Tesla Model Y

There is a separate pretty full thread already for Tesla referral links, maybe move your referral link to there ??

Most opinion seems to be that this lesser model is overly stripped out. Many potential buyers would prefer to buy what was the previous RWD model instead.

The Tesla premium audio package is about as good as it gets for in-car sound quality, so I'm not sure that's really a factor. Tesla got it absolutely spot-on 👍️ Granted, the basic Model 3s don't have Premium Audio - perhaps it's noticeable there 🤷‍♂️

Tesla's built-in Nav replicates the best presentation of Google maps on an in-car platform. Are you suggesting that the world's #1 navigation platform is somehow not good enough?

My apologies if i got a litle over-excited, i have been looking at possibly getting a Y for a while, was not expecting this. Surely, euro for euro, this is the best EV available right now? I get it, the 'premium' one is probably worth the 4-5k more, but only if you have that 4-5k. If the mods want to delete thread please do so (personally i dont understand the pushback on opening a separate thread), for me this is a game changer.

That's not my experience of Tesla premium audio & Spotify - sorry.

Did you try testing it to compare?

thats a nice lump of car for the money.

Don’t agree with telling people to close threads because it might confuse someone. The new MY “standard” is worthy of a separate discussion , as the original MY thread is very long and can cover many topics , from new buyers to IT glitches to maintenance and care.

Let people discuss what they want .

Don't test other platforms, just compare what Tesla Y can do with quality music vs in-built Spotify app. You would be surprised by speaker quality. We are not comparing Tesla vs non-Tesla here, just their poor software vs regular quality audio source.

Give Tesla audio a chance to shine and you would be impressed. Software is limited in how much can be done with low bitrate streaming.

We started his discussion from shortcomings of Tesla software that make AA such an attractive proposition. Their implementation of navigation and Spotify is lacking and I fully appreciate that it is good enough for you. Adding AA is just a very small improvement that could make those two things better. It is like putting bad tires on car, you can still use it but sometimes to get full performance you really need traction from good tires.

There are many videos online showing the full cut out spec. It's more than you think on the MY, and less than you think on the M3.

Tesla are hardly going to signpost all options that are being dropped 😂 all they'll do is tell you what's included, in the hope of nabbing some buyers of cheaper SUVs that might finally be able to get into a Tesla.

I responded to the post and you didn't reply or discuss further..
