THE BEST STILL HAS ISSUES | TESLA MODEL Y REVIEW

EV Channels Review

After a year of ownership, the 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD is reviewed as a highly versatile and enjoyable vehicle, solidifying its position as the world's best-selling car. The reviewer highlights its ample cargo space, including a large rear understorage and a functional front trunk, making it exceptionally practical. Performance is praised, with the dual-motor setup offering quick acceleration, especially with the optional boost, and responsive handling that belies its SUV form factor. The user experience is enhanced by Tesla's continuously improving software, responsive touchscreen interface, and the convenience of one-pedal driving via regenerative braking, even with the new emulation feature for full batteries. However, the review notes persistent issues with build quality, specifically rattles that required multiple service appointments, and a wireless charging pad that can overheat phones. While the Autopilot and FSD Beta systems are functional and improving, the reviewer cautions that they are not yet fully autonomous and require constant driver attention, with FSD Beta exhibiting occasional erratic behavior. Despite these drawbacks, the Model Y is considered a complete package and the reviewer's favorite among several tested EVs.
