Video Summary

2020 Tesla Model Y Performance Review
- The vehicle has a dual motor electric drive system with a single-speed transmission.
- It is good for 303 miles of electric charge.
- Horsepower and torque numbers are 384hp and 375TQ.
- The performance addition gives a little more range.
- 303 miles of range allows drivers who travel a lot to go electric.
- The acceleration in performance mode is impressive.
- Performance package gives dual motors.

The interior has:
- An air vent that goes side to side. Very minimalist, with a nice appeal.
- Two scroll knobs that can be configured to whatever is currently on the screen. The left is generally the volume knob, but this can all be changed.
- An aftermarket Alcantara steering wheel adds a sporty feel.
- Window switches.
- A button to open the door.
- A giant infotainment system that runs everything.
- The infotainment system allows you to easily toggle the exterior lights, fog lights, mirrors, steering wheel fold, window lock, and display brightness.
- Autosteer Beta and full self-driving visualization preview.
- There's a screen cleaning mode to avoid pressing buttons when wiping the touchscreen.
- Navigation that uses HOV lanes.

Rear passengers should keep a safety concern in mind:
- In the event of breaking, objects in the backseat can slide into the area below the seats, and potentially interfere with drivers' pedals.

The car has a:
- Trunk
- Additional storage below the trunk floor
- Frunk
- The car is wicked fast.
- It's a cutting-edge car and very in style.
- It had poor build quality for a $70k car, as well as some rattles in the door.
- The only option is to use the screen; should the screen break, everything is gone.

The Model Y performance is undeniable. It's great for the weekend. However, overall it is underwhelming.
