TESLA 2026 MODEL Y ULTRA RED USING FSD 13.2.9

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides an extensive, hands-on evaluation of the 2026 Tesla Model Y, particularly focusing on the performance of FSD 13.2.9 and the vehicle's overall efficiency and comfort. The FSD system is praised for its human-like driving, seamless navigation through congested Dallas-Fort Worth traffic, and precise maneuvers, with only one minor navigation-related intervention noted. The reviewer highlights the Model Y's significantly improved quietness and ride comfort compared to previous generations, attributing this to advancements in suspension and sound dampening. Efficiency is a key takeaway, with the reviewer reporting approximately 10% better energy consumption (261 Wh/mile lifetime) than their previous Model Y, and even better local efficiency (244-232 Wh/mile on recent drives). A cross-country efficiency comparison with a 2023 Model Y is planned. The vehicle's value proposition, considering its price after federal credits, is deemed remarkable.
