2022 Tesla Model Y

Price Range: $22,900 - $40,590

Tesla Model Y Performance 4dr SUV Exterior

Great

The 2022 Model Y is a stylish and roomy electric SUV with strong appeal. Of the two versions, we prefer the Long Range. It lacks the crazy acceleration of the Performance but is still pleasingly quick. It's also smoother-riding and a better value. The Y clearly lags the rest of the industry, though, in smartphone integration.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Nick Yekikian

Updated: 2/1/2022

To its credit, Tesla has figured out how to generate plenty of social media buzz over cars that, in the grand scheme of things, few people buy. Case examples would be the crazy fast Plaid version of the Model S — a niche car to be sure — or the Cybertruck, which is piling up delays quicker than a NASA telescope project. Yet underneath the noise are some pretty compelling Tesla models, and one of them is the 2022 Model Y.

The Y debuted for 2020 as a pioneer of the all-electric small SUV class. It's similar to Tesla's Model 3 small sedan but provides a roomier interior for both people and cargo. It even has an option for a third-row seat, albeit a tiny one. When it comes to providing a pleasing mix of space, range and performance for an EV, the Y is a standout.

For 2022, Tesla is making some small changes to the Model Y. These range from a new, lighter 12-volt lithium-ion battery (replacing the traditional lead-acid one) to laminated rear windows to better insulate the cabin from noise. But more significant changes are also rumored to be coming for the Y. Specifically, Tesla could be changing the design of the Y's main battery pack to a structurally integrated design known as 4680. How this new battery pack will influence the Y's capability or performance is yet to be determined, but we'll update this section as we learn more.

In the meantime, the Model Y faces off against fresh competition. The Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Volkswagen ID.4 have all debuted recently, and each one has appealing qualities that might win you over. Check out our test team's full Expert Rating below to help you decide which EV is going to be best for you.

What's it like to live with?

Our test team lived with the Model Y and put it through its paces over thousands of miles and months of real-world use. Check out our long-term Tesla Model Y test page for all the details on how it held up over the duration of our test, how reliable it was, and our take on what it's like to live with the Model Y.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Jonathan Elfalan

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Tesla Model Y on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the Model Y drive? Acceleration isn't a weak point here. During Edmunds' testing, the Model Y Long Range needed just 4.8 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill. And despite being equipped with all-season tires, which are typically designed more for wear resistance than road grip, our test vehicle still managed a very impressive stopping distance from 60 mph in just 112 feet. Both of those numbers are better than we expected and impressive for the EV segment.

Steering and handling are also laudable despite the Model Y's heavy weight. The steering feels light and is quick to respond to inputs, giving you a sense of control and connection through a corner. There's minimal body roll too, especially for an SUV. In-town drivability is excellent. Seasoned EV drivers will appreciate the adjustable regenerative braking that allows you to drive nearly exclusively using just the right pedal.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Model Y? The Model Y's cabin provides good comfort in some areas and disappoints in others. The seats are well padded and provide ample support and the seat heaters warm quickly. But the simulated leather upholstery doesn't breathe particularly well and can feel stifling in hot weather. The climate control, like everything else, is touchscreen-operated. It can cool and heat the cabin well, but it has to work extra hard if the sun is out and beaming through the Y's expansive glass roof. You can remotely precondition the cabin before you get in, which is convenient.

The Long Range model is a huge step up in ride quality over the Performance model. The ride of the Long Range is much more livable, though we still wouldn't call it plush. Smaller bumps and cracks tend to make their way into the cabin. That said, the Model Y does a pretty commendable job of filtering out wind and ambient noise, creating a pretty serene cabin experience.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Model Y's cabin is spacious, with lots of headroom and legroom for all occupants. Getting in and out is easy thanks to the wide-opening doors, tall roof and low step-over height.

Alas, the large touchscreen, while it looks cool and modern, is the Y's single gateway to controlling nearly everything. There's a learning curve to using the controls, and the system is generally distracting to use while driving. Another issue: If the touchscreen flakes out, you lose the majority of access to the Model Y's controls.

Forward visibility is impressive thanks to the tall and wide windshield and short hood. There's only a bit of obstruction from the large front windshield pillars when making turns. Rear visibility, however, is like what you get in a sport coupe. The slim rear window and high rear beltline greatly restrict what you can see out of the back.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? There are significant pros and cons when it comes to the Model Y's technology features. The big center screen is easy to see and has crisp-looking graphics. The navigation system, which is Google-based, is also clear and easy to read. But the system can be slow to update in spotty service areas, leaving you temporarily mapless. The sound quality from the 14-speaker audio system is immersive.

The biggest downside is the lack of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. Bluetooth is the only way to connect your phone, and it's a poor substitute compared with the more feature-packed capability of CarPlay and Android Auto.

As for the voice controls, you can theoretically use them to do many things, such as set the cabin temperature or open the glovebox. Yet we found them largely ineffective in real-world use. Making simple requests, such as "call Mom," failed to work on multiple occasions in our testing.

The Model Y's advanced driver aids perform great in stop-and-go traffic, but they have proved slightly annoying at highway speeds or along roads with parked cars. We've experienced a number of false alarms with the system riding too close to another car on the highway or mistaking a parked vehicle on the shoulder for a stopped vehicle in our lane, making for a rude awakening for the car behind us. Few competitor vehicle systems share these issues.

On the upside, you'll have access to an internet browser that allows you to do stuff like watch Netflix or scroll through YouTube videos — while parked, of course, and provided you're up-to-date on your Tesla data plan ($9.99 a month) or connected to Wi-Fi. One of the greatest innovations from Tesla is constant over-the-air updates that can add features and system optimizations.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Model Y's cargo space is massive. Tesla cites 68 cubic feet of maximum capacity, though it's unclear whether that number includes the front trunk. The rear seats don't fold entirely flat, but there's a wide opening and an easy load-in height. The removable cargo floor provides even more rear storage underneath. Tesla updated the center console storage for the Model Y for 2021 with a new sliding bin cover and sueded smartphone charging spaces. This is a much better organized setup than the older flip lids, but storage space remains largely the same.

Child safety seat accommodation is average for an SUV of this size. There's sufficient space for even the largest of child seats. The lower car seat anchors, however, have small access points and are hard to loop through. The top tether points are on the lower side of the rear seats and can be hard to reach.

Range and Efficiency

8/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates the 2021 Model Y Long Range has a maximum range of 326 miles and uses 27 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles of driving, making it the next most efficient luxury EV behind the Tesla Model 3. Both are very impressive for an electric SUV.

In Edmunds' real-world testing of the 2021 Model Y Long Range, we observed a total range of 317 miles at a consumption rate of 26.2 kWh/100 miles running in the max-range battery mode, which charges the battery to full capacity. This mode is not recommended for daily use and should be reserved for longer trips. While the Model Y didn't quite match its range estimate in our test, its 300-plus mile range is more than sufficient for most buyers as long as you're driving conservatively.

Value

8/10

Is the Model Y a good value? The Model Y Long Range model is less expensive than the Performance but still well into luxury SUV pricing territory with an as-new starting price of around $60,000. Also know that the $7,500 federal tax credit for Tesla's vehicles has officially run out.

Is that a good deal? The appeal of the Model Y depends on what you value. If it's speed and space for its size, the Model Y is a relative bargain compared to other luxury SUVs and its most obvious EV competitor, the Ford Mustang Mach-E. But if interior design and comfort features are priorities, the Model Y is slightly disappointing.

The Model Y Long Range has a 11.5-kW onboard charger and the usual assortment of charge cord options. It also works with Tesla's proprietary Supercharger network, which provides reasonably priced recharging that's best suited for times when you need a bunch of range quickly (such as on road trips).

In terms of warranties, the Y's is a bit below average for a luxury SUV but comparable to coverage for a luxury EV. You get four years/50,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and roadside assistance. Tesla covers the battery for eight years/120,000 miles and guarantees 70% retention of the battery life over that period.

Wildcard

9/10

The Model Y Long Range may lack the theatrics of the Performance model, but it's still properly quick and provides a similar level of fun behind the wheel. Pair that with a better ride quality and we think the Long Range is the preferred model of the two. It still checks off the "fun-to-drive" boxes with fewer compromises to comfort. The Y's sleek stance also makes it good to look at, and you can still get the big wheels to give it some Performance model flair.

2022 Tesla Model Y 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. Feature highlights for the Model Y include: Compare the 2022 Tesla Model Y trim levels in-depth.

Which Model Y trim does Edmunds recommend?

Go with the Long Range. Its EPA-estimated range is more than sufficient for most commuters, and while Tesla recommends you don't squeeze that much out of the battery between charging cycles, it's still an impressive number. The Model Y Performance is fun to drive but doesn't fully justify its considerably higher price and overly stiff and bumpy ride quality.
