NEW TESLA MODEL Y REVIEW – LONGER RANGE AND CHEAPER

EV Channels Review

The updated Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD presents a compelling case for buyers seeking greater efficiency and a lower price point, offering an official range of 373 miles. However, this efficiency comes at the cost of refinement, with significant road noise and a particularly poor ride quality noted, especially around town and on motorways. While the handling is competent, the steering feel is described as nervous and heavy, detracting from the driving experience. The interior retains its minimalist design, with the large touchscreen being responsive and bright, though the lack of smartphone mirroring and physical controls for certain functions are drawbacks. Rear passenger space is generous. The upcoming "Project Juniper" generation, expected in 2025, promises aerodynamic improvements and interior upgrades, potentially addressing some current shortcomings. Despite its practicality and access to the Supercharger network, the reviewer suggests the Model 3 is a better driving proposition unless the Model Y's extra space is essential.
