It is and is not. I took my new MY on a 4,400 mile road trip a few weeks after getting it and then another 1,500 mile trip and enjoyed.While I agree that it's great for running around town and short trips don't take the same toll as on an ICE vehicle, I also firmly believe it's a great road trip car. I've stated before, even if it were on range par with your Audi at 500 miles, I don't see me driving that far or sitting behind the wheel that long; I've been in the MS 90D for almost 3 hours and didn't enjoy it (more enjoyable than an ICE, but still not ideal). Same with my MY.
Do you drive 500 miles? That's about 6+ hours. I used to drive 3-4 hours in a Lexus hybrid but once I started driving the Tesla I realized how much more relaxing it was than the ICE. Less vibration, less noise, more stops to stretch and relax. I did lots of road trips in the Tesla when I lived in NW Ohio. Detroit, Chicago, Upstate NY, Columbus. Never a problem (for me) because I wasn't interested in range but rather getting to the next charger with 10% SoC then taking off with about 50%. Again, a relaxing 2 hours followed by a 15-20 min stretch and relax, etc. YMMV.
Perhaps, ultimately, it's a state of mind sort of thing. We are all comfortable with and want different things. The driver assist allows me to take in more scenery; I drive at up to 75mph instead of trying to pass everyone at 80-85 in the ICE and it's far more relaxing to let everyone pass me.
Yea it is one of the apps you car comes with.Energy app?
They're higher than normal for an LR with Gemini's but that could be either because you accelerate fast, are driving at 70+ mph frequently, or it's hot and the AC is blasting. Could be lots of factors.View attachment 852472
Are these numbers good or bad?

My five year old Prius that I still own was off by very little and are still getting 40+ mpg.. just continue to love it on my long trips. Total freedom, not control by my speed, nor by multiple must stops.Did you feel the same level of deception when your previous ICE vehicles didn't get the EPA gas mileage rating?

City driving, through traffic short distances is great.. but on long trips, or high speeds That’s another story.To get better range put MYP in chill mode. I tend to drive in chill mode in crowded city streets and during rush hour traffic where I know I can’t make use of insane 0-60
Our 18 Prime gets like 56 mpg on gas onlyMy five year old Prius that I still own was off by very little and are still getting 40+ mpg.. just continue to love it on my long trips. Total freedom, not control by my speed, nor by multiple must stops.
I'm not saying that the range isn't overstated compared to average driving, however the Model 3 and Model Y have excellent real world range compared to every other EV in their class.My bmw 2016 x3 got great gas mileage
I drove 700 miles recently in my MYP. I don’t feel like I was spending excessive amount of time recharging on the trip. 70mph & AC on the whole time. I had to stop twice for 15 minutes & once for 30 each way. During the 15 minute stops, I walk around to help prevent blood clots. Common advice from doctors when road tripping. During 30 minute charge, I was eating lunch. Car finished charging before I was done so I let it go a bit longer. Overnight I charged for 40 minutes at a discounted 75khw supercharger near the hotel . It was $0.19 kWh rather than the $0.34 of nearby 150kwh chargers (they had no discount). During the 40 minutes I watched an episode on Netflix that I had been wanting to see. Car finished charging before the episode finished.City driving, through traffic short distances is great.. but on long trips, or high speeds That’s another story.
I’m glad that works for you; I often travel from Anaheim to Chandler AZ to visit my grandkids; Keep in mind that most of the AZ highways speed posted is 75 mph; Almost everyone is doing 80+ including big rigs. You’ll always see Teslas getting passed because they have to go a certain speed to get to their next assigned charging station..I drove 700 miles recently in my MYP.

Same, I treat my model y like I treat my previous car. I don’t treat it any differently.I’m glad that works for you; I often travel from Anaheim to Chandler AZ to visit my grandkids; Keep in mind that most of the AZ highways speed posted is 75 mph; Almost everyone is doing 80+ including big rigs.

The main reason I purchased a MYP is for performance/ speed, no one is going to pass me up or laugh at me..otherwise I would have purchased a Leaf, Bolt, VW, Kona, Niro, Sorry but didn’t spend $75K to drive in the slow lane..
