Tesla Model Y

Current Model

This electric SUV is based on the Model 3. It's quick and agile, and doesn't consume a drop of gas.

It also has the same distracting control layout and a similarly stiff ride. The AWD Long Range version has an EPA-estimated 326-mile range. Charging from almost empty takes 10 hours on a 240-volt connector, but it is quicker with Tesla's wall charger. The Model Y is taller and roomier than the Model 3. As such, rear-seat room is much better and the hatchback layout provides more versatility. Both five- and seven-passenger seating configurations are available. FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection are standard. There is no proper BSW; instead, images of nearby cars are displayed on the center screen.
