IS THE WORLD’S BEST-SELLING EV GOOD ENOUGH? TESLA MODEL Y LONG RANGE AWD 2025 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD, the world's best-selling EV, is reviewed as a competent but flawed package, especially considering its premium price point. While its immense practicality, particularly the cavernous boot and frunk, along with its strong performance and the convenience of the Tesla Supercharger network, are significant advantages, the interior materials and climate control system are major drawbacks. The reviewer criticizes the "clammy" vinyl seats, "junk" faux wood trim, and an air conditioning system that struggles to cope in hot weather, issues that are expected to be addressed in the upcoming 2025 update. The steering is noted as being very sharp, which can be agile but potentially too nervous at higher speeds. Despite these criticisms, the Model Y offers exceptional value for money due to its space and performance, though the reviewer suggests waiting for the 2025 facelift or considering competitors with superior interiors if immediate purchase is desired.
