    I came here for that one comment where a parent has tested and confirmed what size of baby will fit in the storage bin….. 😅

      I’m guessing…really small ones, recently rejected into the world!

      Any larger ones can be accommodated in the frunk 😂

    Thanks for the positive review.
    Tesla use Google maps, with live traffic.
    You can change the font size.
    And yes, I’d buy the long range RWD.

      Google maps, but unfortunately the navigation isn’t Google. There’s no way to report issues and it’s often out of date. I drive a Model 3 so I know this.

    Hi Nicola. Loved this video with the new MYP. Tell Tom that there was an update a little while back where you can change the text size from Standard to Large under the Display settings for those oldies who like having the text size on their phone as large as possible 😂

    It’s funny that you mentioned the ” nerdy” drivers…my partner is a software engineer and we drive a Tesla as well as his colleagues. They appreciate how efficient the car, is, tthe constant updates and living in Switzerland, we drive a lot though passes where this ” insane or sport” mode comes very handy to take over Dutch campers 😆

      Oh yeah and living in Switzerland, how’s that relevant

    Great review
    I have the long range RWD, Brilliant car.
    You can increase size of the writing on the screen if it is to small for you.

    Excellent review. Very balanced, and that’s why I love this channel!

    There’s a setting to make the test larger on the screen. I’d think the other reviewer would have found it had he done his job properly.

    I have just sold a Porsche 911 C4 because it’s just not a fast car anymore. Note to all Porsche owners – sell it now….before the resale price totally collapses.

    FYI, you can make the font larger. Go into the Display settings.

    I have driven a tesla model Y for the past 3 years. Renewing lease next year. I am openly looking at other options. Did test drive of polestar 4, byd seal, mg im5, volvo ex40. Volvo for me the best of these 4 options….. but nothing comes even close at the experience of driving a tesla. Fun, fast, drives on rails, grippy, planted, spacious, simple, reliable. And I am not a brain washed Tesla fan boy. But the experience is just brilliant. I am looking forward to find something that challenges it and choose that. But so far I am seeing myself in another Tesla.

    It’s looks just aren’t for me – too much “home appliance” especially in white (and the red looks like a Smeg fridge), not enough potential movement.

    I like they’ve caught on that most new mobiles don’t need coolers while being charged, because they turn of the charging if they get hot taa dah + it’s just to fast not for me 😊👍

    I just love her style. She can compensate for anything with her personality.

    I am on my 2nd model y after first having a model 3 both model y’s were plagued with rattles I still cannot cure them all from the latest one, and I never did from the last one. For balance I have also just bought an i3s with 20k on it and it doesn’t rattle! Modern construction techniques I suspect, also my model 3 despite being a USA built car, never developed a rattle in 100k miles mabye if the suspension was softer, although the I3s is also rock hard.

    I have the same badge on the back of my Model 3 Performance and it is ludicrous on UK road and even in the wet, it just grips and goes…

    Nichola, you missed a great feature of the performance model – Launch Mode!

    Press and hold the brake and also press and hold the accelerator. Look to the screen to show you have activated launch mode and when you are ready just release the brake! 💨
