I don't care what anyone says. The new Model Y with FSD is so far and above any other car out there is not even funny. It's absolutely spectacular in every way and makes every other car seem like they are 20 years old
"Take too much of a load..." It was at that moment you earned your upvote.
I’ve had my ‘26 Model Y performance now for a month and love it. Incredible car
Knight Rider has finally become a reality exactly 40 years after the TV show ended.
Got my new Model Y about a month ago. Massive upgrade from my 2021 M3. Went on a 2 and a half hour road trip using FSD last weekend and never disengaged FSD one time, truly incredible.
6:44 After just buying my first Tesla last week, I can never imagine going to a regular dealership again. Everything from the purchase, my trade in, and picking up the car was completely stress free. Walked in, spent 5 minutes signing paperwork while she went out and pulled the plates off of my old car, and then 15 minutes sitting in the Model Y while she walked me through everything. It’s how buying a car should be. Not the hours it takes in a dealership.
We just ordered a new Tesla MY Premium RWD pearl white with a white interior on the 20th cause we didn't want to miss out on that .99% offer that is available right now. We live in the Vegas area and have tried pretty much every EV that was in our price range but we ended up getting a Tesla. Watching your videos helped the wife and I make the decision on both the vehicle and the accessories we will be getting for it. Thank you for all you do Gjeebs! 🎉🤙😎
Give the man a 50% raise...
"I hate myself..." That's why we all love you. 💜🚀
I bought a Model Y Performance in February 2022. I just priced a 2026 Model Y Performance equivalently equipped to my 2022, the 2026 is $8,500 _less_ than my 2022. And the 2026 is a far better car than my 2022. Amazing.
I must say how cool is it to have updates that continually improve our experience! NO other Porsche, Corvette , any car can do this! Boredom gone!!!! Love Tesla’s IT team.
Got my Quicksilver Juniper Premium Long Range AWD on September 15, 2025. Love mine so far!
I love my Model Y. FSD is why a bought it, for the long drive between 2 homes (350 mi). I’m too old to do it safely on my one any more. FSD makes it really pleasant!
Suspension knocking in the Juniper is extremely widespread. Everyone I know with a Juniper has it, including myself and 2 of my neighbors, a few friends at the gym, and people I've ran into at Superchargers. My Tesla service advisor confided to me that it's rampant. I've had 4 service visits with new dampers, new FUCA's, new FUCA Mounts, and it's worse than ever. Tesla admitted it's a widespread problem that they haven't been able to resolve. The current post count over in the TMC forum concerning the Suspension Knocking is over 3,500 posts and 173 forum pages. It's widespread. If you don't have it, you are in an extremely unique situation.
This a perfect review of the Tesla Model Y.
Andrew needs a raise!
I had that exact experience when I was not paying attention and the fire truck started the siren and FSD immediately pulled over to a stop. I was amazed. I'm totally happy with my Juniper. It takes care of 95% of my driving, very responsive on the road, taking actions 95% of the times exactly like what I would have done... I feel so much safer having FSD drive than having any family member or friends or Uber driver drive me. I just discover that in residential area where we know we can get speeding tickets for going over 25m/hr, I can switch it to Chill and it would stay within 5 miles over the speed limit. Also, when I'm in my hilly neighborhood where the road is narrow and few pedestrians, I can put it in hurry or Mad Max mode and FSD would drive faster as I would but also with the 9 additional eyes, it's a lot safer than if I had taken over. I love my Tesla Juniper and can't leave home without my FSD.
I bought FSD in 2021 and transferred it over to my new 2026 MY…. I’m in love!
When we bought our Model 3, you could buy FSD outright but we researched and went month to month instead. Reason was that the FSD purchase stayed with the car, not the driver, and we broke the purchase price down by the comparable monthly FSD cost. The cost was around 8-9 years of the monthly charge, and we didn't see keeping the car that long...so, the FSD would go to the next driver for free for several years, and we'd have to buy it for the next car. We now add FSD for months that we're traveling (summer/holiday months) and drop it for months that we're staying local only. It works well!
We just took a long roadtrip with my wife and 2 young daughters…. They had to stop for bathroom breaks more often and for longer than I needed to recharge. We could easily drive 3 hours straight without stopping to charge.
