Watch The New Tesla Model Y Take On The Old One In A 70-MPH Range Test
Briefly

In a range test comparing the new Tesla Model Y 'Juniper' to the older version, the updated model achieved a road performance of 298 miles at 70 mph, surpassing the old model’s 285 miles performance. Although the new Model Y boasts up to 10% enhanced efficiency and upgrades in styling and interior quality, the outgoing model marginally exhibited better efficiency at roughly 3.7 miles per kWh. Overall, the new Model Y did provide further range on its charge, suggesting improvements in usable capacity despite not fully delivering on efficiency expectations.
Both average around 3.7 miles per kWh, but the 2024 Model eked out a narrow win. Given the wind and the general imperfections of real-world testing, this probably falls within the range of normal noise.
The new Model Y gets up to 327 miles of range on the EPA cycle, which is a 55/45 mix of city/highway driving.
Interestingly, however, the old Model Y appeared to be slightly more efficient. Both averaged around 3.7 miles per kWh.
The new Model Y also went further on a similar pack, as it gave the user more usable capacity before stopping completely.
