What is the actual range of the Model Y Standard Range?

Tesla Model Y has three versions with NEDC ranges of 525KM, 540KM, and 594KM respectively. Below are Tesla's range specifications and factors affecting the range: Tesla's Range: The Tesla Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range and Standard Range versions show significantly different deviation rates. The Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range version has a range deviation rate of 12.7%, with an officially claimed range of 668km and an actual tested range of around 583km, resulting in a deviation of approximately 85km. The Standard Range version, however, has a range deviation rate of 31.5%, with an officially claimed range of 468km and an actual tested range of around 321km, resulting in a deviation of approximately 147km. Factors Affecting Range: Battery high and low-temperature technology, optimization of battery BMS technology, upgrades to the vehicle's energy recovery system, lightweight body design, energy-saving technology for hardware equipment, etc. Additionally, external driving conditions, air resistance coefficient, mechanical transmission efficiency, vehicle weight, number of passengers, and other factors can all affect the actual range of an electric vehicle.
I've been driving a Tesla Model Y Standard Range for a while now. The official claim is around 420 km of range, but in reality, it's nowhere near that. For city commuting, I average just over 330 km, and on the highway, it's slightly better at around 350 km. There are too many influencing factors: using the heater in cold weather can drop the range below 300 km, and keeping the AC on also drains the battery quickly. I've tried smooth driving and avoiding sudden acceleration, which can push the range up to 360 km, but it's still much lower than advertised. Charging from 20% to 80% is quite efficient, taking about half an hour, but don't expect to fully charge and go non-stop on long trips. Before buying, it's advisable to leave some margin and plan your trips based on 350 km for more reliability. The car drives well, but the range is definitely a weak point.
