I have a 2018 Model 3 LR RWD. I have an order in to get a Model Y LR AWD which should get here in mid April. Here's what I don't understand.
Both of these vehicles have a 75kwh battery. The Model 3 is more efficient (136/123 mpge vs 131/117 mpge) than the Model Y, but yet the range of my Model 3 is 310 miles vs. 326 miles for the Model Y - with the same size battery. How can this be? The link is the comparison between the two at the government fuel economy website.
