I drove the former and, while it isn’t quite the rollercoaster ride of the Performance, it’s still incredibly quick for what is, by all other metrics, a sensible and practical family car. Go for the Model Y Performance and the name is justified, with 60 mph dispatched in a supercar-bothering 3.5 seconds, while top speed is 155 mph. The slower and cheaper Long Range model has 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 135 mph. Both variants have a motor on each axle for all-wheel-drive, for that added performance.
Teslas have always been quick cars and the Model Y is no exception. The Model Y’s frunk is just over four cubic feet, which is comfortably more than the Ford Mustang Mach-E, and around double that of the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Many electric cars have a front trunk, or frunk, owing to their lack of engine, but Tesla is the best at maximizing that space for extra storage. But that is entirely subjective and I shan’t dwell on something that can’t be seen from behind the wheel. To my eyes it’s a bluff, fish-like face only Musk could love, with an awkwardly tall glasshouse and an overall aesthetic that feels too generic, conservative – and, frankly, boring – for a car as impressive as the Model Y.
There’s no mistaking the Tesla genes in the Model Y’s exterior design. We don’t know why, and neither did the Tesla representative we asked. versions of Model Y is a rear parcel shelf, so everything left in the trunk can be seen through the rear windshield. Five- and seven-seat interior options are available for the Model Y, with the latter costing an additional $3,000.Ĭuriously, the seven-seat version isn’t available in some markets, including the U.K. Only white and silver paint options are offered for free, with blue, black and red priced at $1,000, $1,500 and $2,000 respectively.
