BRZ OWNER DRIVES MY TESLA MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

This video presents a unique comparison between a 2017 Subaru BRZ and a 2020 Tesla Model Y, focusing on the driving experience and practicality. The reviewer, who owns the Model Y, has a BRZ owner, Andrew, test drive it. Andrew, accustomed to the raw, engaging feel of his BRZ, is surprisingly impressed by the Model Y's comfort, spaciousness, and effortless acceleration. He notes the Model Y's smooth ride, comfortable seats, and the novel experience of one-pedal driving through regenerative braking. While he acknowledges the BRZ offers a more visceral connection through its manual transmission and steering feel, he finds the Model Y's performance, especially in sport mode, compelling enough to consider it as a potential purchase, even over a Supra or other sports cars. The reviewer highlights the Model Y's practicality, advanced technology like Autopilot, and the overall ease of driving as significant advantages. Minor drawbacks mentioned include slightly compromised rear visibility and the learning curve for the turn signal stalk. The video effectively argues that the Model Y can offer a fun and engaging driving experience, challenging the notion that electric vehicles are solely about efficiency.
