Tesla Model Y

Symons was comparing the CATL M3Ps. The video you posted and the one I posted showcase the Panasonic battery in the US 2024 M3P.

He's right that the difference is very subtle. He came across as rather underwhelmed in his videos. I would be too if there was no difference in performance compared to the old M3P despite it being a facelift. There's more sound insulation and comfort but that's not why you buy a performance.

I'd rather buy a 2022 M3P which has better headlights, stalks, same power output, and you save probably 20k. If the new car had more power i'd definitely buy

Kia took my parents Eniro back after 11 months as they have been unable to repair it. Keeps dumping the battery coolant on the ground. Spent maybe 15 weeks in the dealer in 11 months.

Over 4yrs in a Model 3 and Y and no squeaks, rattles or issues. Have had to top up the windscreen wash a few times though 🤷

While we're on the topic, yesterday I confirmed, purely for research purposes, that the MY is capable of reaching its top speed. Needed more than 1km to get there though and there was a bit of wind noise :)

Any ideas of Tesla are strict on the 10 day trade in offer. It was day 11 when I put through an order for a MY from inventory.

I dont see anything in my account

I do see an Est. Delivery 28 June - 30 June and a Strange VIN allocated starting with XP.

If you can shed any light please

There is nothing strage about the VIN. If it begins with XP its a specific car that has been manufactured in their Berlin factory VIN : XP7*******. Am not sure what you mean by a "10 day trade in". Tesla usually provide a requested trade in once a specific car has been matched and delivery is imminent and the trade in is valid for 30 days ..hence trying to time to coincide with actual delivery. If you have a VIN that indicates that a specific completed car has been matched to your order so its most likely on the way

My wife had the exact same issues, amongst other issues, similar responses, luckily she got someone to take it off her hands.

It was an abysmal experience.

Question about the bioweapon-defense-mode. When would you use it in real life? Is it if you're stuck in traffic beside a bus from the 1980s? Or would you use it more frequently than that?

I thought the cabin air was being HEPA filtered during normal operation anyway, so apart from the positive air pressure, does bwd-mode offer anything else.

Or is it just a gimmick like the farts and light shows?

"Bioweapon Defence Mode" sounds like Tesla-speak for HEPA filtration system - and I have used that in a Tata Nexon EV many times in the polluted city streets of India in last six months and I found it absolutely wonderful.

That car had a AQI display, and as soon as you open the door to let someone in AQI will drop to dangerous levels (>200ppl) and once you shut down the doors, the it will start dropping over next while to 30-40 ppl, and it was so pleasant to be not breathing in all the poison, it truly a made a difference in there. I am not sure how important / relevant that is in the pure windswept landscape of Ireland, where AQI is already amazing / as good as it gets. Perhaps if you are Dublin commuter, it might be useful on the calmest and foggiest of days - I can't see much use for it elsewhere in Ireland.

Some are just lucky

I was thinking the same, especially in heavy mist, where before it was terrible.

Ok so I've developed the first noticeable rattle at 40k. It's coming from the passenger door and is only noticeable at motorway speeds but it is fair annoying. Applying some pressure to the door with an elbow while driving gets rid of it. Unfortunately I can't seem to convince the girlfriend to keep he elbow in the same position for the full journey. Any thoughts on how I'll go about trying to sort it out.
