Tesla becomes the undisputed king in the market and has no single competitor in market in front of them. The company is progressively getting more demanding in the market. CEO of Tesla Mr. Elon Musk has concentrated on the best calibration of the car Models with the highly anticipated features so that the owners of the car will be able to get a luxurious hi-tech experience for less than you might have expected.
So Model 3 was the most popular car of Tesla and was ranked at the top in the EV market. According to the report of Mr. Musk Tesla, the Model 3 was the highest-paid model of the company. This model was on the top for 2 years and in the 1st quarter of 2022 Model 3 was the highest-selling car in the world. But now the table has turned around and now there is one more model who is the line-up for the competing the Model 3 nonother than Tesla Model Y. And you know what the good thing is that both are Tesla’s model. It means in this race whoever will win Tesla will always be the king in the EV market.
According to a report by Tesla Model Y is become the most popular model in the world in the 2nd quarter of this year 2022. Model Y is the 1st car that beats Model 3 for the first time. After this incident now confusion is created that which car is best to choose. So today we will compare both models and get the conclusion which one is the best and gets the crown of people’s choice.
We will differentiate both with the following points such as:-
- Outlook.
- Battery and range
- Autopilot and another tech
- Power
- Design and interior
- Safety and Security
- Price
- Specification
OUTLOOK
So the first point is outlook. So whenever you want to buy a car you will always prefer the appearance of the car from outside to inside. In this case, if we talk about the Tesla Model 3 so, this car will win easily on the basis of range and performance, if you’re only looking at the numbers. But you have to sacrifice interior space as a result.
But model Y is not far behind in terms of both range and power. With this car, you will get so many benefits owning one is that you can fit a lot more stuff inside. Even Model Y comes with lots of never seen luxuries stuff. Once you will get it you will never be willing to lose it. In Model 3 you have to sacrifice interior space but in Model Y you will get a heated steering wheel which will give you heat in the cold weather. Not even this the car also has foldable seats. But You can still hold a lot in the Model 3’s trunk, but you might want to be mindful of its limitations before you try and fill it with Ikea furniture — even with the back seats folded down.
BATTERY AND RANGE
Course Range is an important part of the car expectations even before buying any car there’s a very obvious that you will correlation with bigger batteries making your car last longer.
RWD Model 3: In Model 3 you will get 288 miles out of battery. According to the previous year’s data, the model was claiming the larger battery with a respective 358 and 315 miles of range. Model 3 has the ability to recharge faster. As the claiming words Tesla, it can regain 175 miles of range in 15 minutes.
Model Y:- According to the testing performance of the Model Y, the car is claiming to offer 330 miles with the Long Range model and 303 miles out of the Performance model. The model has a large design with a small battery system. That’s the sacrifice you have to make for having room to put more stuff (and people) inside your car. Though all variants of the cars can now enjoy the full force of Tesla’s V3 250kW Supercharging network
So Model 3 will be an ideal car if you want to maximize range and optimize recharge time.
AUTOPILOT AND TECh
At this point, Tesla didn’t do any partiality with their models. The autopilot mode is included in both models. Even some special models are there which holds by both models such as basic autonomous steering, acceleration and braking, lane assist, collision warnings, and blind-spot alarms. Even both cars come with a security mode that monitors the surrounding area when the car is unattended, a glass roof shielded from UV and infra-red light, over-the-air updates, and mobile app support. Inside they have the same 15-inch touchscreen control panel, a wireless charging pad, and “advanced climate control”. Both cars are fully self-driving functions in themselves.
But in order to get the “Full Self-Driving package,” you have to pay $12,000, one time and $ 199 a month FSD subscription service. It’s worth reminding people that this isn’t complete Level 5 autonomous driving. Instead, this lets you navigate on freeways, change lanes automatically, automatically park, a summon option, as well as light and stop sign recognition.
The models have the air control quality and the function called fancy HVAC control system. In this system, you can control the flow of the air direction.
POWER
Model 3:Basiclly the power of the car will always depend on the versions of the car you will purchase Model 3 will go from 0-60 in 5.8 seconds, and has a top speed of 150mph. Long Range and Performance manage to get to 60mph in a respective 5.2 and 4.1 seconds, and each has top speeds of 155mph and 172mph. The model comes with an all-wheel drive, and that offers a little bit more oomph if you want long-range and performance models.
Model Y: Well this model is not that satisfied in this matter. However, all models of Tesla come with all-wheel drive and beat the standard Model 3, its acceleration and top speed are lower than the equivalent Model 3. In Model Y there will be chances not to get top speed on a public road due to the high fraction wheels. So Model Y is only a fraction of a second slower than Model 3. According to the driving test report, the Performance manages it in 3.5 seconds and Long Range manages 0-50 in 4.9 seconds.
In short who wants to drag the car on the racing platform car so the Tesla Model 3 will be for them?
DESIGN AND INTERIOR
One thing you have to clear in your mind is that Model 3 is a Sedan on the other hand Model Y is a hatchback SUV. The appearance of the car from the inside will have quite different looks.
Model 3: This sedan base model has a much flatter hood. As you’ll only find 15 cubic feet of rear trunk space so that design comes with some drawbacks. Model 3 has a very much sportier profile and is much sleeker in comparison to Model Y.
Model Y:- According to the appearance of Model Y it is 2.5 inches longer and wider than Model 3 which is why it is notably called a large SUV design even though this Model is 7.8 inches taller than the Model 3. Model Y will be more comfortable in long drives than Model 3 by having a larger design. The Model Y also has an optional tow hitch, which the Model 3 lacks, though it will cost you an extra $1,000.
But except for this, there are few designs of the interior that are the same in both models such as the same glass roof, 15-inch touchscreen control panel, wireless charger, cup holders, power-adjustable seats, and vegan-friendly “softer than leather” interior. Lastly, Tesla updated Model Y with heated rear seats and steering wheel, but now Model 3 is updated and now also has these 2 functions itself. Now it’s very difficult to differentiate both.
PRICE
Model 3:- So according to the reporting Model 3 is the cheapest car in the Tesla portfolio. The latest price of Model 3 is starting from $46,990. If we talk about the Long Range model so you can pick it up for $57,990, and the high-speed Performance model for $62,990. According to Elon Musk single-motor, Cybertruck is now technically cheaper the Model 3 remains an important part of Tesla’s portfolio.
Model y:- Without any doubt, we can say that this point is clearly won by the Model 3 because according to the price comparison of both cars Model Y is more expensive as there’s no ‘standard’ model on sale in the U.S. right now, though it may be coming fairly soon for somewhere around $60,000. If we talk about the Long Range model so you can pick it up for $67,990, and the high-speed Performance model for $69,990.
If you want to be a Tesla owner but with little spending, so you must go for Model 3 because it is $19,000 cheaper than the cheapest Model Y, while the Long Range Model is $8,000 less.

On the other hand Model, Y did exceptionally well, especially for the front passenger, most probably due to its higher sitting position compared to the Model 3.
Conclusion: Model 3 Or Model Y, which one you should prefer?
