Fleet Readiness
The Tesla Model Y demonstrate suitability for professional and fleet use based on charging behavior, uptime requirements, serviceability, and cost-per-mile considerations that determine whether fleets can scale reliably. See also Fleet Core 10.
Fleet Role Summary: Most deployed global electric crossover for rideshare and corporate fleets.
Fleet Scores
Read the Fleet Scoring Framework.
Composite Fleet Readiness Score: = 92 / 100
FUS = 90 / 100 - Fleet Utility Score
Duty-cycle versatility, packaging, and real-world usefulness for fleet scenarios.
High range and efficiency for multi-shift duty
Large cargo volume enhances utility
Excellent uptime proven across regions
TCO = 90 / 100 - Total Cost of Ownership Score
Energy cost, maintenance expectations, uptime, and residual value assumptions.
Low maintenance and strong part availability
High resale value benefits fleet depreciation
Solid efficiency despite crossover form factor
CCS = 94 / 100 - Charging Convenience Score
Depot charging behavior, public network compatibility, and real-world turn-around speeds.
Native NACS ensures strong corridor access
11.5 kW AC ideal for depot overnight cycles
Thermal readiness minimizes charging variance
DAX = 92 / 100 - Driver Assistance Experience Score
ADAS capability, stability, and driver workload reduction in fleet contexts.
ADAS compute mature and consistent
Tesla Fleet API enables advanced reporting
Driver comfort and ergonomics support long shifts
Energy & Cost Context
Energy use assumption: 27 kWh / 100 miles in typical mixed urban duty cycles.
Depot energy cost assumption: $0.07 per kWh (off-peak commercial rate).
Estimated cost per full charge: ~ 5.60 (0-100% of usable capacity).
