Long Range versions start at $62,190 (including a $1,200 destination charge) and Performance models start at $65,190. The deletion of the standard range models has driven up the base price significantly. The Full Self-Driving suite is offered as well, but it still feels like a misnomer given that it doesn’t allow for actual self-driving. Superlative crash-test ratings complement standard safety features such as adaptive cruise control via AutoPilot, blind-spot monitors, and active lane control. But the Performance is much quicker, sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds versus 4.8 seconds in the Long Range. The interior maintains its ultra-minimalist layout that eschews conventional switches and buttons: practically all of the vehicle functions are controlled via the center-mounted 15.0-inch touchscreen.īoth models come with dual-motor all-wheel drive and 326 miles of range for the Long Range and 303 miles for the Performance. The Model Y offers superior cargo and passenger volume compared to the Model 3 sedan on which it is based, and its bubbly greenhouse offers a roomier feeling to go along with more vertical space for cargo. The Model Y added variants last year, but for 2022 it does the opposite and strips away the standard range models to leave only the Long Range and Performance versions (for now).

With impressive performance, crash tests, and infotainment, the Model Y presents a comprehensive package that’s only held back by subpar build quality and a “Full Self-Driving” package that is nothing of the sort. The Model Y is a compact electric SUV that seats up to seven passengers and offers over 300 miles of range, placing it ahead of competitors such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Volkswagen ID.4.
