Where the 2025 OPTIQ further sets itself apart is in its cabin and technology. Boasting a jaw-dropping 33-inch OLED screen, the OPTIQ offers easy, seamless access to all your most important settings and controls. Compare this touchscreen with the 15-inch Model Y touchscreen and you'll wonder why Tesla even bothered.

Connectivity is made even more seamless with standard Google built-in -- tech not offered at all in the Model Y -- while the 19-speaker AKG Studio audio system does your favorite music justice, unlike the 13-speaker system in the Tesla.

Wondering about Cadillac vs. Tesla safety features? The Model Y does offer many driver-assistive technologies, but they don't compare whatsoever with the long list of standard OPTIQ safety systems. From Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking to Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, the 2025 OPTIQ protects you in all kinds of environments. The same can't be said about the less-equipped Model Y.
