The Daily Motor team takes their long-term 2021 Tesla Model Y Standard Range to Gingerman Raceway for a track day, exploring its capabilities and limitations. While the Model Y's inherent low center of gravity and instant torque provide a fun driving experience, the reviewer highlights significant drawbacks for track use. The inability to fully disable stability and traction control, and the persistent regenerative braking, hinder performance. The stock all-season tires and slippery seats also contribute to a less-than-ideal track setup. A key modification involved disabling the ABS by pulling a wheel speed sensor, which dramatically improved brake feel and allowed for more control, albeit with a significant risk of flat-spotting tires. Despite these challenges, the reviewer finds the Model Y surprisingly capable and enjoyable on track, especially after the modifications, concluding that with some adjustments, even the Standard Range can offer a fun track day experience.
