In fact, when I posted my buddy Model Y photo in the circle of friends before, there were a lot of negative comments at the bottom, but it had nothing to do with ridiculing the brakes, and the most said messages were words such as "motion sickness" and "bumper cars". Convert it, which is about equal to poor comfort.
It can be said that the tonality of the Model Y is the same as that of the Model 3, and even the big brother Model X is the same - the chassis is hard and the noise control is poor. Therefore, for most people, the driving quality of the Model Y is indeed average, but I still want to break it open and elaborate.
It is obvious that the Tesla family is adjusting in the direction of sports. When driving the Model Y, you will feel that the integrity of the body is very strong, the chassis is very hard, you and the car are like a one, it seems not like an SUV but a performance steel cannon. This can be very unaccustomed to people who are used to driving (sitting) family cars. But for the old gunner who has driven many models (yes, me), there is nothing strange about it, just drive a Porsche.
The only difference from the performance car is that the Model Y has a high sitting position, which has a very strange feeling. Traditional SUVs you have to turn or cross bumpy roads, their tuning is bound to dissolve those stiff road feelings, coupled with a certain degree of side tilt, which is very in line with people's driving habits. Coupled with the high center of gravity of the traditional SUV, there will be a trace of "delay" in the control, and people have become accustomed to this state when driving an SUV.
The Model Y integrity is too strong, the center of gravity is low, when cornering or crossing bumpy roads, the human body is almost following the body up and down to sway left and right, which is very uncomfortable for people who are accustomed to the traditional driving experience, the brain feels wrong, so it is motion sickness. Especially when you are playing with your phone and do not notice the road conditions, the feeling of motion sickness will be even stronger! Of course, the above is purely my personal reasonable conjecture.
But if you're a driver, hey hey, Tesla will make you fall in love with this tone, because as an SUV, the Model Y's handling is really great, except... It has no sound waves...
However, a little bit of crotch pull is the Model Y's steering system. Perhaps in order to highlight its athletic properties, the Model Y's steering feel is too heavy, which is not used to most people today, and when its speed is low to high, the directional damping change is not linear (of course, people may not care at all).
Oh yes, there is another point worth emphasizing, which should be brought out by Tesla, and now many electric vehicles are also learning one thing - single-pedal logic. What does that mean? Have you found that most electric vehicles now, you step deep on the electric door, it is acceleration, light step on it is sliding, do not step on is to slow down (kinetic energy recovery), I do not say, many people may not know, are spitting out how the tram is driving like this. Single-pedal logic actually violates inherent logic and takes a certain amount of time to adapt.
The most common phenomenon for beginners is that the car will rush when driving, just like when they first learned manual gear. If there is a person sitting next to him, then he is even more dizzy! In addition, the Model Y's kinetic energy recovery force adjustment was canceled, in the default mode, the kinetic energy recovery force is still large, in order to make her / he around her will not even sit in the car unstable, the next foot must have a measure Ah (nothing else, is tired feet)!
Tesla also has a problem, the sound insulation is really general.
Even if the Model Y uses a series of sound insulation and noise reduction measures such as double-layer laminated glass, it will not help. You can clearly feel the noise on the road is very strong, the noise is transmitted to the carriage and then ejected from each other to reflect diffraction, a noisy mess. Maybe this is the sacrifice made for the "forced" of frameless doors.
I personally still like this sense of man-car integration, if the Model Y steering system can be optimized a little more, sound insulation a little better.
After talking about the driving sense, let's talk about the appearance of the Model Y.
It is undeniable that the Model 3 and Model Y are too similar, just the mall has been showing, took a photo to observe for a while, found that the Model Y is really only a little "thicker" than the 3.
Just from that point of view, well, it's kind of interesting. But how to say it, although Tesla led the trend of electric vehicles, but Tesla's appearance is placed in today's, well, we can only say that it is decent.
Tesla's interior is really simple, it can be said that "there is no interior". This minimalist style, luxury is certainly not to talk about, but it can give people a sense of warmth. In addition, don't look at the interior is simple, the material is used a little unambiguously, as far as the eye can see, where the fingers touch, the details can not be simple at all.
When it comes to interior space, thanks to the positioning of the SUV, it is a little better than the Model 3, but in order to get enough rear head space, the thickness of the seat is thin.
tail:
To say something, in fact, since the model Y was listed last year, the lowest price of 270,000 has sniped at many traditional and new energy brands. The brand effect is there, the price is also very transparent, the space is larger than the Model 3, and the visibility on the road is getting higher and higher, which is enough to see the success of the Model Y.
However, Tesla's proud AutoPilot driver assistance model, most people dare not use, after all, there are so many lessons from the past, not to mention that it is still in China, which has a large population and more complex road conditions.
The trend-leading big screen looks very delicate and is indeed inconvenient to operate. Even the speedometer, you have to tilt your head to look at the big screen, which is very troublesome for many "different speed limits on the same road" environment in China. Tesla's voice recognition is not very good, my buddy said that it may be that he does not communicate very well, anyway, most of the situations of this car machine are not understood, the most used sentence is: open the glove box! As for why use this command, because the glove box can only be opened with voice control (or tapping the screen), it has no physical switch!
As a tram, Tesla's charging efficiency can be used as a benchmark, and the layout of charging piles is also very fast. Bailian in front of my house, the surface parking lot that I had been parking, has now not been allowed to stop, only Tesla can stop. It sounds sad, but it is really good news for Tesla owners.
Finally, tesla Y's double flashing lights are in the position of the roof lights, I checked the information to know, my buddies have not used it yet.
