Model Y Premium RWD (Juniper - Tesla 4680)

The Tesla Model Y Premium RWD (Juniper - Tesla 4680) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £48,990. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.6 seconds, quicker than 62% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 289 miles (465 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 65% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 61st of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.9 mi/kWh (159 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 74 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 90 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 357 miles (575 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £170 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).
