MODEL Y 70,000 MILE REVIEW - TIME TO MOVE ON

EV Channels Review

This 70,000-mile review of the Tesla Model Y Long Range highlights its durability and practicality as a "Swiss army knife" of vehicles. The reviewer praises the robust interior, particularly the white seats which have proven easy to clean despite heavy use. The minimalist design is noted, with most functions integrated into the infotainment system, which has improved significantly through software updates. Key positives include the reliable Tesla Supercharger network, the spaciousness, and the enjoyable driving dynamics, especially its flat cornering. However, the reviewer points out the persistent issue of range anxiety, noting that the advertised range has not significantly improved over four years, which remains a barrier for mass adoption. Other minor gripes include the slight delay in infotainment responsiveness compared to newer processors and the heat intrusion through the panoramic glass roof. Despite these points, the reviewer concludes that the Model Y is an incredibly useful and well-rounded vehicle, especially for daily driving, though it doesn't replace the visceral experience of traditional driver's cars.
