This is a Motormouth couple car review of the Tesla Model Y electric SUV. Tesla continues to dominate the electric car market! The Model Y is now the most popular electric vehicle in the US and its popularity continues to grow around the world. Let us know if you have any questions for us, leave them below, we’ll pick some of them to answer in our review. There are two Model Y models, the Long Range with 384 horsepower and 531 km/318 miles of EV range. It goes 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds/0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds. It comes with standard 19” wheels, optional 20” wheels, which our test model has and up to 7-passenger seating. The second option is the Performance model with 450 horsepower and 488 km/303 miles of EV range. It goes 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds/0-60 mph 3.5 seconds. It comes standard with 21” wheels with up to 5-passenger seating. This model has performance brakes, a lowered suspension and aluminum alloy pedals. With standard AWD, the Model Y has two independent electric motors that control torque to the front and rear wheels for better handling, traction and stability control. Tesla clearly has the charging infrastructure in place with 3,000+ Supercharger stations and 30,000+ Superchargers around the world with 6 new locations opening up every week. Tesla says you can recharge up to 261 km in 15 minutes at Supercharger locations. The Model Y can tow 3500 pounds and Tesla offers a warranty of 4 years or 80,000 km/50,000 miles. The battery and drive unit is 8 years or 192,000 km/120,000 miles. This Tesla provides a lot of versatility whether you go with the 5 or 7-seater model. The interior is clean, simple and clutter-free with a beautiful glass roof that creates an open cabin. You’ll notice there is no head-up display or gauge cluster keeping with the minimalistic design.
The technology is amazing, the touchscreen controls everything, there are no buttons or knobs to play with, but the good news is it’s intuitive to use. Not only is it fast but responsive and the graphics are clear. It comes with two wireless chargers that are quick, the fastest I’ve used in a vehicle. To initiate a voice command in the Model Y, hit the button to the right of the steering wheel to open the glove box, the tailgate, heat your seats or steering wheel. There’s also Netflix and KZfaq if you want to watch shows/Motormouth reviews while your vehicle is charging. The front seats are comfortable and supportive and the elevated seating position and low dash gives the driver a great view of the road ahead. The second row is spacious with a flat floor and each second row seat folds flat independently creating great storage space if you need to move larger items or even carry skis. We managed to fit a car seat in the middle seat without an issue. The 3rd row is tiny and best used in a pinch for small children. The Tesla Model Y has a small front trunk and a larger rear cargo area. There’s also additional storage underneath the cargo floor, my carry-on suitcase fit perfectly and gave me more room to store other items. Space management in the Model Y is excellent.
