Model Y

Musk's compact SUV

Model Y is Tesla's compact electric SUV, introduced in 2020 as a crossover companion to the Model 3 sedan.

It shares most components with the Model 3 but offers more cargo space and an optional third row.

The Model Y quickly became one of the world's best-selling vehicles: We test-drove a Model Y last weekend.

Tesla's lineup—Model S, 3, X, Y—was designed to spell "sexy."
