2022 Tesla Model Y Summary

The Model Y is more than just Australia’s most anticipated electric car, it’s one of most anticipated new vehicles for 2022 full stop.

To prove this point, within a week of going on sale, the Model Y’s waiting list has already blown out to roughly a year, with orders continually flowing in for the electric car which has thus far conquered the world.

It’s the most popular EV in the USA, and I think it’s a safe bet that within 18 months of its launch in Australia, it will be the most popular electric vehicle here, too.

Can this SUV possibly live up to the absurd hype which has built up around it? Stick with us as we take a look.

2023 Tesla Model Y Summary

This version of Tesla’s Model Y is the new frontier for enthusiasts. How do you make an electric performance car?

It should be easy, right? Just up the power of the motors - no need to fit a larger, more complex engine, and make sure you’ve got a battery with the appropriate outputs.

There’s far more than meets the eye. The big question is, is it worth the significant additional spend over the base Model Y?

We grabbed one of the earliest examples of the Performance to hit Australian shores to find out.
