Used 2021 Tesla Model Y SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The Tesla Model Y is a fully electric small crossover SUV with seating for five passengers. An optional third row increases seating capacity to seven. It comes in two main trims: Long Range and Performance. You might have also heard about the Model Y Standard Range. Tesla offered this introductory trim briefly on its website at the start of 2021 only to discontinue it a month later. It had a purported 244 miles of range. Feature highlights for the Model Y include:
Which Model Y trim does Edmunds recommend?
Our choice for most EV shoppers is the Long Range. It's properly quick and has an impressive EPA-estimated range of 326 miles. Actual real-world range isn't usually that good because Tesla recommends charging to 90% to avoid shortening battery life, but even so this is among the longest-driving electric vehicles out. The Model Y Performance is crazy fast, but its overly stiff ride is too much of a drawback.
