Price Range: $24,500 - $54,998

Tesla Model Y Performance 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

The 2023 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. A lack of easy smartphone integration and the lackluster interior materials are the Y's biggest drawbacks.

The Tesla Model Y is an all-electric SUV and the fourth model in Tesla's lineup, slotting underneath the Model X and offering a more spacious (albeit more expensive) alternative to the Model 3 sedan. It's one of the most popular electric cars on the road thanks to excellent electric range, loads of in-car tech and swift acceleration, especially in the Performance trim.

Official details for the 2023 Model Y will likely keep trickling in throughout the year. Unlike most other automakers, Tesla makes rolling updates to its vehicles rather than waiting for a brand-new model year to come around. Recent updates include pricing reductions and the introduction of an Enhanced Autopilot option that adds a variety of advanced driver assist features, such as automatic lane changes as well as self-parking and summon features, without having to pay for the full-boat Full Self-Driving upgrade.

Specific to the 2023 Tesla Model Y is the introduction of Tesla's so-called 4680 battery cells. The new 4680 cells are a complete overhaul of the battery tech inside Tesla's cars, and the company has been working on them for quite some time. There's a lot that goes into the new cells, but what matters to most consumers is that this battery technology promises lower costs, which Tesla could pass on to its customers. As of this publication, Tesla has dropped the price of the Model Y several times throughout the year.

The Y is undeniably the sales leader in its class, but that class is growing with new options. The Audi Q4 e-tron, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Nissan Ariya, Subaru Solterra, Toyota bZ4X and Volkswagen ID.4 are all models that you might also want to consider for your next electric SUV purchase. Check out the Expert Rating below to get our test team's full take on the Model Y's utility, comfort, real-world range and more.

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 what it's like to live with the Model Y.

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2023 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.

Driving experience: 0-60, engine & performance

8.5/10

How does the Model Y drive? Acceleration isn't a weak point. 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 managed a very impressive stopping distance from 60 mph of 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: seats, ease of use, and getting in & out

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 synthetic 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 (especially on the 18-inch wheels), 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 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. The Model Y's available third-row seat is cramped but does add seven-passenger capability should you need it in a pinch.

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 you're 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.

In-cabin tech: infotainment & phone integration

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 Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

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. One of the greatest innovations from Tesla is constant over-the-air updates that can add features and system optimizations.

Storage: cargo space & space for small items

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. The center console has a sliding bin cover and sueded smartphone charging spaces.

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, efficiency & charging

8/10

How are the range and efficiency? [Editor's note: The following relates to the 2021 Model Y Long Range, which is what we most recently tested. EPA range and efficiency estimates have changed slightly since then, but our general takeaways still apply.] The EPA estimates the 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 people as long as you're driving conservatively.

One big advantage to the Model Y is access to Tesla's proprietary Supercharger network. It provides trustworthy and reasonably priced recharging that comes in handy when you need a bunch of range quickly (such as on road trips).

Value: cost, features & warranty

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. Is it worth it? 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 electric SUVs. But if interior design and comfort features are priorities, the Model Y is slightly disappointing.

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 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 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 get the big wheels to give it some Performance model flair.

2023 Tesla Model Y trim level differences

The 2023 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 three main trims: an unnamed standard-range version, Long Range and Performance.

Which Model Y trim does Edmunds recommend?

It costs a few thousand dollars more than the base model, but the Long Range trim's roughly 50 extra miles of range means it gets our nod. It has more than enough range for most commuters and doesn't give up anything to the Performance model except, well, performance. It also has a smoother ride and a lower price.Compare 2023 Tesla Model Y trim levels

After reading about the quality issues, I was hesitant to purchase a Tesla. When taking delivery I took a long list of about 50 items to check. I could only find 2 issues-the lower ppf was not installed and the trunk needed minor adjusting. Tesla fixed it in a 30 minute appointment and couldn't be more accommodating. The car has been a joy to drive. I would buy another in a heartbeat. …

Roomy. Fun Drive. Meh Build Q, Charmless Tesla.

2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

Bought my 2021 Model Y just after the height of Covid. Purchase procedure was charmless. Do not forget to bring your smart phone because they will not let you have the car without you acknowledging the purchase using YOUR phone. Customer next to me picked up their Tesla and one of their doors would not unlock. Mine had slightly misaligned doors, but they functioned correctly. They give … you 10 days to report any initial problems. LOL. Do they not have their own QC department? Overall, build and material quality are OK, but definitely sub-par for the luxury segment. I have ongoing problems with trapped moisture obscuring my cameras after rain storms. Had one camera replaced, but replacement also not sealed. Oversized/uneven gaps between some body panels, and one door edge has a sharp point where the metal bends. Road noise and cabin vibration is OK, not great. Our Volvo S60 was almost 20K cheaper and has better materials, seat comfort, noise isolation, and build tolerances. Rear speakers are mounted to the inside hatch door, so sound quality is crippled when trunk is filled with bags/luggage. Lastly, and most importantly, my battery range has dwindled to less than 85% in two years. I was not impressed with my customer experience a Tesla. Nothing too negative, just a total lack of personal connection from Tesla. No one explained anything about the car to me or called to see how the purchase went or how my car is doing. Tesla just deducts money from my bank account every month and sends me an email receipt. The upside is that picking up the car took about 30 minutes instead of 3 hours since the financials are all worked out ahead of time. Now for the positives: Fast dual engine. Acceleration is super smooth. Cabin is very roomy. Storage ample. Sound system is very good (though the interface needs improvement). Car feels fairly nimble. Great inch-by-inch control when backing into tight spaces or sloped roads/driveways. Poor visibility though rear window made up for with great visibility using rear and side cameras. Supercharger network is fairly extensive in CA, and works well, but I mostly charge from home. The Infotainment system has a lot of features and supported services (Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Tune-In, et cetera), even though using the complex interface is too distracting while driving. This car needs more buttons and less screen swiping. Voice recognition for phone and navigation system (addresses) actually quite decent.

Poor quality glass on the roof

2023 Tesla Model Y 4dr SUV (electric DD)

We bought the model Y in September of 2023 and we noticed a huge crack in the roof 6 months after. Is not covered in warranty as it's not a stress crack and is costing a lot to replace ! Was disappointed with the quality of the glass and is a safety concern. Will not recommend!!
