EV Channels Review

This comprehensive guide to the Tesla Model Y in Australia, as of June 2022, thoroughly breaks down the two available variants: the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and the Performance All-Wheel Drive. The reviewer highlights key differences in battery size (60 kWh RWD vs. 76 kWh Performance), range (455 km WLTP RWD vs. 514 km WLTP Performance), acceleration, and powertrain. Real-world range figures are provided, showing a slight decrease from WLTP, particularly at highway speeds. Charging capabilities and access to the Tesla Supercharging network are emphasized as significant advantages. The interior, sharing 95% of components with the Model 3, offers a minimalist design with a 15-inch screen and a HEPA cabin filter. Pricing, state-by-state incentives, and comparisons to competitors like the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Volvo XC40 Recharge are detailed. The reviewer notes the Model Y's competitive efficiency and superior boot space despite having a smaller battery than some rivals. The video concludes by detailing warranty, servicing recommendations, and optional extras like the Full Self-Driving package.
