The 2024 Tesla Model Y is almost single-handedly responsible for putting fully electric vehicles (EVs) on the map in the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment, which was dominated by the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid before its arrival. Point being, it's a volume-seller all over the world, including in Australia where buyer preferences are typically more conservative. So, what makes the Model Y so appealing? Well, despite an influx of EV competition from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and now even the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra, it remains sharply priced, so much so that its rivals are struggling to compete when it comes to the all-important value for money. Speaking of which, which Model Y is the best buy? Is it the eponymous entry-level variant or the Performance flagship? Or is it the mid-spec Long Range on test here? In this expert review, CarsGuide Senior Journalist Richard Berry finds out how well the recently updated version measures up. #Tesla #ModelY #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:23 Pricing and features 03:50 Design 04:58 Practicality 06:44 Under the bonnet 07:28 Driving 11:05 Safety 12:19 Efficiency 13:08 Ownership 13:41 Verdict -- Read Richard's full review: https://bit.ly/3JcVZEn Check out our Model Y hub: https://bit.ly/3TlM9nY Find more SUVs: https://bit.ly/3QVs1X1 Visit our EV Guide: https://bit.ly/3UHO9GT -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au
