The Tesla Model Y offers drivers up to 327 miles of EPA-estimated range on a single charge. This figure applies to the Long Range trim, though actual range varies by model configuration. The Performance trim drops to 277 miles, while rear-wheel-drive versions deliver between 311 and 387 miles. The Long Range all-wheel-drive model reaches up to 364 miles.
Tesla Model Y delivers up to 364 miles per charge, varying by trim and drivetrain configuration.
In everyday driving, most owners see around 300 miles before needing to plug in. Tesla’s Supercharger network makes recharging quick and convenient. These stations can add 150 to 169 miles of range in just 15 minutes. The Model Y supports charging speeds up to 250 kilowatts at compatible Superchargers. Drivers pay per use without membership fees.
The electric SUV’s battery pack holds 80.5 kilowatt-hours in Long Range versions and 63 kilowatt-hours in shorter-range models. Tesla doesn’t reveal the battery chemistry details but covers the pack with an eight-year, 120,000-mile warranty. The thermal management system keeps batteries cool during repeated fast charging sessions.
Different trim levels offer various performance features. The Long Range all-wheel-drive accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, while the rear-wheel-drive takes 5.4 seconds. Buyers can choose seven seats instead of five, which reduces cargo space to 12.8 cubic feet but doesn’t affect range. The maximum cargo capacity reaches 76 cubic feet with seats folded.
The Model Y weighs 4,396 pounds for Long Range models and sits 6.6 inches off the ground. Its dimensions include 188.6 inches in overall length, making it a substantial yet maneuverable electric SUV. Optional 20-inch wheels look sportier but slightly reduce efficiency. The significant battery weight contributes to accelerated tire wear, requiring more frequent replacements than traditional gas vehicles. Regenerative braking helps the SUV achieve higher miles per kilowatt-hour than many competitors.
Starting around $54,000 for base models, the Model Y competes directly with gas-powered and electric SUVs. European testing shows even better results, with WLTP estimates reaching 387 miles for the Long Range rear-wheel-drive version. The Model Y remains largely unchanged for 2025, continuing to offer the same proven features and specifications that have made it popular. Anticipation is building for future iterations of the vehicle, as details emerge about the 2026 Tesla Model Y features. These updates are expected to enhance performance and expand technology offerings, keeping the Model Y at the forefront of the competitive SUV market. As Tesla continues to innovate, buyers can look forward to even greater range and improved efficiency in the upcoming models.
The Model Y continues dominating global electric vehicle sales by balancing impressive range with practical features and widespread charging access.
