Overview

Belonging to the compact electric SUV segment, the 2024 Tesla Model Y Submodel carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. Expected to start at an MSRP of $55,000, Tesla offers you 2 trims for the Tesla Model Y. For the price, it competes with the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Genesis GV60, and the Audi Q4 e-tron. Not all trims are built equal though, as with 2 powertrain options available, the choice between trims gets a little more exciting. The base trim offers you a dual-motor setup. This gives you a power output of 384 horsepower, capable of achieving a 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds from a dual motor setup. With this, you get a 67.6 kWH battery rated for 330 miles of range. The second powertrain here is a tri-motor setup rated for 456 horsepower. It manages a 0-60 of 3.5 seconds. The battery here is the same 67.6 kWh battery, getting a range of 303 miles. If these were not enough choices for you, the 5 equally attractive colors are bound to make your decision a little more confusing.

 

Buying Advice

The Long Range is the most popular EV model among consumers. It moves along quickly and has a commendable 330-mile driving range. Unless you want performance, the Long range is sufficient for your everyday drive to work. Feature-wise, both models come with the same set of comfort features including a Panoramic glass roof, Dual-zone automatic climate control, Simulated leather upholstery, Power-adjustable front seats, Heated front and rear seats, and many other Uber comforts.
