WATCH: Jay Leno Runs The Tesla Model Y Through The Paces

Devoted automotive enthusiast and outspoken Tesla fan Jay Leno got his hands on the Model Y Performance, the electric automaker’s newest crossover. Leno, a retired late-night talk show host, has had a long history of dealing with some of the world’s most impressive and famous cars. From a man whose car collection is worth an estimated $52 million, Leno has seen it all, which makes him an ideal candidate to give an honest and legitimate review of the Model Y.

Leno has a storied history with Tesla vehicles. After coming into contact with the first-ever production model of the Tesla Roadster in 2008, which Elon Musk delivered himself, Leno has owned a 2012 Model S and has also gotten firsthand looks at the Cybertruck and the Next-Gen Roadster.

He sounds like he's slowing down a bit mentally.

Yes it does sound like he is slowing down. Only 70 years old, hope he is OK.

He has more cars than all the readers here combined, think his comments have some weight. I liked his comment about horses. We have more horses in the US today than at any point when they were used for transportation. ICE cars are not going away, many people will drive them for fun on the weekend the same way people ride horses today. It's not for transportation, but for the experience. EVs are the future and the Y is the most compelling one so far. Mach-E should give it some nice competition soon as well.
