What reviewers say
Auto Express and Car and Driver praised the revised Model Y's space, acceleration and improved refinement, and both found its screen-led controls distracting. Auto Express also criticised rear visibility and steering feel. Top Gear found the Performance quick and composed but short on steering feedback.
