The video explores the compelling reasons to buy a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y in early 2023, highlighting significant price cuts and federal tax incenti... moreves that make these vehicles more accessible than ever. However, it also presents crucial reasons why potential buyers might want to wait. Key concerns include the removal of ultrasonic sensors from 2023 models, the potential launch of a refreshed Model 3 with interior and exterior design changes, and the anticipated rollout of Tesla's new Hardware 4 system. The reviewer advises that while now is a good time to lock in savings, waiting could yield a more feature-rich or updated vehicle, especially for those considering a Model 3. The subscription model for Full Self-Driving is recommended over outright purchase due to cost and flexibility. New color options are also mentioned as a potential reason to delay a purchase. less
Shocking New Leaks and Price Increase for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y

Key takeaways include Tesla's recent website ov... moreerhaul which, despite price drops, introduced a $1000 charge for the previously free Midnight Silver Metallic paint, and new color options like Midnight Cherry and Quicksilver launching in Europe, with a US release anticipated.

The primary recommendation is a "plug-and-play" box from Carlinkit, which offers a seamless, full CarPlay experience with touchscreen support and wireless audio.

The reviewer provides a comprehensive three-month ownership review of the rear-wheel-drive Tesla Model 3, highlighting its significant value propositi... moreon, especially after recent price cuts and EV tax credits, bringing it close to the $35,000 mark. Key positives include excellent build quality, improved ride comfort and quietness compared to previous models, and the fast Ryzen processor delivering a smooth software experience. The reviewer also praises Tesla for no longer software-locking features like heated seats and steering wheel on the base model. However, the reviewer points out notable omissions: a subpar sound system (partial premium), no included floor mats, and a lack of interior ambient lighting. The primary reasons to potentially avoid purchasing now are the compellingly priced Model Y (offering more versatility and features for a slightly higher cost) and the imminent release of a refreshed Model 3 later in 2023, which is expected to bring significant design and feature upgrades. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer concludes that the Standard Range Model 3 is an exceptionally good car for its price, offering much of the Tesla DNA at an accessible entry point. less
Bad News - Tesla Is In Big Trouble - More Features Removed | Tesla Model 3 + Model Y
The reviewer highlights significant issues Tesla faces in 2023, impacting both new and existing owners. Key criticisms include the removal of the char... moreging cable, forcing new owners to incur additional costs. The opening of the Supercharger network to non-Tesla vehicles is seen as a potential detriment to existing owners due to increased congestion and wait times. Furthermore, the removal of hardware features like radar and ultrasonic sensors, impacting Autopilot and parking assistance, is a major point of contention, with the reviewer noting a decrease in reliability. The absence of basic features like floor mats and full interior lighting in the rear-wheel drive Model 3, despite its price point, is deemed unacceptable. The reviewer also touches upon the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, the controversial handling of Full Self-Driving (FSD) software licensing, and subpar customer service and communication from Tesla. While acknowledging Tesla's strengths, the video argues that these recent decisions and ongoing issues are making it harder to recommend the brand. less
Massive Tesla Price Drop! Don't Buy Yet! Tesla Model 3 + Model Y
Tesla is currently offering significant discounts on Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, including $7,500 off and 10,000 free Supercharging miles for delive... moreries taken by December 31, 2022. The reviewer highlights the substantial savings, especially on the base Model 3, bringing it under $40,000. Key differences between the Model 3 and Model Y are discussed, with the Model Y offering more space and a higher driving position, while the Model 3 is praised for its sportier, more nimble driving dynamics. The reviewer notes that the base Model 3 comes with a 'partial premium interior,' lacking floor mats and a full audio system with a subwoofer, unlike the Long Range and Performance variants, and the standard range Model Y. Despite the attractive incentives, the reviewer advises potential buyers to consider waiting for the rumored 2023 Model 3 refresh, which may include updated technology and design, and to explore potential 2023 federal tax credits, although these may not take effect until March. less
Bad News - Holiday Update Removes Features | Tesla Model 3 + Model Y
Tesla's latest holiday update introduces a host of new features, including Apple Music, MyQ garage control, and Steam gaming support. However, th... moree rollout is staggered, with no user control over when it arrives. A significant limitation is that Steam gaming is exclusive to newer Model S and X vehicles (2022+) with a potential hardware retrofit for older models, while Model 3 and Y are excluded. The update also brings UI enhancements like larger navigation fonts and a revamped media player interface. The MyQ integration offers convenient automatic garage door operation, though it requires a yearly subscription. A notable drawback is the Zoom app's availability, restricted to Ryzen-equipped vehicles, and its video functionality is limited to parked situations. The reviewer highlights the S3XY Buttons by Enhanced Auto as a highly ingenious and customizable accessory that significantly enhances the Tesla experience, offering tactile control over various vehicle functions. less

A major announcement is the secret launch of a cheaper, dual-motor Standard Range Model Y, available only through Tesla's existing inventory, offering a more accessible entry point into the Model Y ownership, albeit with less customization. The return of radar to future Tesla vehicles, alongside potential upgrades for Full Self-Driving and Autopilot, is also discussed as a significant development, potentially signaling a shift back from a pure vision-based system.

After one month of ownership, the reviewer finds the 2022 Tesla Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive to be surprisingly good, exceeding expectations in build qual... moreity, ride comfort, and interior refinement, particularly with the inclusion of the Ryzen processor and features like heated wipers and rear heated seats, which were previously paid options. Despite its 'cheapest Tesla' status, it offers a premium feel and ample range (around 270 miles) thanks to its LFP battery, making it suitable for most drivers. However, the reviewer highlights significant omissions, including the lack of floor mats and a charging cable, and a downgraded audio system without a subwoofer or amplifier.

However, the reviewer highlights significant corner-cutting by Tesla, which detracts from the overall value. Key omissions include the absence of floor mats, a less capable audio system lacking an amplifier and subwoofer, and the removal of the mobile charging kit. Despite these drawbacks, the car retains premium features like heated seats (now standard), a heated steering wheel, and heated wipers, which were previously paid options. The reviewer notes the presence of ultrasonic sensors on the 2022 model, which are absent in newer versions. While the car is praised for its driving dynamics and overall Tesla experience, the reviewer expresses frustration with the feature deletions, suggesting a preference for a model where features could be software-unlocked rather than omitted entirely. less
The Truth 6 Months Later: Tesla Model Y LR 2022 Review
After nine months of ownership, the reviewer expresses strong overall satisfaction with the 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range, highlighting its driving dy... morenamics and cargo space as key advantages over the Model 3. The reviewer praises the optional multi-coat red paint and 20-inch induction wheels, finding them aesthetically pleasing and not detrimental to ride comfort.

The reviewer highlights the car&#... more039;s safety, with parents unharmed despite the substantial damage. Key takeaways include the critical importance of enabling and ensuring dashcam and Sentry Mode functionality, as well as understanding how to manually save clips or enable "horn to capture." The process of getting the car repaired involves using the Tesla app to find authorized third-party body shops, as direct service center repairs are not always the primary route. A major point of contention is the high cost of repairs and the potential for lengthy delays due to parts backlogs and the complexity of Tesla repairs at authorized shops. The reviewer emphasizes the need for thorough inspection post-repair to ensure quality. The video also touches on Tesla's roadside assistance and towing procedures, noting potential complexities and limitations. less

The reviewer also questions the decision to tie the Full Self-Driving (FSD) software to the vehicle rather than the owner's account, making it a recurring expense for new car purchases. Additionally, the video touches on the limited availability of the standard range Model Y and the omission of basic features like floor mats in lower trims of the Model 3/Y. While acknowledging Tesla's mission, the reviewer argues these decisions negatively affect the owner experience and Tesla's competitive advantage. less
Tesla Finally Adds New Features and New Colors
The latest Tesla software update, version 2022.24, brings significant improvements, including the highly anticipated ability to reposition the blind s... morepot camera and the introduction of cloud profiles for seamless setting synchronization across multiple Teslas.

The video also touches upon the potential return of a cheaper, rear-wheel-drive Model Y in Europe and Asia, though its US availability and pricing remain uncertain. Finally, the discussion addresses the controversial news of Tesla potentially charging for standard connectivity after eight years, a move that has sparked community concern, though the long-term implications are still unclear. less
I Returned My Tesla - Don't Make My Mistake! Tesla Model 3 VS Model Y
The reviewer, having previously owned a Model 3 and now a Model Y, offers a practical, owner-centric comparison. Key differences highlighted include t... morehe Model 3's sportier, more car-like feel versus the Model Y's SUV-like utility and increased space, which the reviewer found essential after starting a family.

Ultimately, the decision hinges on prioritizing range and cost (Model 3) versus space and versatility (Model Y). The reviewer concludes neither is a bad choice, but the Model Y's practicality, especially for families or those hauling cargo, justifies its premium. less
