Tesla Model Y

Who are you buying it from a garage, if buying from tesla you get extra warranty and enhanced autopilot (not worth anything like the 3,500 sticker price). There's not a huge amount to inspect barr the underneath, suspension and look for crash damage.

as I mentioned earlier I am looking for Tesla model y.

Today I had a call with one of the dealers. They advices me to go with the 23 model y standard rear wheel drive rather than 22 model y long range all wheel-drive.

He told me these two model y have different battery types and 22 long range model is using an old battery technology. When I check online, I couldn’t find this information. Can anybody help me on this?

Presumably that’s warm weather range?

I’ve a loan of a 241 MY LR for a couple of weeks while my M3P gets a battery replacement. Did a couple of longer motorway journeys over the last couple of days and found it takes a big range hit when travelling at 120kph. Over 2 separate motorway stints the consumption hit 25kwh/100km while could be as low as 18kwh/100km if I held it at 110kph. Seems a very significant efficiency hit for an extra 10kph.
My M3P wouldn’t be as efficient at 110kph (approx 20kwh/100km) but wouldn’t suffer such a significant hit at 120kph

That’s brilliant efficiency. On Sat morning, temp between 1 & 3 degs, I did a 140km motorway stint at 120kph and averaged 24.4kwh using 30.8kw. Yesterday pm I did a 122km stint of which only 86km was motorway at 120kph and averaged 25.1kwh/100km. Weather was wet/snowy for 1st 50km and dry at 1deg for balance of journey. However, a couple of hours later did a 150km stint at mostly 110kph and only averaged 17.6kwh/100km.

So granted a tiny sample but it appeared that speed had a far higher impact on efficiency that temp. Staying at 110kph and lower the car was very efficient despite the poor weather conditions and low temps. I wondering if the less efficient MY SUV style contributes to this as I said earlier the M3s efficient seem to be less impacted by higher speed

Certaintly the 25.1kwh/100km stint occurred from a cold start so warming the battery would have contributed to this high figure. However, the 24.4kwh/100km stint on Sat morning came directly after a 170km drive where the battery was preconditioned for a 30 min charge stop at the Ballacolla supercharger so the battery was warm before starting out

Probably not, but in the last number of days I have used 20% of the battery to go almost nowhere..😋. The kW per km is meaningless atm for me.

No different to a diesel or petrol, no such thing as free energy, at least electricity is probably cheapest way of heating your car..

Keep in mind that efficiency in Tesla trip meter only includes energy used to power motors, while some brands include total energy consumption during drive.

I'm not sure, when I compare consumption vs trip data it always is lower.

There is a energy app in Tesla that measures consumption for last 15km, 150km or 350km traveled. It includes everything and it also has a tab for parking where it will measure energy used when not in driving mode. Anyway you can reset one of trips and compare numbers after those distances.

It does also raise a question why Tesla is doing it, as they don't hide consumption and their cars are leading in efficiency so far.
