Tesla Model Y: the electric SUV transforms into a 2-seater utility vehicle

More space and charge for professionals: the Model Y 2-seater gets down to work

The Model Y utility vehicle with 2 seats boasts generous space and increased load capacity, making it the ideal solution for professionals with a wide range of logistical requirements. Thanks to the absence of a rear bench seat, this utility vehicle offers a spacious, modular load compartment, enabling the efficient transport of goods, equipment or various materials. This intelligent design meets the requirements of companies in a variety of sectors, such as goods delivery, on-site service and maintenance, offering a versatile solution that can be adapted to different types of professional activity.

The interior design of the Model Y utility is designed to maximize the use of space, with features such as fastening hooks and integrated storage compartments, facilitating the secure transport of goods of all sizes. What's more, the flat loading platform and large tailgate opening simplify loading and unloading, reducing downtime and improving the efficiency of logistics operations.

In addition to its generous load space, the Model Y utility also benefits from the performance and technology features for which Tesla is renowned. With exceptional electric range and advanced features such as Autopilot, professionals can rely on this vehicle to meet their travel needs reliably and safely, while reducing their carbon footprint thanks to all-electric driving.

All in all, the Model Y utility represents a complete solution for professionals looking for a utility vehicle vehicle. With its flexible load space, practical features and cutting-edge technology, this model is an essential tool for optimizing business operations and effectively meeting the logistical challenges of the professional world.

A tax-efficient Model Y for craftsmen and entrepreneurs

Tesla has collaborated with French specialist Gruau to transform the Model Y into a two-seater utility vehicle. A notable feature of this version is its eligibility for commercial vehicle taxation. In fact, by being classified as a "VP-derived" utility vehicle, it enables companies to reclaim VAT. 

Primarily intended for professional use, this model is classified as M1, which means that it does not qualify for the ecological bonus for legal entities. However, it may be eligible if purchased in the owner's own name, notably for a sole proprietorship.

So, because it's a converted vehicle, you can't benefit from the €4,000 bonus for private individuals or the €3,000 bonus for professionals. However, this restriction is offset by the possibility of reclaiming VAT, following the official change of the vehicle's registration document to classify it as a commercial vehicle. After this deduction, the final price is €37,038.

The Model Y 2-seater: a new alternative to traditional vans and pick-ups

Model Y utility: generous load space

The Model Y utility is distinguished by its generous cargo space, meeting the practical needs of professionals. Designed specifically for businesses, this Tesla electric vehicle undergoes a significant interior makeover to offer a functional and adaptable environment. 


By removing the rear bench seat, a flat loading surface is created, accompanied by a partition behind the front seats for optimum organization of space. This configuration enables the Model Y utility to claim an impressive storage capacity of 2,158 litersexceeding that of the five-seater version with the bench seat folded down, estimated at 2,041 liters.

How the Model Y's range compares with other vehicles

The range of the Tesla Model Y is among the best in its class, thanks to Tesla's expertise in electric technology. Compared with other electric vehicles on the market, the Model Y generally offers a longer range on a single charge. For example, compared with other electric SUVs of similar size, such as the Ford Mustang Mach-Eor the Volkswagen ID.4the Model Y often boasts a longer range, exceeding 300 miles (around 455 kilometers) in some configurations.

However, it should be noted that actual range may vary depending on several factors, such as driving conditions, speed, outside temperature, and the use of energy-consuming equipment such as heating or air conditioning. In addition, Tesla's technological advances and regular software updates can also improve energy efficiency and therefore the vehicle's range over time.
