The biggest difference between the Tesla siblings is, well, size. The Model X is based on the Model S full-size sedan, while the Model Y gets its underpinnings from the Model 3 compact car. With its larger footprint, the Model X offers more space, stronger performance, and, above all, extra zeros to its price. The advantages of the smaller Model Y are its better efficiency, superb handling, and standard features. Unless the 1,000-plus horsepower and 13 more cubic feet of cargo room of the Model X are needed, the half-price, thrice-the-value Model Y is the better choice.
