WE CHECK OUT THE MADE IN CHINA TESLA MODEL Y AND DRIVE IT UP AN AMAZING NORWEGIAN MOUNTAIN PASS!

EV Channels Review

The review focuses on the Made in China Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor, highlighting its build quality and driving dynamics on Norway's Trollstegen mountain pass. The reviewer notes positive aspects such as excellent efficiency (averaging 150 Wh/km), a refined interior with wood accents, and the robust Supercharger network. However, criticisms are leveled at the suspension calibration, deemed too sporty and rough for a non-performance model, and the steering ratio, considered too quick for highway stability, especially when disengaging Autopilot. The reviewer also points out the lack of ambient lighting and the mismatched wood grain on the doors as minor execution flaws. While acknowledging the Model Y's overall competence as a technological device and its ease of use, the reviewer expresses a sentiment that Tesla has lost some of its 'edge' and excitement compared to newer, more characterful EVs, despite the Made in China version exhibiting good fit and finish, comparable to its Fremont-built counterparts.
