What car awards: Model 3 #1 but model Y #10

Everything including Skoda and Kia Soul beat model Y. Why such hatred towards model Y.

A MY is just a jacked up version of a M3. Doesnt have much else to offer.

You've never actually been in and driven one then?

i just wonder, how, apart of size and weight, it's different from M3?

it has a hatch back and a big boot. That is quite a big difference to many people and the sole reason I am getting one

So you haven't then, or you'd already know.

It's a got a hatch-style boot which leads to considerably more space. More room in the back of the car for passengers. Higher driving position. Harsher ride than the Model 3.

Your statement basically suggests that a Renault Zoe is the same as a Model 3.

I far prefer the model Y to the LR3 I had previously, even on 20 inch wheels. It might be a bit firm, but it’s rapid for an suv.

Why are the Hyundai Ionic 5 and the Kia EV6 in different categories?

Excellent question

It's notable that there's a ~£100k BMW iX on the list too. Not sure how fair it is to compare cars that are double the price against others.

Today's usage figure from a model Y. 225 Wh/mile (4.46 miles/kWh). Let's find another SUV that can match such an efficiency.

225wh/mi took some hard work on someone’s part.

I think it's as much about the difference between the M3 and the MY. For the M3 to be No1 overall but the MY to be 10th in SUVs either they really really hate the suspension or it seems to make no sense. And if they hate it that much then that's a bit worrying ( I have one on order). I appreciate some people here have agreed that the suspension is that bad so maybe it is fair enough but its definitely worthy of a discussion.

It also speak volumes about how the M3, at its previousx5 price, was and is the ev to own in that parenthetical price range. I feel like the Model Y could/should be offered with air suspension as a ~$1,500-$2,000 option. It would be a game changer for comfort, even for range, and of course for better ground clearance when you need it. Bring on the $75,000 Model Y

so... size. ok, gotcha.

no, m3 over zoe have different things, i.e. charging speed, interior, performance, all multimedia and stuff.

what I really see in Y is just bigger model 3. higher, ok, different boot shape (yay!!!), but internally, it looks the same.

dunno, just my 2p

I have a Nov 2021 Model 3SR+ and a 2022 Model YLR with inductions.
I'm perplexed by negative comments about ride, noise and rattles in the Y.
Sure, the Y is firmer than the 3SR but not at all crashy (since I dropped the tyre pressures from 50+!).

The Suspension is terrible the car was rushed out the door

I have and i would not recommend it unless you need the space or can't afford a used model x

It's all in the foot. On a warm day, a chill drive uses ~200Wh/mi most of the time.

141% efficiency over 1.3 miles as a proof text for 168wh/mi… hmmm. Above 100% efficiency means you’re on a negative slope, unless you’re supplying 41% of the energy used in real time.

When I drive home one-way from Red Box to Pasadena, it’s several thousand feet elevation loss, and I gain several kWh en route. If you didn’t look at my kWh used to get up there, you’d think my car has infinite range, as in exceeding 100% efficiency.

We all have the same handful of cars and there’s this standout group who claims to supersede all previous estimates and physics and even logic itself. With a MY, M3, Bolt, i3, MS in the household and spouses household, if I believed the stuff I read from forum users I’d have all the cars in service to achieve the same. There’s always a catch, though. 141% efficiency or 20mph top speed or driving down a slope. Meh.

I am also completely perplexed

Take it you have 0 pot holes

It's an example. I didn't take the same route for the return journey, unfortunately. Previously, I had a Nissan Leaf and must have taken that route a lot of times and never even once saw that kind of usage figure.
