The 2021 Tesla Model Y's #7 ranking is based on its score within the Luxury Hybrid and Electric SUVs category. Currently the Tesla Model Y has a score of 7.6 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 15 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Quick and agile
Spacious, comfortable seats
Good cargo capacity

Cons
No physical controls for vehicle functions
Poor cabin assembly quality
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto not available

By: 
usnews.com

Introduced, and then discontinued, Standard Range version.Seven-seat configuration now available.

Pros
Plenty of range
Stunning acceleration, especially from the Performance model
Convenient Supercharger network for long-distance driving
Roomy seating front and rear

Cons
No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration
Performance model's overly stiff ride
Optional third row of seats is barely usable

By: 
edmunds.com

Other than the introduction of an optional pair of pop-up third-row jump seats, we aren't forecasting any major design or technology upgrades for the Model Y this year.

Pros
Peppy electric powertrain,
spacious cargo hold,
cutting-edge technology features.

Cons
Chassis isn't as taut as the four-door Model 3,
fit-and-finish needs polish,
too reliant on the touchscreen for simple vehicle settings.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Much faster than you'd expect
Decent battery range
Roomy and comfortable

Cons
Touchscreen could be easier to use
Not cheap to buy
Doesn't handle as well as it goes

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
Design,
overall build quality,
performance,
handling and ride

Cons
Expensive for a ‘small’ SUV,
some of the interior certainly doesn't match the price

By: 
topgear.com

PROS
Trendy design,
powerful electric powertrain,
thoughtful interior storage solutions.

CONS
Some rivals offer more driving range,
heavy and feels like it in corners,
high starting price.
