This video is a review and impression of the 2023 Tesla Model Y refresh after four months and approximately 7,000 miles of ownership. The speaker discusses the car's performance, features, efficiency, and value compared to previous models. He also covers both the pros and cons of the refresh.
The speaker's main criticisms of the 2023 Model Y refresh are:
Lack of fog lights: He dislikes the removal of fog lights, considering it a cost-cutting measure. While the light bar is a positive, he feels the fog lights provided valuable additional illumination.
Absence of a 120V outlet: The lack of a 120V outlet is surprising to him, especially considering most cars in this price range include one.
Insufficient USB ports: He finds the number of USB ports (four total, with one dedicated to Sentry Mode) insufficient for modern needs.
"Half-effort" 20-inch wheels: The speaker feels the new 20-inch wheels are not a significant improvement over previous designs and represent a missed opportunity.
Lack of major hardware upgrades: While appreciating the new features, he points out the absence of more significant hardware improvements, such as increased range or faster charging, which some consumers anticipated.
