Tesla Model Y can be said to be the most popular new energy model this year. In November this year, it also ranked second in the new energy sales list with 52,424 vehicles delivered. At the same time, with Tesla officially announcing price reductions for Model 3 and Model Y, as well as an insurance subsidy plan for limited-time pick-up of existing cars, Tesla's move can be said to achieve a "take-off" in sales in the face of new domestic car-making forces. So, what is the overall strength behind such strong sales? Let us also take a look.

Tesla Model Y continues the family-style design language in terms of appearance. The front face adopts a closed grille design, paired with sharp headlights on both sides, creating an extremely simple design style. At the same time, there is also a flat air inlet under the front enclosure, and the air guide grooves on both sides improve the overall visual center of gravity.

Side of the car body, Tesla Model Y adopts a fastback design, and multiple horizontal lines also make the side of the car body more three-dimensional. At the same time, it is also equipped with hidden door handles and frameless doors, which also weaken some excessive complexity. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the car are 4750/1921/1624mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2890mm. For the Model Y, which is positioned as a medium-sized pure electric SUV, the overall performance is quite satisfactory, but the rear space is also relatively spacious, basically leaving two punches of leg room and one punch of head room.

At the rear, the raised design of the bottom bumper , combined with the shape of a duck tail, further enhances the sporty atmosphere of the car. Anyway, in my opinion, the minimalist style of Tesla Model Y is indeed in line with the aesthetics of today's young consumer groups.

Entering the car, Tesla Model Y also adopts a minimalist design style. The 15-inch large central control screen becomes an important carrier in the car, and the driving instrument panel is also canceled in front of the steering wheel. Anyway, driving a Tesla Model Y for the first time will definitely make you feel acclimatized. In addition, Model Y's workmanship is relatively generous, with a large area wrapped in genuine leather and matched with decorative panels with wooden textures, giving it a sense of luxury and technology.

In terms of configuration, all Tesla Model Y series provide L2-level assisted driving, and come standard with front and rear parking radar, reversing image , cruise control and other functions, such as main/passenger airbags, lane keeping assist system , merging assist, etc., which can fully meet the daily needs of consumers.

In terms of power, Tesla Model Y provides a total of three powertrains, of which the rear-drive version is equipped with a rear permanent magnet synchronous single motor with a total motor power of 194kW and motor with a total torque of 340N·m; the long-range version is equipped with front/rear permanent magnet synchronous dual motors with a total motor power of 331kW and a total motor torque of 559N·m; the Performance high-performance version is equipped with front/rear permanent magnet synchronous dual motors with a total motor power of 357kW and a total motor torque of 659N·m. In terms of battery life, the rear-wheel drive version is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 60kWh, and the CLTC pure electric range is 545km; the long-range version and the high-performance version are equipped with a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 78.4kWh, and the CLTC pure electric range is 660km and 615km respectively.

Currently, Tesla Model Y offers 3 versions and configurations, with the manufacturer’s guide price ranging from 299,988 to 397,900 yuan. But I personally recommend the long-range all-wheel drive version. Compared with the rear-drive version, the long-range version has a longer mileage and can well solve the problem of "range anxiety". Compared with the Performance high-performance version, although the power performance is insufficient, the zero-to-hundred acceleration in about 5 seconds, coupled with the extra 45km of battery life, can fully meet consumers' car needs.

All in all, in the face of the influx of new domestic models, Tesla Model Y, as one of the best-selling models at this stage, has been recognized by many consumers, and its overall strength is still very strong. Facing future competitive trends, I personally am still full of expectations for Tesla.
