NEW VS OLD TESLA MODEL Y HIGHWAY RANGE TEST! THIS ISN'T WHAT WE EXPECTED

EV Channels Review

This video presents a highway range test comparing the new 2026 Tesla Model Y 'Juniper' against a late 2024 Model Y, a 2021 Model Y, and a 2024 Model 3 Long Range AWD. Despite strong winds impacting overall results, the test aimed to highlight efficiency differences. The reviewer notes significant improvements in the new Model Y, particularly in ride quality, NVH, and driving dynamics, suggesting it's a substantial upgrade. While the exact range figures were compromised by weather, the comparison provided valuable insights into real-world efficiency, with the older Model Y and its larger wheels showing the least efficiency. The test procedure involved driving from 100% to 0% state of charge at a constant 70 mph, with results indicating the new Model Y and Model 3 performed considerably better than the older Model Y variants under these conditions.
