The Tesla Model Y has been the best-selling electric car for several years, and the company has now updated it with fresh styling, an upgraded interior and more comfortable suspension. Is it still the electric car to buy?

 

Shall we talk about you-know-who? Actually, let’s not. Whatever you think of the company’s figurehead, the Tesla Model Y is an influential car that has topped a bunch of best-seller lists over the past few years.

The headline news of the Model Y ‘Juniper’ are the styling changes and some comfort upgrades. Let's take a look in the video above:

If Musk hadn't toxified the brand for so many people, the Model Y would probably be the best selling car in many countries by now.  The Model S is the looker - pity that's no longer available in right-hand drive.
