LONG RANGE TESLA MODEL Y UPGRADE FROM MODEL 3 SR+

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth tour of a 2020 Tesla Model Y Long Range, shared by owner Kaushik, who upgraded from a Model 3 SR+. The reviewer highlights the Model Y's significant advantages in space, particularly the larger trunk with a powered liftgate and more versatile second-row seating, which reclines for added comfort. The increased headroom and more comfortable driving position compared to the Model 3 are also emphasized, making it a superior choice for families. Kaushik notes the exterior dimensions are only slightly larger than the Model 3, making them visually similar, but the interior experience is vastly different. He also touches on the heat pump's efficiency in cold Canadian winters (-14°C), stating the Model Y performs comparably to a Model 3 Long Range in terms of range loss, around 50%. A notable point of contention is Tesla's policy on transferring Full Self-Driving (FSD) to a new vehicle, which Kaushik found disappointing. Overall, the Model Y is presented as a highly practical and comfortable upgrade, especially for those needing more space and a better family vehicle experience.
