Jeep,Model Y,Tesla

Jeep has taken the wraps off of the Wagoneer S, its first major attempt at an electric vehicle. But how does the car compare with the Tesla Model Y?

Jeep has finally unveiled its first fully electric SUV, the Jeep Wagoneer S. The new vehicle modernizes the design of the Wagoneer, while offering a fully electric powertrain and plenty of interior space.

Related Design The overall designs of the Jeep Wagoneer S and the Tesla Model Y are quite different. While Tesla does market the Model Y as an SUV, it’s much more of a crossover-sized vehicle. That’s not a bad thing, but when you look at the boxy shape of the Wagoneer S, you’re much more likely to see a true SUV.

The Model Y offers a solid set of driver-assist tools, however many of them don’t come free. For free, you will essentially get adaptive cruise control and a lane assistant, which can allow the car to more or less drive itself on the highway, with driver supervision. More advanced features are available at a price — but don’t expect the car to be able to completely drive itself regardless of how Tesla brands its software.

Again, interior designs are subjective, and while Tesla offers better software, many will still prefer CarPlay. Some might prefer a minimalistic look, while others will prefer having access to more buttons. This one’s also a tie.Performance The Jeep Wagoneer S is much more expensive than the Tesla Model Y, so you would assume that it performs much better. However, the cars are actually very close when it comes to overall performance.

Now, of course, “performance” encompasses more than just 0 to 60 times — however without having driven the Wagoneer S, it’s a little hard to judge overall driving dynamics. Even though the two cars are very similar in performance, the Wagoneer S is technically faster, so it gets the win.Range and charging Both the Tesla Model Y and the Jeep Wagoneer S have a lot to offer when it comes to range and charging — which you would expect of both Tesla and of a car the price of the Wagoneer S.

These numbers are for the Wagoneer S Launch Edition, which could end up being one of the longer-range models. However, we don’t yet have full information for the Launch Edition, let alone other potential iterations of the Wagoneer S. As such, this one’s a tie.Price and availability If you want an EV now and are deciding between these two vehicles, you only have one option — the Tesla Model Y.
