Charging
The Tesla Model Y can rapid charge at up to 125 kW. On a 7 kW home wallbox, a full charge from empty takes roughly 11 hours for the largest battery, although most day-to-day top-ups take far less time. See charging times and public charging costs.
Battery and warranty
The sources we used do not name the battery chemistry for this car. Ask the dealer, as it affects how the battery should be charged day to day. See battery types explained. Tesla gives a 4-year brand warranty in our data; the battery warranty may be different, so check the terms.
Space and towing
It has 5 seats and a boot of about 971 litres. It is rated to tow up to 1600 kg in our data. Towing cuts range a lot, so allow extra margin. See electric cars for towing.
Electric Car Grant
It was not on the published Electric Car Grant list when we checked in September 2026. The seller applies the grant as a discount. Confirm the exact version and price before you order. See the Electric Car Grant and EV tax.
Reliability
Reliability scores come from the Warrantywise Reliability Index, which uses data from used cars, so many new models do not have a score yet. See the Tesla page and the Index explained.
