TWO MONTH OLD MODEL Y LONG RANGE WITH OVER 9,000 MILES ALREADY

EV Channels Review

John shares his extensive two-month ownership experience with his 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range, having already accumulated over 10,000 miles. The primary motivation for switching from two gas-powered Ultimas was the significant daily commute (280 miles round trip) and the escalating cost of gasoline, which John details as being over $100 weekly per car. While John expresses overall satisfaction with the Model Y, citing its range and convenience as major positives, his cross-country trip from California to Atlanta was marred by a critical charging failure. The vehicle refused to charge at a Buc-ee's Supercharger, leading to a stressful situation where they had to rely on a hotel's trickle charger and seek service. Despite this significant hiccup, which resulted in two hotel stays and a delay in their return, John's view on Tesla and EVs remains positive. He highlights the automated nature of Tesla, the app's functionality, and the convenience of home charging as key benefits, even stating he would purchase another Tesla, potentially a Model X Plaid, if he won the lottery. The video also touches on minor initial quality issues like a scuff and sticker residue, which were resolved under warranty.
