Your S3XY Guide

With this Tesla S3XY Guide we would like to give you a quick and clear insight into the Tesla model range! We have summarized the most important points for you to simplify your purchase decision.

Tesla now offers four different models. It all started with the Tesla Model S, which has been on the market since 2012. A luxury-class electric car with state-of-the-art technology that could hardly be found in any other car in 2012. Based on this, Tesla launched the Tesla Model X on the market in 2015. An SUV that polarized not only the electric scene at the time. The Model X caused a stir with its "Falcon Wing Doors". With the Tesla Model 3which has been available in Europe since February 2019, Tesla polarized again. Inside, the simple and uncluttered but very innovative cockpit is striking. Tesla has thus succeeded in reducing the interior space to a minimum without sacrificing anything - on the contrary! At the end of December 2023, the Tesla Model 3 was refreshed and given a facelift, also known as the Model 3 Highland". The new Model 3 became sportier on the outside, more upmarket on the inside, received new chassis components and was further upgraded in terms of equipment and brought closer to the Tesla Model S. Of course, an SUV based on the Tesla Model 3 could not be missing. And finally, 2021 saw the arrival of the Model Y came to Europe. State-of-the-art technology, economical consumption despite the SUV shape and plenty of space speak for the Model Y. In the meantime, the Tesla Model Y is now the best-selling electric car in the world.

Model 3 Advantages	Model Y Advantages
Sporty Compact Lower fuel consumption due to better CW value Facelift variant	More space / larger as SUV Large tailgate thus more space for loading Higher seating position Darkened rear windows

Difference in trunk volume: Model 3: 425 liters / Model Y: 600 liters.

Both models can be fitted with a trailer coupling by the Service Center after delivery.

All Tesla Model 3 come from China, all Tesla Model Y come from the German Gigafactory Grünheide. You can tell whether your model comes from China or Germany by the chassis number. If it starts with LRW it is a model from China, if it starts with XP7 your model is from Germany. (as of 10.07.2023)
