Tesla Model Y At 50K Miles: Owner Explains Why It’s The Best-Selling Car via insideevs.com
YouTuber John Gibbs, who featured on InsideEVs a few times in the past, has shared a 50,000-mile ownership review of his Tesla Model Y. Gibbs owns the Model Y Long Range, which currently starts at $50,490, has an EPA-estimated range of 330 miles and accelerates from 0-60 miles per hour in a blistering 4.8 seconds.in December 2020 and has driven it extensively since, racking up 30,000 miles in road trips, in addition to 20,000 miles of mixed driving.
He only has praise for his Model Y. It’s his first vehicle that keeps on improving after purchase, thanks to Tesla’s constant over-the-air software updates. His previous cars remained the same from day one till the end, whereas his Model Y is a vastly improved machine since its purchase. One of the key improvement areas for the Model Y is self-driving. Initially, the Full-Self Driving feature did not pass the “spouse test,” said Gibbs humorously. When the car was new, the self-driving erred multiple times, and his wife was scared to use it. But thanks to the constant OTA updates, the FSD Beta feature has “improved by leaps.”His service experience has been great as well.
One of the only two drawbacks he mentioned is how fast the acceleration is, which many might consider an advantage instead. Since the dual motors send torque to all four wheels, the tires wear out fast, said Gibbs.
