Alpine A390 vs Tesla Model Y (2022-2025)

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 288 miles for the Alpine A390 and 247 miles for the Tesla Model Y - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Alpine A390 goes roughly 40 miles further between charging stops.

The Alpine A390 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 36 mm narrower than the Tesla Model Y. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 515 mm of total clearance for the Alpine A390 and about 479 mm of total clearance for the Tesla Model Y. The Alpine A390 also turns in a 1.1 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Alpine A390 and 84% for the Tesla Model Y. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
