Which 2022 Tesla Model Y to Buy?
Choose the Long Range 2022 Tesla Model Y trim level, in my opinion. The majority of commuters will find its EPA-estimated range to be more than enough, and even while Tesla advises not draining the battery too much in between charges, it’s still a significant amount. Although the Model Y Performance seems like a pleasure to drive, this does not entirely account for its greater cost.
