Tesla Model Y User opinions and reviews

Tesla’s power specs are wrong as usual.
Old M3s have 208 kW rear motor except for Performance which has 235 kW rear motor. Front motor is 158 kW. New Highland have same motor power specs except that new Performance have rear motor with 303 kW. Model Y have also same front motor power as Model 3, but RWD and LR AWD have rear motor rated at 220 kW, LR RWD 255 kW and Performance have 235 kW rear motor. That doesn’t mean that on dual motors you can just add power to get combined output and also it doesn’t mean that max motor power or torque is used. For example, although MY LR AWD rear motor is rated at 220kW, it is never used except if front tyres slip, for example. To use all rear motor power of 220 kW and all its torque in MY LR AWD, Acceleration Boost need to be purchased. Then both motors can use fully rated power,but it is limited for speeds between cca 70-135 kmph. After 135 kmph LR AWD with AB has just slightly more power and further Performance has again slightly more power. But Performance have much more torque available from both motors unlike LR AWD.
MY LR AWD have combined output of 351 HP, LR RWD have 347 HP, but RWD have only around 450 Nm and AWD 527 Nm. Performance have combined max power at 462 HP and 649 Nm of torque. With AB, My LR AWD have unlocked front motor to have same power and torque as Performance and rear motor to fully utilize its max power and torque, but it is still a bit slower than Performance because of more powerful and torquey rear motor.
Those power and torque figures look a bit weal, but all power and torque of the motor is used all the time during acceleration, while ICE car is using it max rated power and torque based on rpm it is in currently, so during acceleration, ICE car uses much less of it max potential and that is why EV car can accelearate faster up until highway speed than much powerful ICE car. Porsche uses in its EV Taycan geara so EV with gears can use its all max torque and power all the time from start to top speed.

Does anybody know of a fix for the resonant vibration on Model Y Performance? Passengers that try to sleep with their head against the seat back say there is a harsh repetitive banging vibration from the suspension against their head. Is there a software update that better synchronizes the different front and rear tire diameters? Is there a running change to the suspension geometry? No other brands (VW, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, Lexus, etc.) exhibit this on the same roads. Thx.

I see these everywhere on the road! I'm not complaining, since EVs should be the standard.

Also now available in Australia and New Zealand. Has the same ~60kW LFP battery as the Model 3 RWD (MIC) with a quoted WLTP of 455 km.
