Parenting and pregnancy resource firm BabyCenter conducted a survey of about 500 U.S.-based parents aged 18-54 to determine the best car choices for families. The Tesla Model Y was named as the best electric vehicle for families according to the survey respondents.
The survey asked about the ages of the children, the number and types of car seats in the vehicle, and the features that parents value the most. Despite the fact that only 3% of respondents currently drive an electric vehicle, the Tesla Model Y stood out as the most-driven and highest-rated EV in the survey.
The Model Y is a premium vehicle that starts at around $45,000 before incentives, but it is well-equipped to fit three or more car seats depending on the seating configuration. BabyCenter praised the Model Y for its utility and its robust set of passive and active safety features, such as Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Autopilot as standard features.
The survey also highlighted several EV-specific features in the Model Y that are beneficial for families, such as a large battery that provides ample driving range and ensures that children are always at an acceptable temperature in the cabin regardless of the weather or vehicle’s motion. The Model Y offers a balanced combination of safety, utility, performance, and technology at a reasonable price, making it Tesla’s best-selling vehicle and the best-selling car by volume in 2023.
