The Tesla Model Y is one of the UK's best-selling new cars, but does it make an even better used buy? Let's find out 👇
by coincidence. You see, a plethora of parts are shared between the two cars. Essentially, you can think of the Model Y as a Model 3 that's been pumped full of growth hormone to give it a higher driving position, more room inside and some SUV style. While undoubtedly quick, the rest of the driving experience leaves a few things to be desired. For a start, comfort isn't its strong suit, because the ride is quite busy, often jostling you around in your seat over uneven patches of road.
On the plus side, all Model Ys come with front and rear parking sensors, plus there are multiple cameras around the car to help with manoeuvring. LED headlights are also standard from new, as is cruise control, adaptive cruise control, faux-leather seats , an electric tailgate and keyless entry via an app on your smartphone.
The Model Y has the same 15.0in touchscreen infotainment system as the Model 3. The operating system is fairly intuitive, and while some of the smaller icons can be distracting to hit accurately while you’re driving, the system is responsive once you’ve made your selection. There are loads of useful features , welcome additions and some purely fun applications . You also get two easily accessible wireless phone-charging mats located below the infotainment screen and USB-C ports for rapid device charging in the large, covered centre console storage bin.
The hatchback tailgate makes the Model Y a much more practical option than the Model 3. Fitting a big buggy inside is no problem at all, and all versions have an electric tailgate that can be opened and closed using the touchscreen, from the Tesla app on your phone or by pressing a button on the boot lid.
