The 2022 Tesla Model Y is a battery-electric SUV with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Standard Range is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Standard Range version develops 272 hp and 343 Nm (253 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.9 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 217 km/h (135 mph). Its power output is about 13% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 9% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 60.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 430 km (267 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.6 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 170 kW. Its listed range is about 6% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,751 mm (187.0 in) in length, 1,920 mm (75.6 in) in width, and 1,624 mm (63.9 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,890 mm (113.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 854 litres (30.2 cu ft), expanding to 1,842 litres (65.0 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,909 kg (4,209 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,600 kg (3,527 lb). That cargo volume is about 51% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Standard Range, Long Range, and Performance. Across the range, the specifications span 272 hp to 462 hp, 3.7 s to 6.9 s, and 430 km to 533 km, while listed starting prices run from $44,990-$62,990. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2022 Tesla Model Y is strongest on cargo capacity and price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
