Very happy with Model Y range

[msharpcm]

Hey everyone,

A few days ago I just completed my first road trip on my Y. Very happy with the range!
The road has mostly been interstate (auto-pilot at 70-75mph) but finished with approximately an hour of state route (with traffic lights, but mostly green. auto-pilot at around 60mph). So yeah, the speed wasn't very high and I didn't need to use any AC (just fan at speed 2 or 3). The energy consumption was around 266mi/wh over a 30-mile span. The car was loaded with cargo and 3 people.

The verdict? The extrapolated range was like 430 miles or something. isn't that wonderful? I know this isn't a scientific measurement by any stretch, but just want to share some positive anecdote with y'all.

Thanks!

So I assume you navigated from Supercharger to supercharger?

Depending on the real battery capacity, your range is around 280 miles at that rate.

75000/266 = 282 miles.

74000/266 = 278 miles.

Well, the trip wasn't long so I only needed to stop at one super charger. It was a tesla supercharger but it wasn't one of those 250KW ones, so the charging from 30% - 80% took around 30 minutes. Before leaving the rental, the car was charged using the 100v plug.

Your math looks right to me! But here's how I extrapolated the range: I used the estimated range at the time and the state of charge. I think the car estimated that I had a range of about ~240 miles (again, blurry memory now) and I had about ~60% of charge left. So 240 / 0.6 = 400.

Your method to extrapolate range is fine. I think you recalled one of the numbers incorrectly.

That's very likely. I'll take some photos if I do long drives again.
