"On one hand, you're probably thinking, Why the hell is the Model Y still an InsideEVs Breakthrough Awards Editor's Choice? Because, despite all that controversy and its slipping sales globally, people are still buying the things in droves for good reason. Yes, it's a fact that Tesla's suffering from sinking salesbut it's still leading the global EV market by a huge margin."
"The Tesla Model Y is the car that has made the concept of EV ownership mainstream. No matter the folly of Elon Musk lately, the whole EV industry would not look the way it does without the Tesla Model Y. It held the record for being the best-selling car around the world for a reason; no other single EV nameplate has come close to this car's dominance."
"I'm going to go ahead and say it: what happens online doesn't always necessarily square up with what's actually going on in real life. Yes, we all know that Elon Musk's political opinions are controversial to say the least, with the world's richest man often spouting racist right-wing conspiracy theories that have had tangible effects on the American people and our domestic policy."
Tesla's Model Y has driven mainstream EV adoption and still leads global electric vehicle sales despite recent sales declines. Tesla's U.S. model lineup has seen only mild updates that have not significantly advanced its competitive position. Controversial statements by CEO Elon Musk have caused public and policy repercussions, yet consumer demand for the Model Y remains strong. The Model Y's dominance is nearly unmatched worldwide, with the Xiaomi YU7 only recently challenging it and only in China. Sales strength, practical range, competitive pricing, and widespread consumer acceptance contribute to the Model Y's continued market leadership. Specs include an 82 kWh battery, up to 357 miles range, and prices from about $41,630 to $59,130.
