Video Summary
Here is the requested summary:The Model Y is now an excellent deal due to the availability of federal tax credits. Both Tesla models start with the longest range options. The Model Y's base model range is almost identical to the Model 3. The range difference is so minor that it is likely not noticeable.
Driving speed and the outside temperature will impact driving range to a greater extent.
Several differences make the Model Y worth the extra cost, such as the presence of a front bumper camera. The Model 3 does not have a front bumper camera, regardless of trim. Eventually, the Model Y's bumper camera will enable full birds-eye view via over-the-air updates.
The Model Y also has wiper fluid for that camera. It has greater storage in the back and in the frunk, which also has a drainage hole.
Both have similar interiors and technologies. The Model Y includes a premium sound system, while the base Model 3 has a partial premium sound system.
In the Model Y, one can automatically fold down the second row seats.
While the Model 3 has lower APR offers for financing, one must get the all-wheel drive version, increasing the price. Overall, it is worth purchasing the Model Y despite the slightly higher price because you get higher ground clearance and a better suspension.
Due to the current price adjustments, federal tax credit, refresh, and additional features, the Model Y is, in general, recommended over the Model 3. The Y is considered future-proof, with the towhitch feature as an option.
Currently, Tesla only offers autonomous features for the refreshed Model Y. The Y has overall great efficiency and better acoustics on the interior compared to the Model 3. There is a strong possibility that in the coming months, Tesla will offer lower APR rates for the Y, even for the rear-wheel drive.
