Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 6:45Optional connectivity and assisted-driving packages add separate monthly subscription costs.
  2. 8:51The second row slides and reclines, with a rear touchscreen for passengers.
  3. 14:10Built-in navigation plans charging stops, but the system does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
  4. 17:15Trips to Oxford and Thorpe Park provide real-world efficiency tests with different passenger loads.
  5. 20:12Nick discovers the tyres are underinflated and stops to bring them to the recommended pressure.
  6. 29:47His drawbacks include firm suspension, missing physical controls and UK road-tax surcharges.

Nick O'Leary takes the Model Y beyond the showroom checklist, loading it with passengers for trips to Oxford and Thorpe Park and checking what the journeys do to its range. There is a service-station detour too, after he discovers the tyres need more air.

"Living with a Tesla Model Y for a WEEK! | FULL REVIEW!" drew about 39,000 views, making it the most-watched of his two new uploads. The seven-seat layout supplies a practical talking point, though Nick describes the rearmost seats as mainly for children rather than adults. Viewers ask for a closer look at that space, discuss the optional subscriptions and suggest an accessories guide covering everything from floor mats to a fridge.

Tesla provided the test car. Nick says manufacturers neither pay for his videos nor get to approve them before publication; he also makes clear that his own daily car is a Model 3. His verdict balances generous storage and easy charging integration against a firm ride and a cabin that strips away physical controls. For his CarPlay-watching audience, there is a familiar omission: neither Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto is supported.

"I DROVE the NEW BMW i3 2027 | First Impressions" had reached roughly 22,000 views within its opening day and currently has the strongest daily momentum. The older Mercedes Park Assist tutorial is also finding viewers, extending the week's electric-car theme into hands-on ownership help.

Subscribers were unchanged over the week, while weekly views ran below the channel's usual daily pace. Among nearby motoring channels, Lucid Car Photography had a particularly large viewing week. Nick's mix remains distinctly practical: a new BMW to try, a Tesla to live with, and a Mercedes to help park.

What viewers say

  • Well done. Great to see a video ( and videos going forward) talking about subscription details. Thank you Nick!👍
  • Would like to see you do a video on which accessories you recommend. Floor mats, fridge, sun shade etc.

  • Great review as always Nick, but the main reason I clicked was to see the 6 + 7 seats at the very back. I appreciate its not for adults, but just to see how kids would fit.

  • to be fair the door sound on the new tesla’s is pretty good, u have to keep in mind that tesla’s have frameless windows (wich no one mentions when comparing the sound with cars without frameless windows) and for thats its pretty solid.

  • I was a bit surprised when you said its competitors are the GLC and iX3. I would say it is rather the GLB and iX1/2 in terms of pricing and thats where I think the Model Y stands out. The fact that its specs are comparable with other high end models. Going to collect my GLB 250+ electric this Monday!

  • Nick. Love your video (as usual). FYI I have been collecting data on efficiency as a function of temperature for my M3 for last 2 years. It’s sad I know but I like data. Your efficiency test was at about 10 degrees C. My data shows that, for similar journey types, the efficiency increases by 25% to 30% from 10 C to 20C.

  • Tyre pressure monitor should have flagged the lack of pressure in the tyres

  • Can you make a comparison video between the Volvo EX60 and the model y?
  • Thoughts on a rwd premium or a 2025 530e PHEV estate? Same money
