2024 MODEL Y RWD US SPEC IS A CHARGING BEAST - 0-100% & 10-80% FULL CHARGE ANALYSIS

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Model Y RWD (US Spec) delivers surprisingly robust charging performance, challenging expectations for its segment. The reviewer highlights that despite being a software-limited version of the long-range battery pack, it achieves impressive charging speeds, particularly maintaining a high rate (around 160 kW) deep into the charge cycle, unlike other Teslas. The 0-100% charge takes just under 39 minutes, adding approximately 250 miles of real-world range, while the 10-80% charge is completed in a remarkable 22 minutes. The reviewer praises the consistency and the ability to add significant range quickly, making it highly road-trip capable. While acknowledging that the long-range variant might have slightly faster peak charging and more overall range, the RWD Model Y's charging efficiency and speed make it a compelling option, with the reviewer suggesting it could be safely charged to 100% daily due to the software limitation masking potential battery degradation.
