What is the actual range of the Model Y?
2 Answers
Tesla Model Y shows a range of 498 kilometers when fully charged. It consumes more power on highways; if driven at 120 km/h, it can travel approximately 380-400 kilometers. If the speed is around 100 km/h, the range is about 470 kilometers. Additionally, in urban driving conditions, the range is approximately 400 kilometers. Here are some extended details: 1. Model: The Tesla Model Y is a compact SUV developed by Tesla. This electric vehicle is the fifth car launched by Tesla since its founding in 2003 and was released in Los Angeles on March 15, 2019 (Beijing time). It comes in four variants: Standard Range, Long Range, Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive, and Performance. 2. Performance: The Standard Range variant accelerates from 0-96 km/h in 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 193 km/h; the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive variant accelerates from 0-96 km/h in 5.5 seconds with a top speed of 209 km/h; the Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive variant accelerates from 0-96 km/h in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 217 km/h; and the Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Performance variant accelerates from 0-96 km/h in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 241 km/h.
During my time driving the Tesla Model Y, the real-world city range has been quite good, achieving 280-300 km. However, during highway cruising or when using the heater in cold weather, it may drop to 230-250 km. My daily commute is about 50 km round trip, and a single charge lasts me 4-5 days, which is quite hassle-free. It's important to pay attention to driving habits—for instance, rapid acceleration consumes more power, while gentle throttle application can save up to 10% energy. Additionally, the car's navigation system displays real-time remaining range and adjusts based on road conditions, with fairly accurate predictions. Charging is convenient: a home charger fills it up to 80% overnight, while a supercharger can top up half the battery in about 30 minutes. Overall, the experience is smooth, making it suitable for daily commuting and short trips. For occasional long-distance travel, it's advisable to plan charging stops ahead.
