2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range pricing and features

The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD is now available to order with first Australian deliveries expected between May-June 2023.

With twin-motor AWD, a claimed 0-100km/h sprint of 5.0 seconds, 533km WLTP driving range, and an $81,900 (before on-road costs and luxury car tax) starting price, the Long Range AWD sits between the base Standard Range, and flagship Performance trims.

The Long Range adds a handy 79km of driving range over the base car, and 19km compared to the rapid Performance, using a 75kWh (according to typically accurate EV Database) NCM battery pack.

Compared to the same spec Model 3 Sedan (that offers 13km more range), the Model Y medium SUV commands an extra $8000.

Like the other Model Ys, the Long Range AWD features DC fact-charging capability up to 250kW, allowing it to climb from 10-80 per cent in 27 minutes at a V3 Supercharger or public 350kW station.

The Long Range’s feature list reads very closely to the standard car and Performance, with little to distinguish the variant from its stablemates save for a small ‘Dual Motor’ badge.

Tesla offers the same five colours for the Long Range, with optional 20-inch ‘Induction’ wheels ($2400) and black and white upholstery ($1500). Enhanced Auto-Pilot ($5100) and Full-Self Driving ($10,100) are available too.

With the addition of the Chinese-built Long Range AWD, Tesla's Model Y line-up now offers a variant to suit most tastes and budgets.

It also gives the Model Y greater ability to compete with legacy manufacturers’ options in the space, such as the Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD ($87,590), Hyundai Ioniq 5 Epiq AWD ($85,000), and Polestar 2 twin-motor ($74,300), and forthcoming Ford Mustang Mach-E.
