While other manufacturers are converting production from fuel-powered vehicles to electricity, Tesla started from scratch, and has a big head start. The Tesla Model Y shows that an electric car can hold a lot.

Tesla Model Y long range – the answer to range?
For a long time, the Achilles heel of electric cars has been their limited range. The lack of charging points has not helped. But now this is changing. With the Tesla Model Y long range, under optimal conditions, you can go as far as 533 km, or just over 50 miles.
This is roughly equivalent to the Stockholm-Helsingborg route, or Hamburg and Frankfurt.
Not bad at all in other words. Because how many people with low fuel consumption cars are forced to go to the pump on such a route? In fact, most people with cars that rival the Tesla Model Y in size and performance would have had to stop to refuel, or at least ease off the gas considerably to make it on one tank. The Tesla Model Y Preformance reaches almost as far, about 510 km.
How does the Tesla Model Y fare in tests?
So how does a Tesla Model Y fare in tests? For a long time, Tesla has been the leader in the electric car category, but in recent years, competitors are slowly catching up. Major German carmakers Audi, BMW and Mercedes are among those tipped to be the biggest threats in the short term, in terms of traditional carmakers. But even compared to fossil fuel vehicles, the Tesla Model Y is a strong card.
With the Tesla Model Y, Tesla is setting a new standard for space in electric cars. The Tesla Model Y boot, for example, is very well proportioned. From an economic point of view, it is also favourable. The Tesla Model Y is priced from SEK 689,000, which is quite affordable, not least given the low cost of charging compared to petrol or diesel costs. We also price the Tesla Model Y from a purely environmental point of view, anything else would be a mistake.
How is the Model Y of Tesla in comfort and interior?
The Tesla Model Y interior is also something that speaks for the car. With its sleek design, it appeals to many, not least those responsible for keeping the car clean inside. The Tesla Model Y has a generously proportioned rear seat and five people can sit comfortably, even with a fully loaded boot. In other words, a Tesla Model Y can pass a classic Swedish test in the form of a ski trip, whether you’re thinking of Sälen/Åre or want to head to the Austrian, Italian or French Alps.
The car can carry skis, equipment and clothes, and yes, you’ll have room for a few cases of good wine on the way home too. Plus, you’ll all be comfortable during the journey. As the number of charging points increases in both Sweden and Europe, the risk of having to wait a long time to charge is also reduced. There’s a good chance you’ll discharge the charge when you stop to eat or sleep.
Benefit value of Tesla Model Y and overall economy
As we have seen, the Tesla Y has a good price, and unsurprisingly, the value for money is also very good. It’s no wonder that many business owners and company car drivers choose Tesla, as the overall price of the Tesla Model Y is so low compared to other cars. Earlier fears that the Tesla Model Y here in Sweden would have problems with the cold in winter have also come to nothing so far.
When we also find out that it is possible to order an additional towbar package and thus get your Tesla Model Y with a towbar, the last scepticism of many Swedish motorists will disappear. The towbar has a special status among Swedish drivers. No other country has so many cars with towbars. So in summary, the Tesla Model Y is a car that stands up well to the competition in terms of performance, space and economy. Shouldn’t you swing by your nearest Tesla dealer next time it’s time to change your ride?
