Model Y Performance efficiency data

[Torrid]

Fully charged the car to start the day. Round trip was 253 miles. Trip was from my home in Wisconsin to Libertyville, IL Tesla to pick up my wife's new car. 80% of the driving was at 77-80mph. The rest was mostly at 60mph with a small amount around town at lower speeds. I didn't expect it to do this well. Most of the new models are doing better than EPA ratings, but that hasn't typically been the case with the first generations of the 3 and the Y. Range is rated at 278 miles. Realistically with this math I should have been able to get 287 miles. I got back home at 12%.

Teslas are pretty darn efficient; maybe you should drive faster?

It's where you keep your Mobile Charger Cable. You can use it as a cooler or whatever. No engine up there... Modern VW Bug front end, if you will.

I swear I never heard of the word brunch until the 2000s....

Brunch? How about linner or dunch? Linner: between lunch and dinner. Dunch: same thin. A friends son came up with these when we vacationed together.

I’m not sure what you are referring to, but if you’re referring to my drive, there are a few stops available along the way. I wanted to intentionally push the car that day.

I replied to the wrong thread. You are all good.

I was replying to the post about the someone running out of energy on the cajon pass.

I have multiple windows often - sorry about that!

This is becoming a regular occurrence on our local FB pages. Car is 1/2 way up Cajon pass.

It's about 20 miles down to a slow charger and about 12 miles up to Walmart where there is a charger but they have to get up the 6% grade 3 or so miles of cajon pass to get there.

I don't know what brand the car is.
