Tesla Model Y cold temperature overview (not enough test & data to my taste but it is ok) done last February in Alaska, including interesting test on 20% inclinaison ramp, re-start from full stop with one side of the ramp fully iced

AoA full review of Model Y

Why Elon can't build a normal, convenient car I will never understand  :-\  (glass roof causing a local greenhouse effect, screen operated air vents, etc.)

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.

^ re: AoA review, he certainly is a fan of EV's (bought a Kia Soul EV for himself), but he does nit pick, which isn't wrong, but I didn't find his review particularly good.   He did like the driving experience though.

I think the review was not biased. If Savage G reviewed it he would bomb it from space  ;D

Tesla Model Y imported by Volvo ... Swedish automaker wants to understand how Model Y is structured and learn useful lessons.

But when somebody does this with a Tesla it has a whole new meaning or at least that is how Tesla fans like to spin it.

Yes, all manufacturers do that.

And I am not impressed with the Model Y. It does not have supersonic speed, all weather attack ability, a high surface ceiling, or the ability to mount dumb and smart weapons on its pylons like a Tornado fighter-bomber....it is a much superior way of defending your airspace and projecting airpower to support yo...........oh wait, that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS THREAD? Right.

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

I think Black and Decker sells more power tools, so they're better than Cuisinart.

Yes, but the toughness and durability of the T-34 tank makes it a much better sports car

They're more valuable than all other major beer makers combined, too....so that also means they make the best beer!

Sorry to derail this thread by going off subject but Model Y price just got lowered in Canada to $69,900.  If it was selling like hotcakes I doubt Tesla would lower the price now?

Sorry for the interruption, let’s go back to Mustangs, beer, pies and bikes.  ;D
