My MY RWD is on a vessel right now enroute to Australia. The timing of your MY videos could not have been better. They are educational and raise the excitement levels. Would love to see more MY content. Thanks.
As mentioned in another comment, I do see a noticible difference between Chill and Standard modes in my driving. Model Y 2023 RWD Shanghai 3D7. Since I do not have faith in my own driving, I stick to Chill mode, else I accelerate too fast. In your measurements I see no diff between the two modes till 50 mph. for me, I think there is, but I have no way to measure that safely. Thanks for this video
There is an obvious dip in the road which would have aided acceleration (-1.2% gradient). Would have been good to do it on level ground. That’s why your times are faster than the official.
I’ve also tried a bit further down towards the Showgrounds late at night and got same slope reading as you did. It looked much more level there. M2 motorway isn’t level either. I haven’t tried M4 or M7 but you’d need to go late at night.
Ok, I will purchase the “max 210 km/h” sticker. The cheapest winter tires are only for 210 km/h. This is allowed when there is a sticker on the dashboard “max 210 km/h”. Thought to avoid this by limiting speed, but at limiting speed, as the manual is written, changes to the low acceleration mode.
I find you really feel the acceleration from a rolling start (which screams its manually limited). If your driving around and slow down to ~30 then need to get back to 100 it does that VERY quickly. You can also appreciate the torque and power much better going up a slight hill and around corners where it can still feel super powerful and fast. Anyway it would be interesting to see the difference at something like that, jumping from a 40 to 100 (like you do when a road works ends on a freeway). I've never owned a performance model but test driving them I really only notice it taking off from a dead stop, and even then its still mutiple times better than any standard petrol car out there. You've just been spoilt for too long! Going from a 2.4L 4cyc FWD to this was still a massive step up!
I really have been spoilt 😁 Check out the last part of my video where I compare all the graphs: you’ll see the difference in the mid acceleration curve between the Y and 3 Performance!
I agree, I have the RWD, when packed with the family and loaded with luggage I find the cars acceleration to be ample, particularly when rolling above 30kph as you've indicated it pulls quite well. Fast enough when the family is on board anyway. I think it's a combination of zero gearbox / gear change and instant torque.
Very interesting the difference is not great though but I think that with a software update Tesla can let the vehicle switch automatically from chill to standard acceleration depending on the quickness of the pedal movement . This might help in an avoidance maneuver don't you think?
Yeah, its only a second slower - but in my 23 Model 3, it is so much more comfortable to drive in Chill mode. Standard seems like a very annoying way to drive the car because it's very touchy. That's my 2 cents. Wouldn't pick a different car to buy at the price point though.
Sure I can just tell you in my next vid how much I’ve driven in the city since my last 100% recharge - we don’t use sentry mode at home so it’ll be a good real world test
I've heard from a reliable source that all MY RWD builds post 27/02/23 are going to come with a comfort suspension. Would be nice if you are able to compare your suspension/ride quality with someone who has received MY RWD built in March to confirm this
@@LudicrousFeedLook like Tesla only apply roll out for performance model but don’t apply roll out for non performance models to make performance model seem like even faster.
Wow not much difference between Standard and Chill. I always wondered if Chill mode would be slower than 7s to 100km/h in a RWD/SR. I think Chill in the Performance 3/Y are all around 7ish from memory, so it does seem all the variants have the same soft lock perhaps. But to be fair, ~6-7s is plenty fast compared to those ~8-13s ICE cars!
Nah, I hate chill mode. I always have to use it when I have my dog in the car, though, otherwise the pooch gets thrown around too much and stops loving me 😏 I'm addicted to my standard 4.4 seconds of M3LR and never going to buy anything slower. I wish I had M3P though... But hope one day to experience Plaid.
@@LudicrousFeed Only the performance is quoted with rollout. If you visit the page and scroll down to Model Y Specs you can see it- Performance *Acceleration 3.7 s 0-100km/h with rollout subtracted RWD Acceleration 6.9 s 0-100km/h Long Range AWD Acceleration 5.0 s 0-100km/h Pedantic I know but no one is getting even close to 0-100km in 3.7s in the MYP , I’ve not seen any Australian numbers under 4.0, most around 4.1-4.2 which is very disappointing given the hype ( and I own one) M3P is also quoted with rollout subtracted to get the claimed 3.3s
3:44 Great comparison of charts. If we're going for sub 6s times anyway, I think the G-Force is a notable metric to gauge how tread wear differs between the two. Makes me curious how this compared to a FWD car with around 181lbft hp or 245 Nm of torque. (Versus the ~400Nm for the Model Y RWD).
What Motor is in your Y RWD ? 3D7, 3D6 or 4D1? In germany all Model Y RWD build in China with CATL Battery have the 3D7 Motor with only 88kW constant 30min power and all new Y RWD build in Germany with BYD Battery currently have the 3D6 Performance Motor and 100kW constant 30min power. Should be a little bit faster :)
I did not know that the 3D6 was a more powerful motor than the 3D7. I got a 3D7 in NL because I picked up an inventory car in end of March. I have the 3D7 (got that from the VIN check, not sure if there is another way to find that info). To my un-sientific gut feeling there is a significant difference in acceleration in Chill vs Standard. I keep it in Chill 99% of the time because I tend to hit the pedal real hard, so for my own safety I keep it in Chill (MY RWD Shanghai 2023)
Hi Tom, I was wondering if you have had the opportunity to drive a Model S Plaid yet and wondered what your thoughts were on its performance levels (in reality) compared to a M3P or MYP etc.
Do you feel much difference in driving experience between Model Y and Model 3 performance in day to day driving around the Sydney? As model Y RWD price is probably the same as used Model 3 performance. It would be great to know which one to choose. Appreciate if you share your experience.
It's nice being slightly higher off the ground and the ride quality is much better in the 2023 Y compared to the 2019 3. The AMD Ryzen powered Y infotainment screen seems to be more responsive than the Intel powered 2019 3. There are also other minor things eg better sound insulation in the Y. Of course the compromise is that the acceleration is slower in the new Y
Pari, you’ve copied and pasted at least this twice in my comments that I’ve seen now. Did you come up with this list or did you take it from somewhere else?
I mean some of those points are subjective: suspension, belt sound? Below average stability control - huh? Door sounds cheap? Probably shouldn’t be sticking your head out the window anyway Also, not many EVs come supplied with a Type 2 EV cable I mean I’ll grant that some of those things are true eg no UMC, high beam issue but I think buyers need to look at the overall picture when choosing an EV Genuine question: how much time have you spent driving a 3/Y?
No worries Pari, but I can assure you that over the years I’ve made note of issues in both 3/Y in my videos as well as in other EVs. Please note also that I also don’t receive payment from Tesla or other EV /car manufacturers apart from a loan of their vehicle for the week or referral charging credit from Tesla
Anyone getting this car and expecting faster acceleration is self deluded. May think there is no shortage of that around. I just wish our MY would have far less interior rattles and squeaks. Disappointing to say the least.
Credit where credit is due, the Model 3 performance is just crazy quick when compared to any car anywhere near the same price point. The model Y at sub 7 seconds is still quick, you have simply been spoiled.

Yup hence why the RaceBox device had corrected times
Might have to head out onto the track one of these days 😁🏁
Why not just try it on a level road?
Easier said than done in my part of Sydney 😬
@@LudicrousFeed I can vouch for that too around here. I bought a draggy device but no matter where I try it it keeps saying there is a slope.
I’ve also tried a bit further down towards the Showgrounds late at night and got same slope reading as you did. It looked much more level there. M2 motorway isn’t level either. I haven’t tried M4 or M7 but you’d need to go late at night.

Thanks for great video with nice data and illustrations ;-)
Pleasure 👍
Wish there were some ways to boost the performance. Happy to pay for it.
You can with the M3LR and possibly MYLR when they’re delivered
@@LudicrousFeed Already have the RWD MY. lol will keep it a few years before upgrading.
A good wrap might make it look faster. 😋
Man i love you're a local to where I am so I know all the spots in the video hahah
😁
Tom can you do a city range test please under 80 km/h without sentry mode. Everyone does motorways, but real city driving would be great to know...
Sure I can just tell you in my next vid how much I’ve driven in the city since my last 100% recharge - we don’t use sentry mode at home so it’ll be a good real world test
Hi Tesla Tom, what payments option should one select if they organise 3rd party financing instead of going through Tesla? Is it cash or finance?
Select loan. Either way you need the initial deposit to secure your order
Great vid Tom, do you think you could do a similar test for highway acceleration, say 50kph to 110kph.
I'll see what I can do!
@@LudicrousFeed Amazing

@@LudicrousFeed Great thanks
The official Tesla 0-100 speed should be 6.9 seconds, then is 6.9 the average of your standard and chill mode speeds?
Tesla uses the 1-foot rollout correction hence why their acceleration speeds tend to be quicker
By the way I see other TH-camrs can have around 6.9 seconds test results, so I am confused.
@@LudicrousFeedLook like Tesla only apply roll out for performance model but don’t apply roll out for non performance models to make performance model seem like even faster.

@@LudicrousFeed Not for me , always have it on standard mode M3LR.

Turn off the 1ft rollout setting , then it will be even slower/more realistic.
Tesla uses 1ft rollout in their specs no?
