What movement the body is permitted is generally taken up quickly before it meets a wall of resistance. This is an effective way of ensuring the car changes direction quickly and it will allow you to put the Model Y down a tortuous road without much hassle, but it isn’t at all natural in feel. Our RWD test car had a neat enough balance and when pushed slightly out of its comfort zone on track was impressively resistant to understeer and gripped well, remaining on its line. The new Model Y plays a strong hand here, and is notably hushed at speed with little in the way of wind noise and road roar (especially on the smaller wheel). The lane keeping assistance is quite mild, and we suspect the overspeed warning just wasn’t working on the test car.
