Compare the2027 Ferrari Luce VS 2026 Tesla Model Y

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the Luce. But it costs extra on the Model Y.

The Ferrari Luce’s 360 degree parking monitor is equipped with washers for its front and rear cameras, ensuring crystal-clear visibility in any weather condition. Conversely, the Tesla Model Y only offers a front camera washer, which may not provide the same level of all-weather performance.

The Luce has standard GPS Response System, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The Model Y doesn’t offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

Both the Luce and the Model Y have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, front seat center airbag, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Ferrari Luce weighs 516 to 798 pounds more than the Tesla Model Y. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The Luce comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Model Y’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the Luce for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Tesla doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Model Y.

The Luce’s electric motors produces 740 more horsepower (1035 vs. 295) and 421 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 309) than the Model Y’s standard electric motor. The Luce’s electric motors produces 638 more horsepower (1035 vs. 397) and 341 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 389) than the Model Y AWD’s standard electric motors. The Luce’s electric motors produces 575 more horsepower (1035 vs. 460) and 243 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 487) than the Model Y Performance’s standard electric motors.

For better stopping power the Luce’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Model Y:

	Luce	Model Y
Front Rotors	15.4 inches	14 inches
Rear Rotors	14.6 inches	13.2 inches

The Luce has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The Model Y doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

For better traction, the Luce has larger tires than the Model Y (F:265/35R23 & R:315/30R24 vs. 235/55R18). The Luce’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Model Y (F:265/35R23 & R:315/30R24 vs. F:255/35R21 & R:275/35R21).

The Luce’s 265/35R23 front and 315/30R24 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Model Y Standard’s standard 55 series tires. The Luce’s tires are lower profile than the Model Y Performance’s 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Luce has standard 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the Model Y Standard. The Model Y’s largest wheels are only 21-inches.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires optional on the Luce can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Model Y doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

The Luce offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Tesla doesn’t offer an active suspension on the Model Y.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Luce’s wheelbase is 2.8 inches longer than on the Model Y (116.6 inches vs. 113.8 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Luce is 2 inches wider in the front and 2 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the Model Y.

For better maneuverability, the Luce’s turning circle is 3 feet tighter than the Model Y’s (36.8 feet vs. 39.8 feet).

The Luce uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Model Y doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the Model Y, the Luce has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position, outside mirror angle, climate settings and radio stations and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

Heated windshield washer fluid is standard on the Luce to defrost the washer nozzles and quickly clear ice and frost from the windshield without scraping. The Model Y doesn’t offer heated windshield washer fluid.

The Luce’s standard side window demisters help clear frost or condensation from the side windows in the winter. The Model Y doesn’t even offer side window demisters, so the driver may have to wipe the windows from the outside to gain side vision.

The Ferrari Luce has power folding mirrors that offer unparalleled convenience while maneuvering in tight places or parked. With the mirrors folded it’s easier to walk past and help prevent parking damage. The mirrors can be quickly unfolded when the driver is ready to leave. Power folding mirrors are only offered on the Model Y Premium/Performance.

The Luce offers optional massaging front and rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Model Y.

The Luce is equipped with both FM and AM stereo radios, offering access to more content and better coverage than the Model Y, which solely provides FM radio. With AM radio, you can enjoy a wider variety of stations featuring news, talk shows, sports commentary, native language programing, automated traffic guidance, and emergency broadcasts. AM waves travel further and penetrate buildings and obstacles more effectively than FM signals, especially at night. Having both FM and AM stereo radios the Luce offers a more comprehensive listening experience compared to only FM in the Model Y.

HD Radio boasts several benefits over conventional radio: superior sound quality with clearer and consistent FM broadcasts, CD-quality audio, and Multicast Channels offering up to four streams from a single station, adding programming choices. Cars like the Luce equipped with HD Radio provide an improved in-car entertainment experience. The Model Y, devoid of this technology, foregoes these benefits. Selecting the Ferrari Luce empowers drivers to enjoy a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience while on the go.

Compared to the Tesla Model Y’s traditional radio, the Ferrari Luce equipped with standard SiriusXM satellite radio provides an unmatched listening experience. Its extensive coverage guarantees consistent, crystal-clear reception across the continental U.S., and access to over 100 channels dedicated to a multitude of genres, including music, news, sports, talk shows, and comedy, many with only limited commercial breaks.
