Video Summary
The new Tesla Model Y comes with an upgraded audio system. The rear wheel drive now has nine speakers globally; all-wheel drive models boast sixteen. The rear wheel drive vehicles contain three 100mm midrange drivers in the dashboard, a single 25mm tweeter in the mirror triangles, and a singular 200mm woofer in the front doors. The nine-speaker system is completed by 100mm mid-range drivers in the rear doors. The all-wheel drive vehicles have the same 3 100mm mid-range drivers in the dashboard and the 25mm tweeters in the mirror triangles. However, they also contain 60mm mid-range drivers in the front doors and two 200mm dual woofers. The rear features 100mm mid-range drivers. There is also a subwoofer in the boot. The driver can adjust audio settings via the 15.4-inch display. There is only SBC and ACC codecs over Bluetooth. There is USB playback through the glovebox. The vehicle was fitted with 20-inch wheels, though 19-inch wheels are standard and provide lower cabin noise. Cabin noise at a standstill is 35-36 dBA, 20-30 mph is 54-58dBA, 40mph is 61-64 dBA, and 70 mph is 70-74dBA. Tesla claims there is a 22% reduction within the cabin. All-wheel-drive vehicles' improved audio system is worth the extra premium. The dual woofers in front doors give great base presence.
