Tesla Model Y
The best-selling Model Y is a hit among EV drivers looking for great range (anywhere between 446 km and 525 km) in a practical crossover package. The base RWD model will take you the farthest, while the top-line Performance model will blow you away with 0-100 km/h sprints in 3.7 seconds. Build quality is hit-and-miss, however. A significant refresh is coming sometime in 2025 following a similar update to the Model 3 sedan for 2024.
