2021 TESLA MODEL Y REVIEW: CARGO MEASUREMENTS, PASSENGER SPACE, AUTOPILOT, INTERIOR FEATURES

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a comprehensive look at the 2021 Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Long Range, highlighting significant improvements in build quality and interior design compared to earlier Tesla models. While praising the car's rapid acceleration, ample storage, and engaging driving dynamics, particularly the steering feel and one-pedal driving, the reviewer notes some drawbacks. The infotainment system, while minimalist, can be unintuitive, and the lack of physical buttons for essential functions like climate control requires reliance on voice commands or the touchscreen. A notable omission is the absence of blind-spot monitoring in the mirrors, a feature considered standard safety equipment. The Autopilot system, while functional and capable of lane changes, is described as finicky and still in beta, requiring constant driver input and a learning curve. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the Model Y offers a unique, fun, and personality-filled driving experience that justifies its appeal to many consumers.
