Welcome to Just Get a Tesla, where I do a series of tests and challenges to help show people that instead of shopping around for EVs they should just get a Tesla...
In this episode I explore what the Model Y LR is like for comfort. What is the suspension like to live with? Is it a harsh ride? Does it handle well? And what happens when you floor the throttle?
I take my Tesla on a series of ride and handling tests. First a fast country road to test general ride comfort. Then into town to see how it handles broken tarmac and sunken grids. Finally a B-road thrash and a 0-60 launch.

Hi. Just enjoyed the video trip - very interesting and entertaining with wonderful scenery too. You have really got to grips with the handling around the narrow roads and lanes - great camera work!! Thanks again for sharing. Regards RickLG

I have a Y LR with the 19" wheels and have the same analysis that you had regarding the wheel size. I now have about 33K miles or over 51K KM on it and it has been flawless. The suspension is taut, and I wish they offered an air suspension to soften in a bit but it's not punishing, just a bit firm. Anyway, I enjoyed your review and feel the same way about my Model Y as you do.

performace with 21 rims bad ? not comfortable?

@kabysummit5801 Год назад

I love how quiet and stable it is. I'm going to buy the 2024 model Y

@sanalkumarc Год назад

nice video. I also got an MYLR on 1st of March, and I am feeling quiet a bumpy ride. I believe UK still has the old stock, heard that they are built in Giga Shanghai in December. So I don't believe we have comfort suspension yet.

@greghudson9717 8 месяцев назад

Hi Ian. You must have much softer suspension than I do. My chinese MY 2wd is as harsh as a pint of bitter. I was thinking of getting the softer suspension, but decided against it as I'll be changing the Y for a Model Q/2 when that arrives (assuming the range is decent). I will give the sport steering mode a go though... Regards, Greg.

I think suspension is pretty subjective. From for you may not be for me

@no-oneman.4140 Год назад

Very interesting video. I have a Kona EV, suspension is fine. Test drove a Model Y six months ago , love the car hated the crashy ride. Waiting for us in the UK to get the 'softer' suspension though no one can tell me if and when. Then I'll put my order in. I'm in my 60's now so comfort trumps handling.

Going from an Outlander PHEV to a Tesla MYLR myself, delivery in 2 weeks :) Great video

@lesru7 Год назад

Thanks for video. I like all the scene and terrains in the video. Nice to see the ride passing through all of them. Btw, for my personal preference, Y has the stiff suspension, comparing to other similar size of crossover with the similar price tag. New drivers need time to get used to it.

@lindarydel6142 Год назад

When I bought my mod y I sold a 2018 sportage gtline s also on 19 alloys the ride was a lot harsher and handling no comparison great video chris

@justgetatesla Год назад

Exactly - so many cars have harsh ride with rubber band tyres that have no sidewall to give. This car is much better riding than others I have owned / ridden in. It's not perfect, but it's decent

@gadgetman7119 Год назад

great video mate! I have th exact same model as yours , I noticed that you have proximity warning on your infotainment screen... something here in Israel we do not have. Ion fact , we have no warning of proximity alerts what so ever... did you recently get that option in ur car or u had it from day one ? mine is model 2023 without sensors.

@justgetatesla Год назад

I have USS as the car was built in summer 2022. Most of the time the arcs on screen are meaningless

@ck-fn6ei Год назад

Thanks for the video. I'll be interested to see how the suspension compares with my Toyota CHR once my Y is delivered

@jaredebeling1412 Год назад

Hi, can re-gen braking be turned off with Tesla?

@4035andrew Год назад

Yes. But you need to get into the service menu which is made for dealers. You can find videos on RU-vid showing how to do this.

@jaywhlr Год назад

enjoy watching ur vids, i pick up my MY on friday from Bristol! 😊 which bracket/mount do u use for ur go pro?

@justgetatesla Год назад

I need a new mount. This is a kluge combo of official go pro suction mount and ? From eBay. Secured at the bottom to reduce vibration with sting around the headrest!!!

@jesperklausen1868 Год назад

Another great video. Thanks :). How much psi do you have in your tires ?

@Steve-wy1rj Год назад

Thanks for making this. The suspension was 1 remaining concern before I put my money where my mouth is. Did you pay for the performance upgrade on your long-range?

@justgetatesla Год назад

Haven't done yet! How fast does it need to be 😂

@curseknight5 8 месяцев назад

Have you had the chance to try an Ioniq 5? I'm certain the turning radius must feel much worst on that than on the Y!

@justgetatesla 8 месяцев назад

Haven’t driven one. They look deceptively large in the metal…

@billhunsinger862 Год назад

With a larger diameter tire that has a shorter sidewall thus less rubber to flex gives a stiffer ride.

@JohnDoe-by4xz Год назад

What do you think the back seats ride like? I always get mixed reviews

@justgetatesla Год назад

I've been driven around sat in the back - a fantastic environment to travel in! A huge glass area

@martinmckie4388 Год назад

great video as ever - I am planning test drive model y in march. I am also considering model x - but that may be too much £ - however, it has air suspension. I wonder if air suspension for the Y has ever been mooted or requested? Anyone have thoughts on ride comfort X v Y?

@justgetatesla Год назад

I haven't driven an X, but much bigger car so even with air suspension won't handle as well as a Y. Which in turn doesn't handle as well as a 3

@Bjornar_Gjostol Год назад

how does it compare to the Ioniq 38 Kwh? The Ioniq feels very loose on the road I will be getting my Model Y LR on March 13th

@justgetatesla Год назад

Ioniq is chuckable but the steering is numb. Much better feel in the Tesla

@JB_Adventurer Год назад

Hi, great videos. Hope you can help. I have a 2022 model Y (72reg) and don’t appear to have the lines on the screen when the car is near an object like you do. Any clues ?

@justgetatesla Год назад

I assume you don't have ultrasonic sensors fitted

@ravkhangurra7522 Год назад

Great video, which camera are you using

@justgetatesla Год назад

GoPro Hero 10 for the main camera, also Google Pixel 6 Pro

@chrishyde1216 Год назад

Tried a MY rwd and a M3 rwd, and thought they were both fun to drive but preferred the ride, handling and slightly narrower width of the latter and, as we don't need the space of the Y, we're getting a 3. No USS, but prefer the £5500 price drop. Impressive judgement and skill on those roads.

@justgetatesla Год назад

3 handles better than Y, that's absolutely true

@yurikislytsia8596 Год назад

Suspension is the most important consideration point when buying Tesla MY 'SUV'. I have M3 and it has stiff suspension and you will be punished by horrible south east roads. Test drove MY and must say it is too hard after new Honda CRV. Tesla has to somehow soften the suspension up a little at least on non-performance models. SUV has to be forgiving to the road surface. There is not much clearance on MY. Given the battery is underneath and vulnerable to damage, speed humps cannot be ignored as on ICE SUVs. P.S. Dont even think about 20 inch wheels. Go for a softer 19 inch. I personally will wait until suspension improves on this otherwise excellent performance EV SUV.

@justgetatesla Год назад

It's a balance! Having now done 10k miles I don't find the suspension to be too hard. Yes it is stiff, but that allows it to be hustled. Softer suspension = less hustle. Like when I went from a BMW E91 3-series to an F10 5-series. Softer suspension made it a barge rather than the ultimate driving machine

@magistratemagistrate5177 Год назад

@@justgetateslaI am considering trading my F10 5 series for Model Y. Which should I take P or LR? Suspensions make me sad ?

Bias fanboy thinks the rubbish ride and handling is ok. What a surprise.

@justgetatesla Год назад

Fanboi? I describe the ride on various other vehicles I have owned - from very firm to very soft. I'm not saying the Model Y is a magic carpet ride. But it isn't brittle and harsh either.

@immodsr9348 Год назад

Bias antifans everywhere.. what a surprise 😄

@bradytorvik6294 Год назад

@@justgetatesla You perfectly described it. The model y ride is not a soft or floaty ride, but the complaints about the suspension are really overblown. I go over the same stretch of roads with different cars all the time and it's the sound the Y makes going over bumps that's really different rather than how it feels. I also test drove a lot of EVs and for me the Y is just a lot more fun to drive. The other EVs were great cars too and I'm sure a better fit for lots of people -- but if you're looking for an exciting car to drive the Y is definitely worth a shot.
