ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: ELON MUSK REVEALS ALL-NEW 2024 TESLA MODEL Y WITH THE LATEST UPGRADE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Model Y receives a significant refresh, detailed extensively in this video. Key upgrades include the introduction of the 'Highland' update, enhanced camera systems (Tesla Vision with upgraded cameras), and new paint options like Quicksilver and Midnight Cherry Red, though availability in the US is pending. Interior refinements feature more spacious rear seats and new door panels with Alcantara lining. The video also touches on pricing, tax credit eligibility (noting the 5-seater variants may not qualify due to MSRP thresholds), and performance aspects, including a comparison between the 4680 battery and the older 2170 cells. While the 4680 battery offers interesting charging characteristics, its acceleration is slightly slower than the Fremont-made Long Range model, and its claimed range falls short of expectations. A notable point of contention is the alleged downgrade in brake components for the Performance trim, with smaller calipers and rotors being used, raising questions about value for money. The removal of certain automatic window features due to NHTSA regulations is also highlighted as a convenience reduction.
