DIDN'T BREAK A SWEAT! TESLA MODEL Y TAKES ON THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST EV TEST: LOVELAND TRIALS EP. 6

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model Y Performance was subjected to the "world's toughest EV test" on a 150-mile round trip up and down Loveland Pass. The vehicle demonstrated impressive capability, handling the steep mountain climb and subsequent descent with ease. The reviewer highlighted the effectiveness of regenerative braking, noting that it significantly recouped energy on the way down, resulting in the car using exactly 150 miles of range for the 150-mile trip. Autopilot was also tested, with the reviewer finding it effective in stop-and-go traffic but cautioning against over-reliance due to potential system failures. Despite the "Performance" trim and large wheels impacting efficiency (averaging 584 Wh/mile uphill), the Model Y's overall performance and range accuracy were praised, making the challenging test feel "completely painless" and "completely normal."
