Roof Basket And Tesla Range - Interesting Findings!

- One of my main concerns with an electric car, due to its inherently high efficiency, was how badly range would be affected by everyday things like carrying un-aerodynamic loads on the roof.

I did some interesting experiments when I took our camping setup to my parents‘ house a few weeks ago. I made a series of really interesting discoveries and tested a range of speeds. Turns out the Tesla has a brilliant secret feature up its sleeve!

Excellent video as always Ben. I saw this hitch that holds a motorcycle like a bicycle on the back of a Model Y, it is called the RackNRide. My mind was blown!
Thanks, useful information
Thank you for this. 🙏
Great breakdown of the topic. I just discovered that graph on my recent batch of longer road-trips, and really appreciate Tesla for adding these sorts of metrics.
I wish my retention graphs for some of my TH-cam videos looked like these graphs 😅
Great work as always 👍
Hey Ben, how about another Tesla video on your interior organisation? We have a Y arriving in a few weeks and be interested to hear your thoughts on "kid-proofing" the rear from damage, plus whether any of the vast number of aftermarket storage bins etc have proven useful...
3:10 👍 nice
Would love to know your thoughts on battery degregration, charging habits and max charge setting for daily use…
Charging habits and max daily limit will correlate to battery degradation. Basically I avoid bottom and top 20% for daily use (fine for longer trips) and I don't expect battery degradation to be significant enough to worry about this side of 10 years.
Tesla has nailed accuracy with percentage but not with Miles. My dual motor model y has never made it much over 200 miles when it's supposed to ger 330 miles on a full charge
Hello. Does the Thule Canyon XT work ok on this car in terms of installing it? You have used the orginal Model Y roof rack, right? I want to do the same with my Tesla Model 3.
Yep Canyon XT works a treat. Yep Tesla official rack.
Thanks for the reply! @@BenVallack
Does it change all the supercharge stops that were initially suggested on the map? I hate when it puts stops on the map with 15% battery left if you charge there.. adding a cargo box will just increase my anxiety. I'd like the map to set the minimum acceptable charge for each stop.. i don't mind to stop mire often.. better stop more often than being towed. Anyway, i've added a roof cargo box and was wondering it it remember, notice and set the route differently now, or does it set back to factory calibration by default everytime you turn off the vehicle
I wasn’t ever in a journey that needed a supercharging to find that out but given it dropped all the estimated range at the start of the journey I’m assuming it would do. It might just tell you to drop the speed. I’m pretty sure it does this calibration each journey based on the consumption it sees.
I know the super charger stops are dynamic. I once got a reroute to a different supercharger because the other one was too busy. I never went into your suggested situation, but i guess it will just reroute fine.
I’d love to see a video expressing your thoughts on Model Y LR vs Performance
Heh yeah someone lend me a performance and I’ll be all over it!
The ground clearance reduction would put me off though. I bought the Y for the additional clearance.
Resistance is proportionaly to speed in the power of 2. So, in km/h it would be increase 112^2/96^2 = 1.36=(70/60)^2 (same result in miles). As the car has very good aerodinamics you do not notice that 36% hit without anything on the roof. But once you add basket and stuff you will see. The problem is that to you can't drive 60 becase your time cost money and if you compare cost of the lost enery and cost of your time you need drive max possible speed. It would be wonderfull if the car could fully drive on it's own and you sleep in there or do your own stuff like even watching windows and relaxing. In that case it worth to go 60. Would be interesting to see comparison in drop with roof box which have better aerodinamics than the stuff dropped into the busket.
Really great follow up. Would love to see some kind of comparison with a roof box at 70mph, but I understand that that's a difficult thing to try out!
cheers! Yeah - I’m sure the roof box would offer a bit of an improvement not enough to outweigh all the other issues I have with them!
The car has a meter that shows real-time and over-time power consumption. This would be a more straightforward and accurate way to measure this.
Why not put a tarp with straps to cover the gear?
Not needed with those drybags - they are tough and water proof.
@@BenVallack I thought a closed in tarp may help streamline the airflow and reduce drag, improving range.
