In the meantime, check out our Tesla Model 3 video review here or head over to our Tesla leasing deals page for more great offers. We’re sure the driving experience will be very similar too – which is to say “very good” – but we’ll let you know once we’ve tested it. The Model Y really does just take a Model 3 and make it a lot more practical, making it a much better family car for a quite reasonable outlay.
2022 TESLA MODEL Y STANDARD RANGE DRIVER
Track Mode changes the handling characteristics for a sportier drive, improves the post-drive cooling, and gives the driver an on-board lap timer through the central touchscreen. Unlike the Model 3, though, the Model Y doesn’t get a Track Mode with the Performance upgrade.
2022 TESLA MODEL Y STANDARD RANGE UPGRADE
Upgrade to a Model Y Performance and the wheels go to 21-inches (up an inch on the Model 3 Performance to fill those big wheel arches), the suspension is lowered, the brakes are beefed up and the top speed is raised from 135mph to 155mph. Unsurprisingly the Model 3 and Model Y are almost identically equipped, with every car getting Tesla’s focal piece 15-inch media screen, twin wireless phone chargers, two-zone climate control, heated & power adjustable front seats and a panoramic glass roof. About half a second slower in both cases. It’s still utterly rapid though, with the Long Range model taking 4.8 seconds to hit the benchmark, and the Performance model just 3.5. So, roughly 40-50 miles difference.Īcceleration is similarly affected, with the Model Y not quite able to post as impressive 0-62mph times as the smaller car. The Long Range Model Y offers a 315-mile claimed WLTP range (compared to 360 in the equivalent Model 3), while the Model Y Performance claims 298 miles, compared to 340 in the 3.
In the meantime, both versions of the Y offer impressive battery range – albeit a little lower than in an equivalent 3 because the Y is bigger, heavier and less aerodynamic. How Do Performance & Range Compare?Īgain, no Standard Range version of the Y yet but it’ll probably happen at some stage. Ultimately, the fatter body of the Y makes for a very spacious car for 5. The wheelbase of both cars is the same, so you’re not getting any more rear legroom in the Y but that’s no big deal because the 3 has a relatively long space between the axles anyways. There’s a 7-seat version of the Y available in the US, but it’s not available here in the UK yet.
Tesla is offering the new Model Y Standard Range AWD starting at 60,990.
The front luggage space is bigger than the 3’s too, at 117 litres, and so when you drop the seats and add up all the space you’re getting a whopping 2100 litres. He notes that there are some from as early as the beginning of April 2022. In pure volume terms you’re looking at a boot twice the size: 854 litres compared to 425. Range King: 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition Range: 500 Miles Real-world Highway Range: 500 miles EPA-estimated Range: 520 miles Difference: -4.0 When we set out to range test the Lucid. That 5 grand or so is really paying for the added practicality that the Model Y brings, because not only is it taller, which means improved headroom, it also has a much bigger boot that’s accessed via a larger hatchback.
