Price
If driving an electric vehicle is your top priority, but you're seeking a low overhead, the Volkswagen ID.4 is an easy choice. The Volkswagen ID.4 starts at around $43,000 with the base model featuring convenient tools like cloth seats, a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen, and 19-inch wheels. You can get even more plush features if you bump up one trim level to the Pro S, starting at only $47,000. Enjoy a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, and a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y starts at $47,740. Plus, the Tesla Model Y is only offered in two trim levels: Long Range and Performance. Both of which feature a 75-kilowatt-hour battery and all-wheel-drive capability. Enjoy more flexibility in terms of powertrain and interior features, along with a lower price, when you buy the Volkswagen ID.4 if you're a Palo Alto, California driver.
Performance
The Volkswagen ID.4 offers up a driving range between 262 miles and 275 miles in the rear-wheel drive version. The all-wheel-drive version of the ID.4 features 245 miles of driving range. Tesla takes the win here in terms of range with the Long Range version of the Tesla Model Y clocking in at 330 miles of driving range.
It's important to consider your use case before investing in an electric vehicle, if you're looking to make local trips, the ID.4 might be the perfect choice. Even if you do plan on going on a road trip, charging stations are popping up all over the United States, so you can juice up when you're on the move. The ID.4 also offers DC fast charging, with a rate of 135 kilowatts making for only a 38-minute wait to bring your battery from 5% to 80%.
Interior and Technology
The Tesla Model Y is known for its streamlined interior design. No matter which powertrain option you choose, the inside of your Tesla Model Y will be exactly the same. Tesla vehicles feature a large 14-inch touchscreen, wireless charging pads, and a minimal dashboard design. All vehicle controls are done through the touchscreen infotainment display, including air conditioning vents, gear shifting, and seat adjustments. This is an incredibly modern design, and not to all Santa Clara, California drivers liking.
The Volkswagen ID.4 offers a much more traditional interior design along with some modern perks. The ID.4 comes with a large infotainment touchscreen but the climate controls more closely resemble that of a traditional SUV. If you're not quite ready to take the plunge into electric vehicle design, consider the ID.4 from Volkswagen to get the best of both worlds.
