First Drive in My Tesla Model Y Standard + First FSD Test

Watch on YouTube · 5:29 · 2026-10-02

I finally got a chance to take my new 2026 Tesla Model Y Standard RWD out for a short drive and activate FSD for the first time. In this video I share my first driving impressions, how the Model Y Standard feels on the road, and what it was like trying Tesla Full Self-Driving for the first time in a real-world setting. This is not my full long-term review yet.
