It's cheaper than a Model X and not much bigger than a Model 3, despite being much more practical The Model Y could well be the most complete Tesla yet. The top-end Performance version can get from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 150mph. That said, most of the time you’ll want to do the driving – if only to experience the Tesla’s ludicrous acceleration. It means the Model Y will be able to drive out of its parking space and meet you, autonomously. Summon Mode is by far the cleverest feature, though. That’s done using the Tesla app, which also allows you to heat and cool the car before you get in it, track the car’s location and even limit its top speed. Instead of using a key, you access the Tesla using your phone and you can send electronic keys to friends and family for car sharing. It takes a bit of getting used to, but is one of the best screens on the market in terms of graphics and response. The screen is in a landscape style (rather than portrait), is 15 inches in size and used to control almost all the car’s systems – even the door mirrors. Like every other Tesla including the Model 3, the Model Y has a giant infotainment screen dominating the dashboard, and very little in the way of physical switchgear.

It also offers a huge 1,869-litre load bay with the rear seats down, which is more than you get even in the roomy Skoda Enyaq. Still, those in the rear get more head and legroom than in a Model 3, and all the seats are raised up to give a better view out. The Model Y was first shown as a seven-seat model directly rivalling the EQB, but it’s only sold as a five-seater for the time being – Tesla won’t say if or when three-row models will go on sale. The extra size means, unsurprisingly, extra space. It’s longer and ever so slightly wider, but noticeably (more than 15cm) taller, meaning it looks more like a shrunken Model X. The Tesla Model Y is an electric SUV that is a cutting-edge alternative to models such as the BMW iX3, Audi Q4 e-tron and Mercedes EQB.īased on the hugely popular Model 3, it’s a bit like if someone uploaded a picture of a Model 3 into Photoshop and started stretching its proportions.
