2022 Tesla Model Y vs 2023

What's the difference?

After this review I have no doubt the Model Y will set the sales charts on fire. It brings all the elements buyers are loving about the Model 3 while adding a healthy dose of practicality in an approachable SUV package.

I love the interconnectedness of this car and a lot of its sleek software features are hard to go back from once you’ve experienced them. But I also think as an SUV it has its share of flaws, particularly when it comes to the usability of some of its functions while you’re on the move, and its unnecessarily harsh ride.

While it seems a way of rivalling something like a RAV4 for family comfort and ergonomics, then, the Rear-Wheel Drive version of the Model Y in particular is a blockbuster EV at a reasonable price. It won’t be long before we’re seeing them everywhere.

One thing is for sure, it’s definitely a performance car, but not as we know it.

This version of the Tesla Model Y is the ultimate tech gadget on four wheels. It’s incredibly fast, has unbelievable, unnerving handling, and importantly what seems to be the best software in the business. Coming in significantly cheaper than its European performance EV rivals, it doesn’t even seem like bad value.

But. Enthusiasts be warned. There is an element of drama missing here, the Model Y is almost too good at attacking the road, there’s no roaring feedback or imperfections for you to correct, and for this reason alone, even if it’s the future, I don’t think it’s going to be for everyone.
