Introducing the Partastar

Overview

Nearly five years after the first Model Y deliveries began, we have launched the new Model Y: A redesigned version of the world’s best-selling vehicle with a more premium exterior, upgraded interior and numerous engineering improvements that help to maximize efficiency and comfort.

Highlights

The comprehensive redesign has improved cabin quietness. Road noise was reduced by 22%, impact noise by 20% and wind noise by 20%. This ride quietness is achieved not only through vehicle systems and engineering innovations, but also with the help of materials like acoustic glass incorporated throughout the vehicle.

New Model Y also has 5% higher rated range with the same battery energy and more comfortable ride handling compared to the previous, in part due to meticulously engineered improvements like new low-friction lubrication fluid, optimized gear grinding, reduced brake drag and improved tire rolling resistance. The AWD trim now has a 320mi EPA est. range and a 4.1s 0 to 60 time. In addition, the already impressive electric vehicle architecture has been transferred to this version, keeping the underlying battery technology unchanged.

Both ride comfort and quietness are improved while still retaining the Tesla signature agility and handling thanks to new chassis hardware including a stiffer body structure, redesigned suspension geometry and kinematics, and damping technology borrowed from Upgraded Model 3.
