Tesla Model Y
The Tesla Model Y is a tech‑forward family SUV that marries blistering efficiency with enormous interior space, calm motorway manners and the obvious convenience of Tesla’s charging ecosystem and over‑the‑air updates. Its minimalist, screen‑centric cabin and rather firm ride — plus limited rear visibility and the absence of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto — are trade‑offs that will bother buyers who prioritise comfort or traditional ergonomics.
