Exterior Design
In the early days of Model S, Tesla might be afraid that users would not be able to adapt to it for a while, so it “painted” a grille on the front of the car, which is closed and purely serves as a visual modification. By the time the Model Y was launched, people were already familiar with electric cars, so Tesla no longer drew a grille, and the entire front end is very simple and integrated, trying to draw a line with fuel cars, leaving only a narrow air intake underneath, to provide a way to exchange air inside the car.
The headlights on the Model Y resemble a triangular shape, and it’s interesting to note that while most cars have banded daytime running lights, Tesla doesn’t, as the Model Y’s running lights are sliced and placed above, which is quite chic, if you don’t say so yourself.
The SUV in the electric car era is actually a thankless task, after a certain speed, most of the power will be consumed in the fight against wind resistance, but the global consumers are very fond of SUV models, so the coupe SUV has become a compromise choice.Model Y’s side lines are more fluent, the effect of rounded sliding back model sports, while the wind resistance coefficient is also achieved the level of the sedan.
Hidden door handles give the side body more unity, while also reducing wind resistance a touch, and the low wind resistance coefficient has it to its credit.
The Model Y’s wheels are shaped like a vortex fan, and it’s easy to see that rims on EVs are generally a bit denser than on traditional gasoline cars, which is also done to reduce wind resistance and reduce airflow that collects near the tires.
The rear of the Model Y is tight and full, with a slightly upturned ducktail. The overall effect is “sexy”, especially with the roof window spreading out like a waterfall, and “unity” is once again the main theme of the design.
Interior Design
The exterior’s subtraction of the grille and hidden door handles is only an appetizer for the Model Y’s interior, which is a goodbye to the old days, with the removal of the century-old instrument panel, the hiding of the air conditioning vents, and the cleanliness of the center console, which is dominated by a 15-inch center screen – a simple design approach. This kind of simplicity has become a collective feature of new-energy vehicles.
The designers didn’t seem to like the steering wheel’s multifunction buttons, either, and ultimately simplified the Model Y’s steering wheel buttons into two round buttons that provide up/down, left/right, and confirm functions.
The traditional transmission structure takes up too much space, and even with electronic shifting, there has to be a place for it near the center armrest. So the Model Y uses a pocket gear structure – not a new thing, it’s found on many fuel cars. You see, Musk isn’t totally against fuel cars, but perhaps he was inspired by the pocket gears in the Chevy pickup trucks he rode in as a kid.
Apart from the physical buttons on the steering wheel, you’ll be hard pressed to find almost any other buttons, with most of the functions integrated into this large center screen – not a big deal, after all, we’ve all been through the transition from Nokia to iPhone, and youngsters should be able to pick it up pretty quickly. If you can’t, you can also control some basic operations through voice recognition.
The pursuit of technology in electric cars is nothing to be ashamed of, but the designer is more absolute, set up a faux wood grain trim in the center console, all of a sudden and the car’s technological atmosphere in stark contrast to the original wood stripes with the minimalist style, the visual effect is surprisingly unexpected harmony. In other words, the interior of the Model Y is a bit cold without the wood grain panel, but warmer with it.
As an electric car that goes for a minimalist look, the Model Y’s seats are also sharply styled, and the diamond grille texture used to create a sense of luxury on fuel cars probably won’t be seen on a Tesla model in this lifetime. Because of the EV, the rear floor is purely flat, a rare perk of the fuel-car era. The overhead panoramic sunroof is also sizable, which is of course a welcome sight for domestic consumers.
Power
The Model Y is available in three power trims, with the most explosive performance being the Performance all-wheel drive version, which pushes the 2-tonne big guy from zero to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The longest range is the Long Range all-wheel drive version, which reaches 640km.
