Deciding between the Model 3 and Model Y? We'll help highlight the differences between Tesla's two most affordable, and very similar, cars.
Tesla has a bit of a head start on the competition. Say what you will about panel gaps and its CEO, there’s no denying that Tesla made the electric car cool — and all in the pursuit of making them affordable enough to mass produce. And, while its lowest-priced cars aren’t cheap, Tesla largely achieved that goal.
Related The Model 3 is a sedan, with a closed trunk at the back and a relatively low ride compared to some other EVs — especially the larger crossovers. The exterior design in general is relatively minimalistic, with slanted headlights at the front and a curved roofline. Ultimately, it’s hard to award one of these a “win” in the design category; it’s strictly a matter of preference.Interior and tech The interiors of the cars are also very similar. As mentioned, the Model Y has more storage than the Model 3 — 34.3 cubic-feet versus 22.9. The storage space does shrink considerably if you buy a seven-seat Model Y, down to 17 cubic feet.
The cars have the same overall interior experience, but the Model Y scores a win here by offering more space on the inside, along with an option for a third row of seats.Performance The level of performance on offer from these two cars is pretty similar, too. The base Model 3 is a rear-wheel drive car, though there are two all-wheel drive variants: The Model 3 Long range and Model 3 Performance. The base Model 3 can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.
