The 2022 Tesla Model Y is a battery-electric SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Performance is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Performance version develops 462 hp and 639 Nm (471 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 3.7 seconds, which is seriously quick. Top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph). Its power output is about 48% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 42% quicker 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 75.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 487 km (303 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 16.1 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 250 kW. Its listed range is about 6% above 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 2,003 kg (4,416 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 power, while price stands 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.
