Overview

The Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2021.

The Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…) has a 60 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 237 mi on a single charge — ranked №437 out of 858 electric vehicles.

Tesla stopped selling the Model Y Standard Range RWD in the United States in May 2024.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 220 kW (295 hp) of power and 310 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 6.6 seconds (№50 out of 118 ranked positions, among 858 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 135 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…) is 237 miles, ranking it №131 out of 254 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…) in the USA is equipped with a Tesla (NACS) charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11.5 kW, which translates to roughly 43 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 175 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…) comes in the following dimensions:

Length: 187 in
Width: 83.8 in (including side mirrors) or #WIDTH_WO_MIRRORS_VALUE# in (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 63.9 in
Wheelbase: 113.8 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 4154 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)

How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…), you'll find 30.2 cubic feet of storage space (№23 out of 158 ranked positions, among 858 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 72.1 cubic feet (№35 out of 182 ranked positions, among 858 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).

Frunk capacity: The front trunk is called a "frunk", and it offers an additional 4.1 cubic feet for storing small items.

Is it suitable for towing? What is the maximum towing capacity?

The Tesla Model Y Standard Range RWD (2021-…) can safely tow up to 3500 lbs, provided that the trailer has its own braking system.
