The Tesla Model Y is a battery-electric compact crossover SUV built on the Model 3 platform, with which it shares roughly three quarters of its components. It uses the same minimalist cabin layout — a single 15.0-inch landscape touchscreen in place of an instrument cluster and almost all switchgear — but adds a taller roofline, a hatchback tailgate and noticeably more cargo volume than the sedan. A fixed panoramic glass roof, a front trunk and flush door handles are standard across the range.
U.S. Model Y variants are offered as single-motor rear-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive, the latter pairing a front induction motor with a rear internal-permanent-magnet motor that can be disengaged when its output is not needed. Battery packs have ranged from roughly 60 to 81 kWh usable, using 2170 nickel-based cells on Long Range and Performance versions and LFP or 4680 structural packs on later standard-range builds. The Model Y was also the first Tesla to use a heat pump rather than resistive heating for cabin warmth, which reduces cold-weather range loss.
