A Tesla Cybertruck owner in Austin, Texas recently had the opportunity to test drive the new Model Y, and shared his insights on social media. The demo drives were offered by Tesla in Austin and Dallas, Texas, giving potential customers a chance to experience the revamped all-electric crossover.
The Cybertruck owner, known as @VoyageATXBen, had several observations about the new Model Y. He praised the vehicle’s suspension, noting that it felt incredibly solid when going over bumps or imperfections on the road. He also mentioned that the regenerative braking felt stronger than the previous Model Y, and the brake pedal had a firmer feel. In terms of ride quality, the new Model Y was compared to the reengineered Tesla Model 3, which received high praise for its upgraded suspension system.
Moving on to the cabin, @VoyageATXBen was impressed with how quiet it was, likening it to wearing noise-cancelling headphones. He noted that the materials used in the cabin and seats were a step up from the previous Model Y, and that the buttons on the steering wheel felt like physical buttons. However, he did mention that the single turn stalk felt somewhat cheap due to its lightness, and that rear visibility had not improved from the previous model due to the slim rear windshield.
During the test drive, the Cybertruck owner also noticed some interesting features in the new Model Y. The demo unit had adaptive headlights enabled, and the air conditioning system had a swing mode that allowed the vents to direct air left and right, which he found to be a neat feature.
Overall, the new Tesla Model Y left a positive impression on @VoyageATXBen, who shared his initial impressions on social media. These insights provide potential customers with a glimpse into what they can expect from the revamped all-electric crossover. Tesla continues to innovate and improve its vehicles, offering a combination of performance, technology, and comfort for electric vehicle enthusiasts.
