Questions about ownership of model y performance.

I have a 23 MYP and I drive it like a sports car. I get roughly 225ish on an 85% charge if im not taking pure freeways all the time. Its under closer to 200 if im doing freeways alot.

Ummm well I dunno. I have a 2021 Y Performance I bought in September with 69K miles on it. I’ve done about 4K miles and all I know is speed. I put the back tires on the front and went with 295’s on the rear to handle my aggressive driving knowing I would lose a little bit of range. I hit over 100mph practically every time I drive it. I’m a maniac. I was sitting in my car looking at the energy app and basically I’m getting nowhere near projected range, go figure. I was just wondering the same question you asked actually. BUT, I DID decide to drive normally the other day in chill mode for the first time. Didn’t go over 65 anywhere. Drove all over the place and I noticed a significant difference in range. Recurrent says my car is in the 95th percentile for range and I have 88% battery still. My expected range and real world range are both sitting at 228 for estimated and 226 for real world (same difference). I’m in Tulsa. The map shows that I should be able to make it to Oklahoma City and back without charging. Yyyyeeeaaaahhhhhh-No. Also got pulled over going 21 over two days ago and he gave me a warning. So maybe I slow down for a bit… 😏

I had to travel ~220 miles total some days ago and the majority of the driving was on turnpike, highways, etc so I was going at pretty high speeds and driving pretty fast. It was cold in the morning (prob 20 degrees) and then in the afternoon it was a bit warmer but still cold (maybe 35-45 degrees with sunshine). I have a 2026 Model Y LR AWD (Premium) that has an EPA of 327 miles of range. I currently only have 1000 miles on the car. I left the house at 98% and drove ~100 miles (mostly 70-80+ mph driving) to my destination. I arrived at 55%. I wanted to make sure I had enough % going home so I charged at a Tesla Supercharger from 51% to 70% (10 min drive to Supercharger). Drove home so another ~100 miles and got home with like 20-something %.

If you get smaller tires, like 19 inch, you’ll get more range

I was looking at 22-23 myp and ended up with 22 mylr awd. Saved a lot now, and future figuring in tires. With the free acceleration boost the 1/4 numbers are close enough that it’s really not going to matter. The track mode would have been interesting tho… Regardless I plan on grabbing the new juniper shocks/struts since they are so cost effective. I probably would have done the same with the performance. Regarding range itself, during my road trips I almost always stop sometime in the 3-4 hour period to stretch. So a “quick” charge is not a big deal.

Depends on what you do, if you go to '19 wheels but add more rubber for a more comfortable ride(which most people do) then the diameter of the wheels + tires ends up being the same. Saw no increase because of that.

Are you able to install level 2 charger at home? If yes, then don’t worry about the range

This is basically what I get in my bmw so I’m good with that lol

Do more than just keeping diameter the same.

What’s recurrent and how does it work ? I’m buying used from Tesla so I’d love to be able to get a percentage based reading off the battery in terms of its condition

No

Many people would not advise getting an electric car if they can’t charge at home. Supercharger is too expensive and inconvenient.

The dealership I bought my used car from hooked my car up to recurrent before I bought it. It’s a web based app that apparently has a large database of ev users and dealerships to keep up with data and insight. It’s a simple registration of the vehicle and the dealership should do it for you. It tells you the battery health, estimate and real world range along with how your car is stacking up against similar models based on the type, year, etc.

Glad to hear you found it helpful! Which dealer did you buy from?

Auto Group of Louisville. Shout out to Jeremy over there! They said it was new for them to do it this way but they were going to start implementing this method for their future tesla sales.

If you're buying the car for cheaper "gas" alternative and you dont have access to home charging, that shit will add up quick at a supercharger, and you may end up paying the same if not more than you were on the BMW.
