2022 BMW X3 vs. Tesla Model Y
When searching for a new luxury vehicle choice matters. Many times, luxury vehicle intenders consider both BMW and Tesla when searching for their perfect fit. So here’s an assessment when matching up our fan-favorite BMW X3 with the Tesla Model Y. The too-long didn't read (TLDNR) version comes from Car and Driver's summary statement on the 2022 Tesla model – ”the 2022 Model Y feels like a lazy effort to appeal to the SUV-buying public.”
Let’s dig deeper and determine how the BMW X3 keeps BMW’s tagline of the ultimate driving machine safely intact and how our local BMW of Bakersfield dealer takes care of customers in the community with an unprecedented Price Match Guarantee!
Service and Collision
When your busy lifestyle requires you to be on the go, our local Bakersfield team will work diligently to get you back on the road. We work closely with Automall Collision Center, the only certified BMW collision repair center in all of Bakersfield, to take care of our customers.
On the other hand, if you damage your Tesla vehicle, get ready to do some serious research. Tesla continues to figure out the service piece of the puzzle. We want to take all stress off your plate and that’s why Automall Collision Center, located conveniently in Bakersfield, will pick up and deliver your BMW X3 looking as polished as ever in the blink of an eye. We proudly partner with this local collision center and appreciate all they do to keep our driving machines ultimate!
Additionally, on the service side of things, you can rest assured that the technicians on the service drive bring BMW factory-certified skills to the table. Tesla, on the other hand, still struggles to determine what service looks like for them. Who wants to be in Bakersfield where there isn’t a retail network and there may or may not be Tesla-trained technicians?
Experience and Reliability
When you shop the BMW X3, you can buy in confidence knowing that the highly-reputable OEM produced the first model in 2003. Now with 20 years of redesign of the BMW X3, the vehicle continues to evolve to meet our customers’ greatest needs and wants. Tesla, on the other hand, first released the Model Y in 2020, meaning only 2 years of on-road experience. Rely on BMWs expertise when choosing your premium SUV.
Given the choice, we'd suggest the BMW X3 over the Tesla Model Y, but even if you don't believe us you can take Car and Driver's word for it one more time:
“The Tesla Model Y (2022) tried to capitalize on the red-hot success of the Model 3, but the all-electric crossover is more fizzle than sizzle.”
Range
The 2022 X3 comes with a 17.2-gallon fuel tank with a combined range of 430 miles and accelerates 0-60 mph in 6.2 seconds. The 230-mile round trip to Los Angeles can be made on a single tank, never forcing you to take a pit-stop to refuel. The Tesla Model Y claims to be capable of 300 miles of driving range, but these numbers don’t add up when consumers get behind the wheel. Car and Driver research indicated that Tesla owners can best expect to secure approximately 220 miles of driving range. This creates a whole slew of problems for owners who will trade in the “road rage” for a new phenomenon otherwise known as “range anxiety.” You got it – more than 50% of electric vehicle owners now live in fear, afraid they won’t be able to find a charging station in time.
