Love my Tesla Model Y LR, this is the most sold electric car in Norway, is so good to drive, just drove a 16 hour trip with 6 ferries, was not tired Love from Norway - Bergen

266 Wh/mi is just simply amazing. My Model 3 Performance has a lifetime average of 267 Wh/mi after 15k miles but that is with 18” wheels. This Model Y is truly in a class by itself.

This type of efficiency is exactly why I bought my 2nd Model Y Long Range. I have gotten similar results on road trips with the 19" aero wheels, but didn't have the courage to drop below zero SOC. Great video Kyle, thanks for putting in the hours!

What I love about my 2023 Model Y Quicksilver: 1) One of the safest car tested by EURO NCAP and IIHS 2) Great efficiency 3) Loads of room inside, front and back. Plus massive trunk space. 4) Fassssst 5) 4-wheel drive

24:00 test results

266 Wh/mi @ 70MPH is fantastic! 3.5 mi/kWh is up there as well.

Really enjoying all your content Kyle. I’ve learned so much since following you. Looking forward to the ‘23 LR Y!!

That last bit of charging after 100% is final BMS balancing to the limit.

Love your work Kyle - packed full of practical, helpful info, delivered with a smile and unbreakable positivity 😀

Wow!! I hit zero one time (9 miles out) in an 2021 MYP and only pulled 71KWH. 76 is crazy!!!

Really would love to see Kyle do the range test on the Austin 4680 Model Y

If you've followed my comments on this channel, you'd know I'm not the hugest Tesla fan, but can absolutely appreciate the tech and level of refinement on certain components.... Wife drove a MYLR... And we're getting one. So there it is.

Goodness so much relentless content! Fantastic - keep it up :)

Gotta love Tesla efficiency.

EPA range (316 with those wheels) is based on a drive cycle that includes city driving, so of course it's not going to match it going 70 mph continuous. Still, not bad 🙂

Very useful test for Tesla Y road trippers. We are on a road trip from Seattle to Yellowstone in a 2023 Subaru Outback getting about 30mpg on an 18 gallon tank. Back home in town we drive a 2022 Leaf SV plus. Following secondary roads through small town Montana have no Tesla superchargers. All EV is the future, not the present yet for us.

I took delivery of a ‘23 MYP recently and would love to see content on how it compares to the LR models. Love your channel!

Model Y - extraordinary car. Safest car there is, most spacious SUV on the market, sensational stereo, suits me and my family perfectly 👌

The Tesla Model Y is arguably the best car in the world, if one takes into account four factors equally - value, safety, utility, and performance. It’s probably stealing at least some sales from M3, MX, and maybe even MS.

so using 65 mph as the EPA rough estimated speed, then since air drag is proportional to velocity squared 65^2 / 70^2 = 0.862, and you got 286/326 = 0.877, so within 1% of my simple formula, Expect about a 10% range drop in a year or two, then pretty level for a long time. Nice test!

Was going to say the same thing as that other viewer about not much coverage on the Model Y & X.

For true range @ 70 mph we are talking about 269 miles @ 270 Wh/mi and 2% SOC left. This is impressive efficiency of 3.7 mi/kWh. So by extrapolation, the range would have been 274 miles if getting to 0%. It is known that the Tesla has about 3.5 kWh buffer, this means to complete stop it would mean 287 miles. How much range Kyle squeezed from the pack ? 286 miles. Perfect score !

It is pretty incredible that this car is less than $50k with the tax credits. Amazing value especially when you consider that it can use both the Tesla network and any of the public chargers.

Have you tested the 2023 Model 3 LFP? I just bought one and am curious what the actual range would be on a roadtrip :)

Collision warning activated because the collision warning is likely set to "Early". I have mine set on late which eliminates the warning from sounding unless you need to brake. The passenger vents can only be controlled individually if you decouple the left and right systems first. There are two modes, one mode allows individual left and right control and the other mode locks them together. that's why both sides turned off when you tried to shut off the passenger side. Duh!

Thank you for this video. My identical LR Tesla model Y and year. I have almost 20,000 miles. 3 rd set of tires. At 72 I am not going to do what you did (my wife would kill me). I have a road trip planned into Western Maryland from west of Columbus Ohio with several Tesla locations along the way. The mountains of western Maryland to deal with and you have relieved my anxiety issues along the way. Again thank you..

My Model 3 SR+ averages around 220wh/mi but generally I can only do like 170 mi before I feel uncomfortable pushing it further. That's about 95% to 5%.

There seems to be so much more work using an EV, when it comes to trying to get the estimated range, compared to an ICE vehicle. Our 01 DGC EX gets around 410 miles per tank of gas with high winds going 75 to 80 MPH. (20-gallon size tank) I can use pretty much anything in it without effecting the MPG.

Kyle, great video as always. Have you ever tried the range test without regenerative breaking? I'm really curious to see how much less (or more) of a range you will get without it. Thank you for all your videos!!

Kyle, I would like to do a show on phantom braking. We did a 4200 mile road trip on our 2022 Model 3 LR from Indianapolis, to Denver, then Phoenix, and home. We experienced many instances of phantom breaking on interstate driving that were unsettling. Here is the post I put on Facebook and got many reactions from other owner who see the same thing: "We have a 2022 Model 3 LR. We took a 4200 mile road trip from Indianapolis to Denver and then down to Phoenix and back. it was all interstate going 70-80 mph. We had a serious problem with repeated phantom braking. Often, what seemed to trigger it was when we came up on a section of road that was black as opposed to normal grey roadway. It would brake and then keep on going (I guess it was trying to learn what it was). We would also experience it when coming up over a crest of the road where you couldn't see on the down slope. At least these two situations could be explained for the phantom braking. However, there were times multiple times when we were on open road with no car ahead of us and it would brake. With cruise control operational, my wife would keep here foot hovering over the accelerator when cars were following us so that she could gun it when the braking occurred so that the car behind wouldn't ram us. My wife thought the oncoming wind was causing it when were heading west but I experienced the same thing when we were going with the wind. This seems to have gotten worse. It's nerve-wracking to drive this way. Anyone else experiencing this?"

Kyle. In your free time please find a way to range test (70mph & 10%) the 2022-3 Model Y AWD (4680 structural battery). I think it might be sweet spot like the the LFP Model 3 RWD. Will be look into to the future for Tesla. Predicting, if others haven't, the 4680 will be powering the refreshed Model 3 Long Range when it goes back on sale. Thanks.

Would love to see this same test on the 19” Gemini wheels!

I got 250 Wh/mi driving 90 miles to my 2nd home....and that's with 19" oem on model Y performance....it's actually nice to get the range that is displayed. :-)

"Full charge, just waiting for you" is a loving caress compared to squeezing out every last electron. That kind of abuse s/b illegal, but there seems to be a whole KZfaq cottage industry built around it.

I miss Alyssa.

I keep changing my mind between three cars for me to buy next year - Save money and get a Model Y, Spend more money and get a Taycan, Spend the same and get a Polestar 3 or a wild card of a Q6 E Tron. I am still leaning towards saving money and getting a Model Y Performance. I own a Q8 Hybrid right now but i want to go fully electric next car, would have to order some of them soon though.

need to test the new 4680 Model Y with 279 Miles EPA

Can you test the model y range for a stop-and-go traffic scenario? This would be helpful information for tesla owners to know under situations such as hurricane or wildfire evacuation, when they need to move 200ish miles to safety!

Great to see the Model Y Long Range range test! I just recently picked one up for myself about a month ago and the mile estimate on the battery indicator is definitely set to 330. I have the induction wheels as well, so it seems like Tesla just doesn't account for the different tires which is interesting. Keep up the good work!

The right side vent shuts itself off if there's only a driver in the car, at least that's how my 21 Model 3 performs.

Excellent video. You do a great job on these. So thank you. That said, the "longest" range Model Y at 330mi has significantly less range than the "worst" petroleum power cars/trucks I have owned. In fact, the Toyota I currently own can easily get 600mi on a tank without much effort. When you combine the real world shorter range of the best EV's with the extended refueling times, it really adds a lot of time to longer road trips.

This is like watching that Seinfeld episode where Kramer is driving car on E.

Too bad I'm in Mesa AZ not really near Colorado since my wife and I just got a brand new 2023 Model Y Performance (on the 21"s which are standard) which would be an interesting range comparison. Love the speed of this thing.

Alyssa is ALWAYS needed! Hi Alyssa!

Love the Model Y, great car! I drive mine from Cheyenne to Salt Lake fairly often and it does amazing at the road trip! Appreciate your videos!

11:09 - I bet the forward collision warning was because you were looking away and were approaching a stopped car.

You should run the factory degradation test on a new Tesla to see what it reports. Curious. Doubt it would show 0% degradation.

Thanks for the always great videos. We can really tell that you’re passionate about what you do if possible I would love to see videos, showing one pedal driving versus really trying to max out range with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV 6 regen paddles and maybe even compare that to the one pedal only/chill mode on model 3 or Y if that’s not too apples and oranges. PS, just to let you know I’m not a fan of one paddle I like to be able to coast whenever I can down hills or into in the distance stop lights.

Shocked to hear Alyssa’s name mentioned. Most of us thought that relationship sailed-away.

For me, the buying decision is between a GV60 and a MYLR. I love the luxury, along with the fit & finish of the Genesis but the Tesla is the no-brainer choice in many ways - including the $5,000 incentive in Canada that the Genesis doesn't qualify for. The GV60 you tested came in at 250 miles, the MYLR at 286. Not a huge difference, but in winter cold it might mean *all* the difference for us. Resale value is a consideration too. The GV60's depreciates like a used Jaguar while the MYLR holds it's value more like a Honda Civic. I suppose if I wait long enough, a used GV60 can be had at 50% off MSRP - which just won't happen with the MYLR. Decisions, decisions...

Came over to compare to your Nissan Aria 70 mile test. Here you put up a 27 minute video and the results are giving in 15 seconds, without a graphic at the very end of the video. You really need to standardize the comparisons and provide a graphical comparison that you leave on the screen for 10 or 15 seconds - so much effort is put into these videos but you can’t assume that everyone wants to do the math on the back end.

The forward collision warning beeped because you were looking away

The name of that charging station is kinda sus.

I think a brand new Y with the aero wheels could crack 300!

Kyles stoke is infectious

I've found that driving my 2019 M3LR to my ILs, there is a stretch of 200 miles without superchargers (South Dakota FTW) and we get there with about 10% SOC. And my efficiency is terrible in town as well, which is pretty disappointing. The fact that you get close to 290 miles is amazing and a little disheartening for me. Glad there is a semi-competitive EV market out there now. Kia EV9 will probably be our next EV, trading in the M3.

286 miles out of 316? That's supposed to be good? 10% under?

I checked my Model 3 LR with scan my Tesla and the buffer is 3.5kwh.

on my model 3 RWD I get around 199 wh/mi with 220 wh/mi on the higher end

Thanks for this, of course … but aren’t we due an explainer as to what to expect from Tesla and their newer 4680 batteries?

Tesla claimed EPA ranges are based on 62 mph constant speed. Just go 62 mph constantly and you can cover the claimed EPA range.

Very impressive given inefficient wheel option. Am interested to hear what the ‘23 MY on Gemini aero wheels could get.

How about normal driving range test. Mostly city driving and then some Highway. Isn't that what most electric vehicle owners do. I understand it's faster to expedite a test with highway driving only, but I don't know how accurate a range test it would be for most people.

Like so many of these KZfaq tests of EV range, they are all performed basically using an interstate with little to no, hills. Therefore they are operating in an environment that is most advantageous to EV operation. Try testing an EV in a state such as Tennessee and watch that range evaporate far quicker. In hilly Tennessee, on I-75, the Tesla model Y long range, probably has a battery range of 90-150 miles.

Interesting I'm getting 269 WH/MI on the Model Y performance with 21" @ 70 mph with uber turbine, this is with 18,000 miles. I find I can get about 220 miles from 100% - 10%. Never went below 10% charge.

Talk nerdy EV lingo to me! 😍

Can you range test the Ford Mach e California route 1 AWD. Nobody has done that so far.

People should know the difference between Model 3 SR v/s Model Y LR at highway speeds is ~25 miles(not 60 miles). The EPA rating doesn’t matter at all. This is important to know because M3 SR - M3 LR - MY LR are all at $5k upgrades. Most people end up buying MY LR because upgrade from M3 LR is just $5k. But really the range difference is minimal and not relevant, either in regular day driving or road trips. Longer range versions are not required. I’m not sure how slow the charging curve is on M3 SR with LFP battery pack. Maybe that would make a difference of about ~10mins per charging stop during road trips, not sure.

This video was great man. Great detail and well thought out experiment

Excellent. Thank you for frequently mentioning the miles traveled throughout the test. Well done. -‘21 Plaid S :)

Awesome video - so curious to see the same test on the 19” aero wheels. Maybe a 5% increase in range?

I noticed my '24 Model Y Long Range automatically turns off the passenger side AC vents if I am driving solo. I'm averaging 275 Wh/mi so far on my daily commute. Running the 19" Gemini wheels with aftermarket wheel covers.

Would love to see a ICE comparison to this test! To see EPA range vs real world mileage.

That’s impressive.

“Plug in so we don’t hurt the battery” does this mean it’s okay to bring it that low as long as you immediately charge it?

I wish you have put a longer version of this video on "out of spec motoring"

My Model Y LR on aero wheels actually got 316 miles when new at 55 miles per. It was an agonizingly slow trip, but it can do it if you watch your speed. Edit: and I did not run it down to 0. I still had 2% left in the battery

So what's a brand new 2024 Model Y LR with the standard 19" wheels go up to in a similar test? Looking to buy one and would like to know Kyle's real world 70 MPH Highway Range for that kind of car.

A hybrid getting 50MPG would be an overall better purchase. 6 gallons of gas @4.50 would be $27, charging at a supercharger @.50 cent a KwH would be $40 to do the same mileage....

Love my MYP.

You are good at what you do. 😀

I’ve rented EVs when traveling for work and they usually want it back at 90%+ charge and I’m like “do you know how long that can take?” Lol because you have to basically get it to 100% to make it back to the rental at 90%

@outofspecreviews hey Kyle, you think you can get your hands on a model y 4680 to do a range test on that?

The reviews I'm curious to see are testing a model 3 with the lithium polymer battery instead of the lithium ion battery and a model y with again the polymer battery The two that you're supposed to charge to 100% every time anyway and seeing what the range on those is when you run them completely dead or almost completely dead like you did with this one maybe you'll have to do that with your father's model. 3.

Starting next month I will be driving 220 miles round trip a day for the next two years. I’d like to get the 2024 model y long range AWD. Would I be able to safely make it there and back on one charge?

I think the EPA rated range is based on the default 19" wheels of 330 miles. 322 miles is from Tesla's estimated battery health. I've tried changing my model 3's displayed wheel and noticed the range (divide displayed miles by %) doesn't change.

Kyle, Would love for you to do this with a model Y performance since the P model has a slightly different motor + the 21s 🧐

It's just so weird that the Y can do that kind of range and charge well but still loses to the Porsche in the new test by a bunch.

Forward Collision Warning is really annoying lately! It's giving erroneous alerts a lot lately! I love my 2023 M3 but this is seriously affecting my Tesla insurance!

Did this Model Y have more range than the 2022 Model 3 Performance?

286 miles is identical to the range test for the Rivian R1S on this channel 👀

we count 270 cuz thats what ppl can expect to get out of it

Austin built car? 4680 batteries? Front/rear with structural battery? Nice results.

Thank you for all your videos and information…..can you please help me my model 3 rwd 2023 loose a lot of range every night..now is showing 244 maybe I’m doing something wrong 17k miles? 120 v home and supercharger

Really stress that the range displayed on the screen is not based on driving history. I find that so many people thing it is based on driving history, so therefore stress this even more so all understand it when they visit your tests.

That’s really good range considering.

That has definitly happened to me in my model 3. It is probably just some software glitch that happens occasionally and then fixes itself after some time.

TFTC Now do the poverty edition (AWD)

x: never fully deplete the battery! y: don't worry, it's a rental. x: oh.

Wow!! With some degradation AND the uber heavy wheels too. Very impressive. With the lighter wheels it would be over 300 even with 12k miles.
