The Tesla Model Y Performance model gets no extra equipment other than the additional motor to drive the front wheels and 21-inch wheels surrounding larger brakes. You can also option a white interior for $1500, although it looks like it’s just waiting to proudly display any marks. It’s a classy metallic white but we’d also like to see at least one of the grey, blue, black or red colours offered at the same price (red adds $2900 to the price while the others command a $1500 premium). It’s designed to remove pollens, bacteria and pollution as part of the creatively named Bioweapon Defense Mode.Īs with the Model 3, the only colour you’ll get for your $72,300 (plus ORCs) outlay is white. One other thing the Model Y picks up is a HEPA filter for the cabin. The Model Y gets a 13-speaker sound system that includes speakers in each door, speakers on the dash, speakers at the base of the A-pillar, speakers in the tailgate and a subwoofer. The biggest difference is the addition of ambient lighting and a better sound system. However, the Y also steps up to 19-inch wheels (Model 3 gets 18s) and gets the ‘Premium Interior’ (the Model 3 only gets a ‘Partial Premium Interior’). Safety is taken care of with autonomous emergency braking (AEB), speed limit warning, lane keep assist, cameras facing forward, backwards and on each side, as well as blind spot warning. There’s also a 15-inch touch-screen and some of the best connectivity available on any car through the Tesla app. It comes with everything the Tesla Model 3 RWD gets, including leather-look seats (they’re vegan), power-adjustable steering wheel, power-operated front seats, heated seats in all five positions and a panoramic sunroof.

The Rear-Wheel Drive gets a single motor driving the rear wheels whereas the Long Range and Performance get a dual-motor set-up driving all four wheels. The mid-grade Long Range is expected in 2023.Īll three share the same body with the main visual alteration being wheels.ĭifferences in equipment levels are minor, leaving the batteries and drive systems to do the bulk of the differentiating. As with the Tesla Model 3, the 2022 Tesla Model Y is available in three guises: Rear-Wheel Drive, Long Range and Performance.įor now, Australians can only order a Rear-Wheel Drive or Performance version, the latter not beginning deliveries until later in 2022. ![]()
