2026 Tesla Model Y vs. 2026 Toyota bZ Comparison Test

Toyota is getting serious about electric cars:

"Surprisingly, Toyota's refreshed and renamed bZ has outsold every non-Tesla EV in America through the first quarter of 2026, though the Model Y remains entrenched atop the sales charts."
"Tesla's Full-Self Driving (Supervised) is included for the first 30 days and then costs $99 per month, but can be canceled at any time. Previously, it was an $8000 stand-alone option, so the subscription is a much better value."
"...  the 2026 bZ adopts upgraded electric motors, new battery packs, and the NACS charge port that grants access to Tesla's vast Supercharger network; an improved 11.0-kW onboard charger makes Level 2 fill-ups less time-consuming too."
"Apart from lacking phone-mirroring functionality and traditional switchgear—at least there's a turn-signal stalk—Tesla's UX ranks among the best in the biz. Its menus are smartly organized, and functions are surprisingly intuitive (yes, even the power front-seat adjustments that live in the 15.4-inch center touchscreen). Plus, you can access popular apps such as Spotify and YouTube, and the navigation system is just as helpful as Google Maps or Waze."
