My experience with both 19"(Model 3) and 20"(Model Y) has been that alloy aerodynamics might have much greater impact at higher speeds with the larger diameters but when driving on mostly local roads both cars were achieving far closer to the smaller alloy EPA ratings, especially as those include the Aero covers.
As a case in point, an almost 300 mile journey in December around 6ºC with very heavy traffic, roadworks and delays finished with 12% SOC remaining. No charging or other stops were involved but speed averaged only 44mph so overall range was very close to the smaller 19" EPA.
