MODEL TESTED: Modle Y Dual Motor Long Range
PRICE: £52,990 POWERTRAIN: 2x e-motor, 434bhp
RECENT price adjustments brought discounts across the Tesla range, and the Long Range model tested here had £5,000 knocked off it. This took the price to £52,990, which undercuts the ID. Buzz by a significant margin. With options, our test car comes to a total of £57,490.
Tech highlights
UNDER the skin, the Tesla features a similar arrangement to the VW, with a skateboard platform housing the battery and motors. The key difference here is that the Model Y has a second motor up front for four-wheel drive and a combined output of 434bhp – double that of the ID.
