The Tesla Model Y will soon complete something of a milestone, its first full winter. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a big deal for an SUV, crossover, or really any type of vehicle. But the Model Y. The Model Y, on the other hand, makes an estimated power output of 450 to 500 hp (373 kW) and 470 to 500 lb-ft (678 Nm) of twist.
