Full review

What it is like to live with

The facelift solves much of the harshness of the old car, but the Standard deliberately removes some details that make a new car feel special.

What works

Excellent space and efficiency

Improved ride and refinement

Lowest-risk charging experience

What irritates

Covered rather than glass roof

Basic audio and cabin

A sideways move from a 2024 Model Y

Family + dog

A natural fit

2,118 L stated total. For a large dog, the usable shape, underfloor space and luggage separation matter more than the headline litre figure.

Trips + camping

Capable, with trade-offs

Strong curve; preconditioned routing. Home charging covers normal Portuguese use; motorway efficiency and the charging curve decide how relaxed France or Italy feels.
