Tesla Model Y Silver

There are two options: the entry-level Long-Range AWD (all-wheel drive) with a maximum range of 315 miles and a substantial 434 horsepower, and the more expensive Performance version, with 483 horsepower (and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds) but a slightly lower range. Note that if it’s range you’re after primarily, the Model3 offers up to 360 miles because it’s lighter. We love the driving character of this Tesla: the huge windscreen, raised ride height and thin pillars give you a huge view and, with the short bonnet at the front, it feels van-like to move around town. We mean that as a compliment - you just have a great view of the road ahead and feel like you can twirl the car round town on a pint point, not to mention parking it with ease. The only downside is a slightly hard, busy ride, not helped by the low-slung weight of the battery, and there is some rattling coming inside from the rear over bumps. We also wish we could adjust the amount of regenerative braking, as you can in competitor models like the Kia EV6 which offers six modes. But you cannot fault the range and Tesla’s public charging network which is the only one in the country that doesn’t give you heart palpitations if you need to refuel on route.
