990 here

LR correct?

Yes

This all makes sense but also brings range into question. More powerful motor, 400# more weight (10%), worse aerodynamics and only 7% less range. Something doesn't add up.

That one is little bit easier to explain. Weight doesnt affect range as much as you think it would, that said it definitely affects acceleration. "Range" is also a function of the EPA testing.. which lets be real probably isnt tested beyond 55mph where aerodynamics would come into play.

If they were testing at 70mph I would imagine the aero effect between the two would definitely be noticeable.

It's tested on a dyno which has no penalty for aerodynamics. However, it would seem that aero should be factored in to the adjustment factor.

Yes

You know this is about the motor in the SR Y correct?

I guess I'd missed that bit - lol

Back to bed for me

From what I read in another thread here on TMC, the SRMY might have a MYP engine in the back. This is why it states that it does 0-60 in 5.3 seconds.

How big is the battery?

I suppose I should know this, but when I realised I didn't I went to the manual, and it really doesn't say much While I'm at it, what's the size of the motors? The website also has little to offer in this regard
