Tesla Model Y (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent range and rapid charging	Would really benefit from a head-up display
Lots of standard kit	Firm ride
Roomy and practical	Interior quality not at BMW or Mercedes levels

Quick Summary

The Tesla Model Y (2022-present) is an electric, mid-sized family SUV, primarily offered with five seats. It boasts impressive range figures, with the RWD starting at 311 miles (WLTP) and the Long Range RWD achieving 387 miles. Based on the Model 3, it offers enhanced practicality with a surprisingly large boot and an enormous frunk. A 2025 facelift introduced a new look, upgraded interior materials, tweaked suspension for improved ride comfort, and better efficiency, making it a well-equipped and spacious option in its segment.

Driving the Model Y is a thrilling experience thanks to its rapid acceleration and grippy, neutral handling, especially in AWD variants. While the ride can still be firm, the 2025 update significantly improved damping. It features a highly advanced, large central touchscreen controlling most functions, intuitive navigation, and sophisticated semi-autonomous driving capabilities as standard. Running costs are low due to its efficiency and access to Tesla's affordable Supercharger network, making it a competitively priced and high-value long-range electric SUV.

Best for: Drivers seeking a spacious, technologically advanced, and efficient electric family SUV with rapid charging and access to the Supercharger network, or buyers looking for competitive pricing and strong residual values.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a head-up display, a premium interior finish (like BMW or Mercedes), or a softer, less firm ride.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tesla Model Y if: You're seeking a spacious, technologically advanced, and efficient electric family SUV with rapid charging and access to the Supercharger network, or looking for competitive pricing and strong residual values.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a head-up display, a premium interior finish (like BMW or Mercedes), or a softer, less firm ride.

Competitive Position: The Tesla Model Y is a formidable contender in the electric family SUV segment, offering a compelling blend of space, technology, and driving confidence. Its competitive pricing, strong residual values, and access to the efficient Supercharger network make it an excellent choice for long-distance electric travel. While the 2025 facelift brought welcome improvements to ride comfort and interior finish, rivals like the BMW iX3 may offer a more luxurious cabin or dynamic drive. Nonetheless, the Model Y remains one of the most comprehensive and attractive pure electric family SUVs available.
