I drove the Tesla Model Y and found 7 reasons to buy Elon Musk's $66,000 electric SUV over rivals
The SUV's crisp and feature-packed touchscreen makes it a tech-lover's paradise.
Practically everything in the vehicle is controlled through the super-responsive display, which includes whimsical features like , a digital whoopee cushion for pranking passengers, and a web browser. Sentry Mode surveils the area around your parked car and records if it senses something fishy. Moreover, Tesla frequently tweaks capabilities through software updates, just like you'd get on a smartphone. Some people may be repelled by the idea of relying on a digital interface for basic functions like the A/C and windshield wipers. That's understandable. But for anyone interested in a car that's sort of like an iPhone on wheels, a Tesla is tough to beat.
The Model Y has a flat floor, which increases legroom. And its tall glass roof adds to the sense of openness and boosts headroom. Between bonus areas like an under-floor bin and frunk , the Model Y offers loads of storage space before you even get to the regular cargo area. In all, the Y has 76.2 cubic feet of usable storage space with the back seats folded, more than most rivals.
