"Testing showed the Model Y Standard exceeded its EPA-estimated range rating of 321 miles, as Edmunds said it is the "longest-range Model Y that we've ever put on our loop." In the past, some vehicles have come up short in comparison with EPA ranges; for example, the Model Y's previous generation vehicle had an EPA-estimated range of 330 miles, but only drove 310."
"Additionally, the Launch Series Model Y, the first configuration to be built in the "Juniper" program, landed perfectly on the EPA's range estimates at 327 miles. It was also more efficient than Premium offerings, as it utilized just 22.8 kWh to go 100 miles. The Launch Series used 26.8 kWh to travel the same distance. It is tested using Edmunds' traditional EV range testing procedure, which follows a strict route of 60 percent city and 40 percent highway driving."
Tesla's newer vehicles meet or exceed EPA range estimates, reversing the underperformance of 2018–2023 models. The Model Y Standard exceeded its EPA-estimated 321-mile range and registered the longest-range Model Y on the test loop. The Launch Series Model Y matched the EPA estimate at 327 miles. The Standard was more efficient, using 22.8 kWh per 100 miles versus 26.8 kWh for the Launch Series and higher consumption for Premium trims. Testing used a strict EV range procedure with a 60% city/40% highway route, average speed of 40 MPH, speed tolerance within 5 MPH, efficient drive settings, and climate control set to 72°F, producing consistent real-world results.
