We just released new EPA range and efficiency ratings for the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD version, which turns out to be as efficient as its Model 3 equivalent (LR AWD).
The range of Model Y LR is AWD 508 km (508 km), as Tesla estimates, while the combined energy efficiency is 121 MPGe – 279 Wh / mi (173 Wh / km).
Model 3 has the same MPGe value (MPGe, it is not a very precise measure), because it is somewhat more efficient on the highway (because of aerodynamics, we think) and somewhat less efficient in the city. Higher efficiency in the city category should be caused by some technical improvement on the Model Y that we believe.
In the case of Model Y Performance on 21-inch wheels is the combined efficiency 111 MPGe – 304 Wh / mi (189 Wh / km). That’s more than 8% less than LR AWD.
2020 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD EPA Rating:
- range of 506 km
- power consumption (including charging loss):
- combine: 121 MPGe – 279 Wh / mi (173 Wh / km)
- city: 127 MPGe – 265 Wh / mi (165 Wh / km)
- highway: 114 MPGe – 296 Wh / mi (184 Wh / km)
2020 Tesla Model Y Performance 21 “(Long Range AWD) EPA rating:
- range 461 km (468 km)
- power consumption (including charging loss):
- combine: 111 MPGe – 304 Wh / mi (189 Wh / km)
- city: 116 MPGe – 291 Wh / mi (181 Wh / km)
- highway: 106 MPGe – 318 Wh / mi (198 Wh / km)
Tesla Model Y is the third most efficient electric car in the US, after the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai IONIQ Electric, according to EPA ratings.
The bar could be raised even higher as the company launches the RWD model.
