2023 MODEL Y LONG RANGE IS CLOSER TO JUNIPER THAN OLDER MODELS - LOVE CAR WASH MODE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer compares their 2023 Model Y Long Range to the newer "Juniper" (2026) Model Y. While the Juniper offers improvements in noise, vibration, harshness (NVH), and ride comfort, the difference is not as dramatic as expected, especially compared to older 2020-2022 models. The 2023 model, equipped with the comfort suspension added in late 2022/early 2023, is described as already smooth, quiet, and comfortable. However, the Juniper is noted to be more efficient, with the reviewer estimating a 10% improvement in consumption. Camera quality, specifically a pink hue in the repeater cameras, is mentioned as an area needing improvement. The video also demonstrates the "Car Wash Mode" feature, highlighting its utility in protecting the vehicle during automated washes, including folding mirrors. The reviewer expresses satisfaction with the 2023 Model Y's overall performance and comfort, having driven it for 45,000 miles.
