Video Summary

- Tesla is no longer mass-producing the Model Y Standard Range RWD.
- The EPA-estimated range is 244 miles, but in cold weather driving, it gets about 150 miles; if babied around the city, about 200 miles can be expected.
- Overall it has been a great vehicle. 240 charging was installed.
- It has been a really nice daily driver.
- Dynamically, it isn't as good of a car to drive as the Model 3; it's not as fast, fun, or efficient.
- The cool factor and its tech are useful.
- In about 10 hours of driving on the highway, you’ll need to supercharge for two hours.
- A five-hour trip, then, may turn into a six-hour trip.
- Rattles, when the car was first acquired, seemed to have worked themselves out.
- Still surprised in the cold weather how long regen takes to its maximum level.
- Sound system is great for a $40,000 vehicle.
- A more intelligent navigation system with waypoints would be a welcome addition.
- The autopilot bong is kind of annoying.
- The Model Y Standard Range RWD is a little bit noisy; the review notes some impact and road noise at speed.
- If you want a Model Y and save a few thousand bucks, then now's the time to get this one while still possible.
- Since this model is lighter and more efficient, it could make a good choice.
