, I started thinking about how cost competitive the Model 3 has become. But then I remembered that Americans hardly ever buy sedans these days, that it’s all about crossovers and SUVs. So, it hit me that we were ripe for an update on how the cost of a Tesla Model Y compares to the costs of its top competitors in the States.
Now, there are always going to be different opinions about which cars are in competition with each other. Heck, someone could be deciding between two very different types of cars — I’ve seen it many times. Though, overall, similar size and similar class is the best we can go with for an article like this. So, I’ve pulled up the BMW X4 and the Audi Q5, which I think are the closest match to the Tesla Model Y in that regard.
