Description

The Tesla Model Y attempted to capitalize on the Model 3’s red-hot success, but the all-electric crossover is more fizzle than sizzle. Whereas the Model 3 nails its purpose with dance-like driving and remarkable range, the 2022 Model Y appears like a haphazard attempt to appeal to SUV buyers. Its handling is less engaging than the 3’s, and its cabin, while mostly carried over from the sedan, doesn’t do enough to differentiate itself, exacerbating our critique of both its fit-and-finish and the issues that the all-digital environment generates. It is not without worth, however. When compared to competitors such as the Ford Mustang Mach E and the Volkswagen ID.4, its estimated driving range is good, and the Long Range variant claims up to 330 miles per charge. Furthermore, the Tesla has an optional third row of seats, which is still uncommon in the world of EVs and SUVs.

---

Interior Features

Glass Roof

The expansive Glass Roof offers passengers a brighter, more spacious experience as well as a panoramic view of the sky. Even when the sun is directly overhead, infrared and ultraviolet rays are successfully prevented before entering the cabin, decreasing heat and glare.

Center Display

On the large 15-inch touchscreen, you can see everything, including high-definition side and rearview camera views, navigation, movies, music, games, and more. While driving, your surroundings are displayed in real-time to show speed limit signs, forthcoming traffic control signals, pedestrians, cyclists, and hazards in a 360-degree surround view.

All Vegan Interior

Our custom-engineered seating material is fully vegan and significantly more sustainable than traditional seating materials, maximising comfort and aesthetics while maintaining our rigorous standards for durability and stain resistance. It is softer than leather but far more durable and stain-resistant.

Up to Seven Seats

Model Y offers greatest adaptability, with the ability to transport 7 passengers and their luggage. Each rear seat folds flat individually, allowing for versatile storage of skis, furniture, baggage, and other items. The liftgate opens to reveal a low trunk floor, making loading and unloading simple and quick.

Advanced Climate Control

Airflow and temperature are totally controlled via the display, allowing for perfect control without ever seeing or touching a real vent. On warmer days, Cabin Overheat Protection keeps interiors cool, and our HEPA filtration technology provides the greatest cabin air quality available. Pre-conditioning immediately warms the cabin and prepares the car’s battery to maximize range and efficiency in cold conditions.

Gas Savings

Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel than gasoline-powered vehicles

Estimated gas savings over 6 years $7,800

Electric automobiles consume less fuel than gasoline-powered vehicles. The average person drives 10,000 to 15,000 miles each year and spends between $1,700 and $2,500 on gasoline. In comparison, the cost of powering Model Y over the same distance is up to four times lower. That equates to between $7,800 and $11,400 in gasoline savings during the usual six-year car ownership period.

We’ve assumed a comparable gasoline-powered automobile gets 25.0 miles per gallon. Over the following six years, we’ve also projected a national average of $0.14 per kilowatt-hour for domestic electricity (assuming 100% charging) and $4.18 per gallon for gasoline. Tesla efficiency figures are calculated using the Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive.

Gasoline comparison vehicles are chosen based on vehicle class, seating size, and standard amenities. Using each vehicle’s combined city/highway MPG and MPGe ratings, we compare efficiency data between our automobiles and a comparable gasoline alternative using the EPA estimated range criteria. The actual range may differ depending on factors such as speed, weather, and elevation change.

Model Y consumption rating = 28.0 kWh/100mi

Comparison car consumption rating = 25.0 mpg

Features

Basic Autopilot

Allows your vehicle to autonomously steer, accelerate, and brake for other vehicles and pedestrians in its lane. Advanced safety and convenience features, as well as driver assistance features like emergency braking, collision warning, and blind-spot monitoring, are designed to help you with the most difficult aspects of driving.

Easy Charging

Charge everywhere there is power. The Mobile Connector Bundle with a 110V household outlet can be utilised to top off the most used range for daily driving, or upgrade to a 220V Tesla Wall Connector for the ultimate home charging experience. Model Y can add up to 162 miles of range in just 15 minutes utilising Tesla’s Supercharger network, getting you back on the road faster.

Over-the-Air Updates

With periodic wireless software upgrades, Model Y improves with time, providing you additional features, more entertainment, improved performance and range, increased comfort, and even better safety.

Expansive Storage

The Model Y has 76 cubic feet of cargo space, which is available via both the front trunk and the rear trunk, which opens and closes automatically. Taking advantage of space previously occupied by cumbersome engines, petrol tanks, and gearboxes, the Model Y’s design allows for disproportionately large amounts of storage for a car its size while improving occupant safety through a more spacious, strengthened body and chassis.
