If you do the math, the 211.8 mile roundtrip consumed 56.128 kW (or 266 wh/mi efficiency). Roughly 3.77 miles per 1 kWh, or 282 miles of range based upon the 75 kWh available in the battery pack (it's 78 kWh but 3 kWh isn't usable). Very good range considering the speeds on the highway. For comparison, a Ford Mach-E Extended Range AWD is around 3.0 miles per kWh, or 334 wh/mi efficiency.
There are huge differences in range at 80mph, 75 mph, and 65 mph. Slower speed reduces power consumption per mile and gives much higher range. When I have time and need longest range, I would drive at 55-65mph. When I’m a rush and have enough energy from my battery to burn, I would drive fast at 75-85mph. We cannot expect spec range at any speed.
Here is data point. I drove from Denver to just over the Wyoming border to get fireworks for my son's birthday party. It was outdoor so we had to do something. The profile pic is old. He turned 15. It goes by fast. Anyway, it's 204 miles round trip. I started at 100% ended at exactly 25% which was 65-66 miles on the range estimate. The navigator actually called it at 25% when I started out. It was cold, 25 F. I have 2021 model 3 long range, dual motor with 18" wheels and I use the much maligned hubcaps. It's common knowledge that the cold weather derates the battery. It looks my range is about 269 mile on a full charge. The 2021 3 is rated for 353 miles so that is 76% of the rated mileage. I suppose that is Ok. I drove with temp at 70 and my seat heated full blast around 75-80 mph. It's a point of reference.
I just rented the same model. Dual motor, 2021. It was 105 degrees outside. Went from San Antonio to Austin. I only got 122 miles while using 82% battery. I had to charge back up in austin to get back. Charged back to 90% and when I got back to San Antonio we were back to 30% left. I was in chill mode, mainly using auto pilot. I was burning 359 wh/mi. In total I drove 247 round trip. Burned 86 kWh. Extremely dissapointed! It cost me $30 in charging fee's. I could have spent that in gas doing the same trip at $4.00 a gal.
We love ❤️ ❤️❤️ our Model Y. We’re in the senior set (ok boomer) and love it for reasons that usually are not mentioned in videos. Major one is comfort. Most comfortable car seats I’ve ever sat in, best ride quality, very quiet and not at all stressful to drive. The enhanced cruise control and autopilot make long trips so much easier. And charging hasn’t been such a big deal. We charge in our garage and on road trips just put in the destination and follow the car’s instructions for supercharging stops. The superchargers have been easy to find and usually by the time we both go pee, walk the dog, and maybe get snacks the car is finished. And if it needs more time we just listen to music (fantastic sound) or play a game. I would recommend a Tesla to any older person.
Definitely interested in purchasing a Tesla Model Y so I appreciate these videos... binge watching while laughing my butt off b/c you’re definitely hilarious... thanks dude!
I don’t like how you now need to pay attention to other factors like weather to determine if your going to get good range or not. If you are driving around town, who cares really. But for longer drives or road trips, I’m still not sold on EVs for now.
@@AudioVisionary000 agreed - it’s disingenuous when all these EV reviewers just state Tesla has the best range. I’m not so sure that’s the case, I’ve heard other manufacturers real-time range projections are far more accurate and often outperform stated EPA range. I never sniffed 326 when had the Y.
If you run the AC on AUTO, you’ll get better efficiency. Turning the temp low and the fan low is counter-productive because the compressor will make a lot of “cold”, but the low fan speed won’t bring all of that cold into the cabin. In AUTO, you can use a higher temp and still be comfortable. I get it, most people take it out of AUTO because when they first get-into a hot car, the AUTO fan is too high/loud, so they manually turn it down. It will slow the fan down as the cabin cools. TL;DR: use AC in AUTO mode
I am doing the same video but in cold weather. The hit on range is pretty significant-more than I thought. Thanks for sharing-wish I had your weather around now.
Yeah, I was a caught by surprise by the range loss in cold weather. It's good that content providers like you put the info. out there for people thinking about E.V.s in cold climates.
@@mikemcintosh9933 Agreed, I picked up my Y on November 1st and live in Upstate New York. I have yet to get 220 mile on a 95% charge because it has not been over 50 degrees! Still love my Y but planning is a must!
Thanks, that's exactly the piece of info I was looking for; that's a difference of 2,600 feet between the legs. I'm sure that's the major difference between the two.
Tuscon is 2389 feet in elevation, Phoenix is 1186 feet in elevation--this would have been a factor in your results--that and how much you used the AC on each leg. Head winds or tail winds can make a difference. But climbing or descending over 1200 feet is a significant factor. "The car ran very efficiently on the way back."--because it was all down hill.
Just got a Model Y long range and drove it from MA to VT when temp was in the 30's. One hill (at the very end of the drive) is 3.9 miles long with about 1300 ft of elevation net gain and total elevation change is 1390 ft. up with 90 ft. down. Consumed 7% of the battery. Total trip is 238 miles with 10,000 ft. of up hill and 9,000 of downhills. Needed to stop once to charge (25 min, 35%). Doing the trip again this weekend in temps starting at 25F and finishing at 4F (yup that's cold) we'll see what happens.
I'm saving up for the Model Y but if Tesla can't get the range over 400 Miles at a full charge then I'm not going to do it. For the people that don't know in the comments, Tesla shows you the range of their vehicles at a full charge, so for a long range Model Y, they say you have 326 miles. For daily driving to reduce battery degradation, they recommend only charging to 80%. Well 80% of 326 is about 260 miles for daily driving, which should be enough depending on your commute but I bet you aren't as comfortable with the 260 mile range vs the 326 mile. That's a little misleading in my book, so that is why I won't get one until the full charge range is 400 miles or higher.
Tucson is about ~1200 feet higher in elevation than Phoenix, so you were driving uphill to Tucson and downhill back to Phoenix which may account in part for the difference in efficiency of the 2 legs of the trip.
Did you get my message/question about you having the updated software? I still don’t have the updated software. Would you happen to know how I could get that? I just purchased my car January 31 of 2021 and it’s got the old software on it and it will not update. It’s got 2020.39.110. Please let me know any help would be appreciated
What is the difference between LR and LR + software power boost? Do they get the same performance? Wonder if its better deal if you dont want the bigger wheels/spoiler/brakes.
Bro if your career in medical supplies ever goes south, rest assured you could easily take up a career in stand up comedy.. you are probably one of the funniest content creators I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. If you don’t know, now you know... (I forgot the next line too)
Also, the infotainment system and phone charger (as well as the AC) were using energy, albeit very little. Was the camera plugged in as well?? Just curious. In any case, I found the sweet spot seems to be between 65 and 75 degrees for the highest efficiency in my Model S 70D I've seen kWh of 185 to 245 with that boat of a car. Winter driving without the heat pump on my 2015 definitely sucks up the juice. kWh use jumps to between 350 and 450 on days below 45 degrees. It's amazing. p.s. I know this video was posted over a year ago but am in the market for a new EV and been checking out Model Y and Ioniq 5 range tests. Best regards,
Wait, is it possible now, to turn of the AC or ventilation in general on one side? For example only on the passenger side? Thanks and keep going, great content!
I love this guys energy! He gives me Ryan Reynolds’s vibes lol. Really interactive with his viewers. I have a question tho, have you had the chance to drive a model x yet ? If so how does it compare with the model y? In what ways r they similar or different? Can you make a video covering this? Thanks for the vids man🤙🏼🙏🏼
You should use the offsets for AP.. if you set it to speed limit. Or 5 over like I have mine .. it will climb to the desired speed rather than set at whichever speed it’s at when u set it ..
many say you are not going to stop at a gas station anymore, true but you have to stop at the electric chargers and you have to wait for hours to charge your car depending on the voltage.
@@jesusmt1203 with normal driving, you are really stopping at a super charger couple times a year, while with a gas car, you're at a gas station once every couple weeks. Most people charge at home and have a full battery when needed.
@@jesusmt1203right. Makes no sense to buy an EV if you don't have access to a home charger imo. Your initial comment suggests most people use superchargers which isn't true.
Do you like larger wheels? I heard that they are more bumpy... Also hows white interior holding up? Still debating if i want to go fully stock with standard wheels and black interior or go get configuration you have. Thanks :)
Hi thanks for the vid. Just to clarify, so the difference is: Original display was 295 mi, Actual was roughly 256mi? So almost 40mi LESS than display. So basically if I were to get a model y, when doing road trips, I should expect around -15% mileage from displayed?
Nice ride. This gives me pause about buying the standard range. I think I’m going to need the long range, given the range loss you had. I live in Texas and we have to crank the AC from March to November.
Living in a hot sunny state, how is the heat and light dissipation with the glass roof? Is it blinding in the summer or uncomfortably hot when it's over a 100 outside ?
I was consideration buying the model 3 performance 2022 which has mile range but watching some guy on another video saying that if you drive it fast or hard it only gives him 160 mile range…. Is that true brother ?
Appreciate the video for the humor and this is about my commute... waiting for my F'ing VIN for my MY. 8:26 low tire pressure? Curious how low, since that can impact range.
I believe your speed was much more an impact on your range than the temp.. in my jeep, driving the speed limit gives me 25mpg.. driving with the flow of traffic (10-15-20 over) gives me 19mpg..
147 km at 110 kph and the battery is almost finished , it says slow down to 60 or you will not reach your destination . the idea of 290 plus is a joke . in Australia most of the highways are 110 kph= 68 mph when you are traveling for 500/800 km for a minimum of 2 hours parked to charge the batteries , is not acceptable I am afraid they will have to come along way to be viable for everyday use . all the charging stations out of the city are DIESEL POWERED ,SO MUCH FOR CLEAN GREEN.
People Teslas use more range than displayed. BUT DO NOT AVOID GETTING A TESLA BECAUSE OF THAT. There are plenty of superchargers especially in North America.
These videos are funny, and Gjeebs has a great personality. Fun videos to watch, but for "entertainment only". As for a range test, there is so much information omitted and glossed over that you really aren't learning anything. The info is not otherwise applicable to anyone else's situation. EPA range is based on an estimation of city and highway driving. The real kicker is they don't even drive the car on the road. They mostly use math! So, it is really pointless to compare this to real world driving. Your thought process needs to evolve from ICE car mentality to EV mentality. The power consumption of the car is what matters. The Model 3, for example, is rated at about 245 Wh/m (245 Watt hours per mile) driven. If you average this amount, you will reach the range displayed on the screen. If you average less you will go further and if you average more you will travel less. It is just that simple.
I can write basically anything in any comments as it will be ignored anyway. For the past decade, The Ebrington Arms has won a clutch of awards for it's food and drink including two AA Rosettes for seven consecutive years, the award for CAMRA North Cotswold 'pub of the year' three years running and was rated number one village pub in the UK by The Times in 2017. It brews its own organic ale and offers some delightful rooms. What more could you want?
I had an issue yesterday with Autopilot not staying in the lane properly during a long curve, kind of freaked me out because I was drifting into the left lane. Took control immediately obviously. I also keep both hands on the wheel when I'm near an 18 wheeler haha
It’s practical for home owners to own a Tesla coz they have the freedom of installing a fast home charger on the wall. U can still do that on apartments but 1. Will they (landlords) allow u? 2. U may move one day and that’s a hassle. But if there’s a public charger around your place then obviously don’t bother then.
If you do the math, the 211.8 mile roundtrip consumed 56.128 kW (or 266 wh/mi efficiency). Roughly 3.77 miles per 1 kWh, or 282 miles of range based upon the 75 kWh available in the battery pack (it's 78 kWh but 3 kWh isn't usable). Very good range considering the speeds on the highway.

Glad to hear that! You get some facts and some laughs. That’s my goal
The real world range falls miserably short of EPA estimates. It’s actually insanely frustrating. I’ll charge to 300 miles and barely get 200.
in cold conditions or warm?

The question for owners down south during summer, what's the total range while running the AC non-stop.
Just got a MY myself. Tesla numbers are all fake. The battery size is around 55kwh
102mi in 1 hour 52 mins, that's really slow. It means you have to drive at 50 or 55/h to get to this efficiency.
If you run the AC on AUTO, you’ll get better efficiency.

@6:58 you're driving 75 with a speedlimit of 55?
Keeping them gaps consistent!
Phoenix elevation: 1086ft. Tucson elevation: 2389ft. Driving downhill probably helped you get better efficiency on the way back

Possibly, but since Tesla’s software lies on 100-50% range vs 50-0% range this might be the issue. It’s more accurate from 50-0%.
Like your dry sense of humor...thanks :)
Liked watching your vids. Picking up my Model Y tomorrow! Same spec (except I went with a preferred black interior).
By the way, that analogy of driving electric Vehicle and booty! I literally laughed for five minutes. You are freaking hilarious man

Great information as always. Welcome to Tucson. It is a boring drive, I live in Marana, and drive to Phoenix regularly.
The quality of the video looks great
I do this drive all the time so this video was SUPER helpful.
A summer test would be great (when that time comes).
I wish AutoPilot wouldn't nag me to "apply pressure to the steering wheel"....... thanks for another great vid!
A 1.5lb ankle weight will stop the nagging. Not that I approve of this - be careful :)
lol! put that on a shirt "Eaten booty since 2008 - Tesla lover"
Got me sold on EVs with that analogy.
Just trying to find ways to make it clear to people. Glad to hear that
Mom the man is making a video!
any plans to get the acceleration boost ?
Yep
still I have no idea if this is long range model or just standard....
I was driving around in -10 this weekend in Minnesota and the battery is horrible. I wonder if it's as bad in the summer for you?
Agreed. 2/3 of EPA numbers is realistic.
What I love about this guy is he has no filter on his mouth :D He's like the voice of my inner conscience :D
Nice video. Gives me an idea of what to expect in the real world.
That's efficient while 20% - 30% of range disappeared in a near perfect driving condition?
Lol 😂😂
Buried a body
Eating booty ..... now I want a Tesla
what was the tire pressure? I think you had a warning.
The sensor is messed up the pressure is 45 all around
your thoughts on the refresh Model S

Your tires’ pressure are low, affecting negatively your range
Haha I enjoyed your humor throughout the video. Added something that others don’t usually do. Ill subscribe 😄
Thank you!
Hi thanks for the vid. Just to clarify, so the difference is:
Original display was 295 mi,
Actual was roughly 256mi?
So almost 40mi LESS than display. So basically if I were to get a model y, when doing road trips, I should expect around -15% mileage from displayed?
It all depends on how fast you are driving really
Expect to be disappointed with the range.
Nice ride. This gives me pause about buying the standard range. I think I’m going to need the long range, given the range loss you had. I live in Texas and we have to crank the AC from March to November.
Yea i agree. Save until you can buy what you want/need
I ended up getting the Standard Range, and I love it. I saved almost $12K by buying the SR.
Thanks for your good video .
Please make a video about roof handle inside model Y and ground clearance of model Y .
Thanks
Living in a hot sunny state, how is the heat and light dissipation with the glass roof? Is it blinding in the summer or uncomfortably hot when it's over a 100 outside ?
The roof is heavily tinted so the light dissipation is great. Heat does come through more than a normal car with a metal roof but it’s not bad
I was consideration buying the model 3 performance 2022 which has mile range but watching some guy on another video saying that if you drive it fast or hard it only gives him 160 mile range…. Is that true brother ?
Are you still considering an aftermarket suspension?
It’s ordered just waiting on it
@@Gjeebs I'm very interested if you make a video on this
Great content! I look forward to your videos.
Thank you!
Good video man. Im going to try this but in 5 F temp. Lets see how it goes. Also do you have a affiliate link for your spoiler :)?
Glad all your videos stick solely to science.
Factory range of 326 is probably with the stock wheel/tire combo. If I had to guess, your configuration with the 20" rims and tires should be less.
You should do a range test with the windows down.
Ok you won me over. New subscriber!

They landed on the Moon, multiple times, with 5-7% fuel left.
Awesome car, amazing range! 🔥
I believe your speed was much more an impact on your range than the temp.. in my jeep, driving the speed limit gives me 25mpg.. driving with the flow of traffic (10-15-20 over) gives me 19mpg..

147 km at 110 kph and the battery is almost finished , it says slow down to 60 or you will not reach your destination . the idea of 290 plus is a joke . in Australia most of the highways are 110 kph= 68 mph when you are traveling for 500/800 km for a minimum of 2 hours parked to charge the batteries , is not acceptable I am afraid they will have to come along way to be viable
for everyday use . all the charging stations out of the city are DIESEL POWERED ,SO MUCH FOR CLEAN GREEN.
I’m just here for the sarcasm. High temp here about 5F for the next week. Really sucks for road trips. Barely made the supercharger the other day.
Got much respect for you bro I have the same monster you have in the garage m5 comp 2022
In your hot weather with lots of sun, have you had any issues with the screen getting too much sun exposure? or all good?
No issues at all. Screen as been good
@@Gjeebs Thanks!
FYI - I used your link to order the iPhone holder the code doesn’t work.
Okay I will let them know. Thank you!
It works fine. Maybe you didn’t type it correctly
Think your efficiency would've been better if your tire pressure was fixed? Thanks for the videos!
The tire pressure is 45 all around the the sensor is messed up
People Teslas use more range than displayed. BUT DO NOT AVOID GETTING A TESLA BECAUSE OF THAT. There are plenty of superchargers especially in North America.
Agree
How's the road noise in the Y?
It’s okay. Not as good as Mercedes GLC or BMW X3. I have tested both
Hold on mom😂 Science🤣
These videos are funny, and Gjeebs has a great personality. Fun videos to watch, but for "entertainment only". As for a range test, there is so much information omitted and glossed over that you really aren't learning anything. The info is not otherwise applicable to anyone else's situation.
EPA range is based on an estimation of city and highway driving. The real kicker is they don't even drive the car on the road. They mostly use math! So, it is really pointless to compare this to real world driving. Your thought process needs to evolve from ICE car mentality to EV mentality. The power consumption of the car is what matters. The Model 3, for example, is rated at about 245 Wh/m (245 Watt hours per mile) driven. If you average this amount, you will reach the range displayed on the screen. If you average less you will go further and if you average more you will travel less. It is just that simple.
Great explanation thank you!
Was the starting 295 miles of range 100% or somewhere below?
Slightly below
@@Gjeebs Thanks, it is all about the science ! :-D
I can write basically anything in any comments as it will be ignored anyway.
For the past decade, The Ebrington Arms has won a clutch of awards for it's food and drink including two AA Rosettes for seven consecutive years, the award for CAMRA North Cotswold 'pub of the year' three years running and was rated number one village pub in the UK by The Times in 2017. It brews its own organic ale and offers some delightful rooms. What more could you want?
Fascinating
Thanks, Johnny. Very useful info.
Tesla claimed EPA ranges were based on 62 mph. Now looks like they increased it to 65 mph.
I had an issue yesterday with Autopilot not staying in the lane properly during a long curve, kind of freaked me out because I was drifting into the left lane. Took control immediately obviously. I also keep both hands on the wheel when I'm near an 18 wheeler haha
Haha I’ve sadly had that exact same experience
I never hear about people that live in apartments having a Tesla. Why is that? Is it just meant for homeowners?
It’s practical for home owners to own a Tesla coz they have the freedom of installing a fast home charger on the wall.
U can still do that on apartments but 1. Will they (landlords) allow u?
2. U may move one day and that’s a hassle.
But if there’s a public charger around your place then obviously don’t bother then.
Got that Temai phone mount and center console cover for my Model 3 and absolutely love it
Glad you like it!
On id4 i drive 320 miles on diff specs roads.
Get my long range next month first time Tesla owner here in the uk
Nice! You will love it
Tire pressure warning?
The sensor is broke. They are all at 45
@@Gjeebs things like that are annoying in a new car, but generally speaking you’re happy with the car it seems
