@@zerokool-2058 , the batteries on tesla will be warming up while it’s cold outside. So be ready for loosing a charge if you parking it outside. That’s why I call all teslas “calculators”
Everyone missed that drafting at a safe distance behind a large vehicle or semi truck is one of the most effective ways to increase range. At a safe distance of around 3 car lengths or 50 ft you can gain 10 to 20% efficiency. Autopilot or FSD states that it will drive as close as one car length, but when using it on that setting I find that it's more like three car lengths anyway which feels more comfortable :)
I'm in a model 3 taking a road trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas and some of the most practical advice is to switch acceleration to chill mode (accelerates like a normal car) and steering to comfort (steering is more softer). Use cruise control on the freeway to take advantage of adaptive cruise control. The battery will eat up less.
Forgot to mentioned 2 important ones. 1. turn off sentry mode if you're home. 2. Turn off "cool cabin" option Those 2 will drain the battery super fast.
Turn off century mode if you’re in a garage maybe 2 day old Tesla with 34 miles, picked it up at the dealership with 4 miles on it Glad the first thing I did was turn on sentry mode as 2 md night in driveway some one knock down our Christmas decorations tried to break the windshield of our Chevy avalanche and smash the windshield of our model three. Thanks to ring , sentry and a tree field cam had the suspects and provided to police and they were known and were caught days later. They took off on a bike that was stolen the day before and other added to their path of destruction.
After six months with my MYLR I just use it without any concern for range. Plug it in when I get home, could not be easier. And I don't miss gas stations one bit. Buy a Tesla, it will change your life for the better and improve your neighbors a bit also. Cheers!
I'm with you. I'm two months in and I've just decided to enjoy the car. I enjoy seeing what other people do and the people who dig into the numbers, but I just roll with it.
@@Colemada5 I drove from Florida to Oregon and really really really really ....^120 missed the range of a gas car. I think electric is the future but batteries really^120 need to improve.
I’m on day 2 with my Model Y Performance and range anxiety is definitely there. I hope I will be able to overcome it soon. Apart from that I absolutely love it!
Update: 2 weeks /800 miles of living with it and range anxiety is almost gone. Someone gave me a little neat trick. Always keep the display to show battery percentage rather than miles. Will stop you from constantly seeing the range drop and prevent range anxiety.
Update: 2 months The MY Performance is extremely low, lower than it seems. I’ve bottomed out trying to get into a friend’s drive way and caught the bottom on some speed humps. The ride is also awful, I’m based in the UK where we have awful roads. The 21 inch alloys and low profile tyres are a nightmare. Apart from that all good.
I learned from a Tesla service tech today that if you go to Climate on your phone app and press the power (on/off) button to select “on”, this will initiate the battery preconditioning.
I haven't noticed any difference between chill mode and standard on my SR+ when it comes to efficiency/range. HOWEVER, I will say I don't usually accelerate very hard...standard doesn't make you accelerate faster by itself, it just gives you the ability to do so if you want. You don't have to. Although if you don't have much experience driving a Tesla, chill mode can help you learn to accelerate slower. Also, btw, Telsa specifies that the tires should be at 42 PSI when cold. The advice you gave is completely contrary to what Tesla themselves say. The tires will go above 42 PSI after you've driven awhile, and that's normal.
You can never match the chill mode take off consistently using the standard mode. On an average trip how many times do you start and stop? Thats how many times you have to focus on how you press the accelerator. This is not even remotely close to how efficient the chill mode is. Simple math.
On my 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR, it states 42 psi when cold. This is normal for all cars to have the recommended tire pressures on the door stated at cold operating temps. My tires go up to about 45 psi when heated up. During the Los Angeles summer, I might run them a pound or 2 less.
This point should be reiterated exactly. This statement just wasn’t right in the video. All recommended tire pressures will state if it is a cold pressure recommendation. This obviously accounts for the increase in pressure as the temperature of the tire rises. If you set your pressure too low then you are actually below the recommended pressure which is 42 psi on the model Y at cold temperature. Also don’t forget to check the pressures and adjust accordingly as the seasons changed to keep it within the range. The rule of thumb is that you typically dropped one PSI per 10° of temperature change.
you have messed up the tire pressure thing multiple times now. mfg suggested PSI is cold. thats it. yes, towing, track use, offroading needs adjustment. but not daily commuting.
Yes! Automotive manufacturers, tire manufacturers and auto industry experts all advise that tire pressure should be checked when tires are cold. Do not drive them 20 or 30 minutes before checking. Thank you to the contact provider for corrected himself.
After the transmission quit on my ICE suv without a warning 100 miles from home, I towed it to the dealer and got a beautiful Model Y performance, I don't miss the other suv
I just got my model 3 but just be prepared for a potential battery repair after warranty ends for about $20k. I’m hoping prices fall by then because if they don’t then I’m going to sell my Tesla when my warranty runs out and either go back to used cheap ice vechile or lease another new Tesla
Drove a Prius 10+years before my new baby and sadly nothing new. All common sense. It is similar to the Airlines, where more and more of the “budget” one even charge for carry on lol. This past summer, a large group was flying to Las Vegas and they took a budget airline with no carry-on or anything else. Now this wedding was planned in Seattle, and for all the guests flying in all of their luggage was going to be driven in on a truck.. this truck was also bringing stuff in for the wedding ceremony and reception and so they did the math for this and doing stuff. This method was saving them a very large amount of money.but all admitted that this was no way environmentally friendly, but was financially friendly lol I’ve watched a few of your videos, and they have been unbelievably great for me cleaning vehicles like cleaning the air-conditioning and other aspects seeing it on the screen makes it in so much easier but for this one was hoping for something new, and sadly did not find
Thanks for the tips. BUT, your tire pressure tip is wrong and unsafe The COLD tire pressure is the recommended pressure, not the warmed up pressure. A low pressure tire is A significantly higher blowout risk.
...and...how many supercharging stations, service centers and mobile service vehicles does Rivian provide? Few if any. You couldn't GIVE me one. Tesla is the leader, the only one to consider this decade. Although I've enjoyed long trips in my Tesla (nav directs me to superchargers which are welcomed breaks,,,without worrying where the next gas station might be), I appreciate your tips on extending range. thnx.
I just ordered a Model Y Performance myself, so I’m on board the electric car train, but the thing about all this is you just don’t have to think about things like this so much with ICE cars. I can put whatever I want in my GTI and drive upwind or downwind in hot or cold temperatures and not give a single thought to how things like that affect how far I can go. Uphill driving, high speed, tire pressure, sure, but not things like the direction of the wind or how cold it is outside. EVs still have big problems to solve.
A/C on my ICEs increase the fuel consumption with 1% (Honda Civic) and 1,5% (Nissan Primera). Driving against the wind increase the fuel consumption with aprox. 2%-4%. Running the A/C system in an EV decrease the range with aprox. 10%; in a Model 3 LR parked, with A/C running for 15 minutes, the range has decreased with 5 km.
Of Course chill mode does extend your range. if the car is 2023 or newer equipped with the Octo valve heat pump, then You save more energy using it than the seat / steering wheel heat. Tesla is very well insulated, so you can turn on the heat for a little bit and then turn if off for a while. It does not get cold right away like the other cars. Also a tip, you can just hold the temp (73 degrees) and it turns off, and then tap it when needed to turn back on or use voice commands.
Along with the cabin temp settings, window tint and the heat shield may give more range when the car is try to cool on hot days. Also slowing down so that you do not have come to a full stop and gain back speed will help if the traffic light and you can time it, I make a game out of it.
Good video. Great topic. Great advice. Good presentation style and pace. Thanks. I improve range with special ceiling covering. Start with Tesla brand roof sunshade screens. Add layer of space blanket trimmed to fit on top of sun screen. Tremendous insulation which helps in summer by : 1. reflecting inbound infra red heat from sun. 2. Insulates cabin from heat radiating off of hot glass onto your head. All this reduces energy demand frem AC to give it to more range. Winter time energy savings: 1. Insulates warm cabin from cold glass roof surface which when left un-insulated dumps cold convected air onto your head.
I think all it does is warm the battery in cold climates. It helps with range, but I don't think it helps with overall cost if you're paying for electricity.
The tire thing made no sense. It gives you a cold PSI which means put that much air before you even move the car. Which for me it says 45 psi so I set it to that when the car sits overnight
Contrary to popular belief regen braking is actually less efficient than coasting. Regen is definitely more efficient than friction braking. However, you should never use any braking at all whether it be friction or even regen braking if you are trying to maximize efficiency.
@@Gabri3lRocha I never use the friction brakes in my Tesla at all. I should never have to replace the brake pads because they simply never get used at all.
@@LearningFastyour comment had me do some research for an hour last night and found that yes you are right both are inefficient. Not sure if I’m right here but I guess overall regen is more efficient than coasting to a stop. regen loses energy to heat both while recharging the battery and then again using that power. The difference with coasting is that friction and heat is stopping the car and none of that kinetic energy is being stored away and instead just wasting it
Based on the comments i detect a lack of decent education... Its physics guys. Pretty simple. If you want to go far, avoid breaking. Both regen and friction.
Question on Charging my Tesla model Y vehicle: Is it better for the battery and possibly giving us longer life by always letting the battery drop down to 20% and then charge the vehicle back up??? Note: I will be getting my new 2023 model Y in a week or two so learning about how to charge the vehicle. I will be driving only short distances on most days being retired so for several days their will still be ample charge until it will reach 20%. So I may only need to charge up the model Y a few times a week. This said, I shouldn't have to keep the charger plugged in all the time. What are your thoughts on this?? Thanks for the video and take care.
My question is, will a car that's dirty get better efficiency when going down wind when compared to a clean one? Or should I maybe just leave the back half of my car dirty?
Probably not. You're still traveling faster than the wind, so it's still better to have a clean car. I wonder if stuff like ceramic coats can help even more, haha.
Chill mode was one of the first settings I changed not so much because of battery consumption but because of acceleration, it was going way too hard, for city driving I'd have to really feather stroke the pedal for the car not to fly off, and this on a RWD.
I checked a document called “Model S Efficiency and Range” by Elon M and JB Straubel from May 9 2012. There is an interesting graph “Range vs. Constant Speed”in ideal conditions, for example no heating or cooling. The optimal range is in between about 17-26mph with a theoretical range of 450 miles. 55mph gives slightly above 300 miles.
GJeebs, you are wrong on the tire pressure for Tesla vehicles. I read the manual last night and they specified that the tire pressure be measured when the tire is cold. They stated that even 1 mile will increase tire tempature.
I run my Model S at 52 PSI and get 260Wh/Mi Set cruse control Also draft off larger vehicles, set flow distance down to 1 or 2 car lengths. I make sure they aren't a vehicle that will kick up rocks.
1. Chill mode 2. Turn off heat or AC 3. Keep the car clean 4. Tire pressure 5. Driving habit (speed, use of brake) 6. Less weight in the car 7. Remove roof racks 8. use aero wheel caps 9. Keep your Tesla plugged in 10. Preconditioning 11. Wheel configuration 12. Turn off sentry mode. Turning off sentry mode gives back 10 miles per day.
i bought a tesla M3P to use as much coal energy as i want. To be serious, if you own a home and have a charger plugged in overnight, you add 20% overnight each night... like as if you're ever using more than 25% daily? Anyway, great video
I drive 120 miles every day... 90% of this is highway... I live in Florida, should I charge every time to 80% or do you recommend, based on your experience, charging to 100%?
I just bought my model 3 and did the performance upgrade amd a different mag and wheel package.. these are all great points but at some point a person has ro be happy/content with what they have, etc. Theres such a huge difference between chill and sport mode for example. Just take care of a tesla, and itll all be good. A person cant make anything perfect.
After 67k kilometres my car consistently beats the car's energy consumption figures by at least 10%. I use chill mode, and don't drive like I stole it - perhaps the same settings used for the EPA tests! 🙂
How can i make my model Y regen breaking less aggressive? In model X there was possibility to make it more or less aggressive but in model Y i cant do that?
You talked about extending range but doing all that, but how much of the range can you actually increase by doing all of these? Is it worth it to squeeze out a couple of miles extra whole sacrificing all the real features you want to have by buying a Tesla? 😅
The EPA range is based on a test that's an a live with the car going about 45 to 55 miles an hour that's not real usage. They need to be able to have a highway range of 300 miles going 65 miles an hour, then that will be more realistic.
If I drive obeying all speed limits, I am getting exactly the milage shown on "battery indicator" eg. 16,6 Wh consumption. My problem is that we do not have general speed limit on our highways, so my average consumption is rather higher.
Thank you! This was a fantastic video. Facts right at the start, no padding or self serving chatter, even tone of voice, well spoken, good editing, and sharply produced. First video I've seen and already subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more!
If I drive my Model 3 in Chill mode and honor speed limits, the consumption is always around official Tesla published figure consumption (a bit more or a bit less).
Hello . Just picked up a model y and I didn’t wanna charge it during peak hours so I charged to 90% on Friday and didn’t charge again until Monday and the battery was depleted to 3% . I realize now after my friend yelled at me that this is very bad charging practice but my question is did I ruin anything by doing that ? The mY only has 800 miles . I definitely learned my lesson now but hoping I didn’t ruin anything?? Please reply and help
I get practically nothing out of this. What I need is to know more quantitavily how these things make a difference. I think there all in the trivial range. I really want to know about the pre conditioning
Actually, simply opposite, dirty surface increases range. Similar to gulf ball, rough surface damages the laminar flow and reduce the low-pressure zone behind your car
This channel is so underrated. Thanks Ben for such important piece of information, surely learned something new from most of your videos as a fellow MY owner. A lot better than what the usual car reviewers post with an experience driving cars for just a day or a week. The real and authentic piece of information like this, is hidden and somehow less popular when people make their decisions. As another MYLR owner for 11 months/ 26,000 miles, I attest to all of the points mentioned in the video (pretty sure many others would too).
I really wish Preconditioning the battery wasn't tied to Preconditioning the cabin. I don't need or want my cabin temperature adjusted if I just want the battery to precondition.
i drive that Indio grade daily in my MYP. i commute in from Blythe. I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to make my range last me the full trip. so far I have to charge going both ways. I'm too scared of running out of battery! I'm going to try some of these. it's way too hot through that desert to run without a/c on my afternoon commute in. doing the scheduled departure when i leave work in the morning... will this help me get a better charging speed? the Tesla supercharger in Indio is HORRIBLE and takes forever. I'm tired of sitting there for 20+ mins every morning just to get enough mileage to get home. I'm still green when it comes to this. any other advice?
Probably the best thing you could do is a get a set of 19” wheels. That will bring the range up a lot. That indio supercharger is awful. I’ve been there
@Gjeebs such a great video! When you mentioned removing roof racks to increase range, I also heard that people that utilize some kind of solar panels helps increase range too. But is that really true?
Thank you for putting content together for us. As far as I understand manufacturer tire pressure recommendation are always "cold" so if tessy wants 42psi, you fill it to 42.
Sooo i have been looking for videos like these because i bought a 2018 Model 3 Long Range but im getting less than 200 miles!! Is that a serious problem or what? I live in Los Angeles. And there are 20” wheels on the car. No roof rack or anything external. Why am I getting such poor mileage? Please help!!
Edmunds did a second test after Tesla informed them of the buffer after the vehicle shows 0%. Generally teslas have additional 20 miles of range even after the display shows 0%. Maybe Tesla shouldn’t do that and be less conservative.
Wild. I've always thought my gas cars (3 hybrids) ran better when they were clean. And now come to find out (via Gjeeves) this increases MPG/Electric efficiency. Cool.❤❤❤❤
Hi! I have 2021 tesla model 3 long range. I used level 1 all the time. However, is it possible to charge twice a day? Is it okay with the battery? I usually charge my car to work which is level 1 and when I got home I charge level 1 again.
I know it's already been mentioned by others, but the OEM recommended tire pressure is not the "operating psi". It's the cold psi. If you're setting your Teslas tire pressure to the factory recommended, then you should be seeing around 47 psi while driving. That higher psi does improve range and tire life, at the cost of ride quality and a little grip.
Lucid is using brand new technology. Also their car costs over $120k. If Tesla had a brand new car right now in that price range it could easily get the range of the Lucid. Lucid games the system just like Tesla too.
Engineers put painstaking amounts of effort into reducing weight and people drive around with trash, golf bags, half-full water bottles, etc. without even a thought, SMH
If “Just For Today” was a button! Great video I am trying to learn more about energy expenditure and how to read the energy screens on the Tesla. - Friend of Bill W.
Can you make a video 5-10 Things You Would Like Tesla To Add In The Model Y? 1. Heads up display on the window, showing MPG and Maps like the BMW 2. Air Suspension 3. More miles 4. Better battery life 5. Faster charging 6. Better interior quality?
@@Gjeebs I think they secretly listen (not to you specifically, but overall) though because of the competition and no one wants to put out a bad product. Example changes.. Double windows for noise reduction. They got rid of the piano black. Labels on the buttons to open the door etc. They do listen; however, each item they add I believe it brings up the price and there's a certain price they must keep it at for optimal profit.
The interior quality is good ! I came from a 2019 X5 and I was very anxious that the MY would be unbearable in terms of quality…… But I needn’t have been anxious, the MY is pretty good !
The Tesla Owners manual states that the tires should be at 42 psi cold. Higher pressures that happen after the car is running are expected. No matter, this is a great summary of the things you can do to make your car go longer between charges.
I was labouring under the misapprehension that EPA was measured by the Environmental Protection Agency using the same parameters for all cars. Therefore, all EV have a higher EPA range than real world. It is much the same with ICE cars mpg. I would hope that when electricity prices go back down (they anyway cheaper in the US than the UK as indeed are the cars ) and charging stations become truly ubiquitous, the obsession that some have for maximising range will cool a little along with the attendant range anxiety. I have never (had to) compromised my enjoyment of the features and capabilities of my ICE cars (within the law and with due consideration for other road users) and I am unlikely to start now with my gorgeous Tesla except in areas with a paucity of charging opportunities. This does not mean that I don't appreciate the work you have done researching the subject (and others) or that I enjoy your videos any less in spite of the few inaccuracies and the slightly sententious manner to which your delivery is tending; I love the light, witty and slightly anarchic enthusiasm of your early work..... just saying'.
Correction Recommended Tire pressures are Cold, which is displayed on tire pressure placard. Best method is to check and set the pressures in the garage or shaded area where both sides of the car have not been exposed to the sun after car has been sitting overnight before you drive.

I like the AC and I live where we get snow. So Definitely get super cold here.
From my experience the biggest range savers are chill mode and minimizing speed and fast acceleration on uphill roads
@@zerokool-2058 , the batteries on tesla will be warming up while it’s cold outside. So be ready for loosing a charge if you parking it outside.
That’s why I call all teslas “calculators”
Basically: keep it inflated and clean, then turn off all the features and drive like your grandma.
Buy a car and dont use any options available with it lol what a bargain .
May as well just buy a electric bike instead .
I love how theres no intro and Gjeebs just literally goes straight to point #1.

Everyone missed that drafting at a safe distance behind a large vehicle or semi truck is one of the most effective ways to increase range. At a safe distance of around 3 car lengths or 50 ft you can gain 10 to 20% efficiency.
Autopilot or FSD states that it will drive as close as one car length, but when using it on that setting I find that it's more like three car lengths anyway which feels more comfortable :)
I'm in a model 3 taking a road trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas and some of the most practical advice is to switch acceleration to chill mode (accelerates like a normal car) and steering to comfort (steering is more softer). Use cruise control on the freeway to take advantage of adaptive cruise control. The battery will eat up less.
Forgot to mentioned 2 important ones.
1. turn off sentry mode if you're home.
2. Turn off "cool cabin" option
Those 2 will drain the battery super fast.
Turn off century mode if you’re in a garage maybe
2 day old Tesla with 34 miles, picked it up at the dealership with 4 miles on it
Glad the first thing I did was turn on sentry mode as 2 md night in driveway some one knock down our Christmas decorations tried to break the windshield of our Chevy avalanche and smash the windshield of our model three. Thanks to ring , sentry and a tree field cam had the suspects and provided to police and they were known and were caught days later. They took off on a bike that was stolen the day before and other added to their path of destruction.
After six months with my MYLR I just use it without any concern for range. Plug it in when I get home, could not be easier. And I don't miss gas stations one bit.
Buy a Tesla, it will change your life for the better and improve your neighbors a bit also. Cheers!
I'm with you. I'm two months in and I've just decided to enjoy the car. I enjoy seeing what other people do and the people who dig into the numbers, but I just roll with it.
@@Colemada5 I drove from Florida to Oregon and really really really really ....^120 missed the range of a gas car. I think electric is the future but batteries really^120 need to improve.
I’m on day 2 with my Model Y Performance and range anxiety is definitely there. I hope I will be able to overcome it soon. Apart from that I absolutely love it!
Update: 2 weeks
/800 miles of living with it and range anxiety is almost gone. Someone gave me a little neat trick. Always keep the display to show battery percentage rather than miles. Will stop you from constantly seeing the range drop and prevent range anxiety.
Update: 2 months
The MY Performance is extremely low, lower than it seems. I’ve bottomed out trying to get into a friend’s drive way and caught the bottom on some speed humps. The ride is also awful, I’m based in the UK where we have awful roads. The 21 inch alloys and low profile tyres are a nightmare. Apart from that all good.
Thank you for getting to the point off your video immediately…. Wish ever would do this…. Also no annoying intro or background music! Well done!!!
I learned from a Tesla service tech today that if you go to Climate on your phone app and press the power (on/off) button to select “on”, this will initiate the battery preconditioning.
Thank you! Chill mode set!
I haven't noticed any difference between chill mode and standard on my SR+ when it comes to efficiency/range. HOWEVER, I will say I don't usually accelerate very hard...standard doesn't make you accelerate faster by itself, it just gives you the ability to do so if you want. You don't have to. Although if you don't have much experience driving a Tesla, chill mode can help you learn to accelerate slower.
Also, btw, Telsa specifies that the tires should be at 42 PSI when cold. The advice you gave is completely contrary to what Tesla themselves say. The tires will go above 42 PSI after you've driven awhile, and that's normal.
You can never match the chill mode take off consistently using the standard mode. On an average trip how many times do you start and stop? Thats how many times you have to focus on how you press the accelerator. This is not even remotely close to how efficient the chill mode is. Simple math.
On my 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR, it states 42 psi when cold. This is normal for all cars to have the recommended tire pressures on the door stated at cold operating temps. My tires go up to about 45 psi when heated up. During the Los Angeles summer, I might run them a pound or 2 less.
This point should be reiterated exactly. This statement just wasn’t right in the video. All recommended tire pressures will state if it is a cold pressure recommendation. This obviously accounts for the increase in pressure as the temperature of the tire rises. If you set your pressure too low then you are actually below the recommended pressure which is 42 psi on the model Y at cold temperature. Also don’t forget to check the pressures and adjust accordingly as the seasons changed to keep it within the range. The rule of thumb is that you typically dropped one PSI per 10° of temperature change.
you have messed up the tire pressure thing multiple times now. mfg suggested PSI is cold. thats it. yes, towing, track use, offroading needs adjustment. but not daily commuting.
Yep! Paused video and came straight to the comments. Finally someone said something. TY
Yes! Automotive manufacturers, tire manufacturers and auto industry experts all advise that tire pressure should be checked when tires are cold. Do not drive them 20 or 30 minutes before checking. Thank you to the contact provider for corrected himself.
If you drive more than 4 miles your tire pressure will read 3-4 psi more than when it's cold. the door jamb label is for cold pressure
I bet Gjeebs doesn't know the tires sizes are rated for 50 to 51 psi max. 42 psi cold is just fine.
@@JosephTMeiroseIVsame
Solid video. Thanks for sharing.
I alway increase my range by driving downhill everywhere I go, it may be a bit longer of a drive, but it's worth it. haha
😂😂😂
I did the same. I’m in Hell now tho so I would highly advise going back uphill at some point.
Video and audio quality are on point. Content is great, and I love that you added value immediately. Within 10 seconds I had my first tip.
You were 100% right about the Tesla range! You should do a video on this!
Good video, one error, check your tire pressure when the tires are cold (IE, undriven for several hours per Tesla and traditional convention).
After the transmission quit on my ICE suv without a warning 100 miles from home, I towed it to the dealer and got a beautiful Model Y performance, I don't miss the other suv
I just got my model 3 but just be prepared for a potential battery repair after warranty ends for about $20k. I’m hoping prices fall by then because if they don’t then I’m going to sell my Tesla when my warranty runs out and either go back to used cheap ice vechile or lease another new Tesla
Drove a Prius 10+years before my new baby and sadly nothing new. All common sense.
It is similar to the Airlines, where more and more of the “budget” one even charge for carry on lol. This past summer, a large group was flying to Las Vegas and they took a budget airline with no carry-on or anything else. Now this wedding was planned in Seattle, and for all the guests flying in all of their luggage was going to be driven in on a truck.. this truck was also bringing stuff in for the wedding ceremony and reception and so they did the math for this and doing stuff. This method was saving them a very large amount of money.but all admitted that this was no way environmentally friendly, but was financially friendly lol I’ve watched a few of your videos, and they have been unbelievably great for me cleaning vehicles like cleaning the air-conditioning and other aspects seeing it on the screen makes it in so much easier but for this one was hoping for something new, and sadly did not find
Thanks for the tips. BUT, your tire pressure tip is wrong and unsafe
The COLD tire pressure is the recommended pressure, not the warmed up pressure. A low pressure tire is A significantly higher blowout risk.
Also one tine I drove 50 miles per hour on the freeway and go 380 mile range
4:30 i have a 2023 model 3 RWD its rated for 490km i get about 430km in range thats with standard and sport modes on
...and...how many supercharging stations, service centers and mobile service vehicles does Rivian provide? Few if any. You couldn't GIVE me one. Tesla is the leader, the only one to consider this decade. Although I've enjoyed long trips in my Tesla (nav directs me to superchargers which are welcomed breaks,,,without worrying where the next gas station might be), I appreciate your tips on extending range. thnx.
I just ordered a Model Y Performance myself, so I’m on board the electric car train, but the thing about all this is you just don’t have to think about things like this so much with ICE cars. I can put whatever I want in my GTI and drive upwind or downwind in hot or cold temperatures and not give a single thought to how things like that affect how far I can go. Uphill driving, high speed, tire pressure, sure, but not things like the direction of the wind or how cold it is outside. EVs still have big problems to solve.
A/C on my ICEs increase the fuel consumption with 1% (Honda Civic) and 1,5% (Nissan Primera). Driving against the wind increase the fuel consumption with aprox. 2%-4%. Running the A/C system in an EV decrease the range with aprox. 10%; in a Model 3 LR parked, with A/C running for 15 minutes, the range has decreased with 5 km.
Have been very happy with my Tesla, but I agree with you regarding the company's stated range vs reality. Not even close.
awesome tips for making the tesla go farther thank you.
Of Course chill mode does extend your range. if the car is 2023 or newer equipped with the Octo valve heat pump, then You save more energy using it than the seat / steering wheel heat. Tesla is very well insulated, so you can turn on the heat for a little bit and then turn if off for a while. It does not get cold right away like the other cars. Also a tip, you can just hold the temp (73 degrees) and it turns off, and then tap it when needed to turn back on or use voice commands.
Tesla manual states that tire pressure should be check cold or after the car has sat for at least 3 hours. This is also in line with other OE.
Along with the cabin temp settings, window tint and the heat shield may give more range when the car is try to cool on hot days. Also slowing down so that you do not have come to a full stop and gain back speed will help if the traffic light and you can time it, I make a game out of it.
Good video. Great topic. Great advice. Good presentation style and pace. Thanks. I improve range with special ceiling covering.
Start with Tesla brand roof sunshade screens. Add layer of space blanket trimmed to fit on top of sun screen. Tremendous insulation which helps in summer by : 1. reflecting inbound infra red heat from sun. 2. Insulates cabin from heat radiating off of hot glass onto your head. All this reduces energy demand frem AC to give it to more range.
Winter time energy savings: 1. Insulates warm cabin from cold glass roof surface which when left un-insulated dumps cold convected air onto your head.
Always check tire pressure when cold. Except racing tires - you check racing tires at operating temperatures.
I wish they would allow you to condition the battery like you can with the cabin temp.
Idk how much you can go in on pre-conditioning. I think it’s super interesting and would be sweet to have clarity on that subject
I think all it does is warm the battery in cold climates. It helps with range, but I don't think it helps with overall cost if you're paying for electricity.
The tire thing made no sense. It gives you a cold PSI which means put that much air before you even move the car. Which for me it says 45 psi so I set it to that when the car sits overnight
Contrary to popular belief regen braking is actually less efficient than coasting. Regen is definitely more efficient than friction braking. However, you should never use any braking at all whether it be friction or even regen braking if you are trying to maximize efficiency.
Hmmm interesting point. I wonder if not having to replace brakes as often would help overall in cost of ownership being cheaper
@@Gabri3lRocha I never use the friction brakes in my Tesla at all. I should never have to replace the brake pads because they simply never get used at all.
@@LearningFastyour comment had me do some research for an hour last night and found that yes you are right both are inefficient. Not sure if I’m right here but I guess overall regen is more efficient than coasting to a stop. regen loses energy to heat both while recharging the battery and then again using that power. The difference with coasting is that friction and heat is stopping the car and none of that kinetic energy is being stored away and instead just wasting it
Based on the comments i detect a lack of decent education...
Its physics guys. Pretty simple. If you want to go far, avoid breaking. Both regen and friction.
Turning your screen brightness down has a good effect on battery life as well
Question on Charging my Tesla model Y vehicle: Is it better for the battery and possibly giving us longer life by always letting the battery drop down to 20% and then charge the vehicle back up???
Note: I will be getting my new 2023 model Y in a week or two so learning about how to charge the vehicle.
I will be driving only short distances on most days being retired so for several days their will still be ample charge until it will reach 20%. So I may only need to charge up the model Y a few times a week. This said, I shouldn't have to keep the charger plugged in all the time.
What are your thoughts on this??
Thanks for the video and take care.
I would add that with 6k miles driven -tire rotation and alignment will give you higher range as well
My question is, will a car that's dirty get better efficiency when going down wind when compared to a clean one? Or should I maybe just leave the back half of my car dirty?
Probably not. You're still traveling faster than the wind, so it's still better to have a clean car. I wonder if stuff like ceramic coats can help even more, haha.
@@e4tw333 agreed, I did a ceramic on one tesla and PPF on another, PPF full front is the best way to go.
Chill mode was one of the first settings I changed not so much because of battery consumption but because of acceleration, it was going way too hard, for city driving I'd have to really feather stroke the pedal for the car not to fly off, and this on a RWD.
What about the pump n glide. Used to do that with my Nissan Leaf. 😂 now I got the MYP.
I checked a document called “Model S Efficiency and Range” by Elon M and JB Straubel from May 9 2012. There is an interesting graph “Range vs. Constant Speed”in ideal conditions, for example no heating or cooling. The optimal range is in between about 17-26mph with a theoretical range of 450 miles. 55mph gives slightly above 300 miles.
GJeebs, you are wrong on the tire pressure for Tesla vehicles. I read the manual last night and they specified that the tire pressure be measured when the tire is cold. They stated that even 1 mile will increase tire tempature.
Yes that has been addressed in the comments multiple times and pinned.
How cold should it be in the car during the winter, and I am talking - 5C etc.. What is the loss of range for keeping the temperature at 23.5C
if you can, leave it plugged in when it's that cold
I run my Model S at 52 PSI and get 260Wh/Mi
Set cruse control
Also draft off larger vehicles, set flow distance down to 1 or 2 car lengths. I make sure they aren't a vehicle that will kick up rocks.
Did you mean 42 psi?
1. Chill mode
2. Turn off heat or AC
3. Keep the car clean
4. Tire pressure
5. Driving habit (speed, use of brake)
6. Less weight in the car
7. Remove roof racks
8. use aero wheel caps
9. Keep your Tesla plugged in
10. Preconditioning
11. Wheel configuration
12. Turn off sentry mode. Turning off sentry mode gives back 10 miles per day.
Every tesla i brought i never got the range stated on the website. Its normally like 80km less than whats showing on screen.
Tire pressure as per manual is supposed to be measured COLD. The data in the manual is there for a reason
With v11 it seems it’s not possible to only turn on the seat heating without the AC turns on.
I know! That’s the worst! I liked before how I could just click the heated seat
Is a 15 minute precondition ok
i bought a tesla M3P to use as much coal energy as i want. To be serious, if you own a home and have a charger plugged in overnight, you add 20% overnight each night... like as if you're ever using more than 25% daily? Anyway, great video
I drive 120 miles every day... 90% of this is highway... I live in Florida, should I charge every time to 80% or do you recommend, based on your experience, charging to 100%?
I just bought my model 3 and did the performance upgrade amd a different mag and wheel package.. these are all great points but at some point a person has ro be happy/content with what they have, etc. Theres such a huge difference between chill and sport mode for example. Just take care of a tesla, and itll all be good. A person cant make anything perfect.
After 67k kilometres my car consistently beats the car's energy consumption figures by at least 10%. I use chill mode, and don't drive like I stole it - perhaps the same settings used for the EPA tests! 🙂
How can i make my model Y regen breaking less aggressive?
In model X there was possibility to make it more or less aggressive but in model Y i cant do that?
Im In AZ too. do you recommend repel window wrap for heat and other issues
You talked about extending range but doing all that, but how much of the range can you actually increase by doing all of these? Is it worth it to squeeze out a couple of miles extra whole sacrificing all the real features you want to have by buying a Tesla? 😅
The EPA range is based on a test that's an a live with the car going about 45 to 55 miles an hour that's not real usage. They need to be able to have a highway range of 300 miles going 65 miles an hour, then that will be more realistic.
Is that blue tint on the ceiling a tint or a cover of some sort?
Do precondition drain the battery? I know it warms battery.
Eg I work 5 days in a week but one other day can I do?
If I drive obeying all speed limits, I am getting exactly the milage shown on "battery indicator" eg. 16,6 Wh consumption.
My problem is that we do not have general speed limit on our highways, so my average consumption is rather higher.
Thank you! This was a fantastic video. Facts right at the start, no padding or self serving chatter, even tone of voice, well spoken, good editing, and sharply produced. First video I've seen and already subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more!
Thank you!
If I drive my Model 3 in Chill mode and honor speed limits, the consumption is always around official Tesla published figure consumption (a bit more or a bit less).
Straight to the point. I like it!
Tire pressure is measured and inflated or deflated when the tires are cold, buddy
Hello . Just picked up a model y and I didn’t wanna charge it during peak hours so I charged to 90% on Friday and didn’t charge again until Monday and the battery was depleted to 3% . I realize now after my friend yelled at me that this is very bad charging practice but my question is did I ruin anything by doing that ? The mY only has 800 miles . I definitely learned my lesson now but hoping I didn’t ruin anything?? Please reply and help
Try charging as soon as you reach 20%
I get practically nothing out of this. What I need is to know more quantitavily how these things make a difference. I think there all in the trivial range. I really want to know about the pre conditioning
Actually, simply opposite, dirty surface increases range. Similar to gulf ball, rough surface damages the laminar flow and reduce the low-pressure zone behind your car
This channel is so underrated. Thanks Ben for such important piece of information, surely learned something new from most of your videos as a fellow MY owner.
A lot better than what the usual car reviewers post with an experience driving cars for just a day or a week. The real and authentic piece of information like this, is hidden and somehow less popular when people make their decisions.
As another MYLR owner for 11 months/ 26,000 miles, I attest to all of the points mentioned in the video (pretty sure many others would too).
Such a glowing review for not understanding tire pressure.
Another great video! I go back and forth on getting if I should have optioned the white interior for my MY or not (too late now lol).
I have the white… love it !
Cool, I wonder if the range is based on an empty Tesla. For every 100 lbs you can use up to 2% range. A good reason to stay slim or lose weight.
I really wish Preconditioning the battery wasn't tied to Preconditioning the cabin. I don't need or want my cabin temperature adjusted if I just want the battery to precondition.
Totally agree. They could do it with a software update
Got that unlimited wash club for my model Y baby!
Gotta keep it slick
i drive that Indio grade daily in my MYP. i commute in from Blythe. I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to make my range last me the full trip. so far I have to charge going both ways. I'm too scared of running out of battery! I'm going to try some of these. it's way too hot through that desert to run without a/c on my afternoon commute in. doing the scheduled departure when i leave work in the morning... will this help me get a better charging speed? the Tesla supercharger in Indio is HORRIBLE and takes forever. I'm tired of sitting there for 20+ mins every morning just to get enough mileage to get home. I'm still green when it comes to this. any other advice?
Probably the best thing you could do is a get a set of 19” wheels. That will bring the range up a lot. That indio supercharger is awful. I’ve been there
@Gjeebs such a great video! When you mentioned removing roof racks to increase range, I also heard that people that utilize some kind of solar panels helps increase range too. But is that really true?
Thank you for putting content together for us.
As far as I understand manufacturer tire pressure recommendation are always "cold" so if tessy wants 42psi, you fill it to 42.
You got it and yes that was a mistake in the video
@@Gjeebs super tiny miss, I'd have huge misses if I tried to make a video like yours, thank you for the content!
Aren't manufacturer recommended tire pressure for cold tire pressure and not operating pressure?
Will a spoiler increase your mileage? I’ve heard it will only make a difference if you go over 70 mph.
Maybe if you get the one from unplugged performance which was wind tunnel tested other than that I doubt it

And there are 20” wheels on the car. No roof rack or anything external. Why am I getting such poor mileage? Please help!!
Edmunds did a second test after Tesla informed them of the buffer after the vehicle shows 0%. Generally teslas have additional 20 miles of range even after the display shows 0%. Maybe Tesla shouldn’t do that and be less conservative.
20 miles of range when the battery is at 0%? I find that very hard to believe

Wild. I've always thought my gas cars (3 hybrids) ran better when they were clean. And now come to find out (via Gjeeves) this increases MPG/Electric efficiency. Cool.❤❤❤❤
Hi! I have 2021 tesla model 3 long range. I used level 1 all the time. However, is it possible to charge twice a day? Is it okay with the battery? I usually charge my car to work which is level 1 and when I got home I charge level 1 again.
I know it's already been mentioned by others, but the OEM recommended tire pressure is not the "operating psi". It's the cold psi. If you're setting your Teslas tire pressure to the factory recommended, then you should be seeing around 47 psi while driving. That higher psi does improve range and tire life, at the cost of ride quality and a little grip.
Somewhat ironic that he’s pushing extra range measures but runs his car tires under inflated by 5 psi…..
What’s with the Rivian? That’s truly a goofball EV if there ever was one.
I really like mine
Add a spoiler increase range by 15 miles
Lucid is using brand new technology. Also their car costs over $120k. If Tesla had a brand new car right now in that price range it could easily get the range of the Lucid. Lucid games the system just like Tesla too.
Engineers put painstaking amounts of effort into reducing weight and people drive around with trash, golf bags, half-full water bottles, etc. without even a thought, SMH
Haha 😂
If “Just For Today” was a button! Great video I am trying to learn more about energy expenditure and how to read the energy screens on the Tesla. - Friend of Bill W.
Can you make a video 5-10 Things You Would Like Tesla To Add In The Model Y? 1. Heads up display on the window, showing MPG and Maps like the BMW 2. Air Suspension 3. More miles 4. Better battery life 5. Faster charging 6. Better interior quality?
I’ll consider it but it’s like talking to a wall. Tesla is going to do what they want
@@Gjeebs I think they secretly listen (not to you specifically, but overall) though because of the competition and no one wants to put out a bad product. Example changes.. Double windows for noise reduction. They got rid of the piano black. Labels on the buttons to open the door etc. They do listen; however, each item they add I believe it brings up the price and there's a certain price they must keep it at for optimal profit.
Hud is the dumbest thing ever. Why would you need a hud when you have all that information on the screen
The interior quality is good ! I came from a 2019 X5 and I was very anxious that the MY would be unbearable in terms of quality…… But I needn’t have been anxious, the MY is pretty good !
I get the over the epa on my Tesla so the range is how you drive. My car stays dirty so don’t think anything there is a big difference.
The Tesla Owners manual states that the tires should be at 42 psi cold. Higher pressures that happen after the car is running are expected.
No matter, this is a great summary of the things you can do to make your car go longer between charges.
Yea I just noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out
I think most manufacturers list cold PSI. My Acura does.

I was labouring under the misapprehension that EPA was measured by the Environmental Protection Agency using the same parameters for all cars. Therefore, all EV have a higher EPA range than real world. It is much the same with ICE cars mpg.
I would hope that when electricity prices go back down (they anyway cheaper in the US than the UK as indeed are the cars ) and charging stations become truly ubiquitous, the obsession that some have for maximising range will cool a little along with the attendant range anxiety.
I have never (had to) compromised my enjoyment of the features and capabilities of my ICE cars (within the law and with due consideration for other road users) and I am unlikely to start now with my gorgeous Tesla except in areas with a paucity of charging opportunities.
This does not mean that I don't appreciate the work you have done researching the subject (and others) or that I enjoy your videos any less in spite of the few inaccuracies and the slightly sententious manner to which your delivery is tending; I love the light, witty and slightly anarchic enthusiasm of your early work..... just saying'.
Correction Recommended Tire pressures are Cold, which is displayed on tire pressure placard. Best method is to check and set the pressures in the garage or shaded area where both sides of the car have not been exposed to the sun after car has been sitting overnight before you drive.
Big fan here, I love your vids so much! I actually just got my own model 3. I hope to maintain its range 🙏🏽
Question.
When you have the Tesla plugged in and you put 80% but you leave it plugged. Does it go keep it at 80% and basically not charging ?
Yea it just holds at 80 and stops charging it may fall a few percent and then it will kick back on
What gives me a crazy difference is music! Turn off your music and your range will increase drastically
Really how much of a difference you think this makes?
Nice video Gjeebs. Cheers for these pointers.
