While the 2023 Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD might not outshine its sibling, the Model 3 sedan, in some aspects, it has certainly carved out its niche in the electric crossover market. Its handling may not be as agile on winding roads and some might find the interior materials to be somewhat lacking in quality, but it still stands tall in terms of driving range. In this arena, it leaves many competitors trailing in its wake.

The Model Y’s interiors have a minimalist aesthetic, with all vehicle controls streamlined into a single infotainment display affixed to the dashboard. This could be a point of contention for some, but others might appreciate the clean, uncluttered look. In terms of cost, its price tag puts it neck and neck with other luxury EV SUVs.

However, where the Model Y truly distinguishes itself is with its third-row seating. This feature, absent in many of its contemporaries, makes it a hit among families with small children. So whether you’re a parent doing school runs or simply someone who appreciates additional seating capacity, this could be an enticing feature.
