Description

Nearly four years and 40,000 miles later, our 2020 Tesla Model Y Performance is leaving the Edmunds long-term test fleet. We’ve done just about everything with our Model Y — including racing it in our U-Drags series — and, for the most part, it’s been pretty reliable. That said, we certainly had our fair share of issues, too. In this long-term test wrap-up video, the Edmunds editorial team debriefs our experience with the Tesla Model Y.

As a 2022 Model 3 owner, I think for anyone who drives less than 250 miles per day and can charge at home, the Model 3 or Model Y are very good cars for the money and probably the best EV's you can buy. If you can’t charge at home, just make sure superchargers are available in the areas you travel. If you have a Tesla store in your area, you can always make an appointment to test drive one. They do not pressure you to buy anything and it will answer any questions you have about EV ownership and daily use.

Keeping our long-term Tesla Model Y for a few extra years turned out to be a great move, as we got to thoroughly test its performance and battery capacity to see how four years and 40,000 miles have affected its speed and range. Have you also owned an EV for several years now? We'd love to hear how the years have treated your vehicles. Let us know in the comments below!

I'm in love with my 24 MY Performance and I can say that it's extremely well-built

What a good follow up video. One note on the range loss is I believe EVs generally have a high fall off early then steady out. I doubt you guys see same level of loss in a future test.

Informative comparison over time. I also very much enjoy the phraseology you use and the clarity of your voice. Nice job!

My roommate had a 2021 Y with the same sunvisor issue. Mobile service replaced it for free.
