TESLA 2022 BUYER'S GUIDE MODEL S, 3, X, Y

EV Channels Review

This comprehensive buyer's guide breaks down Tesla's 2022 lineup, offering insights into the Model 3, Y, S, and X. The reviewer highlights the growing popularity of EVs and Tesla's expanding Supercharger network, emphasizing home charging as the primary method. Key safety features like Autopilot are discussed, with a critical assessment of the Full Self-Driving package, deeming it not worth the $10,000 price tag currently due to unreleased features. The guide details each model's trims, ranges, performance, and pricing, noting the Model 3's RWD variant starts at $44,990 with a 272-mile range, while the Long Range offers 358 miles. The Model Y is presented as a versatile crossover, with the Long Range starting at $58,990 and offering 330 miles of range. The premium Model S and X are covered, with the Model S Plaid achieving a sub-2-second 0-60 time. Common criticisms include fit and finish issues, but the reviewer praises Tesla's over-the-air updates and the overall ownership experience, particularly the Supercharger network and Autopilot. The guide concludes that while Teslas are excellent, potential buyers should consider the high entry price for the S and X, with a cheaper EV from Tesla anticipated in the future.
