Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[bharathk]

That's great to know. I've ordered the 20" wheels and was a bit concerned about ride quality from some car reviewers who complained about it being too firm.

It all depends on what you drive currently I guess , CX5 with 19inch wheels is a bit firm but not really harsh . I felt same if not better in 20inch Tesla. I deliberately went onto Northshore where roads are quite bad so nothing too concerning as reviews mentioned

I have another question, do these cars come with wall connector? I know they give us mobile connectors with multi pin and all.

Mobile connectors come with two plugs , one normal plug where we can plug to house hold 10a plugs which charges at 10km/h range I think. Other one is for 5pin chargers similar to how caravans charge

Mobile Connector is useful when you’re away from home and on extended trips. View the charging speed based on your model and adapter.

Coming from a Skoda Kodiaq which is has 19" wheels but a pretty fat sidewall 235x50 R19. It soaks up road imperfections well but wollows around corners too much for my liking. I'm expecting (and hoping) the Y to be more firm and sporty but not enough to rattle out my teeth.

It drove more like a car as its not that tall , steering was sharp . Also when i looked at videos steering looked like cheap rubber one , but its actually got a really good feeling to it, it was soft vegan leather

I rented a Model 3 Performance for a long weekend in April and found the suspension fine. If the Model Y RWD ride quality is anything like that I’ll be happy. That was a mighty quick car, sadly the Y won’t be as fun to accelerate I’m afraid.

No you’ll have to buy that separately from the Tesla online store and get it installed by a sparky. Getting mine installed next week.

I don't think it would anywhere close to performance , but still have really good acceleration , literally aircraft take off experience which is really fun . I don't want more than this for the sake of keeping my license I think any faster than this would make me sick

Got mine installed back in February.

Agreed the performance was way more than I need, it was a blast though. The RWD is more than adequate for 99.9% of use cases.

I test drove a Model Y RWD on std wheels in Sydney at Chatswood, there's construction all around the Tesla showroom so rough roads and I felt the ride in the Model Y was firm but like a European car firm and not as bad as what the Youtube reviewers make it out to be. It's not a soft ride like a Japanese SUV but the firmness makes for better handling IMO. It's really quiet though as we could hear the charger rolling about in the back of the car

Yeah I was a bit concerned when I saw some journos it's unsettling ride but I don't really noticed anything like that, it's really sportier and super direct steering which I really like

In my experience, the RWD Y is slow off the line, but once your above 30km it flies right up to 100 in no time.

It comes with two plugs, a 10A for ordinary GPOs and a 15A for 15A GPOs which is the same but with a wider earth pin (this is what caravans use here but it's not a large 5-pin plug). You can buy larger industrial-style tails for the UMC too, including 5-pin ones.

Yeah saw those but went with the Taptes ones. Bjorn Nyland had some good things to say about them. I've already got the genuine boot and frunk mats,
