made to make it better?

Dang! I was planning to buy this car this week but now I’m having second thoughts. BMW is so much more but so many of the issues discussed here aren’t the problem with bimmers - tires , defogging, dark inside, seats leather discoloration, cannot connect to apps etc

Thank you for not gatekeeping

See now you make me wanna go and get a Tesla again. I’ve never owned one but I was looking into getting a model 3 awhile back. My niece beat me to it and got one. Plus that tax credit is very enticing. Nice video my dear. You gave me a lot to think about

Hi, I too had a Honda that wouldn't die. I'm not sure what your tire warranty covers for you but I found the easiest and most logical option is to Buy a tire plug kit for the nail situation. The tire shops will always tell you that the nail "is too close to the edge and the tire has to be replaced". This is absolute crap. Now I take the nails out myself and use the plugs. No more ridiculous, unnecessary tire replacements and wasted time to the tire shop. The repair is so easy too.

Harvey the Honda! 😊 Traveling graces! Tfs

Glad your Tesla experience is great.

I like this video for its honesty it didn’t really deter me from buying

Excellent review!

Whats your experience with the windshield?

Congratulations! Where did you get your sweatshirt from?

You can buy aftermarket extensions for the door handles so you won't have to do the thumb thing

Is the car insurance higher on the Teslas?

SECOND I LOVE YOU MAYA!!!

❤❤❤ love the car (Tesla Model Y) and vlog as well!

Defogging is actually a breeze. You just press the command and say "enable defogger" it works for me all the time.

You can also vent the door through the app before getting to your car

MAYA - a USB Dehumidifier works wonders. or use DAMP RID packs in your car when you park it overnight. some people , run the HVAC for a few minutes before parking it in Garage.

Can you please send a link to your steering wheel accessory?

Have you used the FSD with V12?

How do they deliver a car without an alignment done? I want to want one of these but the little things like that make me keep waiting for something from VW, Kia, or Nissan I want instead

Don’t need to every other if it’s a v3+ supercharger (thin cable)

One of the best reviews on RU-vid! Love your last comment about gratitude and treating yourself!

How about the battery life?

The Model Y Performance goes 0-60MPH in HOLYSH¡T! Acceleration never gets old.

Love my model Y. Had for 1 yr already, no issues. Added lots of accessories 😅

The worst part about the tire is, don't make the same mistake as I did, but my car is not tesla. My dad's car is Ford explorer. 1st, I reverse the car, so that I want to go out. After I reverse the car, I stop and turn the wheel, before drive and the steering wheel is damage and needs to be fix. But a day later, it's fixed. My dad told me, before stop the car from reversing, turn the wheel, so that the steering wheel is not damage. It's my 1st time that I drive a car. I follow my dad's step about reverse the car, before stop, turn the wheel. After I turn the wheel, stop and then drive and it work.

FSD 12.3.6 is night and day.. update yours. FSD is safer than most drivers on the Hwy

Good Review. Str8up!

MAYA - BTY the NEW model 3 has Starbucks coffee shelfs on the Tail Lights when the REAR trunk is open.

Hey what do you do when you hit a nail on tire? Don’t think Tesla got a spare tire

Are you blaming your Tesla for getting 4 nails in your tires?

Subscribed 👍

Love your review. Will be getting one soon.

You r so cute and the overview is helpful. Thank you!

great points, good and bad. I agree.

As a 3 and a half year Model 3 owner, I agree with all of the pros, and don’t care about the cons , as a 10 year Tesla follower ( fanboy?) I knew what I was signing on the dotted line for … And , the ambient lighting con, Tesla has that on the new Model 3, Cybertruck, coming to to future Model S and X, and the same new updates for the new Model 3 will be coming soon on the new Model Y… 👍🏾✌🏽( and don’t forget, any “ cons” can really be taken care of with Tesla aftermarket products, there are a million of them … ) Congratulations on your two year Tesla anniversary!

Lots of love from India ma'am 💜

I love Tesla. The car is so spacious and comfy. Charging is easy too. I don't drive much.

“Jus Tesla things” (TM)

😊good luck 😊

I ended up getting the model 3. I love mine, but I wish I got the model Y for the room.

Very balanced and fair review of the car. Thank you!

Thank you for the honest review. I also live in Los Angeles and see Model Y's everywhere. I almost purchased one in 2022 but instead opted for a Ford Mach-e. My issue with the '22 Tesla's was the suspension on LA Freeways. It was awful. I wish I had things like dog mode, sentry mode, and the images of cars around me on the center screen.

Does anyone know if the Tesla Model Y is actually suitable for someone who is 5'1 tall?

Defrost the windshield with the a/c on 💯

I love my 2023 M3😍

MAYA - you can buy THERMAL sunshades for any TESLA model , Tesla sells only BASIC sunshades.

"I have 20k miles after 2 years, so I drove quite a bit" we have vastly different views of a bit

Where did you get the head rests? So cute!!

On FSD , if you get a new Tesla than yes you would definitely have to buy the FSD again as it stays with the car and not the account. That is why I would never buy FSD unless it stays with the account and not the car. That is just BS in my opinion. I love my refreshed M3 LR !! First EV , puts a smile on my face every time I get in it

Sounds like you like to step on the accelerator… That explains your tire wear😂

U have ambient lighting…its in the lighting menu

The 8th comment😄. Love your videoss

check the break fluid.

I’ve never had defogging issues. Maybe a stupid question but did you turn on the defroster?

Thank u

Ummm you said it was "cold" (in CA?) and the windshield fogged up... I'm not liking the thought of how the defrosting will perform in Minnesota when it's 30 below with wind blown snow. But thanks for sharing!

I would highly recommend the ceramic tinting if you are going to keep the car long term. Though pricy, it pays for itself long term, in the heat rejection that would save the car power for ac running on hot days, which would increase your range during those months. And it's just nice not having to feel the heat from any window in the car burning your skin on hot days. Haven't even mentioned that it a plus the car would no longer be a fish bowl and you get some privacy as well. Ever since I got my m3 tinted, I threw away my sun shade because there is no longer use for it.

Nice review! To negative No. 6: you can turn on the lights in the bottom in front of the front seats. Greetings from Germany!

Why do all Teslas have Curb Rash?

4:10 “it has kept our cabin a lot cooler, by cabin i mean” and a cutoff and no finishing the sentence? hello ahh?

MAYA - you DONT ever need Apple car play or Android. the STOCK Tesla infotainment is SUPERIOR in every way.

You can start defrost before getting back to your car through your phone though right?

“…because they are really good at placing them in the middle of nowhere” 😂

Isn't the FSD linked to the car? So if you get a new one you have to buy it again? I feel like if you paid for FSD at this point, you're never going to get your money's worth because most likely it will require better hardware to function than is in the older models (or even current models). The nails in the tire are probably just bad luck. Never heard of a certain type of vehicle getting more nails in their tire than others. If you have a V3 supercharger, you don't have to worry about sharing power with other Tesla's. They each go up to 250kw. Nice review :) I'm waiting for the Juniper myself, so it'll come with interior lighting and better suspension.

Thank you, good 👍 review

MAYA - FALSE , all Tesla models have FULL UV/IR tint on the Roof . the Glass Roof is FULLY UV tinted. you can UPGRADE the tint to DARKER tint/ Polarized . ALL the Tesla have FULL LEGAL tinted REAR Windows , can also be Upgraded. some Folks add FULL Legal tint on Front Windshield & Front SIDE windows.

Defroster is a safety matter, elon needs to fix it asap

In Houston TX and have saved over $800 in gasoline cost with an average of15 miles per day of driving over past year and only home charging!!!! If I was an average American driver averaging 30-60 miles per day, do the math on savings. Love having a car that is paying me back rather than just being a money pit 24/7!!!

Literally just unbuckle seatbelt and car goes into park. No lifting of butt required least in my refreshed M3 LR. I'm assuming that is how it is in all Teslas 🤔

If i drive a lot for work like over 1000km a month easily just for work do you think it would be a good idea?

I can't believe one pedal driving is not one of your pros. in number to bumper to bumper traffic one pedal and autopilot takes a lot of stress off. No more having your foot going left and right to prepare to stop or go, now you just have your foot on one pedal and that it.

Was genuinely interested in this review until you got to the 4 nails in your tires part🤦‍♂️ good lord! So much for accurate facts when doing a review.

My CAD$35k Mazda has brake assist and lane keep assist. i could barely trust brake assist, let alone full self driving....so I wouldn't wanna pay extra for it LOL - maybe if cars were on rails, and all the dangerous idiots were removed from the roads, but not otherwise

Problem is you are stuck to that car unless you don’t want to lose crazy much in the first 3 years.. resale is awful. Auctions prices are low $20ks sellers asking $40k.. many sellers benefiting the tax incentive yet still insisting to sell another incentive in the pocket..
