Which Tesla Will You Pick?

Both the Model 3 and Model Y offer an enjoyable driving experience with quick and smooth acceleration. The Model 3 offers slightly higher range than the model Y so if you tend to drive longer distances, the Model 3 may be the better choice for you. However, if you need more seating or cargo capacity, you may want to consider the Model Y. In addition, the Model Y has higher ground clearance, which for some, may make it easier to get in and out of the vehicle.
