Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site.

Main theme: We dedicated the entire episode of this podcast to talking about the much-anticipated Model Y. The all-new SUV (or is it a hatchback?) is based on the Model 3 sedan, and therefore shares many components. The two Teslas also share the same positive and negative qualities, though the Model Y is an improvement in some ways.

The panel discusses:
• The version we bought
• What the move to an SUV/hatchback body style has made better and worse
• The new advanced driver assistance and safety systems
• And . . . what it's like to drive it!

As with other “Talking Cars” episodes, this one is available free through Apple Podcasts. (Subscribe to the audio or video.) You’ll also find the audio on Spotify (log-in required) and video on YouTube.
