It won’t thrill the enthusiast, but its easy manners, clever packaging and dependable feel make it an ideal everyday car for shoppers who prefer sense over sass.

The Tesla Model Y blends SUV practicality with sports-car poke, wrapping a roomy, minimalist cabin and handy hatch into a slick, aerodynamic package that feels more Silicon Valley gadget than garage ornament. It’s an ideal pick for buyers who want effortless electric driving, regular software improvements and access to Tesla’s convenient charging network, though style-conscious shoppers should know it’s more about tech and efficiency than classic luxury.
