This is probably the best model comparison I've seen between the two. Focused on space and practicality rather than performance and range. Great job!
i agree
Definitely agree. The 7 seater is the way to go even if you’re not going to use everyday is there in my opinion
Cos mums know whats important ;)
Hybrid Pacifica is looking really good….
Agreed
08:00 the young woman in the car speaks like she is about 15 years older than she appears to be. Really well spoken.
Yeah she looks like she barely could even be educated
Thank you! She’s only 11
lol
@@christinanallen4575 shes impressive. Her voice is so stern and clear. She knows her stuff and isn't shy. You should encourage her n see of she wants to do youtube videos.
I wish I had parents that taught me to be like that too. I am 35 and come across as retarded.
finally the video that everyone has been waiting for
Lmao
This has been the best Tesla (for a family ) review I have seen ! I have been wanting the X but couldn’t pull the trigger because of the cost. Seeing the Y and X together , it’s the Y for me. The $40k more on the X is for those doors that just aren’t practical for us. Thanks for doing this.
In regards to the Model X, there are 3 seating options: 5, 6, or 7 seats. The 6 seat layout is actually MORE expensive than the 7 seat due to the captain-style chairs. Of course, the 5 seat option is the cheapest of the three if you're just looking to get into a Model X at the most affordable price. The Model X will also have an adjustable air suspension for a smoother ride and you can raise or lower it to get in and out of steep driveways. So the X is larger in physical size, larger battery, air suspension, falcon-wing doors, gauge cluster behind the steering wheel, more technology like auto presenting doors that open and close, etc. These are the things to consider if the price difference is worth it to you. Oh, and Rodriguez daughter...superstar!
Thanks for putting someone in the back seat to give a real picture of what its like.
So baby girl's first car will be self-driving, that's just amazing. Back when I was her age, power windows were an option and I had to walk a mile in the snow to school. LOL
How cute is the Rodriguez family! The daughter stole the show. :)
Yeah she is so well spoken!
The little brother too!😂
Yes, no filler words at all! My kids should take note! 😂
This video has been extremely helpful since I have a third kid on the way and I'm trying to decide between a model y with a third row and a model x with a third row. Thanks kim!
The X is still the one I prefer. I would love to get the new refresh version with that same 6 seat configuration you have.
I love you ladies! Great recap. Trying to get my wife to give up her Enclave. We already have the Performance version of the Y (for me), but if I could get her to give up the ICE, I’d trade for the 7 seater and pick up a 3. Thank you.
Just placed an order for my 7 seater Y and this really helped me decide so thank you so much. I'm so excited!!! Love the white on white 🤩.
Finally the first practical review. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! Hands down the best comparison for us to make our decision!
With us having two kids aged 2 years old and a 7 month, the Y provided us enough space. Depending on how big the family, I see the Y dominating for most families at that price point. This video has me excited for our delivery date!
This is actually extremely informative. Thanks
this was a dope video for sure!!! Getting that new X
This is the exact video I have been waiting for. I am stuck in my lease for a while but as soon as it up i am getting my MY 7 seater
Thank you for your honesty about the car. Saving up to get Model Y.
I recently purchased a Y for my family, the kids love it lol
my only major concern for the model y 7 seater is what happens if you have older child or small adult in the back seat and the Model Y hits a big bump. How hard is that impact on the back roof/window going to be if the kid/adult bouncing hits. Also I wonder what the impact to EPA range would be for fully loaded (7 people with stuff) vs 1 person with no stuff. I am guessing that EPA tests with no stuff.
Also air suspension on x and ability to reduce the regen.
As a mom of 3 toddlers/babies , I would go for model X 6 seats because I won’t be able to put down most of the seats anyway. I got 3 car seats and need to go to the back to check their seatbelts.
Kudos on a superb video. Perhaps one of the best comparisons out there on KZhead. I am on the fence about any sort of Tesla as a father of 3 little kids (6/3/6 weeks). This is making my decision path more comfortable. Appreciate your hard work on putting this together!
What did you end up getting? I’m in your same boat with ages in our kiddos?
17:03 It always makes sense to get a tow hitch. It's only a few extra dollars on your payment. I am not a big fan on White interior because it gets dirty looking over time. Especially with kids.
This is so useful for PARENTS! We were considering a toyota highlander, but I think we could make this work! Thanks Kim!
One of best comparisons videos out there. Thank you
oh man.. that smart kid can speak much better on camera than I can 😅... Id subscribe to her if she ever makes a channel.
That second row is vertical on the recliner, the idea is that you move it forward and recline it a bit. Great content!!!
Both great cars. For those who like sleek minimalist look, then the Model Y is suitable for them. For those who like more noticeable options, then Model X is suitable for them.
I’m a single guy with no kids I don’t really have need for these vehicles but I’m really impressed with the actual in-depth practical review if I was looking for something like this this is exactly the way I want someone to review it.
I just got my model Y 3months ago and I love it! But if I could afford the X that’s what I would’ve chosen. It just something about the model X 🤦🏽♀️ the doors and it way more roomy. Btw, I love your neighborhood😍 great video!
Is the ride quality harsh?!
Great comparison of the space within the X and Y! Good explaining the measurements, and the impromptu activity of everyone.
Model Y much more room than I thought possible. Very useful video.
You can adjust 3rd row leg room in the Y while you’re sitting back there - just hold the button on the shoulder of the second row seats and move them forward or back.
I'm gonna need that girl to coach me for my public speaking class I'm taking this fall! She's amazing!
Great review and personally, I think all Teslas Rock!
I have a 3, soon to be Y so I would buy the Y but I still think the X is the best looking Tesla. It just looks so badass to me. Y has better charging and tech
Great, great video! Thank you very much for the comparison!
Going for my Y test drive in Roswell today!
Going with the Y headlights and trunk on point!
Love the comparison for families.
you should sit on the passenger side of the 3rd row. I couldn't fit my feet under the seat. the rails won't let me put my feet/shoes side by side. the driver side is "larger" because the rails are supporting the left and mid second row seats, hence it's wider. the passenger side rails is supporting only the right side 2nd row seat. the rails are closer together. the only way to "set" my feet on the floor (while on the passenger side 3rd row seat) is either pushing the 2nd row seat forward to get more room and putting each feet on each rail. Or putting my left foot in front of the driver side 3rd row seat and my right foot in front of me. I'm not tall, 5'5" with size 9.5 shoes. did I miss a technique in how to sit in the 3rd row?
Really great informative video, big thankyou ladies Exactly what I was looking for
Best car comparison video EVER. 😎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You guys did a good job of showing in real time the space in these vehicles, I have been eyeing these things hard and honestly feel that for my families need, it would be best to save the money on the bigger car and get the smaller car
Model Y 3rd row looks super tight
16:06 Oh I definitely knew this. I'll never know what warm hands feel like. - Me, a 2020 Model Y Owner :(
Great comparison. Already sent to a friend. Love moms in ripped jeans!!!!
lol
The Model X needs to be stretched a little and include adaptable 2nd row seats. Time for a Model X Max!
and make it taller
Do a side video of the Y and a group of 7 people getting in going to a location getting out, then all getting in, mix the seating up and video back and the pros and cons, then do it with the X
great comparison...I rented a Tesla...and fell in love with it..so different and fun....upgrading for a heated steering wheel? I mean I like mean I like the heated steering wheel in winter....but not really a reason for an upgrade..LOL
This was really helpful, I was trying to make a decision on what I should get so I can drive it in my dreams 🤣
Best practical Tesla review videos. I prefer this over those tech, performance and etc.
Good job guys. Great inside.
how much is the electricity cost per motnh more or less?
A heart ♥️ from you would be tremendous and that would make my day
Thanks for your support!
i guess ur day is made now
was looking for a comparison of the suspension and how the ride feels between the two
Watched several crappy videos on this subject but this was pretty good!
Nice to finally see a BIPOC in a Tesla video!
Great review ! Thanks … just as a feedback most of the actual market for this autos is China and Europe and we don’t get the measurements from your system but looking the proportions we have an idea of what your talking about … thanks again !
Nice to see you guys doing videos more.
Good comparison. Wish you would have compared front storage.
Do you think you will ever get one of the new refresh model s or x? Also have u preorderd cybertruck?
This just sealed the deal for me. Just scheduled my model Y test drive.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I will get a Tesla for my family when they do something more comfy and bigger like a van because this looks so uncomfortable compared to my Honda Odyssey, no way I going to put my kids in this really uncomfortable place. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Yeah, exactly. It's just too small. I think it's funny that it's marketed as an SUV. If anything, it looks more like a full size sedan/crossover.
Very nicely done. Thank you!
Thank you, this is answering my wife & my questions!
Well this was very informative thanks!!
Gorgeous. And so is the vehicle.
Is there an ac vent for the 3rd row? Is the trunk glass going to feel (very) hot in the middle of the day? I don't see the 3rd row very comfortable.
It actually is really comfortable at least for me in the back, the glass in the back is not very hot. I am 5 feet tall and it is very comfortable.
@@christinanallen4575 How is the lighting at night for the third row? I noticed that there isn’t any lighting back there either.
@@christinanallen4575 now that you’ve had the car a little while, how is the 3rd row? I did a test drive with my 4 kids and everyone hated it. I’m so bummed.
I was thinking about getting the X but the Y seems to be the right choice especially the performance model 😎
Thank you and Candice Owens for the review!
Thank you! Very good informative video.
7 seater is the way to go 🎉
Very cool and informative video! Thank you
I wonder if the middle 20% section of the second row of model Y can be removed entirely so as to mimic the 2nd row captain seats of model X?
I’m looking at the S just I hear so many thing about the door handle not working well plus I live in a cold climate
Does the model x second row have arm rest?
Great video, thank you. May I ask how you'd rate seat comfort in the X vs the Y/3.
X is far more comfortable imo
very detailed video....great stuff
This is the video I was looking for (:
I just moved feom Canton Ga ro Castle Rock Colorado and you two really make me miss Ga.
Wow the seats fold really nice and flat great if you want to put a couple of dogs in the back. So many ev's have terrible seat folding but this Y reminds me of the way a prius seats fold down to make a nice flat area.
We need an updated video today with current prices being way less and more closer together and also the new models
ThNk you !
Very impressive that the seats fold that flat with the 7 seat Y. Hmm. Europe does not get those for quite a while...
I love the comparisons. This is very knowledgeable for anybody looking but honestly why spend an extra 40k when you got it all in the Y? I’m in love and can’t wait to get my Y this weekend. 😊
Great review this, both of these cars are great, here in the UK the model X is big on our small roads so the Y is more practical, that being said the 7 seater model Y looks really cramped in the back, fine for young kids but you would likely need to trade up to something else later on, for that family maybe a model S would have been the better solution? Seems both of you have spent so much money you can't afford new jeans 😜 Thanks for a great review
I thought the model S only comes with 5 seats.
@@CC-te4jz the S had a rear jump seat (rear facing) option from 2013-2015. It was discontinued when the X was launched.
if you didn't buy it with the extra seat, could you get it after? and how?
OMG, with all due respect, how beautiful are you moms in that neighborhood! (I'm really sorry if this sounds creepy, covid has kept me separated from my wife for a long time now) Anyway, great video, most useful comparison between the 2 models I've seen!
I love your videos I got leaf first and hopefully tesla later
I’m really wondering how you can open the falcon doors in an nyc parking garage? I feel like it would be instantly damaged.
Good comparison video
Just took a test drive of the Model Y 7 seater. The 3rd row was useless. Even my 5 yr old was so uncomfortable sitting back there even with the 2nd row seats moved forward. As a 5 seater the Model Y is super spacious.
I foresee a trade-in for you in the near future, Kim. Frankly, I'm tempted to do the same. It's not as if I have kids to accommodate, however, so… I'm thinking I'll hold off until the Y comes with Tesla's new 4860 battery… and thus even more range. I really enjoyed meeting your neighbor, Christina, in this episode. Nice folks and great friends! Hope we see them with you on one of your famous weekend jaunts!
Family of six with a Sienna and model 3. At 6’6” and using the easy entry on the 3 no one wants to sit behind even our smallest child. Also the 3’s belts in the rear are a pain with boosters. For what the X costs I would need Sienna type room in all 3 rows. Wish they would have made an X XL or something.
Yeah, these cars just aren't practical for large families. They need to make van sized electric cars.
We’re a family of 7 and I currently drive a Yukon XL to accommodate my kids (2, 5, 9, 11, and 12) because I don’t want them cramped. They do lots of activities so I need room for sports equipment, Colorguard flags, etc. I want an electric vehicle but what’s on the market currently just won’t cut it for my family sadly
Does the Model Y 3rd row have child seat anchors?
Smart kids are the best!
White seats are the best in the Y!!
btw guys for height im 5.9 and i fit in the back and i can probaly stay there for about 2 hours
