SHOULD YOU BUY THIS ELECTRIC SUV? TESLA MODEL Y 2022 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model Y, in its 2022 Standard Range RWD configuration, is presented as a compelling option for families in Australia, despite a price increase. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, excellent forward visibility, and intuitive, albeit minimalist, 15-inch touchscreen interface. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample rear legroom, a flat floor, and generous cargo space in both the boot and the frunk. The vehicle's efficiency and the Tesla Supercharger network are noted as significant advantages, contributing to lower running costs compared to rivals. However, the review points out several drawbacks: the lack of a digital instrument cluster or head-up display makes monitoring speed less intuitive, rearward visibility is compromised by a narrow rear window, and the ride quality is criticized for being overly stiff and transmitting too much road noise and harshness into the cabin. Interior quality, while generally good, has minor issues like squeaking upholstery. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer ultimately recommends the Model Y for its strong overall package, particularly its performance, efficiency, technology, and packaging, suggesting potential buyers join the waitlist, provided they test drive to assess the suspension comfort.
