What the New Tesla Battery Pack Is About.Tested: 2020 Tesla Model Y Is Quick but Clumsy.The SUV body creates a higher center of gravity, which dulls the sharp edge of the Model 3's handling, and the Y's ride is considerably rougher over road imperfections as well. While the Model Y offers impressive acceleration, it doesn't deliver the same level of driving satisfaction as the Model 3. The Performance model delivered an even quicker 3.6-second blast to 60 mph in our testing. Thanks to a generous Car and Driver reader, we were able to test an all-wheel-drive Long Range, which zipped from zero-to-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, a mere 0.4 second behind our long-term Model 3 sedan. No loss there the Model Y's Long Range and Performance models are more compelling than a Standard Range trim anyway and the new base model that's coming has the same dual-motor all-wheel drive setup as the other two. The Model Y lineup no longer includes a Standard Range rear-wheel drive cost-leader trim. Those seeking the optional third row of seats can add them for an additional $3000. There are few ways to customize your Model Y, and only five colors for the exterior-three of which cost extra. We'd go with the Long Range, which maximizes driving range while offering plenty of performance. Buying an electric car is all about driving range, and the Long Range and Performance models offer 330 and 303 miles of range, respectively.
