Notes and sources
- Fuel economy: Natural Resources Canada's combined rating for the Model Y RWD-B, 138.4 MPGe. The NRCan file is dated 2026-09-18, the Last-Modified sent by the server with bev_2012_2026.csv.↩
- CO₂: the measured tailpipe figure of an electric car is zero. What a grid emits to charge it is not a tailpipe figure and is not stated here.↩
- Range: NRCan's rated range for the Model Y RWD-B configuration.↩
- Fuel cost: not estimated. This site has no electricity price source yet, so no cost is computed for an electric car.↩
- Power: not published. EPA values disagree.↩
- Crash rating: NHTSA's overall rating for the rear-wheel-drive 2026 Model Y — frontal 5, side 5, rollover 5 stars. NHTSA is the US regulator; its rating is carried here with its publisher named. NHTSA data as of 2026-09-10.↩
- Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (MODEL Y BEV), as of 2026-09-10 — a US register. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
- Complaints: NHTSA holds 360 for the 2026 Model Y, 80 of which describe a crash, fire, injury or death. The rate per 10,000 built is not computed: not published in this market-year — complaint_rate: no row in this market-year carries it from a source that measures it (0/372).↩
- Kerb weight: not published. The maker's 49 CFR 565 filing to NHTSA alone states a curb weight for this car, and another source's figure for this nameplate could not be attributed to this car.↩
- Warranty: not carried. The warranty table compiled from each maker's published statement has no verified entry for Tesla for 2026 in this market.↩
- Registrations: 18,182 Model Ys of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
- This car is measured on the electric scale: MPGe and a measured tailpipe zero. Miles per gallon, charge-weighted CO₂ and engine-only horsepower do not apply to it.↩
- Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2026 car sold in Canada, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
