Tesla Model Y

What makes you think the grant is going after q2? Has this been confirmed anywhere?

If there is a manufacturing change coming, it'll quickly become apparent once the Shanghai plant reopens after the Chinese New Year break. Depending on that outcome (new radar, USS), Tesla could have a load of non-USS cars arriving in Feb with less than impressed reservation holders. What happens then.

There’s a UK registered RWD Model Y with no USS in Sandyford now. I test drove it today, and very impressed with performance. I had thought it would feel noticeably slower than the LRMY, but not the case. Getting from stand still to 100km feels fast, getting from 80-120 is very fast, and you really don’t notice the speed when you get to 120km/h. Very impressed with autopilot, particularly in traffic. Although I’ve had parking sensors for the last decade, using the camera with the guidance lines was fine. I was able to judge safe distance in a tight space using the near ends of the guidance lines. I also wanted to see if I could fit my child stroller (uppababy Vista V2 if anyone has same issue) and my large dog into the boot. There was loads of room, and when you consider the under boot and front trunk space this will be life changing for us, and not something that could be achieved in similar priced EV’s. I was considering an ID4 GTX (the €60k version) as an alternative, but overall in my opinion when it comes to fun, practicality, and overall feeling you get driving the car the Tesla is miles ahead. I’d recommend driving the RWD if you’re considering one, it’s a lot of car for the money (compared to the other similar offerings).

Slowest Tesla ever made, yet plenty fast for most people 😁

Maybe one of the reasons for the price drop?

Elon is a vampire not a bat hence the reason

Yep

Yeah Tesla still working on the tech, a rep I spoke to today had seen it in action on a M3. The software update will bring functionality back in line with previous USS functionality. Their expectation was that it will be rolled out by the time the first batch of Q1 deliveries are being made. Ultimately I guess it will be a decision that is made in California, so no one knows for sure.

Would you not think they’d have a passing interest in what their selling 🙈

anyone heard anything on a Tesla cork proper location opening soon?

How much improved is this new suspension supposed to be? Most reviews of the early MYs say it’s quite harsh

@Gumbo - "They didn’t even know the MY got a new suspension recently."

Seriously? That's quite disappointing. As in fairness the Tesla sales staff are far better clued in than sales staff from most other car brands. But they wouldn't know what's going to happen in future.

Just had a thought!

What if as Tesla is putting back in a radar (as from the FCC info in America) and this radar is not the same as the original. Maybe Tesla is intending to use the front radar as a normal radar but also as the front ultrasonic sensors but utilise the cameras for all else including sides back and autopilot.

That would be fairly inventive and would solve the problem of no low down front camera.

What do you think? Is that viabie?

Who knows what they will have. This idea looks unlikely.

I know it was between 20-30 deg for the run but the efficiency was insane , 165Wh/100km for 750km run, travelling to speed limit . Took him 7hrs 21 mins in total.

commented that MIC model seemed to show just under 57kw available in car

seemed happy with the suspension on the rough Thai roads.

you could also see the auto high beams working away in second half of video.

car was MY MIC RWD on 19” wheels.

good review.

I don’t see many reviews from UK MY RWD over last few weeks
