Tesla Model Y

A new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has revealed that most mid-size SUVs lack good protection for rear occupants in frontal crashes.

For 2023, the Rivian R1T has the highest overall owner satisfaction in its first year of eligibility — a spot Tesla claimed in both 2021 and 2022.

IIHS has released its list of Top Safety Picks for 2023, which includes 48 models across both Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ categories — less than half compared to the 101 models that qualified in 2022.

As expected, electric driving range was devastated in zero-degree temperatures, but the cold weather affected more than just range.

The updated guidance means that the Cadillac Lyriq, Ford Mustang Mach-E and two-row Tesla Model Y are now classified as SUVs and qualify for EV tax credits.

All used Tesla models saw a steady drop in average prices among Cars.com dealer inventory over the last six months.

While our Tesla Model Y’s range certainly dropped in colder temperatures, it didn’t fall off a cliff; more like it tumbled down a berm.

To bolster sagging sales, clear inventory, requalify specific models for a tax rebate and boost stock price, Tesla just cut pricing on every one of its new models.

Tesla is offering shoppers a substantial discount on its two bestselling EVs, the Model 3 and Model Y, but only through the end of 2022.

With EVs, when the temps drop, driving range drops — sometimes by a lot. It’s important to understand your EV’s range limitations and the need to charge more often in cold weather.
