Thank you for supporting Ludicrous Feed! FINAL CALCULATIONS - NB: Data was taken ONLY from the highway sections of the drive at 100kph SYD to NEW = 89% minus 61% = 28% = 117km = 15kWh NEW to SYD = 93% minus 59% = 34% = 115km = 17kWh Therefore 28% + 34% = 62% = 232km = 32kWh By deduction 100% = 374km = 51.6kWh
Hey Tom, absolutely love your videos. I got my MY RWD 2 weeks ago and here are my findings after 1600km of basic testing. 1/3 highway driving, the rest around northern beaches and north shore Sydney. Driving at speed limit, and occasionally spirited, also using A/C and stereo. AVG consumption = 130 wh/km, including 500km of 110kph driving. AVG around the city is 127wh/km and highway was 139h/km. Estimated range at top of screen when at 100% states 435km. The energy app estimates based on my actual driving (Real world range) consumption that I will get around 470km at 100% SOC. My Tessie app connected to the car says it has a usable capacity of 60Kwh. 0.0% degradation. Tessie also shows my "real world range" as 455km. It seems to me that maybe Tesla is keeping that extra 9kwh as a hidden reserve so people don't make silly mistakes and be inconvenieced. Not sure of course, but several signs point towards this. Will do a proper long range drive to near empty soon and see for real.
@@mikenorsa5193 what's the temperature there at the moment? I also did calculations based on the readings from this video and I found that Tom used 32 kWh to travel 232 km motorway at 110 km speed that means he used 7.25 km/KW which will give a reading of 418km range for the useable 57.5 KW if we include the 2.5 KW which is in the reserve that 435 km shoes in the dash is bang on.
@@anumohandasnair Hey mate, temperature is sunny and roughly 25c. So ideal I think. In my experience so far the range estimate of 435km has been spot on. Around town it shows closer to 500km, if you drove between 60-80kph. But you suffer 1-2% drain per day when parked, so if you spend the battery over a week then you're back to around 435 anyhow. Highway speeds is potentially still somewhere just over 400km in my experience.
@@mikenorsa5193 I pulled the plug and changed my order back to model 3 . Will wait and see how it goes with uk deliveries and if it’s good I will change it back

It cam off with no damage to the fabric and I was a lot less sceptical.
Great video. Just one observation. With a tesla you cannot take trip computer data to calculate battery capacity when there is a night in between the measuring points. The vampire drain and sentry mode consumption then screws up the test. It is off course relevant when calculating cost of ownership and such. The battery seems to have around 52.4 kWh usable from 0-100% (both trips show this, 117km with 29% usage at 130 Wh/km and 138km with 40% usage at 152 Wh/km). With a top buffer (low on LFP I heard) and also some capacity below 0% (around 5 kWh?) this battery should be around 57.5 kWh gross capacity.
Hence why I only used data from the highway drives and NOT from the overnight stay ie. SYD to NEW = 89% minus 61% = 28% = 117km = 15kWh NEW to SYD = 93% minus 59% = 34% = 115km = 17kWh Therefore 28% + 34% = 62% = 232km = 32kWh By deduction 100% = 374km = 51.6kWh Hope that makes sense!
Great review. The trouble is this probably gives me more range anxiety. We will drive Melbourne - Mildura return a few times a year. That's 530km each way. After the first 250km or so each town is 100km distance, and looking at plug share, they only have 2 or so chargers at each town , with iffy reliability. It really means staying at a stop to ensure charging to 100% would add to the already 6 hours travel time. If I charge less and get to say Sea Lake and the chargers are down, do I risk going onto Ouyen which may have chargers down our go back 100km where I know I can charge!!! Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks and in reality it wouldn't be an issue but it's definitely a consideration. In saying that it's only an issue we would deal with a few times a year but still definitely a real world situation.
@@LudicrousFeed It will definitely come. It's probably more "'if they buy it, it will come'" more than "if they build it they will come". I think it will take more EV uptake to increase the charging network, than more charging network to increase EV uptake.
I find the range to be excellent, better than expected. However drain when not being used is a pain ! Leave it in the garage for a month and it costs €40 in drain ! (Yes, this is with sentry mode and the figure is the same whether it’s plugged in or not )
Why would you have Sentry on inside a garage? Without Sentry the drain is negligble in real life.... I just came home from a 3 weeks trip and the drain was maybe 0-1%
Tom or other helpful Y owners, can you guide me to the setting to change the location of the blind spot camera to the top of the screen. Currently, my camera is on the lower right-hand side and my hand blocks the view as I indicate. Thanks in advance. Peter
Hi Peter, check out my recent Model Y Autopilot Test Drive video - you must have software update 2022.24.x to have this feature If you do, when indicating, simply drag and drop to your desired location
It amazes me how efficient these cars are at converting energy into motion. My EV motorcycle averages about 46-50w-h/km on my work commute and the speed is about 70kph for most of it and the total mass being moved (Livewire 250kg , ModelY 1909kg) is a fraction of a Model Y There's also no HVAC on the bike.
Thank you, did the range change after entering the destination. I notice the etron takes 30 km off and more if you have the AC on - 375km is a bit thin, hopefully the charger density (number per m2) will increase with time.
I'm not being difficult. Please tell me the benefit of having a 3rd of the screen taken up with drawings of other cars which you can see our of your windows and in your mirrors anyway. Visually it doesn't seem to be solving a problem.
Hi Tom , Thanks for doing the videos. My brother and I love watching all your videos and learn alot from it. Had a quick question: We bought the Model Y RWD with the upgraded 20inch wheels and the range is sitting @435KM instead of the 455KM at 100% charge (charging limit). This was from the start, i was wondering is this unusual ?
That is what model 3 2022 with lfp showing in Ireland. Don't worry about it keep driving. Today I ordered a rwd model y after watching this video. Took a leap of faith. Worst thing I can always swap it for a model 3
@@LudicrousFeed great review btw. I live in Newcastle and drive to Sydney about once a week. Park over night (on the street) and drive home. I wanted to see if I could do that round trip without charging. I live near the Rydges and park in Waterton.
Tom, what happens if you get stuck in a traffic jam on the M1. Does the Tesla battery drain? Last Friday we were stuck (crawling) for two hours after an accident up ahead. I was wondering at the time how an EV would go.
Good question and yes there is phantom drain but it depends how much energy your car is using from AC or devices charging eg phones plugged in. There’s an in-car energy app that can tell you how much drain is occurring when it’s stationary - it’s relatively minimal compared to driving of course but I guess that’s the reason on road trips with the current state of charging networks, I prefer to have my EV at a higher state or charge generally
Correct - relative lack of regen braking on highways coupled with the immense amount of power required to overcome aerodynamic drag at high speeds combine often to reduce the manufacturer’s claimed range
Hey Tom I notice you indicate to change lanes & have to turn them off. Does MY have 3 indications when changing lanes or does the cameras work out you’ve changed lanes?
There is convenience blinkers, if you slightly nudge the stalk the blinker will go off 3 times. If you use the permanent blinker option, Lane changing doesn’t require the steering wheel to move too much so the blinkers don’t turn off themselves, so you have to turn them off yourself
If you half pull the indicator you get the three blinks. I pull all the way down out of habit from the auto lane change function I have with our FSD capability enabled Model 3!
Excellent, and Thnx for the ride quality comment. Have you tried decreasing tyre pressure as Elon recommended to improve ride quality. Would be good to e if it actually is noticeable
@@SS-yw7vo what would that cost. That's the point, is it better value to drop tyre pressure as Elon Musk suggested or pay for new suspension which I think costs over $8000?
Tom, I didn't catch what the total kilometres this Model Y you are driving has done. But, I notice there is no sign of oncoming traffic pictured on your cars screen, when you are on the two way roads. Yet the Model 3's would show on coming traffic. A friend of mine who drove my 2022 M3 and then my subsequent MY pointed this out to me. Tesla told me my Cameras were not fully calibrated yet. However I am wondering if it is the lack of Radar. Any thoughts?
10:37 Odometer shown at bottom of Trip screen Interesting about oncoming traffic … I’ll have to look out for it on my next drive - As shown in the original delivery video for this car, AP is supposedly fully calibrated and FSD Visualisation Preview has been enabled 👍
@@LudicrousFeed My AP was supposedly fully calibrated and FSD-VP enabled. Rang Tesla about it, and they apparently logged into my Car and came back and said a particular camera wasnt 100% calibrated (she actually said it was 93% or something)and I needed to do some motorway driving ! Motorways are few and far between where I live. LOL.
Great real world review so circa 14 to 15kWh/100km. Just wondering why on 3 lane highway you don't drive in the left lane when not overtaking? In SA it is mandatory in light/medium traffic like that. I see cars overtaking you on left which is a red flag you are not keeping left unless overtaking? Is it different rules in rural NSW?
As per NSW gov website: When driving on a motorway with a speed limit of more than 80km/h, and two or more lanes, you must not drive in the right lane, unless: - overtaking - avoiding an obstruction - the traffic in each lane is congested a sign says you can. No specific rule that you must stay in Lane 1 at all times that I can see Source: www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/roads-safety-and-rules/overtaking-and-merging/motorways-and-freeways
There are many factors at play when determining the instantaneous real world range of an EV which Tesla in-car energy app outlines quite well. Watch to the end of my video to see my real world highway test - just under 400km for this RWD single motor Model Y
@@stevekearney9696 I’m counting purely ONLY the Highway driving start and end battery state of charge SYD to NEW = 89% minus 61% = 28% NEW to SYD = 93% minus 59% = 34% 28% + 34% = 62%
I wish the AP gave me as much comfort as it does you Tom. Driving from country Vic to Canberra this morning, we got 4 Phantom braking episodes with our model 3 - seemed to be due to shadows. Worst one was in middle of passing a big truck - really scary for whole family because there were other cars in fast lane behind. Each time i get my foot to the accelerator or cancel with right stalk within a second, but that's enough to slow significantly. I can't trust even the TACC now, and am going to be complaining to Tesla (then Government if I get fobbed off).
I try to travel 5-10kph faster than large trucks when overtaking otherwise my car will start tracking the truck’s speed and occasionally phantom brake. Not fun
Sorry to bother you again 😀 I finally got mine this last friday 18, Model Y RWD, everything is what you said in your previous answers, but mine is 418km at 100% battery (like everyone else I have asked in a telegram group of Spain), yours was 434km since the beggining?
It's very efficient, averaging 138 Wh/km, but weird that you're only getting 51.6 kWh of usable battery. At 57.5 kWh (which seems the capacity for Model 3 RWDs) the range should be 417 km at this consumption. Perhaps you're not regularly keeping the battery charged to 100% as advised by Tesla?
@@LudicrousFeed I just saw a charging curve video from a guy in Perth, where the car was charged to 100%. It was at 99% for 12 minutes, displaying the message "calibrating". Maybe that's something that needs to be done first after delivery. Just guessing. But it seems that there should be more capacity there, since 455 WLTP is impossible with just 51.6 kWh (only 113 Wh/km).
It’s been charged overnight to 100% twice since delivery with hours to spare before driving the next day. If calibration was required it would’ve done so during either charging session. Keep in mind too that WLTP tends to overestimate real world range because the testing is done within a mix of differing conditions. This is why I do these real world range tests to show how far one can actually travel on an average road trip at 100kph on a highway
man this seems so bad with the 375km range on full battery i've ordered one but not sure i need to reconsider it's so expensive for a $75K car to only have that range .
Eventually the battery technology will catch up and we’ll get more range. It’s the same with charging speeds, both are things that aren’t comparable to ICE cars yet but will eventually get there. In the end, unless you’re driving hundreds and hundreds of kilometres per day, so long as you can plug in when you get home, range shouldn’t be a concern. Wake up every morning with a full tank of electrons.
Yes, 375km range is a deal breaker for me. Mine is due in February 2023 but after watching this and Bjorn, who only got 300km out of his Model Y doing 120kph, I'm pretty sure I'm going to cancel. At this price it should have at least >400km range. also you lose 10% range in the first three years to degradation until the battery stabilizers.
Notice your back getting sweaty from the cheap seats? How there's no driver's display, much less a heads up display. How annoying it is when driving that EVERYthing goes through the screen? Could be a good car, but it's not.
Surprisingly easy to get used to. I don’t even miss the old driver’s display. Can get fiddly sometimes trying to find something that you ordinarily have a physical button and muscle memory but the voice commands are pretty good. Can’t comment on the seat sweat situation, I turn on the AC and it keeps the cabin at a comfortable consistent temperature.
@@LudicrousFeed Even the comfortably cheaper Atto3 has perforated seats to allow for comfort. And a basic speedo with a few functions on a drivers display. It's just cheap from Tesla. At least it doesn't come with the truly absurd yoke steerer. Appreciate your clips though.
Thank you for supporting Ludicrous Feed!

Interesting about oncoming traffic … I’ll have to look out for it on my next drive
- As shown in the original delivery video for this car, AP is supposedly fully calibrated and FSD Visualisation Preview has been enabled 👍
@@LudicrousFeed My AP was supposedly fully calibrated and FSD-VP enabled. Rang Tesla about it, and they apparently logged into my Car and came back and said a particular camera wasnt 100% calibrated (she actually said it was 93% or something)and I needed to do some motorway driving ! Motorways are few and far between where I live. LOL.
My 3 only shows oncoming traffic on 2-lane, non-divided roads I think.
Great real world review so circa 14 to 15kWh/100km. Just wondering why on 3 lane highway you don't drive in the left lane when not overtaking? In SA it is mandatory in light/medium traffic like that.
I see cars overtaking you on left which is a red flag you are not keeping left unless overtaking?
Is it different rules in rural NSW?
As per NSW gov website:
When driving on a motorway with a speed limit of more than 80km/h, and two or more lanes, you must not drive in the right lane, unless:
- overtaking
- avoiding an obstruction
- the traffic in each lane is congested
a sign says you can.
No specific rule that you must stay in Lane 1 at all times that I can see

Did you have a chance to try cloud profiles?
Not in this Y but I have done so in our Model 3 - check out my recent 2022.24.6 update vid 👍
How much is the real time range for Std Model Y ?
There are many factors at play when determining the instantaneous real world range of an EV which Tesla in-car energy app outlines quite well. Watch to the end of my video to see my real world highway test - just under 400km for this RWD single motor Model Y
If you use 44% of battery each way or there abouts, how do you come to you final numbers?
Combined Range driven divided by combined percentage of battery used (expressed as a decimal) will equate to 100% total range
@@LudicrousFeed 44 plus 44 is 88, not 62 %? I’m obviously missing something.
Oh and thanks for the tips…lots to learn here.
@@stevekearney9696 I’m counting purely ONLY the Highway driving start and end battery state of charge
SYD to NEW = 89% minus 61% = 28%
NEW to SYD = 93% minus 59% = 34%
28% + 34% = 62%
Phantom Braking?
Did you notice any in the video?
I wish the AP gave me as much comfort as it does you Tom. Driving from country Vic to Canberra this morning, we got 4 Phantom braking episodes with our model 3 - seemed to be due to shadows. Worst one was in middle of passing a big truck - really scary for whole family because there were other cars in fast lane behind. Each time i get my foot to the accelerator or cancel with right stalk within a second, but that's enough to slow significantly. I can't trust even the TACC now, and am going to be complaining to Tesla (then Government if I get fobbed off).
I try to travel 5-10kph faster than large trucks when overtaking otherwise my car will start tracking the truck’s speed and occasionally phantom brake. Not fun
Sorry to bother you again 😀 I finally got mine this last friday 18, Model Y RWD, everything is what you said in your previous answers, but mine is 418km at 100% battery (like everyone else I have asked in a telegram group of Spain), yours was 434km since the beggining?
Yes I believe so
It's very efficient, averaging 138 Wh/km, but weird that you're only getting 51.6 kWh of usable battery. At 57.5 kWh (which seems the capacity for Model 3 RWDs) the range should be 417 km at this consumption. Perhaps you're not regularly keeping the battery charged to 100% as advised by Tesla?
This car is 1 week old
It’s been charged to 100% twice in that time
Can you elaborate on the effects on range of not charging to 100% regularly?
LFP batteries require regular (weekly) charging to 100% to assist with range calibration
@@LudicrousFeed I just saw a charging curve video from a guy in Perth, where the car was charged to 100%. It was at 99% for 12 minutes, displaying the message "calibrating". Maybe that's something that needs to be done first after delivery. Just guessing. But it seems that there should be more capacity there, since 455 WLTP is impossible with just 51.6 kWh (only 113 Wh/km).
It’s been charged overnight to 100% twice since delivery with hours to spare before driving the next day. If calibration was required it would’ve done so during either charging session. Keep in mind too that WLTP tends to overestimate real world range because the testing is done within a mix of differing conditions. This is why I do these real world range tests to show how far one can actually travel on an average road trip at 100kph on a highway
man this seems so bad with the 375km range on full battery i've ordered one but not sure i need to reconsider it's so expensive for a $75K car to only have that range .
Eventually the battery technology will catch up and we’ll get more range. It’s the same with charging speeds, both are things that aren’t comparable to ICE cars yet but will eventually get there. In the end, unless you’re driving hundreds and hundreds of kilometres per day, so long as you can plug in when you get home, range shouldn’t be a concern. Wake up every morning with a full tank of electrons.
Keep in mind, these results are low speed and excellent conditions. Winter range… ghm
Just drove from Melbourne to Canberra. There are plenty of chargers on/near the Hume. Actually more so in NSW than Vic...
Yes, 375km range is a deal breaker for me. Mine is due in February 2023 but after watching this and Bjorn, who only got 300km out of his Model Y doing 120kph, I'm pretty sure I'm going to cancel. At this price it should have at least >400km range. also you lose 10% range in the first three years to degradation until the battery stabilizers.
3:05 Tom does "Joe Mode"
+1 to smooth highway ride 🥳
Are you still getting 51.6kw?
Do you mean range/capacity? I’d have to do a proper range test to verify
Notice your back getting sweaty from the cheap seats?
How there's no driver's display, much less a heads up display.
How annoying it is when driving that EVERYthing goes through the screen?
Could be a good car, but it's not.
Surprisingly easy to get used to. I don’t even miss the old driver’s display. Can get fiddly sometimes trying to find something that you ordinarily have a physical button and muscle memory but the voice commands are pretty good. Can’t comment on the seat sweat situation, I turn on the AC and it keeps the cabin at a comfortable consistent temperature.
Single screen is easy to drive with and quick to get used to. Not a single bead of back sweat during this drive 😅
@@ant_picard You enjoy not easily seeing you current speed and having to take your eyes of the road to check it??
@@LudicrousFeed Even the comfortably cheaper Atto3 has perforated seats to allow for comfort. And a basic speedo with a few functions on a drivers display. It's just cheap from Tesla. At least it doesn't come with the truly absurd yoke steerer.
Appreciate your clips though.
I’m thankful there now are different types of EVs to suit different types of drivers and their needs
