DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID! TRUTH ABOUT MODEL Y WITH 4680 BATTERY - 1 YEAR / 28K MILE OWNER REVIEW

EV Channels Review

After one year and 28,000 miles, the reviewer provides a candid assessment of their 2023 Tesla Model Y AWD with the 4680 battery pack. While praising the vehicle's overall value, ride quality, NVH, and the usefulness of the Tesla app and FSD (version 12.3.6), significant drawbacks are highlighted. The reviewer expresses strong dissatisfaction with the charging performance of the 4680 battery pack, deeming it 'terrible' and 'unacceptable,' taking 39 minutes for a 10-80% charge which adds only about 150 miles of real-world range. They feel owners of this specific configuration were essentially used as guinea pigs. Criticisms also extend to the lack of 120V/240V outlets, a built-in hotspot, 360 camera, cooled seats (a miss compared to other Tesla models), and a manual frunk. Despite these issues, the reviewer still recommends the Model Y, but specifically advises against the 4680 battery variant, preferring the 2170 pack found in Long Range models.
