What is the range of the Model Y?
2 Answers
The Model Y has a range of up to 505 kilometers. Here are some details about the Model Y: 1. The Model Y achieves 4.1 miles per kilowatt-hour, which translates to approximately 15.5 kWh per 100 kilometers. Additionally, the Model Y's battery pack has a capacity of around 75 kWh. These figures indicate that the Model Y will use the same power battery pack as the Model 3. 2. According to Tesla, the Model Y shares up to 70% of its parts with the Model 3.
I've been driving the Model Y Long Range for almost a year now, and it's perfectly sufficient for my daily commute. The official range is 688 kilometers, but in reality, I can get around 550 kilometers without any issues. In city traffic with frequent stops, the energy consumption is lower, and the range is more accurate. However, when driving at 120 km/h on the highway, the battery drains faster. Recently, with the hot weather and air conditioning on, I've noticed a significant increase in energy usage compared to spring, estimating a reduction of about 30-40 kilometers in range. Setting the regenerative braking to the strong mode saves a lot of energy, and I'm used to the one-pedal driving mode, barely needing to use the brakes. In winter, using the heater will further reduce the range, but with a home charging station, there's no range anxiety at all. Charging once a week is enough for my 400+ kilometer commute.
