The UDDS is the urban test cycle

Yep. The Cd is about the same but frontal area will be some 15% greater. If Aero is ~ 50% of total drag then we can expect the Model Y to have about 7.5% less range than the Model 3 at equivalent highway speeds and same usable battery capacity.

The Model 3's Mileage isn't good when it gets below 0. it's a balmy -11 today, and has been double digits for the last week and a half. brrrrr...
