Model Y Performance range

[dihutchins]

I have owned a 2023 Model Y Performance since December 2022 (yes I purchased right before the ~$13k price reduction) and wondered what I should expect for range.

I frequently drive from the Pensacola area to Atlanta and back which is almost all highway and I usually charge to 100% before leaving so the estimated range is approx. 300 miles, however when I stop to charge at about 200 miles I generally have less than 15% range left; meaning I am getting less than 250 miles. I typically set the cruise control at ~80 so not sure if that has that big of an impact. Is this to be expected? How should one drive to get 300 miles from a full charge?

My MYP (May 2023, UK) now asks to reduce daily charge to 80%, why?? What is the impact on the car if I will keep charging to 90% instead??

I've been charging to 95% several times a week for about a year now. no issue. It might get degraded 5 to 10% extra after 4-5 years, but that is negligible at that point anyway.

I notice a large difference in efficiency between 70 and 80 mph. THat said, I think even driving at 70 MPH you're gonna have to stop to charge. I'm planning to replace my wheels with smaller tires to regain some range.

We have a new 2023 YP, We set the charging for 83% as recommended by Tesla, when the car was delivered. At 83%, we generally got btwn 252 miles and 258. However, lately those miles have dropped to 232230 respectively. Not sure what the issue is? Vehicle was delivered in April and we have apprx 3.5k miles on the odometer. Btw, we've never ran the battery below 30%.

Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated!

Try searching the forum on Range, All your answers are in the threads you will find, plus alot of answers to questions to didn't even know you had.

Don’t fret over it. As previously said, search for posts discussing “range” and “bms” and you’ll be good. And batteries naturally degrade over time and use.

Here is some light reading.

How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

Like many others, I have been concerned with loss of 100% indicated battery range on one of my Model 3s. My P3D (build date 9/13/2018, delivery date 10/8/2018) had gotten down to 270.3 miles at 100% charge on January 20, 2020, at about 30,700 miles, which is a loss of 40.8 miles since the car...

Basically if the car does not go to sleep, then range estimation gets off.

And OP, you don’t have to post your question in multiple threads… this is one of the most common questions with EV’s (not just Tesla)

fuzzwhatwuz: No issue at all. Summer heat, winter cold will cause fluctuations in efficiency. It's the same with ICE vehicles, but to a lesser degree.

Cruising in April, in your region, is probably the ideal temp/humidity for maximum efficiency. July/August? Nope.

And do not use miles on your display. It will only cause frustration because it will fluctuate (for many good reasons.). Set your display to % and forget about it.

AC has a huge impact, but so is the heater
I charge every second day to 70%, sometimes to 80%
There are no tricks here. You will be charging this thing a lot, more or less like a phone...

MYP2023 delivere feb 23
At 100% it gives me range of 285 Miles in avg temp Michigan weather.
Car has almost 13000 miles of mix hwy and city driven conservatively.
I got about 30kWh/100miles since new.

Anyhow about 10% loss in first 10000 miles or so seems std from what I am reading.
Freeway above 70 kills my range also. MYP more than M3 due to size. It was off by about 40 miles on a recent 4 hour trip. Thats because I drove 85 the majority of trip
On another trip it was spot on but I drove 65. So about 20 mph faster burns about 13/15 miles per hour more off your departure estimate?!?

AND Lastly. Yeah WTF Tesla? When I bought the car its said to charge at 90% for daily driving now 80%. Make up your mind

Did recent software updates reduce the range? I usually charge to 80%. I used to get 231 miles at 80%. Now I get 222 miles at 80%. My 2022 MYP has 20,500 miles on it.

Tesla lowers Model Y, S, and X range estimations following exaggeration complaints

 

[Ebowen403]

When I bought my 2022 MYP the stated range was 303 miles. I notice the specs for the 2023 MYP (as of 1/7/24) are 285 miles. I charged mine to 100% within 30 days of delivery, in Nov. 2022, at a 250 KW supercharger. It maxed out at exactly 303 miles. That's the only time I've charged to 100% at a Supercharger. I charged to 100% at my home wall charger to 100% in Oct. 2023. It maxed out at 287 miles. I assume the degradation is just normal and has nothing to do with software updates. (5% degradation isn't horrible).

That doesn’t apply here.

My MYP has the 2023.44.30.7 update and is currently showing 220 range with 74%. That calculates to 297 mi @100%.

Those changes probably only apply to new orders in this year. And if anything, might come in a future update, but it’s not here yet.

edit, just to add that according to this site, as of this post, the only update after .7 is the .10, which is only for employees.

Funny, THE new EPA suggestions are closer to what my milage saying was for the last year.
