Chevrolet Blazer EV vs. Tesla Model Y

Smarter Features

Once known for its cutting-edge infotainment system, Tesla has slowly been falling behind over the years. The Model Y's 15-inch center touchscreen is smaller than the 17.7-inch touchscreen offered in the Blazer EV, which also features an additional 11-inch driver information center.

The Blazer EV retains helpful physical buttons for critical functions, something the Model Y lacks. If you want to look at your speed in the Model Y, you need to look to the side, at the corner of the touch screen. If you want to raise the volume or change the climate control, you again need to look away from the road and touch buttons on a screen.

The Blazer EV also has cool innovative features like Super Cruise™, which provides real hands-free driving capability on over 400,000 miles of roads across North America, and isn't as controversially unpredictable as Tesla Autopilot.

Better Real-World Range

If you're concerned about range, both the Blazer EV and Model Y are capable of going about 300 miles on a single charge, with the 2024 Blazer EV having a slight edge. According to the EPA, the Blazer EV RS can go 324 miles on a single charge compared to just 310 miles for the Model Y Long Range.[1]

Both of the car's dual-motor variants are capable of 279 miles on a single charge, though Edmunds.com found that in real-world tests, the dual-motor Blazer EV beat its estimate by 41 miles — while Tesla tends to fail to live up to the EPA figures.
