TESLA MODEL Y VS TESLA MODEL 3

EV Channels Review

The reviewer, a long-term Tesla Model 3 owner, compares it to the new Model Y, questioning if the £5,000 premium is justified. While acknowledging the Model Y's increased practicality, particularly its significantly larger and more accessible boot, the reviewer finds the driving experience and interior largely identical to the Model 3. Key advantages of the Model Y highlighted are its higher driving position, easier ingress/egress, and a more practical cargo area. However, the reviewer notes it's less efficient and potentially less aesthetically pleasing than the Model 3, which they personally prefer. The lack of a standard parcel shelf in the boot is a notable drawback, raising security concerns. Despite these points, the reviewer concludes that the Model Y is a "step up" and the "best electric SUV on sale," primarily due to Tesla's superior Supercharger network, which eliminates range anxiety. For those who don't specifically need the extra practicality, the Model 3 remains a fantastic option, but if choosing between the two for a company car or as an upgrade, the Model Y is likely the better, albeit more expensive, choice.
