LIVESTREAM: TESLA MODEL Y HIGHWAY RANGE TEST (LR 20” WHEELS)

EV Channels Review

This livestream range test of the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD with 20-inch induction wheels provides a comprehensive, albeit lengthy, look at the vehicle's highway endurance. The reviewer highlights the car's ability to maintain efficiency at 70 mph, though acknowledges that speeds above this significantly impact range. A key takeaway is the unexpected range prediction, which initially exceeded the EPA rating, possibly due to BMS calibration or the specific wheel choice. The charging session revealed some quirks in Tesla's charging complete notification and energy pulsing, but ultimately the car achieved a full charge. The reviewer also touches on the rental experience with Hertz, praising their no-hassle approach, and discusses various other EV-related topics, including charging infrastructure and upcoming models. While the video's format is a live stream, the core testing procedure and observations offer valuable insights for potential buyers.
