Family + dog
Measure before buying
Passenger space is good, but the saloon opening makes it unsuitable for a large dog crate. A Model Y is the better Tesla for dogs.

What it is like to live with
For taxi, ride-hailing or repeated Lisbon–Porto work, the energy efficiency and charging network are hard to beat. The rear hatch of a Model Y is better for a large dog, but passengers and luggage fit well.
What works
Outstanding efficiency and WLTP range
Supercharger integration
Low downtime for high-mileage work
What irritates
Saloon opening limits bulky cargo
No stalks, CarPlay or driver display
Service and repair experience varies
Trips + camping
Built for long Europe runs
Outstanding for long-distance driving, but the saloon body is poor for sleeping inside or carrying bulky camping equipment.
City + daily life · 4.5/5
Easy urban fit
Efficient and only 1.85 metres wide, although its 4.72-metre length and low seating position require care on ramps and kerbs.
Cargo · 3.4/5
5 seats, measured honestly
Large total stated storage disguises a narrow boot opening. Excellent for luggage and cases, weaker for boxes or tall equipment.
Taxi + high mileage · 5.0/5
A professional benchmark
The catalogue benchmark: strong real-world efficiency, long range, and predictable Supercharger stops minimise downtime and energy cost.
