VERY EFFICIENT! FULL TO DEAD 70MPH RANGE TEST IN TESLA'S LONGEST RANGE AND CHEAPEST 2025 MODEL Y!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer conducted a 70 mph range test on the 2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, aiming for a full-to-empty battery depletion. The test yielded a real-world range of approximately 293 miles, falling slightly short of the reviewer's initial prediction of over 300 miles. While this is considered a solid result, the reviewer noted a significant ~80-mile difference compared to the Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, attributing it to the Model Y's larger frontal area and potentially less aerodynamic design. The reviewer also highlighted that cold weather and driving conditions increased consumption by 4.3% compared to optimal conditions. Despite the range falling slightly short of expectations, the reviewer expressed hope for future improvements in the Model Y's aerodynamic efficiency or battery capacity, suggesting these are needed for this model.
