2022 TESLA MODEL Y REVIEW (SHANGHAI MODEL) FIRST IN GERMANY!

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Tesla Model Y, built in Shanghai and now available in Germany, presents a compelling package for the compact electric SUV market. The reviewer highlights its streamlined exterior, shared parts with the Model 3, and practical SUV form factor. Key advantages include a spacious interior with ample cargo capacity, particularly the large hatch and folding rear seats, making it suitable for transporting furniture or larger items. The build quality is noted as significantly improved, with tighter panel gaps and better finishing compared to previous models. Performance is strong, with the Long Range AWD model accelerating to 100 km/h in 5 seconds. The reviewer praises the responsive infotainment system and the minimalist, animal-free interior, though notes the lack of manual climate controls and a head-up display as potential drawbacks. The panoramic roof's lack of a shade is also mentioned as a concern for hot climates. Overall, the Model Y is seen as a practical, well-built, and fun-to-drive electric SUV that offers a strong alternative to German competitors.
