HUGE UPGRADE! MY FIRST NEW TESLA MODEL Y DRIVE - NOISE, SUSPENSION, BRAKE-BY-WIRE, & MORE

EV Channels Review

The new Tesla Model Y receives a significant upgrade, particularly in its driving dynamics and cabin refinement. The reviewer highlights a much quieter interior, a substantial improvement in suspension comfort thanks to new frequency-selective dampers, and a more compliant ride over bumps. The much-discussed brake-by-wire system is praised for its firm, natural feel and seamless blending of regenerative and friction braking, though the reviewer notes the ABS activation was noticeable on screen but not felt in the pedal. While the NVH improvements are evident, a persistent low-frequency reverberation from the rear persists, especially on rough surfaces, though it's less bothersome than in previous models. The reviewer also notes the enhanced FSD Beta performance as a major plus for daily driving. Overall, the updated Model Y is deemed a vast improvement, offering a more refined and comfortable daily driving experience, though some minor NVH issues remain.
