The 2026 Tesla Model Y, a compact SUV from the pioneers of electrical technology, is considered a significant part of the automaker's lineup. Based on the Model 3 chassis, it's available in Long Range and Performance versions, both with dual-motor all-wheel drive. Aided by a 10.9" touchscreen, music streaming, and navigation, the Model Y's infotainment system streamlines the driver-vehicle interface. With projected EPA ranges of over 300 miles for the Long Range and up to 280 miles for the Performance trims, it exemplifies Tesla's mastery of EV technology. The latter also boasts a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds. Safety features include Standard Autopilot, offering features such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and pedestrian detection. The model year updates aren't yet known, but customers expect Tesla to incorporate the latest technology and performance enhancements.
