TRUTH ABOUT THE 2025 TESLA MODEL Y LR RWD (1 YEAR / 11K MILES)

EV Channels Review

After one year and 11,000 miles, the 2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD proves to be a highly capable and efficient EV, though not without its quirks. The reviewer highlights its exceptional road trip readiness, seamless Supercharger integration, and low operating costs as major advantages. The comfortable seats, spacious interior, and advanced FSD 14.2 software are significant pros, making it a compelling option for those seeking autonomous driving capabilities. However, notable drawbacks include excessive road noise compared to competitors, a disappointing and manual frunk, and abysmal auto wipers. Battery degradation is also a concern, with a reported 10% loss in the first year. Despite these issues, the reviewer concludes that the Model Y remains a baseline recommendation for anyone considering an EV, especially for its overall usability and the Tesla ecosystem.
