2 Answers
The actual range of the Model Y is 594km, which may vary depending on individual driving habits and the usage of electrical equipment. Below is an introduction to the 2021 Model Y: 1. Model: It is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of 4750mm in length, 1921mm in width, and 1624mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2890mm. 2. Suspension: The 2021 Model Y features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a front induction asynchronous and rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a total motor power of 317kW and a total motor torque of 545Nm, paired with a 1-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
The actual range of the Tesla Model Y varies depending on the model and conditions. When driving the Long Range version daily, I found the official rated range is about 315 miles, but with air conditioning and highway driving, it drops to around 270. In winter, with lower temperatures reducing battery efficiency, it may only reach 230-plus. I remember one road trip where a full charge could still cover nearly 300 miles in the city, but driving at 75 mph on the highway noticeably drained the battery faster, reminding me to plan charging stops carefully. Underinflated tires also reduce range, while maintaining proper tire pressure can improve efficiency slightly. On average, the real-world range fluctuates between 80-90% of the rated value—enough for daily commutes, but long trips require attention to energy-saving modes.
