The reviewer praises the premium audio system and the overall build quality, noting that the red paint and 20-inch black induction wheels are aesthetically pleasing and have held up well. Minor issues include a squeaky driver's door in warm weather and a distortion issue with the driver's side pillar speaker, which is noted as a common Tesla problem. A key regret is not opting for the Ryzen processor, which is anticipated to become more important for future software features. While the reviewer doesn't regret switching from the Model 3, they suggest that for many, the standard range Model Y might be a more cost-effective choice given their personal usage and the inclusion of the premium audio system across all trims.

Tesla Has a Big Problem - Tesla Model 3 + Model Y

Despite the delivery challenges, the reviewer expresses satisfaction with the Model Y itself, noting its practicality for a growing family and appreciating its aesthetics, particularly the red paint and chrome delete. He confirms the vehicle was built in December 2021, just before several 2022 updates like the AMD Ryzen processor and double-pane rear windows were implemented, which he notes as a minor disappointment. The overall delivery experience is described as more hands-off than previous encounters, but the reviewer ultimately secured the vehicle and looks forward to sharing more content. less

The reviewer highlights several key functionalities, including a more complex but functional method for saving dashcam events, the necessity of accessing tire pressure through the service menu, and the convenience of sharing navigation addresses from a phone.

The Truth About FSD Beta - Tesla Model 3
The reviewer provides an in-depth look at Tesla's FSD Beta 10.4 in a Model 3, covering a mix of city and highway driving. While acknowledging the... more system as a "technical marvel" with impressive visualizations, the review highlights several quirks and areas for improvement. The FSD Beta occasionally exhibits jerky steering, hesitates at red lights, and can be slow to react or adjust to traffic flow. A notable incident involved the system becoming confused by construction cones, attempting an unnecessary lane change that led to a near-miss and required manual intervention. Phantom braking was also mentioned. Despite these issues, the reviewer found the FSD Beta to be "overwhelmingly positive" in stop-and-go traffic and generally capable, though they question its long-term value proposition after the subscription period. The reviewer emphasizes the critical need for constant driver attentiveness. less
Do Not Buy FSD - Tesla Model 3
The reviewer strongly advises against purchasing Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) package at its current $10,000 price point in 2021. While acknow... moreledging the impressive engineering and the future potential of FSD, the core argument is that the current feature set offers limited value for the steep cost. Key features like Navigate on Autopilot and Auto Lane Change are highlighted as useful, especially for highway driving, but other functions like Auto Park and Summon are deemed more of a 'party trick' than essential daily tools. A major point of contention is FSD's non-transferability between vehicles, forcing owners to repurchase the package for new cars. The reviewer also champions the FSD subscription service for its flexibility, allowing users to pay only when needed, which is particularly beneficial for lessees or those who don't require FSD year-round. The possibility of a future, more affordable 'Enhanced Autopilot' tier and the anticipation of FSD Beta V10 with city street driving capabilities are also mentioned as reasons to delay a purchase. Ultimately, the consensus is that the subscription service or waiting for a more feature-complete system offers better value than the current upfront purchase. less
