Tesla Model Y: Tech Suite

tesla model y review
The minimalist cabin takes some getting used to, especially due to the lack of buttons. The infotainment screen on this e-SUV is the command center.

Model Y brings minimalist interior with a fixed glass roof and acoustic laminated glass panels for better sound insulation. It gets a clean dashboard design with everything integrated into the 15.4-inch central touchscreen, while rear passengers get an 8-inch rear screen. The EV features dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable front seats, a power-operated tailgate and a panoramic roof.
