The 2023 Tesla Model Y RWD is Australia’s top-selling electric SUV, and for good reason. With its distinctive design, impressive storage versatility, and excellent driving experience, it’s hard to beat the value that the Model Y offers. As more electric vehicles are released, the Model Y continues to stand out as a top choice for those looking to make the switch to electric.
The entry-level rear-wheel-drive Model Y is priced at just under $70,000, making it more affordable than its award-winning Korean rivals, the Kia EV6 and Hyundai IONIQ 5. The Model Y boasts a 62 kWh battery pack, providing a range of 455 kilometers on a full charge. Charging the Model Y is convenient, with access to Tesla’s established charging network, effectively doubling the number of charging options compared to other EVs.
The Model Y’s interior is minimalist, yet functional and comfortable. The power-operated seats, massive glass roof, and power-adjustable steering wheel and mirrors create a sense of space and luxury. The 15-inch high-resolution touchscreen display controls nearly all functions, including climate control, multimedia, and even air vent direction. The Model Y also comes standard with a 13-speaker audio system and various storage solutions.
Safety features in the Model Y include seven airbags and an effective lane-keeping system. The backseat provides ample space for passengers, and the power-operated rear tailgate reveals a large boot area with plenty of storage cubbies.
Despite being the slowest Tesla ever sold in Australia, the Model Y RWD provides a satisfying driving experience, with responsive steering and good body control through corners. The suspension setup may be on the firmer side, but the Model Y still offers a fun and engaging driving experience.
The 2023 Tesla Model Y RWD should be on your shopping list if you’re considering an electric SUV. With its impressive value, integration of technology, and standard features, the Model Y stands out as a top choice in the electric vehicle market.
