Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

Six seats
420 L rear cargo space with all rows raised
250 kW published maximum DC charging

Trim guidance: Tesla lists 420 L behind the raised third row and 1,076 L with it folded. Tesla’s towing table lists up to 1,043 kg with six occupants.

681 km is Tesla's WLTP figure. Compare has not measured this variant's highway or loaded range.

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

Safety and warranty fine print

More than a five-star headline.

ANCAP evidence

Rating: 5 stars
Test year / expiry: 2025 / December 2031
Adult occupant: 91%
Child occupant: 88%
Vulnerable road user: 86%
Safety assist: 92%

ANCAP extended the related Model Y test results to the six-seat Model Y L. Some second-row child seats may require an extension strap. Side-mounted tension indicators can make some third-row ISOFIX restraints difficult to fit. Test your exact seats.

TechManPat practical fit

Not tested - yet.

Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.

The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
