WILL IT BE THE BEST EV? TESLA MODEL Y 2022 REVIEW WALKAROUND

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Tesla Model Y is presented as a crucial addition to the Australian EV market, directly challenging rivals like the Ioniq 5 and EV6. The review highlights three expected variants: Standard Range RWD, Long Range AWD, and the Performance AWD. While the exterior design is noted as less original than some competitors, its practicality and spacious interior, particularly the significantly larger boot space compared to the Model 3, are major selling points. The reviewer praises the car's performance capabilities, especially in the Performance trim, and the extensive infotainment options. However, criticisms include the lack of seat cooling in the vegan interior, the reliance on the touchscreen for basic functions like wipers, and the fixed angle of the screen. The glass roof's suitability for Australia's climate without a sunblind is also questioned. Overall, the Model Y is positioned as a practical, high-performance SUV with Tesla's Supercharging network advantage, though some interior comfort features are noted as areas for improvement.
