Agreed, Tesla needs to move the arrival SOC info to the top of the Turn by Turn info. Great vid as usual.
Very impressive efficiency for such a large spacious suv. Stopped off at the Lifton supercharger last year, wife was very impressed with the location. Had drinks and a bit to eat from the deli. Sat on the benches near the chargers enjoying the sun.
Lovely roads and views!!
I have my model Y a week, I love it!
Always excited when i see a RSEV notification
I picked my Model Y up from Southampton too. I was panicking and getting range anxiety when I was going to get home with 15% let alone 3%. Supremely confident! Keep up the great videos
We live up a hill the range meter never factors this in... So I try and make sure it is guessing at 5-6% left on destination because if will always be 3% lower.
Well Denmark is pretty flat so my experience with the “Estimated state of charge at arrival” is pretty much spot on always
@@onlineo2263 true, but if you make it, you'll get some of that energy back again going down. I used 5% of battery to get up Tamborine Mountain in Queensland, but put 3% back in on the descent. No fuel car can do that.
Enjoyed this,love your videos
Brilliant as always…
I commute from Hertfordshire to Falmouth in my M3 LR and stop off at the Lifton supercharger almost every week. I concur, the coffee at the Arundell Arms Deli is probably the best on the route.
Really enjoy the content, keep up the good work Richard and your team.
Looking forward to this 🙋🏻♂️👍🏻
Great video! Always enjoying seeing a bit of Britain as you travel about. I test drove a Model Y yesterday and was very impressed.
Great video Richard. I always enjoy your content. Especially when you keep reaffirming the choice I've made to order a Y. :)
Lifton my favorite stop on the way to Cornwall. Collected my Y same day and place as you Richard, haven't done a long run so this video very relevant for my planning. Cheers!
Another great range test and to my humble town no less! I wish I'd known would have loved to say hi and have a look at the Y up close.
Love these videos. I have my Y on order. Cant wait.
It’s amazing. The best feature ? Incredible audio… just mind blowing.
Really good video Richard. 👏
Very informative video - thank you
I picked up my Y the same day as yourself and I'm really pleased with it so far but haven't had chance to take it on a long run yet so your video was very useful. Like yourself I don't follow miles remaining next to battery symbol I use the same trip miles last 5/15/30 graph that was on model 3. This I find very accurate but you do as you said keep flicking between map and graph map app, not really a problem just to flick over every know and then. The trip arrival graph is quite good and is mostly correct.
The graph on the Trip tab of the Energy screen is useful for seeing your estimated arrival percentage. If you add it to the application bar, you can easily pop it up and down.
Very useful video, Richard - thanks!
For a fuel car/EV comparison, here are some real numbers from my Mazda3 Sport Maxx and the Tesla Model 3 SR+ which replaced it, using a conversion factor of 1L of petrol = 8.76 kWh of energy.
The Mazda's 51L fuel tank when full held 447 kWh, and used 644 Wh/km, giving a range of 699 km, at a cost of 0.13 AU$/km.
The Tesla's battery when full holds 53.6 kWh, and uses 132 Wh/km, giving a range of 406 km, at a cost of 0.02 AU$/km (charging overnight at home).
This means the Mazda needs an energy capacity 8 x bigger to travel 1.7 times as far, and costing over 7 times as much per km driven. That says something about the efficiency of EVs, especially as the Tesla has almost twice the power (211 kW vs 114 kW).
Thanks for another great update video. What does the y long range charging like as fast as the 3 lr ?
Good video. I'm always surprised by how much mileage can be wrung out of a Tesla at motorway speeds. They are slippery. Wonder what they're like when they are a bit dirty - real world.!
I've made that same journey (but from Southampton) dozens of times over the years, to all points of Cornwall. I always note the viewing points as I go past them - for example, the Charborough Estate with the red brick wall and the gates with a lion and stag. It gives me that sense of progressing the journey.
Interesting video thanks, two questions before I decide if a Tesla is right for me. First off does the lack of a rear wiper cause issues and secondly how distracting is it not having a speedo in front of you? I ask because my current car has a projected heads up display on the windscreen and I find that really useful not only for watching my speed but satnav directions as well.
That Lifton Supercharger site looked lovely - and very "Tesla", having a posh 'deli' to dine at...
The rapid chargers the rest of us 'non-Tesla' owners have to use are usually outside a MacDonalds...!! 🤣
Great video. On your journey back, did you drop your speed at all to compensate for the fact you were making it home without a top up?
Saw my first Model Y today on the way back from the gym, lovely looking car!
Man looks are surely objective but I just cannot see how people think the y or model3 is great looking a. They remind me of soap bars. Just boring
Lifton SC is great, and the Arundel is very hospitable. Nice to see it busy on a regular weekday. The deli/ cafe is fantastic. Maybe they could add some more chargers there.... ;-)
Tesla’s efficiency is second to none. They never cease to amaze me. Hoping to start my electric car journey this year with a model 3 standard range. Your video on the latest one proved how efficient that was too.
The RWD is the most efficient of all - over 2 years and 22,000 miles driven in all 4 seasons I've averaged 214 Wh/mi since new and in the summer regularly see consumption figures in 166-199 range. You'll love it.
I know that supercharger well :) Nice video 👍
Hi Richard, love watching your very informative videos; great work. Could I ask, I currently have a BMW i3S and one of these on order, how does the suspension compare with the BMW? Thanks in advance.
Not Richard, but reviews across the board say that the Model Y suspension is noticeably firm compared to German premium cars like BMW and Audi.
Great new chargers just outside of redruth.
Ali’s do a good burger! Nice to see bits of my part of the world.
Richard. Would be nice if you could let a potential future buyer roughly know what it costs to use the supercharger each time you fill up so I and other could see how it pans out against the every more expensive fuel prices we are seeing at the moment. Thanks pal, appreciated. 👍
Great video, just discovered your channel. Top content! 👍🏼 I’m looking to buy the same model as you have here, how do you find the firm ride on long journeys? Tiring/frustrating or tolerable/enjoyable?!
On longer journeys it tends to be motorway and there I don’t mind it.
The drive through town to school is where it’s most crashy.
All depends what you had before, but You get used to it.
Random question, how much is the acceleration boost add on here in the UK for the Y? Thanks in advance all! X
Great video collecting mine next week really informative does the car still drive if you hit zero percent 2 percent was relatively low i got my m3p down to 6 percent and felt range anxiety
The cars will drive at 0% Needless to say, don't do that. Find a charger.
When you hit 0% you are at 6% actually. But it's not that great for the battery anyway so try to avoid it if possible.
Would you personally go for Enhanced Autopilot / Full Driving Capability?
1:21 good ol' Holdenhurst Road
I have had my EV drop into turtle mode after a long trip home on a cold morning and I got to 6% before arriving home. Not actually bad when you know you are almost home and can charge there!
What’s the cost of charging & in terms of vs petrol for the trip?
Regarding the arrival percentage issue, does Tesla have a customer feedback mechanism? Those kind of UI “mistakes” should be an easy fix. I hear plenty of long term Tesla owners complaining about the new UI.
Do a comparision test with the others SUV, like the EV6 AWD, IONIQ 5, etc !! Superb vid Richard !!
What comparison? ;) EV6 and Ioniq 5 are close to the Tesla in pure efficiency. Just lacking some because of cold gating.
@@espencapable No they are certainly not as efficient. Ioniq 5 at motorway speeds has a consumption that 15 - 20% higher than Tesla MY.
We have th-cam.com/video/IiAlvFEs5YA/w-d-xo.html
Richard, I think your range average was 242 miles on a full charge According to what you said in the video, starting at 85% charging at 31% to 90% and getting home with 2%. That’s 142% of battery to go 344 miles. Did I do that correctly? It’s fine range, with 100kWh usage reported then the battery would be 70kWh + losses. Does that make sense, not familiar with the claimed usable for a Model Y LR.
Great to see decent range. Everyone driving a bit slower these days to save fuel…Has anyone had an update to say the MYP is now due end of 22 rather than the original date of mid 22?
Yes been pushed back for myp… 🤦♂️ not quite sure how much a performance version of the Y is needed in my opinion tbh
Getting mine in a month or so. First full ev and very excited. Will be doing average 25,000 miles per year so will be interesting how range works out. Very nearly got m3lr for extra range but it seemed so cramped vs mylr
That will be interesting.
I do roughly the same miles had a Model S for 3 years drove me mad. Couldn’t give it to me wife fast enough the end. I do tend to get on with it speed wise and travel in Germany quite a lot. So I’m probably that 1% outside case.
Do you prefer to keep the packing plastic on the surround of the interior mirror? I think it looks better without.
I never noticed 😂
Richard, can you confirm total charging costs for this journey in today's money please. Many thanks.
Decent range for the fat 3. But I'm here for the pasty and shirt :-)
GREAT video, excellent efficiency. Would you please make a video with the Charging Curve? How happy are you with the ride quality - one of the most controversally discussed topics about the car?
See review video. You get used to it I guess. Shame it isn’t a bit softer
@@RSEV Had a test drive with 19" rims and winter tires. It was firm, but OK. We'll see, it's too late anyway, shipping is expected in May
I tested a mylr yesterday and thought the ride was good on 19s. Can’t wait to order one. Great video Richard
Hi Richard, interesting video by the way..I'm still on the fence and still enjoying my 2019 Merc B200d AMG line but really would only have a Tesla if I won one on BOTB.. 😆which I do play for..Anyway, which one goes further in a real life scenario model Y long range or model 3 std range plus? Keep up the good work.. 👍
Y long range I think but it’s a test in the planning…
Get one if you can!
3sr is good value…
Do you know if you can fold in the mirrors whilst driving? Ie going down a narrow country lane in our current xc90 we'd just hit the buttons to fold in whilst passing another car for example then unfold once past. Thanks in advance
You can, plus it can location save so does it automatically next time
Hi - Could you tell us what speeds were you doing in the A-Roads, temp-outside and also temp you had set for inside of the car during this trip. thanks
Dual carriageway 70mph. A roads vary 40-60mph speed limits. Was chippy and windy all day 5-8c. Inside 20c
Do you use the autopilot much on these long runs ? I’m curious Richard.
Yes on the quiet dual carriageways I had it on most of the time
I’m new to Tesla just coming up to one yr with my M3SR. Got Y coming 19th March so this was very interesting. I’d be totally scared to go anywhere near 2% I suppose these things come with experience.
It can damage the battery going this low ! (What do I know? …it’s printed in the manual)
@@maxflight777 Not strictly true. The manual says "If the Battery’s charge level falls to 0%, you must plug it in. If you leave it unplugged for an extended period, it may not be possible to charge or use Model 3 without jump starting or replacing the low voltage battery. Leaving Model 3 unplugged for an extended period can also result in permanent Battery damage. If you are unable to charge Model 3 after attempting to jump start the low voltage battery, contact Tesla immediately." Li-ion batteries are happiest at 50% SOC but it would be impractical to keep it at 50% SOC. If you keep to the rule of under 20% charge asap and over 80% drive asap you'll be fine. Just don't leave it sat there for a long time outside of 20-80%.
Yeah, just remember Tesla has a big buffer on the low end. Can easily drive it to -5%
@@espencapable yeah, thank you. I wouldn’t enjoy it though I know.
Could you do a video on tips to maximise range in the model Y as I’m a new owner and not getting great performance so far and getting battery drain when not in use. Thanks
Do you have sentry mode on at home?
Not getting great performance? Compared to what ? Mine is bloody fast !
@@keithcarney1097 no turned that off after a few days
All about speed and smooth driving. Lots of cold starts means heating cabin which uses quite a bit. Wait until temps above 12c and it will be more efficient. Turn on cabin heater w before departure, whilst still plugged in helps a lot when cold. but yes I may well do a video.
Hello mate 👍
Where did you get the rear view mirror bumper protector from?
It’s packaging I haven’t seen from drivers seat
Hi, how much less a model 3 do same trip? Any ideia? Best regards from Oporto.
Model 3 long range seems to be a little more efficient but not by much. A standard plus LFP would probably have been 240 wh/mi because it’s incredibly efficient
Wish we could get pasties like that here in NZ
😂😋
With a trip like that I’m interested why you wouldn’t start at 100%?
Lovely Cornwall... Can a tourist rent a Tesla @ Heathrow? Regarding the Y: Impressive efficiency, but the headlights looked very weak. And they are not adaptive as I understand it. That might not bother you in UK much since mooses aren't that common, but where I live adaptive headlights are more appreciated since they might give you that extra fraction of a secund...
See latest review video. The lights are actually ok, it’s just the video doesn’t capture low light well. But yes I criticise lack of adaptive/cornering/shadowing etc
@@RSEV Thanks for the respons to me comment and for being a very unbiased tester and presenter.
How is this Y compared to the New LFP standard range 3 in terms of real world range ?
LFP is more efficient. It’s incredibly so in fact. Can get up to 5 mi/kWh so in real world not far off same…
The trip range graph will show you estimated arrival battery percentage and how your actual progress is tracking against the prediction.
Yes I acknowledge that in the video, but then say problem with that is it covers the whole screen
Sorry, I didn't get that far before commenting!
Your efficiency of 296 W/mile or 384 W/mile (after charging losses of 10% ac to dc losses, 10% battery charge losses and 10% battery discharge losses). Using Octopus GO latest 7.5 p/kW would give a cost of around 2.9 p/mile. My M3 RWD gets 250 W/mile or 325 W/mile after all charging losses are taken into account and that equates to around 2.4 p/mile. Bear in mind an ICE car is probably 15 - 20 p/mile to run...
It would be interesting to compare all EV's (VW, Audi, etc.) based on the kWh supplied to the car to get the car's real efficiency rather than use the onboard computer that may not be accurate...
Don’t you find the Model Y noisy compared to the Model 3? Mine has a boom in the cabin that I just cannot remedy. I’m looking at buying a parcel shelf and or and some dynamat. If I had a spare £2k I’d have the professional sound deadening package installed at RSEV, however having just paid £56k for my Model Y, I’ll need to save up some more pennies.
Mine is fine but it does have the sound deadening. It’s quieter than the 3 and certainly no booming. Come and try it
@@RSEV Thank you for your reply and kind offer. I fear that if I visit the showroom and test drive your Model Y with the sound deadening I will end up leaving £2k lighter……😂 I would like to explore running the model Y with 18 inch wheels, I wonder if that might help improve the spine pummelling ride of the Tesla Model Y? Bjorn Nyland published a video where he ran a Y on Winrun R330 235/55R18 104 V XL tyres. A budget tyre, but he appeared positive to the experience!?
Isnt it suppose to be able to do north of 300 miles? Plus its an empty car, no passengers. Mm
Sheesh. I’m glad I ordered the standard wheels with my Model Y. On a cold day I average about 241-264 wh per mile. Significantly more efficient.
I ordered 18" from another supplier. Even better range and less suspension stiffness :D
What’s your from new average?
@@RSEV My average from new is 281. But I’m not exactly driving as efficient as I could most of the time. Mainly because I have a charger at home, and a free charger at work. On road trips, however, I play the range game and I typically cruise at the exact posted speed limit which here in the states ranges from 100 - 105kph. It’s certainly not blazing speed, but I find it unnecessary to drive fast on the expressway. You only get to your destination marginally quicker but use significantly more energy. I took delivery on September 24th 2021 so most of my driving has been in colder weather. I’m super excited to see how my range will look as things warm up.
@@espencapable what 18" wheels did you order ?
I’ve owned a MY for just 24 hours! So bear with me ….
I can’t get close to a good Wh/mile ! But it is fast !
What I would like to comment on, is that this car was slated by journalists, for a poor ride.
However, the ride and comfort is superb. Better than my 2019 X5. I’m delighted with it.
The suspension is as quiet as any comparable Jag/Merc/BM
So you never had a good airsuspension BMW/MERC than :) You can't compare a German saloon with airsuspension vs a coiled Y :)
High speed ride is acceptable but around town it really crashes around. Once driven quite a few other cars you feel the difference…
4:44 Beautiful
Can any MY owners kindly tell me where the SD card is , and whether I need a larger one for “sentry mode” etc ?
My Fremont, 2021 MY has it in the glove box. 128 gb. Haven't felt the need to get anything larger.
Memory stick in glovebox. Doesn’t seem to be any need to replace
Did you autopilot most of the way?
Yes quite a lot. The roads were pretty empty so most of the dual carriageways yes
Still confused by this, that charge would of cost around £40-50 for 250 miles when a fiesta diesel costs 50 to fill up and gets 600 miles in a tank, in truly confused why people think this is a more cheaper option
Did a 108 miles yesterday at a steady 60mph and got 201 Wh/mile (Y long range, 19" wheels)
5mi/kWh 💪
Interesting that a new Y isn't much more efficient than my old 2015 70D S. . I've generally average 305w/m , even in the cold. I'm in Honiton so like a bit of Ali's myself 😃😃😃😃
Wouldn’t that mean the model Y is more efficient because it has a larger frontal area therefore more drag but still gets about the same or even slightly lower consumption than your S?
The new V11 software is massively inferior to what was before. The only thing I like about it is the move towards customisation, but the options need to be much better. The seat warming move on it I hate, and the removal of the efficiency display I hate.
With you on efficiency display. And driver profile. And % at destination.
The change regarding the arrival percentage is very annoying...
Please get your sales assistant to reply back to my emails about trading in my X4 for a Model 3 LR. Waiting on your evaluation of my car.
So 250 miles real world range?
289 until it dies (at motorway speeds)

Thanks for this… makes it worthwhile investing crypto assets in tesla🎉🎉🎉
Well I keep changing my mind, think my next car will be full electric, skip the hybrid
You might want to check the title of the video!
Thank you! Amended
Is it me or do the headlamps look pretty, poor, in the amount of light?
Cameras don’t pick it up to be fair
@@RSEV Interesting, because I have programmed LEDs for a robot, and because they are single frequencies (even though multiple colours), they play havoc with even expensive cameras. AFAIK , cameras have filters to make pics/films more appealing. But this is what Elon was talking about, when he said they were trying to get "the raw photons" , (ie unfiltered) which contain more information, for FSD..
Bb
I cannot consider this car until it is built in Germany. To support The Chinese government would make me feel morally bankrupt. I enjoy the freedoms of the west and cannot spend my hard earned money on anything that undermines that hard won freedom. To m3 it is similar to buying a Mercedes in 1937
Meanwhile my 11 year old ICE could have done the journey there and back without an hour to charge up and saved myself 55K as well. Chuck that thing on the Motorway in the cold and you will be lucky to get 200 miles out of it pathetic really.
Don’t be foolish.
I enjoyed a nice lunch during a 30 minute stop and it was FREE.
If you don’t like EVs, fine. It’s only your being defensive but no need to make such comments. Just don’t moan to us when you can’t drive due to fuel costs or when your exhaust or clutch or gearbox or turbo or dpf needs fixing.
If can’t afford a new EV, fine. But again no need to write such superficial comment
