Why the New Tesla Model Y Is a Great Deal Right Now!

Why the New Tesla Model Y Is a Great Deal Right Now!

The new Tesla Model Y, referred to as the 'Juniper' or 'Launch Edition', is presented as a significant upgrade over the previous g... eneration, despite a notable price increase. The reviewer highlights numerous improvements including an 18 km range boost (partially due to included acceleration boost), enhanced aerodynamics, a more heat-reflective glass roof, a new front camera with washer, faster power-folding rear seats, and a 50% reduction in vibration and noise. Interior comfort is also improved with better cabin microphones, a 16-speaker sound system (on dual motor variants), and an optional 8-inch rear display. While the base price is high and incentives have been removed, the reviewer argues the 'Launch Edition' can be a good deal if opting for expensive add-ons like premium paint, larger wheels, and Full Self-Driving, as these are included. However, for buyers not seeking these options, waiting for the non-launch edition or looking at existing inventory for discounts is advised. The reviewer expresses mixed feelings about the return of the turn signal stalk and the gear selector remaining on the screen. less

Cybertruck as a Winter Vehicle? Is It Any Good?

Cybertruck as a Winter Vehicle? Is It Any Good?

The reviewer explores the Tesla Cybertruck's capability as a winter vehicle, finding it surprisingly adept. Key highlights include easy entry and... exit with optional running boards, effective preconditioning for warmth and battery performance, and impressive grip on snow-covered roads thanks to its all-season Wrangler tires. The reviewer notes the truck's smooth, sports-car-like handling and excellent all-wheel steering. Downsides mentioned are the significant attention the vehicle attracts and its high energy consumption, with efficiency lower than Tesla's Model 3 and Y. The high price point, around $158,000 in Ontario with HST, is also a consideration. Despite the efficiency and cost, the reviewer concludes that the Cybertruck offers a compelling package for those seeking an electric pickup with performance and utility, recommending a test drive before purchase. less

Is the Cybertruck Worth It in Canada? An Owner's First Hand Experience

This video offers an owner's firsthand perspective on the Tesla Cybertruck, focusing on its practicality and driving experience in Canada. The ow... ner highlights the effortless steer-by-wire system, though notes it can be disorienting when switching back to conventional vehicles. While acknowledging the Cybertruck's size requires adjustment, they find it manageable and appreciate the spacious interior. A key observation is the truck's heavier feel and less instantaneous acceleration compared to a Model Y, attributed to its size and likely the Dual Motor configuration.

The reviewer concludes that while FSD is a significant step forward and a great option for frequent drivers, it has not yet reached a point where it can consistently outperform human driving capabilities. The reviewer also mentions the specific vehicle tested is a 2023 Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive, a model no longer produced in China. less
Forget Waiting! I Am Making My Own Juniper Tesla Model Y!

Forget Waiting! I Am Making My Own Juniper Tesla Model Y!

They suggest that the Model 3 might be easier to work on for such modifications. The video concludes with a realistic portrayal of the challenges involved in car modifications, advising viewers to consider their own comfort level and the potential warranty implications. less

Not a Good Idea 2024 Tesla Model X Plaid

The 2024 Tesla Model X Plaid is presented as a significant step up from the Model Y, particularly in ride quality and acceleration, which is described... as "crazy" and capable of 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds.
