Is The Tesla Model Y The Ideal First EV For Most Buyers?

This is the theory this E For Electric video defends.

Saying the Tesla Model Y will succeed because it is a crossover is no longer enough. It is obvious that having an affordable product in a relevant market segment makes a difference. That said, what does the new Tesla have to make it a true success? Two youtubers think it will do really well not only to EV clients. Alex Guberman, from E For Electric, and Eli Burton, from My Tesla Adventure, believe it can be the ideal first EV for many. 

The video above explains that. It starts with the obvious but gets more deeply into the reasons for that belief. The most important one is that the Model Y is a roomy vehicle. 

While the Model 3 was the most affordable Tesla, it did not offer enough space for a lot of families’ needs. You name it: sports – listen well, soccer moms – trips… People need to carry a lot of stuff around, and the Model 3 just did not offer them the necessary roominess.

The second aspect for the Model Y’s expected success is affordability. According to Guberman, Kelley Blue Book says most new car purchases are in the range of $35,000 to $36,000. That is more or less what a Model Y will cost. And that is just the start of the advantages of buying an EV brings.
