Tesla Model Y Performance Real Horsepower and Torque

[jason luciano]

I was wondering if anyone has tested the model y performance on a dyno and found out it’s true specs, the one test I have seen showed 502 horsepower and 486 torque, I’m really interested because the model Y doesn’t get much love when it comes to testing true performance unlike the model 3 which I have seen some tests boasting as much as 554 horsepower.

I used to care about the hp and tq numbers on my ICE cars, but ever since I got my MYP, I don't see the need for it since I can beat any car on the public road and traffic light to traffic light "race". (I guess except very few supercars that I have not met).

Nice, I have a August 21st delivery date for my MYP, just was curious about the specs since I couldn’t find anything concrete online.

It's around 550 hp at the motor.... The 450 hp estimate is at the wheels. Also, max power is only at 80% or higher charge. Power drops off drastically as the battery drains so you will only see ~500hp right after you top off the battery.

Interesting, still a good amount of horsepower overall. I’ll probably end up charging to 90% daily since that’s supposedly a safe amount, but 80% is the most optimal.

I have the S3XY button app that displays some information read from the car and one of it shows "Max Discharge" that I've seen as high as 435kW (583HP) and usually sits around 420kW (563HP). I'm guessing it's actually not that high at the motor, but it's probably not too far off when compared with some other EVs. For example, the Kia EV6-GT has 577HP and claims 3.5s for 0~60MPH, so the "Max Discharge" number read from the MYP seems to be in line with that.

from what I've read you get most of your power with 75% SOC but 0-45 is always the same throughout unless you're really really low

Yep that’s the video I was referring to.

Waiting for the MYP to have a software switch to have a performance performance mode.

Seriously... Shocked this hasnt come out yet.

Even with a supercar, 99% of their drivers cannot drive them to their max specs. It is very difficult for an average person to drive an ICE vehicle to its max spec for a lot of reasons.

Right. In real world driving, the MYP will be at least as quick as a 911 Turbo. Both have a rolling (5-60) time of 3.7 seconds. The MYP has a 30-50 time of 1.4 seconds and a 50-70 of 1.8 seconds. The times for the 911 Turbo are 2.0 and 2.4 seconds.

Watch this…. Spoiler 623 hp at 98% charge…
BTW 45 HP more than the M3P

One of our local shops dyno'd an MYP straight from the showroom at 603 hp. This was back in June iirc.

Post the dyno sheet please….If not well you know the story….

I don't have it, but I was there and saw it first hand. Don't really care who believes it tbh, but charge was a tick over 70%, so that would align nicely with the 623 from above.

For comparison, the 2020 acceleration-boost AWD MY peaks at 351 KW (470 HP, 200 HP front, 270 HP back). These are input power, so losses need to be subtracted.

What battery percentage?

I'm not sure for that one. Here are a few shots that showed SoC (small text at top of the circle).
