I'm driving a Highland. No gear lever is totally fine. Just use the screen, it's not tedious to do. When you arrive at your destination, just unfasten your seat belt and the car will shift to P.

No one, and i repeat, no one does tech reviews like this lad. The video quality, the light balance and the way everything is shown in your reviews is top notch. I was a fun of MKBHD but when i discovered this page, i never went back. Thanks for the reviews The Tech Chap, i really appreciate it.

More punchy and much better midrange performance • Annoying deep resonance tone from rear of car has been eliminated • Improved door latch and door seals. More premium door "thunk" closing sound • 27% more downforce on rear tires • New gearing in powertrain for slight efficiency improvement • Changed lubrication in powertrain for reduced frictional losses • The front seats automatically move forward so the rear seat headrests don't hit the front seats when folding down • Redesigned interior with new door cards • New metal looking speaker housing trim • More premium interior materials. The fabric is softer to the touch and sewn with a more refined process to present a better overall texture. Double stitching design on dash (new Model 3 doesn't have that) • No more gear stalk.

Turn signal stalk is still there (unlike the new Model 3) • New steering wheel contains light controls, horn, new camera button, wiper controls and mic control. • New dash design with textured/woven material • Multicolor ambient LED interior lighting extending from dash to rear seat doors • Updated more premium center console • Acoustic double pane glass on rear windows and back window (was only on front windows before). "360º acoustic glass" • Center touchscreen now brighter, has smaller bezels, higher contrast & is more responsive. Larger 15.4" main screen (vs 15" for old Y) • More sound insulation for a quieter ride • Upgraded suspension for a softer ride • Front seatbelt pickup point is 27mm lower to accommodate larger body sizes • Slimmer turn signal stalk • New hole at bottom of steering wheel to rest fingers • New silver trim around wireless phone charging area (Model 3 doesn't have this) • New squared off rear trunk glass shape • Next-gen Airwave 2.0 ventilation system.

You can charge a laptop • Improved bluetooth • 50% improved cellular connectivity. 2X greater WiFi range (dual-band) • 10x improved connectivity to phone so car will recognize your phone from farther away • Two new wheel designs that better optimize battery life • New Tesla lettering replaces rear Tesla logo badge • Car is 1.6" longer overall • Front light bar with an overall slimmer and sleeker front car design • New "TESLA" logo on steering wheel
@BoazAfful

@carlwheezer1544
I assume it can only make right turns
@SportyGeek12
Can’t wait to heil an Uber and get in one of these!
@star_man
I thought about buying a Tesla, and then Musk showed his true bigotry, I’m going for a Polestar, I’m never buying anything Musk is involved in.
@aaron4820
Tom on Monday watching the news: WHY DO YOU DO THIS I JUST EDITED THE VIDEO. In all seriousness, not sure I like the design, gives me strong BYD vibes. Also big no for getting rid of more physical controls, I wish for a future of UX like Teenage Engineering, not iPad.
@Madblaster6
1 stalk is better than no stalk. It's the biggest reason I didn't buy a Tesla other than the price.
@coeuznatas
You can see that the design Heils back to german design. I'm looking forward to the new Model SS, it's going to be facism... sorry, fascinating to see.
@T9Con
I would have considered buying one. At this point I just can't stomach the thought. Not like they care or need my money anyway.
@ItsSamori
Looks similar to a Sonata now.
@citizenharris9167
So the man holding the camera and shooting the video is called cameraman James? Clever.
@evostu7814
Looking forward to the performance version, will order as soon it’s available.
@lukasu8243
Awesome video! You hit the perfect balance of chill, funny & informative + awesome shots :) Please give us more car videos Tom! :D
@jamesking2822
It's not bad looking, very sleek with the pointier nose and light bar. I'm more looking forward to seeing a refresh of the dated Model X.
@WinnersMind67
Finally a honest opinion about the looks of both model y. He’s not like the other dumb YouTubers out there lying about the looks. 😂😂😂
@MJG70
I like your channel but I would prefer no Tesla coverage! Oh well
