Why I Bought a Tesla - Tesla Model Y Review

[AlexTheGreatish]

When my in-laws needed a car, they chose the Tesla Model Y, but Y? (I'm sorry). Let us know what you guys want to see in future car reviews/content!

Weird way to say Lamborghini but ok

[WhitetailAni]

E (because the license plate has one)

[Prodigy_Smit]

LMG's car videos sound like a damn movie at the start. The production quality on this one and the last car one are both amazing. Good Job.

Great video! I loved how it switched between Linus and Alex.

tesla the apple of the car world

"never looked in my rear view mirror."

I'm sorry that's dangerous and down right careless, Yes Tesla is better than others with 3 cameras but getting accustom to it is a bad idea, plus your eyes can't focus on all 3 at once. The number of times I've nearly been hit by people backing out from driveways or parking lots staring at said screens is a disgrace to the tech being a "safety feature", even with models that have pedestrian detection. One time I head beeping and a little yellow arrow on the side mirror before the the vehicle stopped, guess where their head was looking.

Funny enough I'll never buy an Apple, but I'll buy a Tesla. Because unlike Apple at least they are trying to improve.

"Trying to improve" ...has a physical wipers stock, but refuses to attach actual functionality to it. Yeah, how about I'm smashing that X for doubt...

[Senzelian]

So how does the text input work on a Tesla?

[GDRRiley]

Their stance on right to repair is why I won't buy one and I will push people to not buy them.

[poochyena]

half the YT comments are talking about someone named Tyler. Anyone know what they are talking about?

[nbrowser]

I like how @LinusTechdoes a car review at Mission Raceway Park....safe place to do some fun driving.

[cheapasian]

I would buy a Tesla if they improved their QC, added Carplay/ Android Auto, and changed their stance on right to repair. Until then, I stick with my Hyundai Ioniq Electric which was cheaper , imo built better, and I could repair it in my driveway with easy access to spare parts.

[cheapasian]

I found that my Ioniq EV chews through more tires compared to my Corolla because of that instant torque, traction control that cuts power after the tires are burnt out and the eco tires that OEMs install.

He was a employee at LMG who unfortunately passed away a few days ago.

Yea that can be fixed via software, the issue is North American governments are wimps. Ontario shot down RTR last year, currently the RTR laws in many places are lacking in NA. Till that changes buying a Tesla vs a full EV (or any car for that matter) from Ford, DC, Chevy or anyone won't make a difference. Once laws force change then change will happen. In the US they have it for phones and other devices but not for cars really.

And even that is far from the first electric car, which came out in the late 1800's.

Hmmm. Didn't Apple come out with their own, quite powerful SoC? I'd say that's a huge improvement.

Please. Apple does loads to improve their products.

Agreed. Frankly, as great as Tesla seems now, it's only a matter of time before they're far surpassed by the major car manufacturers.

Every time I see a tech channel like LTT or something similar review a tesla or whatever new electric car, it's just sort of wrong. Channels that never did anything car related, and never gave a crap about any car whatsoever, are suddenly into cars now that they're electric. Imagine Jeremy Clarkson reviewing a Threadripper CPU, it'd just be not quite right. (but still rather entertaining to watch I expect haha)

 

I did like the video though, it was very well produced and contained some interesting information.

Improves products? Yes, also Tesla has technically done that too slowly upgrading their vehicles. Improves reasons to actually buy their products and support the company? Not so much.

Well, its because electric cars aren't that far off from other electronics they review. Electric cars are basically just bigger. They all use lithium battery to store electricity to run, and are charged with a cable. The way a phone works isn't too fundamentally different than how a car works. Gas cars require radically different knowledge.

Tesla seems to be like saab of today.

Unique cars that have something unique/special but also having weird/annoying quirks that makes them not as appealing as they could be.

 

But then again the Q5 example shows that other manufacturers with a LOT of experience can end up some stupid stuff as well.

 

 

[Velcade]

Did you guys have two Model Ys?  You keep switching between a performance and a LR in your shots...

 

Ah, just got further into the video.  I thought it was strange that you're missing quoting the 0-60 while you sit in a performance model Y

 

Now you're showing video from the white interior of a red Tesla Y... did you get a third Tesla or are you using someone else's footage?
