What is the actual range of the Tesla Model Y?
2 Answers
Tesla Model Y has an actual range of 356 km to 387 km. The range capability of the Tesla Model Y is divided into low-speed range and high-speed range, which differ from each other. Below are the specific details: Low-speed range capability: With acceleration set to Chill mode, regenerative braking adjusted to standard, air conditioning set to 23 degrees with automatic fan speed, and trip meter reset, the low-speed range energy consumption is 19.9 kWh/100 km. Based on the battery capacity, the actual low-speed range of the Model Y is only 387 km. High-speed range capability: Calculated based on the actual charging capacity and actual driving distance, the high-speed range energy consumption is 21.6 kWh/100 km. According to the battery capacity, the actual high-speed range of the Model Y is 356 km. Tesla charging methods: The first method is to connect to a standard 120V household power supply. The second method is high-efficiency charging. The third method is using a Supercharger station, which can fully charge the battery in just one hour.
I've been driving the Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive for almost a year now, and honestly, the official range of 554 km isn't achievable in real-world conditions. For city commuting with air conditioning on, it's around 480 km, dropping to about 420 km in winter. If you're driving at a constant 120 km/h on the highway, the range is directly reduced by 20%. The Long Range version is rated at 688 km, but realistically, 550-600 km is typical, depending on driving style. The car's displayed range is dynamic, calculating the actual mileage based on recent energy consumption habits, which is much more reliable than some brands that overstate their range. The most energy-consuming scenario is using the heater and seat warmers in winter, where the energy consumption can spike to 18 kWh per 100 km. For new drivers, it's advisable to plan charging based on 85% of the displayed range.
