2 Answers
The differences between the two versions of Model Y are as follows: 1. Different range: The Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive version has a range of 505 kilometers; the Model Y Performance version has a range of 480 kilometers. 2. Different acceleration: The Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds; the Model Y Performance version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. Additional information: The Model Y is a compact SUV developed by Tesla. This electric vehicle is the fifth car launched by Tesla since its establishment in 2003. It was released in Los Angeles on March 15, Beijing time. On November 5, 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement," indicating that the domestically produced Tesla Model Y had completed the MIIT application.
I drive the rear-wheel-drive Model Y, and the main differences lie in range and performance. The RWD version's 545 km rated range is sufficient for daily commutes, while the dual-motor AWD version's 660 km range is better suited for long trips. In terms of acceleration, the RWD's 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time is decently stable, but the AWD version rockets to just over 5 seconds, delivering much more noticeable acceleration when overtaking. The most practical consideration is the 70,000 yuan price difference - for city driving like mine, the base model offers great value. There's also battery chemistry to consider: the RWD uses more durable LFP batteries, while the AWD's NCM batteries perform better in cold weather. Charging speeds are similar though, with both adding over 300 km in about half an hour.
