It’s still utterly rapid though, with the Long Range model taking 4.8 seconds to hit the benchmark, and the Performance model just 3.5. So, roughly 40-50 miles difference.Īcceleration is similarly affected, with the Model Y not quite able to post as impressive 0-62mph times as the smaller car. The Long Range Model Y offers a 315-mile claimed WLTP range (compared to 360 in the equivalent Model 3), while the Model Y Performance claims 298 miles, compared to 340 in the 3. In the meantime, both versions of the Y offer impressive battery range – albeit a little lower than in an equivalent 3 because the Y is bigger, heavier and less aerodynamic. How Do Performance & Range Compare?Īgain, no Standard Range version of the Y yet but it’ll probably happen at some stage. Ultimately, the fatter body of the Y makes for a very spacious car for 5. The wheelbase of both cars is the same, so you’re not getting any more rear legroom in the Y but that’s no big deal because the 3 has a relatively long space between the axles anyways. There’s a 7-seat version of the Y available in the US, but it’s not available here in the UK yet. The front luggage space is bigger than the 3’s too, at 117 litres, and so when you drop the seats and add up all the space you’re getting a whopping 2100 litres. In pure volume terms you’re looking at a boot twice the size: 854 litres compared to 425. That 5 grand or so is really paying for the added practicality that the Model Y brings, because not only is it taller, which means improved headroom, it also has a much bigger boot that’s accessed via a larger hatchback.
