The Why Tesla Model Y Podcast. If you're a prospective Model Y buyer or a Model Y owner, or just can't get enough on Tesla and the Model Y in general, then you are in the right spot. Here at the Why Tesla Model Y Podcast, we primarily follow the weekly happenings and news on the r slash Tesla Model Y subreddit, or you can follow us on Twitter at

For reference, back when I was in the market for a Tesla, I was actually searching endlessly for a podcast solely focused on the Model Y, which didn't exist, so I ended up on Reddit and other forums to learn more about the vehicle. But I've always preferred audio content versus scrolling, especially on my 30 plus minute daily commute. So if you resonate with any of what I just mentioned, you are in the right place.

This is episode seven. It is March 25th, 2024. Let's jump right into it with the post that caught my attention over this past week. The first one that caught my attention over this past week, actually in the past couple of days, is an auto park update. It's

It's funny how quickly these episodes date themselves. I think it was just last week or the week prior, we were talking about how there's finally an update to full self-driving. It's gotten significantly better, but then I believe the episode before that, we were talking about is enhanced autopilot worth it? Enhanced autopilot even worth it? Because they supposedly, I don't have it, so I'm speaking from...

What I see across Reddit, they took away the summon feature, they took away the auto park feature, it didn't exist, it wasn't available for many, many, many months. However, like I said, the post that caught my attention was actually just from 14 hours ago from user shadow-56. The title reads, got the new update.

And it's a photo of software update 2024.2.11. It includes minor fixes, but also simply put auto park. And so this is from the actual Tesla software update screen under that auto park section. It reads your vehicle can now automatically park and parallel park in designated spaces. When you're driving at low speed, your display highlights potential parking spaces.

AutoPark shows a circular P symbol to suggest a space, but you can choose any highlighted space. To start parking, stop the vehicle, press start, and release the steering wheel so it can move freely. Refer to the owner's manual for more detail. As with all autopilot features, you must continue to pay attention and be ready to take immediate action, including canceling AutoPark.

So, the little graphic on the software update looks awesome. I mean, it looks super user-friendly. It's a great visual representation of...

Driving through a parking lot, it indicates all of the cars for what looks like 50 to 100 yards. Any of the open spaces are clearly marked with long rectangles. And I assume, again, I don't have enhanced autopilot. I have not. I don't have full self-driving. So, of course, I haven't even installed this update, nor do I have it.

But I imagine with just a simple touch on the touchscreen or a scroll, the scroll wheel, you can just determine which parking spot you want to park in. And then boom, you press the start button, take your hands off the wheel, and it plugs you right into that spot.

So a really, really neat feature in that that's for just standard parking, but also for parallel parking. There's another update included in the same one that says there's improved driving visualization, which is really what you saw there on that image, or at least I'm describing there on that image for the auto park update. That update for the improved driving visualization just reads the on-screen driving visualization has improved and includes more detail.

There's a few disclaimers and fine print below that, but it does look like the visualization is getting much better. It's being able to see a further distance. It's getting more accurate with determining sedans versus SUVs versus trucks versus semis versus motorcycles. So it looks pretty dang accurate and basically what the driver would actually see.

So to go into this post, let's see if I can connect this out of the photo. The actual post from shadow-56 reads, got the 2024.2.12 update yesterday afternoon. After about 10 times trying out the auto park, I'm very impressed with how good it was at being centered in the parking spot. It also did it in with no three-point turns like I've seen online with the old auto park.

The new visualization also detects oncoming and side traffic like full self-driving does and I only have enhanced autopilot. One of the top comments on here is from Frazier the Lion and it reads, "Updated last night and used briefly today. Two noticeable things: better driving view and auto park." So as I just read for about two, three minutes,

The auto park update and the improved driving visualization update, according to Frazier the Lion, the most upvoted comment on this thread seems to be drastically improved. So continuing on with that comment from Frazier the Lion, it says, I noticed there were more cars being shown at correct locations, more cars were being...

identified correctly, i.e. trucks versus cars versus vans, etc. I could see the stoplights from further away, the traffic lanes used to wiggle a lot and that's gone, and it was able to see the signal lights and stoplights on all cars in view of the camera. So this was so fantastic and helpful, it reads.

it goes into auto parked while dropping my kid off it was an incredible all caps experience the moment i slowed down in the parking lot it showed a gray p in the open parking spot i tapped not the one i wanted to park in and it took seven seconds to completely and perfectly park between two cars smooth it just works very impressed so while the comment there emphasized that this user tried it briefly

pretty positive feedback so far. Um, and that Tesla seemingly waits to roll out these updates. Um, you know, contrary to full self-driving enhanced autopilot being released years ago, still being sold year after year, never taken away. They just retracted some of those features, but with these updates, um,

as it rolls here on the podcast week after week with the full self-driving update now the auto park update it seems like full self-driving is really taking a really really solid position and it now is potentially worth the money now that the the tech and the software is there to actually back it up let me read through a few more of these comments to see if any are worth worth calling out

There's a few folks asking to post the new visualizations. One person saying, "I hope to get this on my 2018 Model 3 with advanced autopilot." One says, "I bet it can park better than I do. At some point, I've simply lost the ability to park straight. It's embarrassing." I absolutely resonate with that. I don't know what it is lately, but every time I get out of my car, it's not perfectly centered in between the lines, which drives me insane, but it feels perfect when I'm in the car. It's just weird.

One comment here reads, "Is AutoPark only for full self-driving or does it come with basic as well?"

Reply to that, which is accurate, says AutoPark does only come with full self-driving, but also with enhanced autopilot, so it's not available for just basic free autopilot that comes with all Teslas, unfortunately. So you have to go with that monthly full self-driving subscription or purchase that enhanced autopilot for I believe is $6,000. Is it worth it just for easier parking?

Maybe over time. Something to definitely keep an eye on. I mean, now that the software seems to be where it needs to be, at least for auto park and even for full self-driving, which seems to be significantly better. Personally, I don't think it's worth the 6K for enhanced or the 12 to, what is it, maybe 15K for full self-driving. But significant improvements week after week, which is fantastic to see.

Next post that caught my attention over this past week, and this will be a rather quick episode today. I've only got three to read through. This is the second one. This is from user OKview8599. The title reads, Holding out for Rivian R2 instead of my Model Y.

The post says, wife has a Model Y long range, not impressed with quality issues and stuff like wipers. Come on guys, this company can't get the damn wipers right. Rivian R2 looks good, I know it won't come out until 2026, but I'm holding out for it. A lot of sarcastic comments saying, phew, thankfully I can stop holding my breath, okay, thanks for letting us know. One says, sir, this is a Wendy's.

I feel like a somewhat helpful reply here from Overly Optimistic Nerd is the user. It reads, never wait for a vehicle that isn't out yet. Regarding the R2, 2026 is optimistic for initial deliveries as delays are likely and should be expected. Side note there, obviously, as we see over and over and over again with Tesla, the Juniper Refresh, the Cybertruck, delivery timeline, build timelines, delivery timeline.

But also the price. I mean, the starting price for the Cybertruck, as I had mentioned in the previous episode, was perhaps $20,000 lower than the initial base price that it is right now. This comment continues to read, and initial deliveries will be low volume and it will take time to ramp up. Current pre-orders may not get fulfilled until 2028 or 2029, and that assumes no delays. So...

some assumptions there it's obviously impossible to predict how quickly they can start building these things delivering the vehicles fulfilling all the pre-orders so i'd say that's a total guess there but it also says if you have a reliable car sure wait but if you're in a place to buy best to choose from what is available it's rarely smart to wait for an announced but not yet released car

Another comment says, my main concern with Rivian is, would they still be around in the future? A reply to that, which I think is fair, is that Amazon will continue to support Rivian for a long time because of their investments and the new delivery vehicles. Also, probably just to spite Elon.

So for those of you that I think live in most major cities now, you've probably seen some of the electric Amazon delivery vehicles plastered on the side of those Amazon vehicles is that that vehicle is powered by Rivian. So shout out to Rivian for locking in what I imagine is a pretty long-term Amazon high, high dollar contract to supply some EVs to Amazon vehicles.

probably now one of the largest delivery companies at least in the us um so that that can obviously lock in uh rivian for for the near future with a massive logo on board like that a few more comments read not buying because of wipers lol however um just my personal opinion

If you can wait for the R2 and see what it shakes out to be, does it hold at that 45K price point? Is it eligible for the $7,500 tax rebate? Does that still exist at the time? I don't hate it. If you've got the strong patience that this man or woman has,

Power to you. The R2 and Rivian in general absolutely has piqued my attention lately. I was all in on Tesla. I'm still all in on Tesla. I have nothing but good things to say about the Model Y. But wipers aside, as minor of an issue as that is and as massive as we make it out to be, there are some basic just quality issues with Tesla that they seem to overlook that's just standard on cars today.

with all other brands coming from a 2013 Kia, there's things like, you know, seal around the doors and around the trunks that, that feels more solid than, than it does on, on at least my 2021 model Y long range referring to the, the frunk rubber seal specifically water gets into that, at least for mine, um, took it to service. They didn't help me out, but,

That aside, I think the most interesting point here is that there's concerns around the R2. Everything they just rolled out a few weeks back in the announcement of the R2 launch coming in 2026. It's got all the bells and whistles. I mean, it's got basically all the functionality seemingly of the R1S. It's got a few more toggles and it's built out really well.

on the interior compared to, I think, the minimalistic Tesla approach. You've got the flashlight in the door, you've got a rear window that actually rolls down.

Never driven, never rode in. Arivian just seen them from afar on the road. So I can't speak to the build quality, of course. But I think that is a question is will in 2026, they actually scale back the production models and what's actually built into those. Does some of the quality diminish because they're trying to hit that 45K price point? Or fast forward two years when that R2 is released,

do they bump up the price? I mean, as we've seen, as I mentioned with Tesla and nearly every single model,

Inflation happens, production hiccups happen, decisions upon production of what do we include or exclude happen that result in a higher cost. Two years go by, I mentioned inflation, but again, think of the Cybertruck. It's $20,000 more, $15,000 more than what Elon was originally targeting two, three years ago.

Some of that's obviously to be expected. Two years go by, inflation happens, it's part of it. So I think that's my major concern there and why I pulled the trigger back in January on a Model Y, even though, of course, the R2 announcement hadn't happened yet. But rather than waiting for these other EV companies to catch up, Tesla's been around for years and years and years. They've mastered what they do. Sure, there's some minor build quality things here and there, but they're not going to

But I went with the sure thing. The Supercharger Network, the company that regularly releases these over-the-air software updates that seem to have it totally figured out. I was fully confident in purchasing a Tesla, whereas Rivian, granted they're making some significant ground in the EV market. My concern, and what would contrast me from this post, having the patience to wait it out for an R2, is...

The 45K price point is so attractive, it's going to directly compete with the Model Y, but will that really happen? Two years from now in 2026, one, is it even ready to roll? Is the R2 in full production mode starting to satisfy deliveries and some of those pre-orders? Do they push it another year? What does the Juniper Model Y refresh look like? Because you've got to think that that's going to be at least announced by next year, 2025. And so I figure...

that will sway some buyers over to the refreshed Model Y, you got to think in 2025, even before that R2 comes out. So I think that'll cut into the R2 market a bit as well. So my hopes are high for the R2. It looked fantastic at the reveal. The price point is great. I love that they're competing directly with Tesla and giving them some competition, at the very least just to keep Tesla on its toes and keep those prices as low as possible for the Model Y.

But OKVU8599, salute to you, my guy or woman, for your patience. Stronger than most of us and being able to wait until 2026 for that R2. Best of luck to you.

Final post that caught my attention over this past week. This is one, again, breaking my rule again, it's not from the Tesla Model Y subreddit. It's actually from the neighboring sister channel r slash Model Y. This is from user Romir1. It just says, convince me. Thinking about trading in my 2019 4Runner for a 2024 Model Y. I commute 80 miles daily. Why should I get the Model Y?

There's 38 comments on this post, and obviously this caught my attention, and I read it on this podcast. For those that are listening, I know you're out there. I'd say at least a quarter or half of the listeners, especially the new listeners, are the folks that are prospective buyers.

So this one's for you. So whether you're switching from a 2019 4Runner or you're like myself switching from a 2013 Kia Optima or anywhere in between, I think this post is helpful to at least shed some light on is it worth making the switch to an EV, to a Tesla, to a Model Y, let alone a brand new 2024. So I just wanted to read through some of the comments and then I can share some of my thoughts as well.

Most upvoted comment says test drive it. It's a great car, but not perfect. Don't bother unless you have a plan to plug in at the house. My take, I couldn't be more opposite than that comment.

One, I didn't test drive it. Two, I had never test driven a Model Y. However, I had driven, as I've said before, my sister's Model 3, which I absolutely loved. Loved the one pedal driving, even though it took many days to get used to. And so that was what got me addicted to Tesla and led me down this Model Y wormhole that I've been on and eventually led to my purchase. So I

I will say I never test drove a Model Y specifically and even the vehicle that I purchased. It was a 2021 Model Y Long Range from a third party dealer in another state. And so I didn't purchase from the used vehicle inventory on the Tesla site.

Side note there, but it bothers me that Tesla does not post or send actual photos of that used vehicle. It basically just says it fits within these specific specs, as in there's no scratches more than three inches. There's no...

wear and tear larger than one inch on the interior. There's no window scrapes or cracks larger than two inches. So it's very, very arbitrary and hard to put a finger on, okay, is this a minor, very obvious scratch right in the driver's side of the windshield, or is this something on the bottom right that I'll never even be able to tell unless I break out a microscope?

So anyway, buying a used vehicle through the Tesla site, while I've seen and heard great things about it, the ease of delivery, the ease of the purchase process, typically those vehicles are in great shape. That worried me, not being able to see any possible dent or scrape or a vehicle or actual photos of the vehicle to know exactly what I was purchasing.

So anyway, I bought from a third party dealer out of state, never test drove it, never saw it in person. Uh, the salesperson I worked with, of course it was a used car 2021. Uh,

was great in that I had them send me photos. They also went out of their way to send me a video, which I didn't ask for, and called out without me having to ask, "By the way, here's a dent here, here's a dent here, here's a scrape here. Looks like the trunk works okay." They did a full two, three-minute walk around internally and externally of the vehicle, which was super, super helpful. Built my trust immediately with the dealer.

that they called out those imperfections and they also had those buffed out before they even shipped it to me and did it on the house. So Lexus of Arlington up in Illinois was where I purchased that vehicle. Shout out to them. Feel free to hit me up directly if you have any questions about buying used through a third party, but worked out for me without the test drive. This other portion of this comment says, don't bother unless you have a plan to plug in at the house.

As I mentioned many, many times, much more convenient if you can plug in at the house every night, top up, you don't have to think about it with a little bit of planning. As long as you live in a city that has superchargers nearby, level two chargers are plentiful at grocery stores, things of the sort. Um,

But also, if you are lucky like me and have a Volta free level two charger nearby, that's worked out fantastic for me. It's right down the road. I can park it. It'll charge up for free for a few hours. I can walk back over there and grab it, and I'm on my way. So yes, you have to go a little bit out of the way if you cannot plug in at the house, but I wouldn't let that keep you from buying an EV or a Tesla. I don't regret it.

I don't regret my purchase at all. Again, fairly new to it. Purchased two months ago back in January, but no regrets here. Anyway, let me get back to this post about trading in the 2019 4Runner for a 2024 Model Y. Convinced me to do it. One of the posts says, Bro, my mom has a 2019 4Runner. I know what your gas bill is. You don't need any convincing.

Fair point there. That's exactly what led me to a Model Y. I had decent gas mileage in a 2013 Optima, you could throw it on Eco mode, but I absolutely love the guilt-free driving of a Tesla, knowing that I'm paying significantly less to charge up my vehicle versus stopping at a gas station. Side note, but I was out in California this past weekend, and seeing the gas prices out there of four to five bucks a gallon,

No wonder there's so many Teslas on the road. One in every 10 to 15 cars is a Tesla out there. And it absolutely makes sense out there. Once you get over that purchase price, there's tons of posts about depreciation, which, of course, that happens with every vehicle. I don't think...

Most folks purchase a vehicle with resale value in mind, but you buy to own, you buy to own it for five, 10 years, save on gas, you're paying off the car rather than how much you would dump into gas and maintenance, oil changes, tire rotations, etc.

Granted, you still have to do that with the Tesla, but all the routine maintenance you have to do with a standard internal combustion engine vehicle, don't have to worry about or do or pay those costs with Tesla. Another comment says, I drive just as much as you. I got one today, and it's awesome.

One comment from Consistent Chapter 8 says, "If you had home charging installed, your fuel costs would drop by two-thirds. As a Model Y owner myself, I enjoy not having oil changes." Another noticeable upgrade: "0-60 time for your vehicle is 7.6 seconds, whereas the long-range Model Y is a 4.8, and the performance is 3.5 seconds."

And I gotta say, I have the long-range Model Y. That 4.8 seconds, 0 to 60, it seems so much quicker than that. Some of the best sports cars out there, sure, they have great acceleration, but they still gotta shift gears. Even if you got an automatic vehicle, the Tesla, you step on the gas, you step on the accelerator, should I say, and it just goes. So even without the...

you know, performance boost, the quicker acceleration. The 4.8 seconds, zero to 60 in the long range Model Y seems super, super snappy and quick. This comment goes on to read end of quarter incentive and the $7,500 tax rebate are nice. Also, test drive one to make sure.

Let's see if there's anything else. One says quiet, fast, inexpensive to run, totally different infotainment, autopilot. Period, period, period. So basically saying yes, make the switch. Let's see. Another one says only if you can get a charger at home. Biggest thing would be saving on gas. I calculated our Model Y long range to compare to a car that gets 40 to 45 miles per gallon. Autopilot's pretty great too.

One comment reads, you shouldn't get it, but doesn't go into detail. Let me actually read through this one quick. This is from Mary Band of Pirates. There's no upvotes on it, so bear with me as I'm reading it for the first time. But it's...

You know, a contrary point to this post, it says, I have it. The car works great, but would not buy it or any Tesla again. The infotainment system is poor and over a minimizing of the interior to the extent that it's sparse and less functional. I love having electric and there are a lot of options out there now, but if it's your only car, then also consider a plug-in hybrid. And don't do this at all if you can't plug in at home.

So there you hear it for the third time. Again, the car is solid and the pickup and linear acceleration is a blast. 100% agree there. I haven't had any issues with the car for almost a year now other than some tiny ones identified at pickup that they addressed. But the car isn't comfortable to be in for long stretches. Let me pause there. So I agree. I mentioned it in a prior podcast. I went on a road trip from Austin to Dallas. Three hours in the car. Was looking forward to it. First...

quote-unquote road trip in the new vehicle. My neck was killing me by the end of it, and you look at the seats, it's because the headrest totally slants forward, so there's no neck support whatsoever. Anyway, scoured the internet for a neck pillow. One thing that I always made fun of every time I saw it in Tesla vehicles or photos of them, that's a bougie, non-necessary accessory.

However, those were just delivered to me today.

For what it's worth, highly, highly recommend them. So much greater neck support. I'm taking another road trip this weekend, so we'll put it to the test, see if the neck holds up better. But I bought the Hop-On Headrest Pillow from Amazon. The brand name is H-O-P-O-N. They're not a sponsor. Would love them to be. But the reason I got it is, one, it looks exactly like...

an OEM pillow. The color itself, the material is the exact same. I have the black interior as the black interior and the black seats. It's very minimalistic looking. It looks like it's from Tesla. So highly recommended in that regard. It's also got some solid support. The strap that goes behind the headrest is actually thin enough so you can tuck it in and under the headrest so you don't see it.

But highly, highly recommend finding some sort of neck pillow for the Model Y, especially for, or really for any Teslas, but for road trips as well.

it'll kill your neck over time from what i found in just a three hour drive so anyway recommend the neck pillow for for comfort and long stretches um but anyway this comment continues to to go on and says the limited choices in the infotainment are noticeable if you do anything other than stream music or if you want a mapping option of your choice further newer models are set to be even more minimal removing the stocks for example

Should add, the charging network is amazing. I have no range fear in this car, it's just more annoying than a gas or hybrid car on long trips. But, the supercharger network is top notch, you just won't save any money if you rely on public charging. Um...

No additional comments to that one other than it's true about the infotainment. I love it. I mean, granted, I did end up purchasing the premium connectivity because I like the streaming ability for music, for podcasts, and for even the music player that they have. It's similar to thinking back to Pandora back in the day where you select a genre or artist of your choice that plays music

by that artist or similar to it. It requires connectivity, so I loved it in my first 30 days that I had premium connectivity. And so I ended up not being able to drive without it, so I ended up subscribing to the premium connectivity

Anyway, the infotainment options give me more than enough and more than I'm used to coming from a car that had no screen at all. So I'm happy with it, but it does not have Apple CarPlay. Of course, you can connect your phone via Bluetooth, play things through that, but it doesn't have folks coming from like this gentleman or lady, a 2019 model, which likely had some sort of screen in there, perhaps had Apple CarPlay, but

Honestly, maybe not for 2019, but anyway, using Waze directly on the screen, for example. I miss, but the Tesla navigation is solid. I trust it with building in supercharging stops into my route, so infotainment gets the check of approval for me at least. Let's see if there's any additional comments here. A lot of people are going to bat for Tesla and the Model Y here on this.

on this thread. Anyway, obviously folks are biased. It's a Model Y subreddit. But I wanted to share that post for the prospective buyers in the room and those listening. I know a lot of you guys are listening for the first time.

listens, plays, followers are going up week by week, so I appreciate you guys for that. But that's why I wanted to read it, is I'll never sway away from that. That's, like I said in the intro to the show, what I was looking for when I was in the market was rather than scouring the web, trying to get questions answered, if there was a way to aggregate those answers and that feedback and differing opinions,

little things like accessories, which there's thousands of on YouTube and videos about it. But little things about, you know, any regrets, can I make this work in an apartment, supercharging, build troubles. That's what this podcast is for. So that's why I wanted to share that post. Hopefully that was helpful for any prospective buyers out there.

The Y of the week, the best looking Tesla Model Y that I saw this week. Shout out to user Fitarachnid1870. It just says my Model Y long range. It's a beautiful red Model Y long range. It's got a fantastic looking splitter in the front. Again, I don't have one of those on my vehicle. Don't think I'll do it, just I'm too scared of drilling that on a curb and totally ruining it.

and embarrassing myself in the process. But for what it's worth, I know it's hard to describe a vehicle in a photo on a podcast, so I won't spend too much time on it. But they got the blacked out badges, full dark tint, including what looks to be on the windshield to where you can't even see the driver or passenger seat, which looks absolutely incredible.

Unfortunately, it's not legal here in Texas, but I think also many states as well, so be careful with that. But this is actually helpful. The OP actually reads, here's the mods I've done to my Model Y long range. Exterior, carbon fiber mirror caps. It's got that BMW M-series look to it with the point inward on the top section of the side mirrors.

So exterior mods, carbon fiber mirror caps, carbon fiber lip, carbon fiber turn signal covers,

Blacked out logos, OEM performance rims, 21 inch. So they got the Uber turbine wheels, the carbon fiber spoiler, and then the interior. They've got the Alcantara headliner. I love that one. And a swivel screen. So to make your screen obviously swivel so it's not in that fixed straight backwards facing position. A few photos...

comments on this post. We're asking for pics from the back, how about some links, OP Sybil post later tonight. I don't see any photos of the back, but for what it's worth, anybody interested in the Alcantara headliner says it was about $1,200. While I love the Alcantara material, I don't think I'd spend $1,200 to do it, but...

Man, I love it. The absolutely perfectly matching super dark tint on it with the front lip, the mirror covers, the red and the black contrast of the Tesla emblem looks phenomenal. So user fitarachnet1870, shout out to you for winning the why of the week award. A beautiful looking car.

That's all we got for today. Again, short episode. I think time-wise it's probably still on par with what you guys are used to, but only three topics, three posts that caught my attention over this past week. Trends that are great to see, though, is that full self-driving received a massive update a couple weeks ago that had significant improvements, at least for the folks that have used it and tried it and put it to the test. And then to see auto park is back again.

Looks extremely user-friendly. Really effective too. It seems like it works really, really well. I can't speak to it. I don't have enhanced autopilot or full self-driving, so I do not. Unfortunately, I will not have access to it. But for those out there that do, curious to know y'all's thoughts. Again, we have an Instagram page. It's just yteslamodely.

So curious to see y'all's thoughts on those questions as well. And then again, on Spotify, there's an open forum for
