But how old, how many miles did the MS have on it? Are we comparing apples to apples here? The MS may have a lot more miles and charge cycles on its battery and is better trained/tuned to its battery level and actual mileage. The MY on the other hand is very new and I assume a lot less miles and cycles on its battery than the MS you drove, so less in tune. Just a guess...
the displayed range...
is simply based on the amount of kWh left and the EPA rating.
Percentage and forget it.[/QUOTE
The EPA test is a joke, done on a dyno. That's the real reason the numbers don't match real-world range. They are simply a comparison point you can use as a relative guide across multiple vehicles. How Does The EPA Calculate Electric Car Range?.This is exactly why it bugged me that the range shown on the MS was so accurate compared to our MYs. Its like Tesla did some funny business when doing the EPA tests. If they tested them more accurately, like the MS, then these Ys really should be marketed as 275 mile range cars. I would not be surprised if there is a future lawsuit in the works

You’ve driven more than one?
1. The green range bar has nothing to do with your driving habits (except the habits that increase degradation)
2. Model Y EPA test results: 451 mi x 0.70 = 316 miles
Phil4791eng, please explain #2. Where does 451 miles come from and why did you take 70% of it?
The 451 is the test result from the EPA test and they take that result and multiply it by 70% to arrive at the final number to make it more of a real world number.its from the article that Dandi posted.
“For example, the Tesla Model Y will travel 451 miles on the Multi-Cycle City/Highway Test Procedure — which is a much higher range than anyone would actually see driving the car in normal conditions. The EPA will multiply the preliminary range and efficiency numbers from the tests by 0.7 to provide a final rating more in line with what drivers can expect from their cars. For the Model Y, that’s 316 miles of range”
I like my Tesla but I'm puzzled why the company never weighs in on threads like this, which illustrate owner confusion or uncertainty. Why not (a) brag about a range increase in a press release and get free publicity and (b) explain to owners what they actually did. The eternal cryptic mystery is a mystery to me. They miss easy ways to increase brand loyalty.
I know this is an old topic but I didn't want to start a new topic on the same subject.
"I didn't expect a 90kw battery pack model S having a 219 miles range while a 75kw model Y having 297 miles of range under normal driving conditions."
I guess this is caused by the weight differences between Model Y and Model S.
Model Y:
Long Range AWD : 4,416 lb (2,003 kg)
Performance AWD : 4,416 lb (2,003 kg)
Standard Range RWD : 3,920 lb (1,780 kg)
My Model S:
P90D AWD: 4987 lb (2262 kg)
Soo seems like a weight difference of 259 kg causes a consumption difference of 158wh/mile. :O
