While it’s more popular with buyers than the Model 3 sedan on which it’s based, the 2023 Tesla Model Y is an altogether less satisfying offering. The electric crossover feels clumsier on a twisty road and offers less driving range, though it’s still a leader in that area among rivals such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Volkswagen ID.4. Like the Model 3, the Y’s interior is crafted from low-quality materials and all of the SUV’s controls are accessed through a singular infotainment display mounted to the dashboard. Its price also puts it into contention with luxury EV SUVs such as the Audi Q8 e-tron, the Cadillac Lyriq, and the Genesis GV60, all of which offer more panache and better build quality. But the Model Y can be had with a feature that those utes don’t offer, one which gives it a leg up with family buyers with small children: a third row of seats.
