Tesla Model Y is far ahead in sales and the selling price is not cheap at all.
Tesla has a great reputation, but it is controversial. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad. Everyone has different opinions. Domestic news has negative news about Tesla every year, but most people still like Tesla’s cars, so the sales volume has not decreased, and there is even an upward trend, which is quite surprising. In 2023, Model Y sold a total of 456,000 vehicles in China. BYD did not dare to touch porcelain.
In 2024, the sales volume of Model Y continued to grow, with a monthly sales volume of more than 30,000 and over 40,000 in recent months, which means that BYD Qin PLUS can compete with Tesla. As can be seen from the data, the sales volume of Model Y is very high, and the price of this car is not cheap, and it is sold according to the manufacturer’s guidance price. The price of most consumers buying a car is around 300,000. Some people say that the sales of Model Y will reach a new high in the second half of this year, because there will be six models, and the official has already rumored that there will be no six. Let’s take a look at the current car.
In terms of appearance, Tesla’s car is similar in design, but it looks good anyway, and the body is like a one-piece cut. The front face is a closed grille design, but the concave shape shows the outline of the grille, with sharp lines and a sense of movement. The lamp group is located on the hood, with sharp shape and Tesla logo in the middle, which is highly recognizable. There is a big black mouth at the bottom, the front lip is prominent, and the whole front face smells like a sports car, which is in line with the aesthetics of most Chinese people.
Viewed from the side, the silver body is a bit like a mech, with a prominent waistline and a hidden door handle. Is the roof a slip-back design or a sense of movement? The hub of the new car adopts a spoke structure with red calipers inside, which is very radical for a big car. The tail is still of conventional design. It is said that the new car is a penetrating taillight, but the current car is still designed separately, with a large area of blank space at the bottom, which is not monotonous in perception. The size of the new car is 4750*1921*1624mm and the wheelbase is 2890 mm. As a medium-sized car, the size is quite satisfactory.
In the interior part, the interior design of the new car is relatively simple, there is no physical button on the center console, and bright materials are added to make it look fashionable. The round steering wheel is heavy, so nobody likes the special-shaped steering wheel. They are all genuine leather, support four-way adjustment, and are equipped with electronic pocket design, which is a little fun to drive. In terms of technology, this car has a large LCD screen, which is 15 inches, and it looks very atmospheric. In terms of functions, it supports speech recognition and remote control of mobile APP, and can diagnose the condition of vehicles by itself. The seat is made of imitation leather, supports lumbar support adjustment, can be heated, and is very comfortable to ride.
Low-profile models only have rear motors, with a motor power of 220kw and a torque of 440 N m. There are motors before and after the middle-high models. The total power of the middle-high models is 331kw and 357kw, and the torque is 559N·m and 659N·m, respectively. The low-profile battery Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited has a capacity of 60 degrees, while the medium-high-profile battery LG New Energy has a capacity of 78.4 degrees, and its battery life is 554km, 688km and 615km respectively.
Generally speaking, expensive does have the advantage of being expensive. Low-equipped models are not only inferior in battery, but also slightly different in configuration materials. Consumers with high budgets suggest buying medium-equipped models.
