I think if it's going to be the main car, then 250+ real world miles (ie, in the winter, crap weather) is a must. I can think of a number of times year before last when we did that journey, either in one hit, or there and back with a stop in the middle.

The stop in the middle is key, though, as mentioned with Alton Towers (one of the places we went to). We often do 100 + miles, spend the day, then back again. If at places that are all day destinations they have a large number of 3kw / 7kw chargers, then range is less of an issue. These places don't all need super chargers, just enough for people to plug in, top up, then get home again.

Of course the cost of this sort of thing isn't cheap, but a bit more joined up thinking.....

Back to the Y, and yes, from an EV point of view is good enough, if you can get passed the looks and interior, but as has been said, that's a high entry point price wise
