Overview

For the 2023 model year, Tesla has made some changes to the Model Y trim lineup, adding a cheaper Base trim. The Base trim retains the dual motor setup. However, its range is less at 269–279 miles. The remaining 2023 Tesla Model Y specs remain unchanged, as do the Long Range and Performance trims. With a starting price of $47,490, the Tesla Model Y 2023 price is competitive. 

The Tesla Model Y Performance 0–60 time of 3.5 seconds and the Model Y's range of up to 330 miles (Long Range) make it stand out in the segment. The Base and the Long Range trims have a top speed of 135 mph, while the Performance trim tops out at 155 mph. Rivals such as the Audi e-Tron, Mustang Mach-e, and Jaguar I-Pace are among the top favorites in the market. As per the video by EV News Network, the 2023 Model Y is one of the best-value cars.
