It is intended to help viewers decide which of the two models suits them best. 01:59 Tesla Model 3 The Tesla Model 3 is described as the world's best-selling electric sedan, highlighting its history and evolution since its launch in 2017. Its features, current prices, energy efficiency, and the changes introduced in the latest restyling, which improved its design and adjustments, are mentioned. 06:34 Tesla Model Y The Tesla Model Y is presented as the best-selling electric car worldwide, highlighting its competitive price, SUV features, ease of entry and exit, and differences with the Model 3, such as wheel size and engine and battery configuration. 11:06 Autonomy and Consumption A test of autonomy and consumption is carried out between both models, traveling on different types of road. It is observed that the Model 3 has lower energy consumption compared to the Model Y, due to its aerodynamics and lower weight, confirming that the Model 3 is more efficient. 16:58 Recharging The recharging experiences of both vehicles are described, indicating recharging times from 30% to 80% of the battery. It is highlighted that the Model 3, being more efficient, needs less time to fully recharge compared to the Model Y. 18:40 Exteriors The trunks of both vehicles are compared, pointing out that the Model Y offers greater loading capacity due to its SUV design. The advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed in terms of space and accessibility, considering situations such as low garages and narrow spaces. 24:10 Interiors The interior of the Model Y is described as comfortable and spacious, with a 15-inch central screen for all operations. The glass roof and vegan leather seats are mentioned, highlighting the difference in ventilation compared to the Model 3, which has ventilated and perforated seats. 29:51 Acceleration and Braking Acceleration and braking tests are performed for both models. The lighter Model 3 shows better acceleration and braking performance compared to the Model Y. Still, the Model Y proves competent, braking in similar distances due to its better tires. 34:53 Model Y Dynamic Test The driving dynamics of the Model Y on a curvy road are analyzed, highlighting its stability and control despite its larger size and weight. It is mentioned that the vehicle offers a good driving experience, with a balanced suspension and precise steering. 43:18 Model 3 Dynamic Test The dynamic test of the Model 3 highlights its better maneuverability and lower effort in curves thanks to its lower weight. The sporty feel of the vehicle and its ability to maintain its trajectory in tight curves are highlighted, providing a more agile and precise driving experience. 48:40 Conclusion In conclusion, the advantages and disadvantages of both models are summarized. It is emphasized that the Model 3 is more efficient and aerodynamic, while the Model Y offers greater space and practicality. Viewers are invited to comment on their preferences and Javier Costas is thanked for his collaboration in the video.
