Of course, there are many ways in which the Tesla Model Y stands out from previous Tesla electric vehicles. When compared to the Model 3, it’s easy to see some simple differences and commonalities. However, when examined and compared by a former GM engineer, some of these differences become that much more obvious. In a new video from CleanTechnica, a former GM engineer takes a look at what makes the Model Y different from the Model 3.
A brief presentation of slides and videos breakdowns some of the key statistical differences between the two electric vehicles. As emphasized in the introduction, there are many different reviews of the Model Y already. However, each new review brings an entirely diverse perspective that leads to fresh insights.
The base price difference between the two vehicles is quite significant. The base Model Y begins at $53,000 USD or $72,390 CAD. The Model 3 base price starts at $40,000 USD or $53,700 CAD. Of course, as the video also points out, these prices change depending on what upgrades and features the buyer selects.
Model Y’s tinted rear glass receives a special mention. This is an interesting detail, as it was often overlooked in early press releases showcasing the vehicle’s design. The video continues to highlight many more differences such as technological details, speed performance, and range.
