Tesla Model Y & 3 ultimate real range test. What happens beyond zero and when you run out of battery

#modely #tesla #model3
This time we take our new Tesla Model Y Long Range and do a REAL range test by driving from absolute full until absolute zero.
We charge it at a Supercharger until it is 100% charging complete. Then we drive it in real-world speed and conditions side-by-side in convoy with our model 3 Long Range. We then go beyond zero and see how much further it goes…!
We can then measure;
1. Real world range
2. Useable battery capacity
3. What happens when you go beyond 0%
4. What happens when it dies!
5. The maximum possible time and cost to recharge
We’ll see how quickly it comes to a stop. What happens then? The 12v system also shuts down so what do you then do?
Big thanks to Hannah

Efficiency table (sorry it wasn’t in video!) Model 3 - 235 wh/mi (4.26 mi/kWh / 14.6kwh/100km) Useable capacity: 69 kWh Final range: 293 Model Y - 264 wh/mi (3.79 mi/kWh / 16.4 kWh/100km) Useable capacity: 76kwh Final Range: 289

[@mrmawson2438]

So having a bigger body make's the difference ?

[@commuterbranchline8132]

That’s a very close second for the model Y given the 20’s and the extra weight and size. I wonder how close they would be if both were on 18’s or 19’s?

[@teslasnek]

You need to repeat this on a Tesla Model 3/Y that has the new lithium-ion 12V battery to see if it shuts down the same way!

[@RSEV]

@@teslasnek mine does have the lithium 12v…!

[@teslasnek]

@@RSEV Oh ok, lol nevermind then 😄 Did you state that? Maybe I missed it

[@chris-adams-tas]

Big thumbs up. Good point about Hannah's power supply being fundamentally a "petrol station".

[@garnerdix2829]

As a matter of fact, you could potentially go to an actual petrol station and use an electric outlet there to charge up a little in a pinch. That would be kinda hilarious.

[@EhabAboud]

Fantastic video! Really enjoyed this one. It's indescribably useful to know what happens to these cars. Sometimes the unknown is scarier and this helps paint a picture

[@MaximilienBaudA]

I agree with all of this. WELL DONE!!!

[@factfulness-perleth7764]

Losers cant afford a Tesla, so why do you worry?

[@deand1696]

The content is getting better and better! Really informative and entertaining at the same time. Great job 👏

[@iainweller452]

Great episode, this is exactly what I want to see, just the kind of information we want 👍

[@NattyFlump]

Got a Model YLR on order and it's REALLY useful to see videos like this, giving insight into exactly what happens if someone does this. As you mention in the video I doubt many people will experience this given all the warnings you get, but I would never have thought to pop the frunk or drop the window a little in anticipation of the 12V system failing. Thank you

[@jasondh1972]

Brilliant video. Best one I've seen and as a model 3 long range owner there is some really important stuff to be aware of. Thanks.

[@JakesRandomAdventures]

Amazing content - I’ve a Model Y LR 7 seater and wanted to try this out but backed off in fear of not knowing what to do. Your video helps dispel those fears and makes us feel at home.

[@simonhobbs9097]

Great video Richard, really good to see how the Tesla reacts to 0% and beyond.

[@maxflight777]

Love your videos ! Factual and fair. The MY weighs 351 Lbs more and has a much greater frontal area… so I think it does pretty well !

[@ramblerandy2397]

Excellent and informative video. Truth is, unless we ordinary drivers are super stupid, we'll never encounter this scenario. But it's nice to know. And thank you Hannah for the happy ending. 😊

[@tinyman7779]

Another fantastic and informative video. Thank you guys.

[@chrissherlock1257]

Well done Richard and Gints. Extremely useful to know what happens down to zero!

[@sultanramzan1983]

Really appreciate the effort and time you put into your videos, they are so informative and enjoyable to watch. I live over 100 miles away from your showroom, but when I am ready to buy an EV most likely will be from a trusted knowledgeable seller like you and your team . Well done 👍

[@tessywessy7605]

Excellent video from Team Symons, well done. We need to know the things we would never dare do ourselves, thanks.

[@Warekiwi]

Excellent video thanks. As a new Y owner and BEV newbie this is essential viewing IMHO! Now I need to go out and locate the 12v terminals! Your notes about not locking oneself out of the car are invaluable!

[@RSEV]

Glad useful but probably something you’ll never encounter. We’ll make another short video about what to do in the event of a flat

[@karimgreen8732]

Great video Richard, I think when people do these sorts of test it would be interesting to bring a similar performance petrol and diesel along as the EV haters always say they could just fill up with a can of fuel, I'd be interested to see what actually happens, especially with the diesel.

[@maxflight777]

I was “lucky” enough to keep both the X5 and MY for 8 days after collecting the Tesla. When I drove the X5 to the dealer, on day 8, (after 1500 miles in the MY ) I was quite shocked at how “jiggly“ the ride felt and how “old-fashioned” and slow the X5 was Enjoy your new car Kevin and don’t hesitate to download the acceleration boost.(assuming you haven’t already purchased the “performance model “) 😂

[@babylon5mh]

It's great that you are able to take the time out of your obviously busy schedule to do videos like this. Fantastic video, thank you. I'm wondering what difference there would be between the Model 3 heatpump as opposed to the none heatpump version. I'm going to have a Model 3 but I'm not sure if the extra cost between the 2 is really worth it. Keep up the good work, Richard. It's greatly appreciated 👍 👏

[@kevinjohnson3738]

This is an awesome video! And looks like the Model Y was able to go about 10 miles or 5% further once it first displayed 0%.

[@Jaw0lf]

Impressive test and great that you had at least 10 miles extra from reaching zero. They were at a slower pace, but the amount of warnings should put everyones mind at rest for running an EV. To be fair if anyone had an EV with V2L you would have been easy to recharge! Also impressed that the larger Model Y did so well.

[@pareshpanchal91]

Good test! Could you maybe explain in a future video about towing? You mentioned that you're not supposed to tow the car?

[@MrHereWeGoYo]

Great video. Very cool to see what actually happens.

[@EldestClock]

Great video, thanks for all the time & effort making these! Any chance you could do an info video on what you had to do to get it going again? Some people might not know where the 12volt is even or how to open the doors / charge flap without power

With our crappy Hyundai 12V, we always carry a booster pack, saved us on our trip to London last week, to wake up the 12V system! Interesting how quick your 12V went down. Another great real world test.

[@spikebmth]

Just an update, Hyundai replaced our 12V battery, after 18 months, as one of cells was damaged so not holding voltage. ICE car batteries not really suitable for EVs

[@lorenzobruschettini]

[@sydjaguar]

This channel is soon becoming the best source of EV knowledge! Probably open your charge flap before it dies.

[@RSEV]

Even if open flap it needs 12v to lock cable and initiate a charge. Which is silly.

[@BlogTesla]

Thanks, interesting, well done 👍

[@markb159]

Really fascinating video and useful info... Amuses me how often you're at superchargers we use lol. Thou I'm impressed with your driving efficiency... I never seem to be under 300KWh 🤔 - mine is the older model 3 with 30k miles

[@contactluke80]

For those who are curious re the SR LFP - I have a 60kwh model and did this test in Australia, outside temp was 19 Celsius and dry, 18” Michelin Pilot Sport 4 at 45 PSI with aero covers. I managed 248miles (400 km) from 100% - 0%. Driving speed averaged 60mph over the journey. Also worth noting that the LFP M3 isn’t that much lighter than the LR due to the heavier battery chemistry - I think there is only 100kg difference now on the bigger 60Kwh SR M3

[@RSEV]

Great info. Love the LFP. How much did car say was used kWh ?

[@contactluke80]

@@RSEV consumption was 144wh / km - I think that’s about 230wh / mile over the 400kms -57kWh used. I should note that my car is a late 2021 - known over here as a unicorn model as it had the previous SR+ rear motor combined with the new ~60kWh battery. The 2022 M3 SR have the slightly less sprightly motor - and may be even more efficient.

[@tpn3561]

@@contactluke80 I have the same LFP single motor model Y here in China and so far the overall average consumption is 112Wh/km. Once, driving carefully, I run for over 450 km and it still indicated 5% battery left (I didn't dare go below that). Usually I have over 430 km with a full charge, driving normally, but for me it's all in the never ending city (ground + elevated roads with speed limit of 90 or 110 km/h). If I charge at home after 10pm a full charge would cost me less than 3 usd, so here it's very convenient to drive electric :)

[@Backjack31]

Is your battery 100% SOH?

[@tpn3561]

@@Backjack31 when it was brand new I could charge it up to 432 km "real range". Now, after 9 months I can charge it to 428 km. So it seems like a 1% loss, which they say it's normal in the first year (then the degradation slows down).

Great test. Killing the battery was very good information. Thanks!
