The 2026 Tesla Model Y offers a practical balance of size, driving range, and price. With some exterior styling updates, most changes are similar to those made to the refreshed Model 3, which we tested last year. Still, the Model Y remains competitive among electric SUVs, thanks to quick charging, a smoother ride, and access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network.

Y is the most common response when you tell people you bought a Tesla.
That’s funny but I have stocks in this so dont 😅
Having owned a Tesla for 4 years, having everything on the screen and intuitive made driving so much safer.
Tesla vehicles have higher accident rates than other manufacturers.
The tonneau cover can be stored under the rear cargo floor. An Improvement from last gen
There are people who still willingly support Elon Musk?
I don’t. But others work at Tesla. Not just Elon.
This is such a lame take. The idea that buying a Tesla means you’re supporting Musk because it causes Tesla stock to rise doesn’t even make any sense. The majority of investors in the U.S have exposure to Tesla’s stock performance through ETFs and 401k / retirement accounts. The Model Y is also made in America with mostly American parts. So in reality a Model Y purchase means support for American jobs and supply chains not some lame political statement.
Yes. Why would they not? American company employing American workers.
Tell yourself whatever you want to, but you have no plausible deniability going forward….
@@brocklanders6969 That’s all it takes to disregard your morals, assuming you have morals?
Thank you CR for all y’all do!
White interior is better. The camera is having trouble focusing. Does it have floor lights? Can’t see anything even during the day.
So glad I chose not to get a Tesla a couple of years ago. It’s the same car, it’s totally tired at this point. I ended up with an Ioniq 5 which I do Iike a lot but they al have issues.
Its not tesla changes cars under the skin not on the outside its not like ford or gm when they change something its a new model tesla just change it during manufacturing
Enjoy your ICCU failing and dealing when Hyundai dealers when it does.
You can place the privacy cover away. It’s under the mat. It stores away there. Consumer reports failed me
when can you ever get a base price with no option for $34k?
That’s what I wondered. Can you get it without $17,000 of options?
Not that I’d ever buy one.
My favorite car reviewer at CR. Everyone else comes in tied at a very close second.

Cargo cover can be stored under the trunk floor. Exterior door handles are not a problem for me after eight years of use.
it’s a common compliant for anyone who hasn’t spent more than 2 minutes with the car. most of my passengers get used to it after the second time. so annoying that people are this incompetent
I had a Tesla employee put it under the trunk floor for me before I drove off.
It’s not a Juniper, it’s a Swasticar.
Goood gooood… let the hate flow through you…
Dumbo hates tech and engineering

Just callin’ it like everyone (besides elmo bootlickers) sees it. Have a nice day. 🙂
Thoughts on the “missing ” shifter
STILL one of the ugliest cars on the road. It reminds me of a pregnant guppy. Top half window, bottom half car. I remember when it first came out the car critics gave it a pass because it’s a Tesla.
What do you thinnk about BMW?
I’ve driven and ridden in a few imof them and without saying it out loud because I didn’t want to offend the owners I kept asking myself Y wHY YYY!
There’s a reason why it’s the best selling and the model Y version L is going to be a small step till robotaxis
Why all theses bots, should i strike this
