Despite increased competition in the space, the Tesla Model Y is still one of the best EVs out there. It has access to the best charging network, plus it offers among the best software experiences, as well as a solid range, especially in the longer-range models. And the Model Y is now down to its lowest price yet, meaning that if you were considering getting one, now is probably the time to buy.
Recommended Videos Of course, that pricing is for the base rear-wheel drive model, but the other models have been discounted too. The long range all-wheel drive model, which is probably the model most people should get, is down to $47,990 at the time of this writing, or $40,490 after the full tax credit.
The Model Y also offers a solid range. The base model has a range of 260 miles, which isn’t the best — but if you step up to the long-range model, you’ll get 310 miles, which is pretty good. The Model Y can charge at up to 250 kilowatts, which is relatively fast — and Tesla vehicles can charge at non-Tesla stations with an adapter. As NACS becomes more popular, charging stations will switch over to that connector too — eliminating the need for an adapter.
Why you should avoid a Tesla Model Y The discussion around charging network support is in a bit of a weird spot. It is true that most non-Tesla electric cars can’t currently access the Supercharger network, but that’s set to change in a matter of months. Slowly, automakers will get access to Superchargers — and drivers of non-Tesla vehicles will be able to use Superchargers with an adapter, even without their car having the NACS connector.
