Gail’s Tesla Podcast on 𝕏 Episode No. 115: New Tesla Model Y 2025 Review: Why I Rate It 10 Stars

Watch This Tesla Model Y Conquer the Road with FSD!

In episode 115 of my podcast, I dive into the freshly redesigned Tesla Model Y 2025 Launch Series—a car so impressive it earns a perfect 10 stars from me!

I got a rare chance to test drive and film this beauty, inside and out, showcasing why it’s a must-try for Tesla owners. From its jaw-dropping Full Self-Driving (FSD) performance to clever features like the frunk drain plug and emergency door release, this Model Y conquers the road like no other. Watch the full episode exclusively on X [here] and see why I’m urging everyone to activate FSD!

Standout Features That Wow: Emergency Release, Frunk, and More

Right out of the gate (00:12), I highlight the emergency door release—smartly tucked in the back door pocket for safety. Then at 00:18, there’s the frunk drain plug—a game-changer for party planners using ice that needs to drain. The Launch Series screen graphic (00:30) dazzles with its crisp visualization, while the “door thunk” (00:38 and 03:27) proves this car’s build quality with that satisfying, solid sound. Steering wheel control buttons and stalks (00:59) make driving intuitive, and the camera views (01:29) pop onto the screen effortlessly. Oh, and the automatic parking feature (01:47)? It’s like the car’s showing off—it nails tight spots with zero stress.

FSD Steals the Show: Why I Say Always Use It

At 02:46, I explain why FSD is non-negotiable for Model Y owners. During my West Austin test drive, this car tackled tricky roads autonomously—think sharp turns and busy traffic—flawlessly. The middle console (02:08) and spacious interior (02:20) make every ride comfy, but it’s FSD that elevates it to 10-star territory. Whether it’s self-parking or navigating safely, I’ve never felt more confident behind the wheel—or rather, letting the car take it. Tesla owners, if you’ve got FSD and aren’t using it, episode 115 will change your mind. Activate it and feel the magic.

Stunning Design and Final Thoughts

The exterior shines too—those sleek rear lights (04:10) and Launch Series puddle lights (05:23) scream premium. The trunk’s open/close function (04:33) is smooth, and seat belts (05:03) pull just right. At 03:38, I share more thoughts: this Model Y doesn’t just drive; it redefines driving. It’s packed with upgrades—same price as the old Model Y—yet feels like a steal. Watch episode 115 on X [here] to see this amazing car in action. For media and credits, stick around ‘til 05:42. Tesla had built a road-conquering masterpiece!
