Why it stands out

The 2021 Tesla Model Y stands out as a compact luxury crossover that blends electric performance with unusual practicality. It was based on the Tesla Model 3 and shared 70% to 75% of its parts, but it was slightly longer, wider, and notably taller, with coupe-like SUV styling and a rear hatch that added versatility. That shape gave it lots of space, and the cabin carried the same basic design theme inside and out. Buyers also got generous standard equipment from the start, including 12-way power-adjustable seats, a 15-inch infotainment touchscreen that doubles as a gauge cluster, heated front and rear seats, reclining rear seats, a glass roof, four USB ports, video streaming capability, a top speed of 240 km/h, and Tesla’s Autopilot system.

It was also appealing because it came with standard AWD and two electric motors, and it was offered in Long Range and Performance forms. The Long Range model was rated at about 509 kilometres of range, while the Performance model was estimated at 468 to 507 kilometres depending on wheel size. Cargo space was another strength, with under-floor storage in the rear and a front trunk, and available extras included larger wheels, a tow hitch with a 1,587-kilogram tow rating, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) capability, and Smart Summon. On the downside, the Model Y lacked Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, had a firm ride, and put almost all controls through the touchscreen.

For 2021 specifically, Tesla switched from radar-based driver-assistance hardware to a camera-based system called Tesla Vision. That same year also brought optional third-row seating, a heated steering wheel, dual-pane front windows for noise reduction, and a new lower-priced Standard Range RWD model with a single electric motor and an estimated 394 kilometres of range, though that version did not reach the Canadian market until 2024. Owners of the 2021 Model Y also tend to praise its electric character, advanced technology, and engaging driving feel, even if some note the high price and the learning curve of the interface.
