The pearl white colored Model Y on display featured Tesla's "Uberturbine", all black rims, which really help to visually isolate and highlight the cars super smooth body style. The car features an all glass roof that extends all the way to the bottom of the rear opening hatch. Their is a subtle rear spoiler contoured into the body to improve aerodynamics.

Tesla offers customers a wall mountable, home charging solution for their vehicles that runs on standard 120v electrical outlets found in most homes. Tesla home chargers can recharge the car's 75-kWh lithium-ion battery pack at a rate of 3 to 5 miles of range per hour (MRPH) of charge. With a 240v electrical circuit added in a home, the charging rate can go up to 30 to 37 MRPH. The standard range of the Model Y on a full charge is estimated at 326 miles.
