Finally, Tesla Model Y received its official EPA rating, which confirms the 315 miles on a single charge.
Last week marked the beginning of the production of the Model Y and the deliveries will start in March: “Due to continued engineering progress of the Model Y all-wheel drive (AWD), we have been able to increase its maximum EPA range to 315 miles, compared to our previous estimate of 280 miles. This extends Model Y’s lead as the most energy-efficient electric SUV in the world.”
As far as we know, Tesla improved the efficiency gains in the Model Y getting more range under the same configuration of the Model 3, which is a smaller vehicle.
