Tesla Model Y - Real World Range Test! How Far Will It Really Go?

Let's be frank, no vehicle (gasoline, EV or otherwise) is likely to get the manufacturer rated range in the real world, it's the nature of the beast. But logically the shorter the range, the more important it is. Can Tesla's Model Y make it over 300 miles? In a nutshell: not for most folks. Dan: Enjoyed watching this range test. As a Model 3 owner I can confirm that the EPA rang is a rare thing to hit, as in never. Most of us though will charge enough to get to the next logical supercharger when road tripping, otherwise when around town I don't even think about range. One suggestion I do have is to try a pure interstate range test. I find the the efficiency does change as you hit a sustained speed without the stop and go.

How about the mini Cooper or the niro or the Kona? I have a niro and it gets all 239 miles. You can tell by the battery size and projected miles that somebody was very generous when they judge the teslas range. Under perfect conditions my SR plus model three will get 205 miles and unless I m going downhill but typically at 1: 70. Which I m fine with I am not complaining the Tesla is a superior car to drive no question.

EV range is different because charging stations are not as ubiquitous as gas stations. Everyone hates to be stranded for lack of fuel. Being stranded in a gasoline vehicle is easily fixed and unlikely if you're paying attention. Being stranded in an EV is much more serious - AAA's mobile charging trucks were in limited areas but didn't get used, so AAA has dropped back to towing to a charging station.

Not even remotely close to 300 miles much less the promised 315mi. Sure the typical your mileage may vary applies, but 225 mi is a long shot away from the state number. Either this test car is broken or someone is gaming the EPA test with an utterly unrealistic figure. Also shows that Tesla is really no different than a Chevy, Hyundai or Jaguar - there is no mythical battery advantage.

Given that recent research regarding the use of AC n cars during the pandemic shows that you are better off not sealing your car and opening the windows - how does the Model Y (and other cars) handle 4 (windows open)/60 (MPH) AC?

Strange how Tesla real world range is LESS than EPA, but Porsche Taycan real world range is MUCH father than EPA test result. There is something fishy going on with EPA testing and EVs. maybe a Teslagate?
