Tesla Model Y

What colour is it? White like the UK LR?

Great stuff! @mun1Sounds like you are happy with it so far. Any pics of the new beast?

How's the suspension with the 20" inductions?

Thanks

Waiting to give it a wash before posting pics, as I’ve a lot of motorway driving done this week.

20” induction are fine . Small bit jiggly over undulating surfaces on B roads at times , but good over broken up road surfaces and potholes.

does the RWD model came with matrix headlights? Or those are for LR/performance models only?

also, anyone tried to buy the all weather mates from aliexpress? Any recommendations?

Yes all models come with matrix headlights fitted just not fully functional

i bought set of all weather car mats from AliExpress - riven car lighting store , make sure you pick the right ones , ie “right rudder, model Y” got complete set including front rear, boot, sub boot, frunk, rear of seats for €165 delivered + €11 for Irish customs .

very good quality material and look great, not like some of the cheap rubber ones.

So collected the MY RWD MSM everything perfect apart from some badly applied PPF which looks about as good as I’d do myself but that’s not what I paid for so logged a call hopefully a ranger will sort, one or 2 very minor scratches near the PPF guessing a scruffy cloth, you’d need to be looking for them to spot them. Should buff out no problem, only superficial. I’ve collected other new cars from ze Germans that were in far worse shape, the paint and panels are perfect otherwise.

Have been on a couple of test drives in the LR and RWDs they had in sandyford and didn’t notice any suspension issues, the ride in the RWD from my perspective is perfect. Not as planted as the M3 I replaced it with but you can’t fcuk with physics the Y has a little bit more roll but you need to push it to feel the difference. No issues with vibrations as some have reported and my tires were all 42PSI on collection.

not missing USS yet but then again I can drive 😂 or at least I think I can. Had to move a lot of stuff today from the house and what the Y can swallow is ridiculous compared to the 3, we really needed the space hence the change. In the 3 I couldn’t sit behind the driver seat with the seat as I would use it and the low seat / high floor would have been very uncomfortable for any length of journey for an adult in the back, in the Y I can sit in the back with buckets of legroom and the seating position is much more comfortable.

finally the improved sound system over the 3 RWD with the limited speakers is a world apart. I always spec the upgraded system in a new car and this is a very good system, Spotify is good, FLAC from my SD card is top class. I don’t need the LR range or power I’ve enough bonus points, never mind the P but it would be nice, I can see how this will potentially be the best selling car in the world this year, I know it’s personal choice and having tested pretty much everything on the market when buying the 3, in my humble opinion there isn’t a better value car available in the same price bracket / segment. So please fcuk off with your Renaults and MGs they don’t come close 😂

Finally found it, unfortunately all the 9 set all weather mates in aliexpress for model Y are now above 200 euro before delivery & tax

Guy's, the USB C connections in the centre console and in the rear, are they only for charging???

I thought that I could use a flash drive to play music from in the centre, without having to disconnect the sentry storage in the glove box.

This is what I have below, has an SD card slot which is where I have all my music

That Tesla algorithm for measuring expected consumption with regard to prevailing conditions is impressive.

Do any other manufacturers come close ?

Collecting my 3rd Tesla in the morning and always had a positive experience at collection. When you do get to try the Tesla SUC it’s a step up. Just plug cable in sit back, no apps to open, no buttons to press, no credit card details to be entered.

Sorry, didn't mean new multi coat red, I meant the old red whatever it's called. I rarely see red teslas, so to spot 3 on the one trip was noteworthy.
