TESLA MODEL Y AND MODEL 3 CAR SHOPPING - FIRST IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The Everyday EV channel provides a comprehensive first impression of the Tesla Model Y Long Range, contrasting it with their experience with the Model 3. Key pros highlighted include Tesla's extensive Supercharger network, the Model Y's exceptional interior and cargo space, and surprisingly good build quality, with panel gaps being minimal. The dual-motor Long Range variant offers ample power, delivering the characteristic 'Tesla smile.' However, significant cons emerged, primarily concerning ride comfort. The suspension is described as too firm and bouncy, leading to excessive road noise and a harsh experience over imperfect road surfaces, with the reviewer suggesting suspension improvements are needed. The updated user interface is also criticized for being confusing and less intuitive than previous versions, requiring too many clicks for essential functions. While acknowledging the Model 3's practicality as a sedan, the reviewers ultimately favor the Model Y for its superior space and comfort, crucial for their cross-country travel plans.
