Description:

The Tesla Model Y is a five-seat electric SUV offered in Canada as the RWD, Premium AWD and Performance AWD, with the entry model using one motor and the other two using two motors and all-wheel drive. Reviewers say the refreshed model rides more smoothly and is quieter than before, and they continue to praise its cargo space and Supercharger integration. Common complaints are that nearly every control lives in the touchscreen and that the ride is still on the firm side.

Range, Battery, and Charging of the Tesla Model Y:

The Premium AWD is rated at up to 542 km, the Performance AWD at 494 km and the RWD at 463 km.
The RWD uses a 64 kWh battery, while the Premium AWD and Performance AWD use an 82 kWh battery.
Level 3 DC fast charging is listed at about 24 minutes for the RWD and about 27 minutes for the two AWD versions, and every version charges natively at Tesla Superchargers.
Level 2 charging takes about 8 hours on every version.
Combined consumption is rated at 15.4 kWh/100 km for the RWD, 17.3 kWh/100 km for the Premium AWD and 19.2 kWh/100 km for the Performance AWD.

Powertrain and Performance of the Tesla Model Y:

Output is 220 kW and 404 Nm in the RWD, 296 kW and 510 Nm in the Premium AWD, and 380 kW and 674 Nm in the Performance AWD.
0–100 km/h takes 7.2 seconds in the RWD, 4.6 seconds in the Premium AWD and 3.5 seconds in the Performance AWD.
Top speed is 250 km/h for the Performance AWD and 201 km/h for the other two versions.
Every version is rated to tow up to 1,600 kg, and curb weight ranges from 1,894 kg to 2,027 kg.
Reviewers find the refreshed suspension noticeably less harsh than before, though several still describe the ride as firmer than some rivals.

Technology and Features of the Tesla Model Y:

Heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection come on every version.
The Premium AWD lists ventilated front seats, and the Performance AWD rides on 21-inch tires.
Wireless phone charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot are included, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not offered.
Cargo volume is listed at up to 835 L behind the rear seats and up to 2,022 L with them folded, and reviewers also note a useful front trunk and power-folding rear seats.
Climate, mirrors, the glove box and gear selection are all handled through the touchscreen, which reviewers say takes some getting used to.
