2025 Tesla Model Y Launch Edition Review: Worth the Premium?
Tesla’s 2025 Model Y Launch Edition is here: new lighting, quieter cabin, ventilated seats, rear screen—and yes, the indicator stalk is back. In this review I test real miles, charging, ride comfort, practicality, and whether the Launch premium is actually worth it vs a standard Long Range.
Specs discussed: LR AWD Launch Edition, ~353-mile WLTP (wheel-dependent), ~3.8 mi/kWh mixed when driven gently, up to 250 kW DC fast charging, 11 kW AC, 0–60 mph mid-4s, braked towing up to 3,527 lb (UK rating).
Test conditions: Mixed city/A-roads/motorway, late summer temps, 20" wheels (noted impact on range).
