Video Summary
The review focuses on the base model Y, which isn’t available in the USA, but can be found in Europe and China. In Norway the cost is approximately €40,000.The car has a lithium Iron phosphate battery from CATL. This battery allows for maximum efficiency and a very low degradation over time.
The base model Y is incredibly efficient. With just a single motor, it is potentially the most efficient SUV on the market today.
The Y’s base sound system is described as surprisingly good. For a low-spec vehicle, the reviewer states that it still gets soft-touch materials on the doors.
The vehicle’s interior is non-premium and it lacks a sub-woofer. For the price of the car, however, everything is adequate. It's said to be quite the value.
All Models Y vehicles now include a Juniper update, giving them the turn-signal stalks.
It was noted that the rear is wired in such a way as to fold the front seats when lowering the back bench.
Limited performance due to the standard single motor was mentioned as a major consideration to think about before buying the electric car.
Even though it is highly efficient, a smaller battery means that auxiliary loads like the AC impact the range.
Overall, the base model Y offers an excellent drivetrain tuning that’s fun to drive and very efficient. Even though the charging performance is not that of other electric vehicles, efficiency still makes this car an awesome value.
