This particular variant, equipped with a 75 kWh battery pack and dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) system, delivers a balance of performance, range, and efficiency, making it a popular choice in the rapidly growing electric vehicle market. Production of this specific configuration continued through 2025, establishing it as a significant model within Tesla’s early production years.

Tesla Model Y Long Range: An Overview

The Model Y Long Range is designed to appeal to a broad audience seeking a versatile and environmentally conscious vehicle. It directly competes with other compact luxury SUVs, but distinguishes itself through its fully electric powertrain, advanced technology features, and Tesla’s Supercharger network. The vehicle’s design prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency, contributing to its impressive range and performance. The Model Y’s success is also tied to Tesla’s brand image and its commitment to innovation in the automotive industry.

Engine & Performance

The Model Y Long Range utilizes a dual-motor, all-wheel drive (AWD) powertrain. This configuration employs two independent electric motors – one driving the front axle and one driving the rear axle. The front motor produces 200 horsepower, while the rear motor generates 275 horsepower, resulting in a combined system output of 351 horsepower. This power is delivered instantly, providing brisk acceleration. The system generates 527 Nm (388.7 lb.-ft.) of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes approximately 5 seconds, and 0 to 60 mph is achieved in 4.8 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 217 km/h (134.84 mph). The weight-to-power ratio is 5.6 kg/Hp, or 177.4 Hp/tonne, and the weight-to-torque ratio is 3.8 kg/Nm, or 266.3 Nm/tonne. The powertrain architecture is a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), relying solely on electricity for propulsion.

Design & Features

The Tesla Model Y is a five-door SUV crossover, typically seating five passengers, with an optional seven-seat configuration available. Its exterior design emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency, featuring a sleek profile and a sloping roofline. The interior is minimalist and modern, dominated by a large central touchscreen that controls most vehicle functions. Key features include Tesla’s Autopilot system, over-the-air software updates, and access to the Tesla Supercharger network. Safety features are comprehensive, including automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and collision avoidance assist. The vehicle’s spacious interior and generous cargo capacity (854-2041 liters / 30.16-72.08 cu. ft.) contribute to its practicality. The battery pack is located beneath the floor, contributing to a low center of gravity and improved handling.
