BYD Seal U
Tesla Model Y
VS

If you prize Supercharger convenience, software polish and stronger resale you’ll gravitate to the Model Y, but for outright value, plush appointments and clever battery tech the Seal U is the cheeky underdog your bank account will high-five.
Polestar 4
Tesla Model Y
VS
The Polestar 4 throws a Scandinavian, coupe‑like silhouette and taut handling at you, feeling like the design‑obsessed, premium choice with crisp interior finishes and a surprisingly engaging drive. The Tesla Model Y, meanwhile, plays the utility card — roomier, cheaper to run on long trips thanks to Superchargers and blessed with software smarts — so pick the Polestar if you want emotion, the Model Y if you want everyday convenience and range.
