TESLA MODEL Y 2022 INCREDIBLE NEW FEATURES AND WINTER TEST OF RANGE, HEATING, SUPERCHARGING

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD is reviewed, highlighting its efficiency, winter range capabilities, and charging performance. The reviewer praises the "animal-free" interior, the updated infotainment system with customizable widgets, and the new heated steering wheel function, noting its quick warm-up. The winter heating test, where the car maintained cabin temperature for 24 hours with minimal battery drain (approx. 1.3% per hour), is deemed a "very decent result," alleviating fears of being stranded in cold weather. The blind spot monitor and "Boombox" external speaker feature are also noted as welcome additions. However, the review strongly criticizes the suspension, calling it "absolute rubbish" and a "major drawback," particularly on rough roads, stating it detracts from the premium feel and is worse than many competitors. The reviewer also points out the misleading projected range display, urging users to rely on the energy meter instead. Despite these criticisms, the Model Y's strengths in efficiency, software, and the Supercharger network are acknowledged as key advantages.
