Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

2026 Tesla Model Y review
Tesla Model Y: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review
8.5/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Tesla Model Y sits near the top of its class. Easy to see out of and park; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Price climbs fast with options and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $45,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.
