2025 TESLA MODEL Y LONG RANGE RWD COLD WEATHER RANGE TEST! HOW FAR CAN IT GO IN SUBZERO TEMPERATURES

EV Channels Review

This video presents a thorough cold-weather range test of the 2025 Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD, conducted at subzero temperatures (-1°F to 0°F) and a consistent 75 mph. The reviewer highlights that climate control significantly impacts range, accounting for approximately 29% of energy consumption. Despite the extreme cold, the Model Y achieved an estimated real-world range of 180-185 miles, falling short of its rated 335 miles but deemed a usable range for many. A notable observation was the tire pressure warning due to the cold, requiring a PSI adjustment. The charging experience without preconditioning was suboptimal, with initial speeds around 132 kW, peaking at 144 kW, suggesting preconditioning is crucial for maximizing charging rates in cold weather. The reviewer also noted the car's power was restricted during the latter part of the test due to low state of charge and cold conditions.
