Will She Keep Her Tesla? 

What I like most about your videos... the casual back and forth banter between you and your wife. No selling. No fluff. Just a honest conversation about the competition vehicles. Kudos to the two of you.

This video interaction between you and your wife reviewing these EV suv's getting that female impression is epic . I think you should do it on a regular basis

“Does the Tesla Model Y have adequate service for its owner and is it completely harmless to him?” I've been using this model for a little less than a year. During this time, I managed to drive through the state of New Jersey including a trip to Florida and back of no more than 5,000 miles. Unlike as a professional who review the advantages and disadvantages of various models. I consider myself as an ordinary user of the machine which I chose for one or another reason. But now I want to dwell only on two comments that bother me the most. I must admit that after using this car for a while, my wife and I became to fear of this model for two important points. The first point surprises me with its simplicity and why it is not implemented in such an advanced car! I mean the moment when the driver forgets the keys, and in this case, the phone, when leaving the car. I'm sure this has happened to everyone at least once. What did my previous car "MURANO" if the keys were left inside the car? The car was loudly beeped to force the driver return back and resolve the problem. What does the advanced "MODEL Y" do? The system sends a message to the phone, which was forgotten inside the car. HELLO! Nobody in car. The car is still open and car remains completely unprotected from any attacks. That why I'm not happy with such a service. But my second remark is even more serious. Let's say you got into the driver's seat and drove the car out of the garage using reverse. You have to stopped in front of the garage and are waiting for the passenger to take his seat. The driver parked the car while he waits for the passenger. The passenger opened the door and at the same time on the computer screen you can see the inscription: “Door open”. Great! But let's not rush. Let's say the driver at this moment has the phone conversation, and was forget to put the car into the Parking mode. If driver foot doesn’t push the acceleration pedal. The car doesn’t move at all. The passenger opened the door and decided to take his seat. At that moment the driver’s leg twitched nervously and he mechanically pressed the accelerator pedal that brought the engine to work. What do you think will happen to the passenger at this moment? I will answer for you. He will be thrown by the car at distance that will depend on how hard the driver presses the pedal. One day I forgot to put the car in park mode. What happened after that horrified me! I threw my wife six feet back. Am I to blame for what I did? Of course I'm guilty! But did the manufacturer provide for such a possibility? Obviously, it wasn't. Everyone one knows the following statement: "The Safety First"! With a longer study of the capabilities of the new car, you will learn that in exactly the same situation, when the driver did not switch the car to the appropriate mode, but only removed his foot from the accelerator pedal, and at the same time opened the driver side door, the car will be automatically switched to the parking mode. At the same time on the monitor can be written a sign: “Vehicle automatically parked to prevent rollaway”. Now questions to the manufacturer. Why didn't the manufacturer have such a simple task as protecting the passenger from possible driver errors? Especially since the car is equipped with a sufficient number of sensors both inside and outside the cabin. Why the manufacturer didn't provide the same options for passenger? All doors in the car should work the same. Is this a reliable service? I would ask professionals to provide clarification on the issues I raised or help with refining the program so that it would be possible to control the situation when all doors are opened.

She makes a good point about the boot up “disclaimers”. It’s like legacy manufacturers always want to tell you how to drive. Tesla and Rivian have much cleaner startups.

I love my refreshed M3 LR. I love the tech and minimalism they are fantastic. The car is ridiculously fast. Only get Tesla from now on

Will watch Jennie in any video. Her perspective is invaluable.

Hey Ben & Jennie, Thank you both for the honest reviews. Nice to see you both :)

Wow you Wife Told it Like it is I did think she would say the first one but no she still Chose the Tesla That Did Surprises me I Guess she a No Frills kinda Girl lol Great Honest Review thanks

Great video mate. I am contemplating between model Y and Audi etron so this was perfect.

I love jennie's evaluation style

Seems like a good series - Jennie tries out; where she provides her take on one high end and one mid-range EV and whether she would switch. I'm curious what her thoughts are on the BMW iX (to be fair I'm biased on that one - traded in my wife's model x for the BMW.)

What did Nissan fill the front with, that it has no frunk?

Good choice on Tesla model Y

MY needs a M3 layout upgrade, and CT tech

Always love when you bring the wife in. She sounds like an average person buying a car. Curious if you will bring in the Cadillaq Optiq as it would just be on when she gets into the car like the tesla, but gives her that more luxury vibe, and what about say the Honda Prologue. Your wife like the utility of sport utility vehicles, but she doesnt not seem to be a high maintenance person.

We are a family of 5 with 2 EVs - Model Y and Ev6. Any consideration of Ev9? 3 rows of seats would be really nice, no?

Have you tried the Cadillac Lyriq? Aside from being the side of a Model X, it is quite impressive and a decent price before tax credits

Hi , we have two Ioniq 6 for the last year , we love them , have you tried them

That’s a wrap Let’s go eat!

Has she had a chance to see the Rivian R2? I’d be interested to see what she thought about it compared to her model y.

I recently rented a model y on Turo because me and my wife are looking to go electric. Everything about the car was great except that 4 times during our drive using traffic aware autopilot, it pushed on the breaks pretty hard there was a car in front of us but it was no where near close enough to break that hard. I'm not sure if that's the phantom breaking issue or just how AP works. I haven't heard much on it so I'm not sure.

Charging is the most critical factor to me… Anything other than Tesla superchargers adds a whole level of vulnerability and worry. Also, Tesla is intuitive. You don’t have to turn the system on or off, regen is always on, anything the system can figure out for you it does. For me there is no comparison.

I have driven a lot of EV. For me Tesla is Tesla but for Built quality the BMW is on another level let her try it.

If you like the muted more "refined" drive then try the 2024 Model Y. It is more tame and boring than my 2020 was :(

I’m not surprised that she likes the MY. The Audi is far too expensive for most of us, and in fact I’ve been seriously considering buying a used one because of Tesla’s ability to improve with age. Good video!

If you don't HAVE to have a new car ... for $50K you can get a lightly used Cadillac Lyriq. I just got mine last week and it's a WHOLE 'nother level from the cars you're looking at here.

Smart man, letting the missus do the review...

Tesla for sure. Non pretentious smart and hip choice. The Audi and Nissan were already built outdated. No dog mode, Supercharger routing or an amazing app. It's still years ahead. Your wife is extremely sharp. She could have chosen Audi to show off but shes well grounded and doesnt need a premium German brand to compensate. Clean and stylish is a perfect description of the Tesla.

I always appreciate Jennie’s observations, but I’d opt for an E-GMP model.

Thank you

The Audi did not seem as premium as I anticipated. The rear cargo area is very elevated and I don't think a large dog would be comfortable back there.

I wished we had in Ireland US prices, its like car dreamland :) Audi would be my choice, but the Q6 Sline

I agree with the others that have commented.... Why are you asking her to pick the 2024 Nissan, 2024 Audi, or 2020 Model Y???? Why didn't you let her test drive the latest 2024 Model Y ?? Come on Ben.....

Every time I see your wife I want to say Jennie like Forest Gump🤣

Great choice I don’t think the y can be beat in the us yet. Until the new y comes out;)

When is she gonna test drive the new Macan EV?

Jen - I'm keeping my 2020 MYP as well. It's still the best product out there. I might even trade up for a Juniper next year. I dig the utility and they're so simple...point and shoot, u don't even think about it anymore...it's just efficient. All these new ones are kind of bummers TBH. IMO, the Silverado (Sil-EV-Rado?) & Rivian are the only ones close. I just wish elon would come back to the light side, the love side, the rational side. Just imagine if Covid never happened and he got all butt-hurt over masking for a few weeks. If not for that one event, things may be much different today. Such a small man, I'm not mad...just disappointed, really, really disappointed. It's hard to continue supporting the Art, not the Artist...but it's still a damn good product, an until that changes...I'm still a FanBoi...but moreso with Hans, at least that's what I keep telling ppl. Good to see ya. Hope the house is coming along well. Curious to see how that pool house will do in the hawt summer heat.

Not surprised AT ALL here… her comments and remarks with the non teslas were kinda .. meh.. right from the get go.. next.

Your wife would love the nio cars. If available in America.

Will she try a new 2024 Model Y since the comparison was against other new EVs?

Let her try a Rivian..

The music edited in is very loud compared to the rest of the video

The model Y is not more 60 000$. It's now 47 990$ before Federal Tax Credit. Be carful with the fact please.

Just ban all Cars!

someone tell car companies that making electric cars wheels not ugly is not punishable by death
