Introduced into NZ in 2022, the Model Y is like the Model 3, but longer and taller.

Even with the front trunk and roomier boot space, it offers similar efficiency and performance as the Model 3

Tesla Model Y review + Camping Mode in New Zealand!

"It's got it going on. It's got range, it's got performance, it's got charging speed, and the charging network.
As well it's got efficiency, quality of ride, rigidity, safety all at that price point."

That’s entertainment – 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance review

"It’s an EV that goes about its day to day driving business without stressing the driver and has plenty of aids to minimise the dullness of rush hour traffic. I personally don’t like having no instrument cluster in front of me but I also assume that I am not the target market for the Model Y."
