Big thanks to Brad Amborski for letting me check out his Model Y! Check out his channel here:    / @bradamborski  

This is the Model Y Dual Motor long range with the 20” induction wheels, black paint, white interior, and 5 seat setup. This setup gets around 326 miles of EPA estimated range.

So right off the bat, the obvious difference one is just overall size. The Model Y is a much bigger car. Compared to the Model 3 It’s 2” longer, 3” wider, and a full 7” taller.

Which means I can actually sit pretty comfortably in the back seat. I’m 6’4” and its usually a tight fit in the back seat of my 3, but I’ve got some room to spare in the Model Y. My head is about 2-3” from the glass roof - which doesn’t have the center pillar like the Model 3 - and I’ve actually got some leg room without butting up against the back seat.

The trunk is already pretty big, and opens like a normal SUV so you can fit larger items in here, and the seats do fold down somewhat automatically. You push this button and hear an electronic release that drops the seats down.

When you fold the seats down, you can really see just how much more room the Model Y has - specs show it has 68 cubic feet of storage, compared to 43 in the Model 3. And this is making me wish I had a Model Y when I camped in my car a few months ago. That smaller trunk opening really confines things in the Model 3.

To put the seats back up, you do have to do that manually, and you can actually recline these back seats a bit which is interesting by pressing in on the manual release and pushing it back slightly.

But besides the size, just about everything is the same on the interior - same screen, same steering wheel, same center console. The front seats are the same too, but they are lifted up a bit on these platforms so you do sit up higher.

So my advice here, if you are deciding between the two - I personally think you can’t go wrong with either, but it depends on your lifestyle and what you want to do with the car.

For me, I decided on the Model 3 because it was cheaper, I like having a smaller, sportier, car, and most of the time I am the only one in the car, so interior space isn’t a huge deal. That being said, the cargo space in the Model 3 has impressed me a lot. We’ve fit huge boxes from IKEA in here, and we’ve fit 4 people in here with all of their luggage when traveling for the holidays last year, but it was a tight fit.

The Model Y’s main advantage is the cargo space. If you are someone that is driving passengers around a lot, I think that added space is a must. It really is a do-it-all car. You can fit 5 passengers in here pretty comfortably, and folding the back seats allows you to fit just about anything you’re going to pick up in day to day shopping. And it even has the option for a tow hitch, so if you do want to haul around even larger items, that capability is there.

Overall I was really impressed, and I think the Model Y is a great car. Tesla has stuck with what works on the Model 3 and added the extra space many customers were looking for. And if that is something you are looking for, then I definitely recommend it.
