Tesla Model Y real world review EV road trip - the good, bad and ugly

Video Description

1500 mile real world road trip in a Tesla Model Y - the most practical EV in Europe? The ultimate electric SUV? The news about continued rises of fuel costs is grim, but hopefully it will act as a catalyst for increasing renewable energy adoption. Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show. Subscribed yet? With that in mind, Jonny spent last week driving to, from and around Scotland and the North West, filming content… in an EV. Specifically the £55,000 331-mile range Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD. Instead of a brief launch drive, we thought it was about time Jonny got to know the UK spec Model Y and do a bit of real-world long distance travel in one. Tesla tried to lend us one, but couldn't manage the time frame we needed. Step in ‘R Symons EV’ specialists, whom we must namecheck (www.rsymons.co.uk / https://www.youtube.com/c/RSymonsLtd) because owner Richard immediately offered to lend Jonny his two week old Tesla Y and load miles onto it. Good chap.
