TESLA MODEL Y DRIVEN IN THE UK VS MODEL 3: EFFICIENCY, RANGE & IN-DEPTH REVIEW (DUAL MOTOR LONG RANGE)

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Long Range is reviewed against the Model 3, focusing on real-world efficiency, practicality, and driving dynamics. The reviewer finds the Model Y to be a "bloody brilliant" all-rounder, offering significant practicality gains over the Model 3, particularly in boot space and rear passenger comfort due to its hatchback design and increased interior volume. Efficiency is remarkably similar between the two, with the Model Y proving only slightly less efficient in real-world highway driving, a testament to its design. Key criticisms are directed at the firm ride quality, which can feel a bit jarring on UK roads, and the sharp steering, which might be too aggressive for a larger crossover. Despite these minor points, the Model Y is praised for its performance, sharp handling, and overall versatility, making it a highly practical and fun family car that justifies its expected popularity.
