RRP before on-road costs, as published by the manufacturer.

Overview

The 2026 Tesla Model Y RWD is a five-seat electric SUV that drives the rear wheels. It's $58,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. It carries a 60kWh battery with a claimed WLTP range of 466km. DC fast charging peaks at 175kW. The boot takes 854 litres with the seats up and 2,138 litres folded, and braked towing is rated at 1,600kg, so it suits a family that wants an EV with plenty of room for gear and the odd trailer.

Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file. Actual prices vary by brand, retailer and fitting.

ANCAP, by exact grade

  • 5/5 (2025)

A rating belongs to the exact variant ANCAP tested and is never carried across to a grade or a build year it does not cover. A rating older than six years is marked expired because ANCAP’s own test has moved on.

Safety recalls on the Tesla Model Y

  • Due to a software issue, the driver side window’s automatic protection system may not operate as intended and result in the window closing with excessive force on any obstruction such as a body part.

    Published 2025-08-29. Year range on the notice: 2025. Matched to 3 of the 3 grades listed here. REC-006419 on the government register

    If a body part is in the window space when the driver's side window is closing, it can increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.

4 more verified notices are matched to other Tesla Model Y rows we hold, not to the grades above(show)
  • Due to a software issue, the Electronic Power Assist Steering system (EPAS) may not operate as intended. Year range on the notice: 2022 - 2023. REC-006300 on the government register
  • Due to manufacturing defect, the bonnet latch assembly may not detect when it is opened by the driver and therefore fail to warn the driver of "open bonnet". Year range on the notice: 2020 - 2024. REC-006042 on the government register
  • Due to a software issue, the steering wheel may feel notchy when operating the vehicle in cold temperatures. Year range on the notice: 2022 - 2023. REC-005875 on the government register
  • Due to a software error, the tail lamps on one or both sides may not illuminate as intended. Year range on the notice: 2022. REC-005571 on the government register

At $84,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs, the 2026 Tesla Model Y Performance AWD gets you a fully electric five-seat SUV driving all four wheels.

The boot holds 854 litres with the rear seats up and 2,138 litres folded, and it's rated to tow 1,600kg braked.
