2022 Tesla Model Y Review | Has this SUV been the EV we’ve all been waiting for?

It’s almost laughable that Australia’s top-selling EV (by a few country miles) has been the Tesla Model 3. It’s a sedan, after all, and sedans have been on the nose in new-car showrooms for more than a decade.

Now, the US electric car brand has come out swinging with the Tesla Model Y – the EV giant’s most affordable SUV, and only its second model currently available in Australia. The Model Y takes the EV goodness from the Model 3 and injects it into a higher-riding body more likely to impress the masses increasingly gravitating to SUVs.

Reviewing a 2022 Model Y at the end of 2023? I’m confused.

It's almost laughable that you're reviewing a 2022 model at the end of 2023.

This guy's a tool judging by the way he slammed that hood shut on a car that isn't even his. Probably just effed up the seams around the frunk.

And why did they not even comment on the self driving the most wonderful feature about Tesla’s

Reviewing this now? 12 month late perhaps?

[jeremiely]

yep that's how you close the frunk hood by smashing it :)

[robertsaca]

lol, 2 years too late with a review buddy, there's a gazillion of them everywhere, they're too well understood to require reviewing now.

The model y is already in the top 10 most sold cars of Aus on a month to month basis. I think its actually ahead of the Model 3

lack of attention to engineering detail, build quality is not there with other makers. Just need a quick look at between panels and seals.
