Trim Compare
Updated: September 2026 · Model Y Juniper (US)
| Trim | Best for | Range | Why pick it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model Y | First Tesla, cargo + weekends | ~321 mi | Simplest Y. Hatch space is the must-have; add wheels or FSD (Supervised) later. |
| Model Y AWD | Weather grip on a budget | ~294 mi | Dual-motor rain/snow without the Premium spend. Shortest-range Y. |
| Premium RWD | Most miles per charge | ~357 mi | Sweet spot for most families — longest range without the Performance tax. |
| Premium AWD | All-weather family Y | ~327 mi | Dual-motor comfort plus the cabin most buyers expect. 7-seat option lives here. |
| L Premium | More seats, longer wheelbase | ~332 mi | People-mover first. Skip if you want sport or a shorter Y. Confirm L in Studio. |
| Performance | The drive is the point | ~306 mi | Sharpest Y. Skip if you want max calm or max seats. |
EPA-style estimates; larger wheels usually cut a chunk of range. Confirm on tesla.com / Design Studio.
When to Pick
- Model Y — Hatch space is the must-have; entry config already fits. RWD for efficiency; AWD for weather.
- Premium — Standard-wheelbase Y with the cabin most family buyers expect.
- L Premium — Seating and wheelbase win. Not for sport. If L isn’t in Studio, it may not be in your market.
- Performance — Sharpest Y drive. Skip if you want max calm or max seats.
Choose Y for cargo and height. Choose Model 3 for a lower sedan. Truck bed: Cybertruck.
Pick this if hatch space, kids, or a higher sit is the must-have. Skip this if you want a lower sedan and max efficiency — see 3 vs Y.
