I bought a Model Y Tesla ! 2026

Here is my honest and transparent review of my brand new 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive (the 'Juniper' refreshed model)!

I take you through the exciting pickup experience at the massive Tesla Longbridge, Birmingham site, before hitting the road for my first drive to Nottingham.

A few weeks later, I dive deep into the new features and the real-world experience, comparing it to my previous 2021 Model 3.

🚀 The Performance Upgrade (Boost Pack):
I spent £1,500 for the official Tesla performance boost pack, which claims to drop the 0-60 mph time from 4.8 seconds to a brutal 4.2 seconds (and increases the horsepower from 384hp to 450hp). You have to see the acceleration test! It is lightning fast for an SUV.

Key Features of the 2025 Model Y Covered:

Initial reaction to the sleek new look (front/rear light bars).

The quieter ride thanks to improved suspension and double glazing.

The smoother, more comfortable driving experience.

The new automatic gear selection and improved indicators.

Testing the Auto Park feature in a real-world setting.

The rear infotainment screen (a must-have for the kids!).

My thoughts on FSD (Full Self-Driving) capability in the UK/Europe.

Why the excellent Supercharger network and over-the-air updates keep me loyal to Tesla.

Is the new Model Y refresh enough to fight off rivals like BYD? Watch to find out!
