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 known for its impressive practicality, offering ample space for passengers and cargo, including a large boot and frunk. The 2025 facelift enhanced its appeal with a refreshed design, upgraded interior, and improved ride comfort, addressing previous criticisms. It delivers strong performance with brutal acceleration and direct steering, making it an enjoyable drive, further supported by excellent range and rapid charging capabilities, leveraging Tesla's efficient Supercharger network.

The Model Y comes very well equipped as standard, featuring advanced semi-autonomous driving technology and a comprehensive, intuitive central touchscreen. Running costs are notably low due to its efficiency and competitive charging rates. While it may not match premium rivals for interior finish or offer Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, its competitive pricing, strong value retention, and comprehensive package make it a top contender in the pure electric family SUV segment.

Best for: Families needing a spacious and practical electric SUV, drivers seeking strong performance and long electric range, buyers who value advanced technology and low running costs, and those who want a car with access to a reliable rapid charging network.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising a luxurious interior finish on par with BMW or Mercedes, those who prefer physical buttons over a touchscreen for all controls, drivers who find a firm ride uncomfortable, or those who require Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tesla Model Y if: You're a family needing a spacious and practical electric SUV, you value strong performance, long range, advanced technology, and low running costs, especially with access to the Supercharger network.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a more luxurious interior finish, prefer physical controls over a central touchscreen, find a firm ride uncomfortable, or require Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

Competitive Position: The Tesla Model Y is a brilliant electric family car, offering exceptional space, confident driving dynamics, and a wealth of technology. Its competitive pricing, strong value retention, and access to the efficient Supercharger network make it a compelling choice. While rivals like the BMW iX3 might offer a classier finish and the Skoda Enyaq provides strong competition in range, the Model Y remains one of the most comprehensive pure electric family SUVs available, especially after its 2025 update.
