According to Tesla, the Model Y
dual-motor long range
can
reach
60 mph in 4.8 seconds
while the
performance
model
takes less than
3.5 seconds.
hese
figures
put the Model Y
at
the
forefront of
electric
SUVs such as
the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which
can accelerate from 100 km/h
in
five
seconds.
The
Tesla has reliable traction control,
which makes navigating
icy and
wet roads a breeze.
The
steering is light and
responsive
to
your inputs so you feel controlled and connected through corners.
Also,
there is
almost no
body
roll, especially
for an
SUV. This
is a big
problem.
Adjustable
regenerative braking
allows
you to drive almost
entirely on
the
right pedal.
This is
something
I
appreciate every time
I get
behind the wheel.
The
Model Y still has
plenty of
range for
most everyday
driving and even
street driving
even though Tesla is known to fall below
EPA
range
in
real
highway
testing I'm here.
the
performance
and
long-range
versions of the Tesla Model Y are each rated 303 miles by the EPA
If you're cruising on the highway at 70 mph, I think it's
reasonable to expect about 290 miles
long range
and 265 miles in
performance.
