SAYING GOODBYE TO MY MODEL Y PERFORMANCE... HERE'S WHY I'M UPGRADING TO JUNIPER

EV Channels Review

The reviewer is parting ways with their 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance after nearly 50,000 miles, citing a difficult but necessary decision driven by the compelling improvements in the new Model Y Juniper. While acknowledging the Performance trim's fun factor for spirited driving and canyon runs, the reviewer finds it less suitable for their daily commute, which is predominantly in traffic. The Juniper's enhancements, experienced during a 48-hour test drive, have convinced them that it's the better choice for their needs. The video details the process of returning the car to stock, including removing a vinyl wrap and swapping wheels. The reviewer also touches upon the financial aspects, such as depreciation and the expiring $7,500 tax credit, which influenced the timing of the upgrade. Despite the sentimental value and extensive modifications made to the Performance model, the reviewer concludes that the Model Y remains the best and most versatile car Tesla offers, justifying the move to the Juniper.
