From a visionary idea to a revolution on the roads
The company Tesla was founded in 2003 by engineers Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. At the time, few could have imagined the profound impact it would have on the entire automotive industry. In 2008, Elon Musk joined the company's management team and took it to a whole new level. Tesla is named after the famous inventor Nikola Tesla, who was a pioneer in the use of electrical energy.
Today, Tesla has a number of Gigafactories around the world, including Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, the American carmaker's first factory in China. This is where the Model Y and Model 3 are manufactured for the Asian market.
Tesla Model Y – an electric car for modern drivers
The Model Y is a compact crossover SUV that combines the practicality of a larger family car with the dynamics of a pure electric drive. With up to seven seats, it is suitable for both families and business use. The range includes rear-wheel drive (RWD) and dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) versions, which differ in range and performance.
The basic Model Y (RWD) offers a range of up to 455 km according to the WLTP standard, which is more than enough for everyday driving and longer trips. The more powerful AWD version offers approximately 533 km according to WLTP.
Equipment and technology
The interior of the Model Y is dominated by a 15-inch touchscreen that serves as the main control center – from navigation and multimedia to vehicle settings. A premium audio system with 13 speakers is also available for a high-quality music experience. The Model Y is equipped with a range of advanced driver assistance systems, and for an additional fee, you can also activate the Full Self-Driving feature, an advanced automated driving system (within current legislative restrictions).
Safety and comfort
The Model Y maintains high safety standards, earning a 5-star rating from the NHTSA and excellent ratings in European Euro NCAP tests. Its design, smart sensors, and powerful braking system contribute to safe driving in all conditions.
What's new for 2025
The Model Y has undergone a facelift, which has brought a modernized design of the headlights with an LED strip, redesigned rear lights, and higher-quality materials in the interior. A rear touchscreen for passengers and ambient lighting have also been added, highlighting the sophisticated character of the car.
Tesla Model Y Long Range – when you want even more from the Model Y
Model Y Long Range is an upgraded version of the basic Model Y and will appeal to anyone who expects not only style and space from an electric car, but above all significantly longer range and better performance. Unlike the standard version, the Long Range comes with dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard, which ensures better traction, greater stability, and more responsive handling even in demanding conditions.
The main difference is the range – while the basic Model Y can travel around 455 km (depending on the version), the Long Range offers up to 568 km according to the EPA and now even 719 km according to the Chinese CLTC standard. This makes it ideal for longer journeys without frequent stops to recharge, which will be particularly appreciated by frequent travelers and corporate clients.
Equipment and technology
In terms of technology, the Long Range is based on the standard Model Y equipment – it features a 15-inch touchscreen, a premium audio system with 13 speakers, and a wide range of driver assistance systems. However, unlike the standard version, it supports fast charging at up to 250 kW, which adds up to 272 km of range in 15 minutes – ideal for quick breaks on long journeys.
The Long Range also brings visual and comfort enhancements: new lighting design, ambient lighting, and higher-quality interior materials. It remains just as safe – this version also received 5 stars in NHTSA tests and high ratings from Euro NCAP.
The Model Y Long Range is the perfect choice for those who want everything the Model Y has to offer – and a little extra: longer range, more powerful drive and greater comfort for everyday and weekend travel.
Tesla Model 3 – a sporty sedan with style
Tesla Model 3 is a mid-size sedan that combines sporty character with maximum efficiency and low operating costs. It is ideal for everyday city driving and brisk highway travel. Thanks to its low center of gravity, aerodynamic shape, and precise steering, it is one of the most popular electric cars in its class. It is available in rear-wheel drive (RWD) or dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) versions, which differ in power and range.
The basic Model 3 (RWD) offers a range of up to 513 km according to WLTP, which comfortably covers most daily needs. The more powerful AWD version can handle up to 629 km according to WLTP while maintaining sporty acceleration and high efficiency.
Equipment and technology
The interior of the Model 3 is minimalist but fully functional – a 15-inch touchscreen in the center of the dashboard serves as the main control for driving, navigation, and entertainment. Users can also enjoy a high-quality audio system, wireless software updates, and a modern vehicle interface.
The Model 3 features a range of intelligent driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control and active lane keeping. Optional extras include Full Self-Driving, which offers features such as automatic lane changes and parking.
Safety and comfort
The Model 3 also maintains a high level of passive and active safety, earning a 5-star rating from the NHTSA and excellent scores in Euro NCAP tests. In addition to its robust construction, it also features improved cabin insulation and well-designed ergonomics.
What's new for 2025
The Model 3 was redesigned in 2024, and the facelift continues into 2025. New features include narrower LED headlights, better interior materials, improved aerodynamic design, and a rear touchscreen for passengers. The overall impression is enhanced by ambient lighting, which gives the car a more premium feel.
