Tesla Model Y

Yea look I'd no plans on changing but I'd be coming up two years and not having to pay interest would be a sweetener.

BYD remains having various items as physical buttons in center console and stalks on steering column and buttons on the steering wheel though.

Buttons are still superior functions for specific tasks regardless of brand.

What kind of consumption per 100km are people getting in the model y these days?

PCP on the ID.3 Tour is up this year. We will probably keep it as it’s a brilliant car but obviously looking around too.

It’s a 260 km return trip to Dublin from here. Any car we get needs to be able to do that summer and winter with say 30 km extra for driving around and a buffer. Tour does it easily. Not sure a rwd model y would. No superchargers on route. Basic model 3 probably would but no indicator stalks. Huge turn off. Also v reluctant to go Tesla. 0% finance a big draw all the same.

we do 30000 km a year so efficiency very important.

Yes you can easily get 230 out of a full charge even on the basic Model Y RWD ..winter or summer !

Yes it was thanks 🙊

100% agree. It was something that was on my mind too and is just not a concern now at all

Tesla rep just said it's 0% alright so mistake is on the finance Ireland end.

Regarding Range and my experience today.

231 MY LR on 20” wheels.

travelled limerick to Dublin yesterday morning 210 km , temp 2-6 C, battery 100%. Weather sunny but cold and no wind. Kept to 110kph on M7 and 100kph on N7/M50. Consumption = 19kwh/100km. Battery at 48% on arrival

back down today and set home on nav, very windy weather gusting to gale from SW in Dublin . Nav told me i would be short 2% to get to birdhill SC approx 175km away with battery at 47%.

Nav also advised that strong headwind would use more energy.

ignored and set destination to birdhill SC. Nav tells me to keep speed below 105kph to reach destination. Around Naas , Nav advised I wasn’t going to reach BIrdhill SC and advised to charge.

I went to J14 for a top up and charged from 28% to 49% (extortionate price for 19kwh). Drove home (145km) at 120kph.

Arrived home with 7% remaining . Consumption was 24kph/100km for last stint. HeadWind was very strong all the way down . Temp was 12 C

so driving into a gale force head wind and keeping to 120kph gave me an effective range of just 340km .

its my second EV and do the Dublin trip a lot and i know a headwind affects consumption greatly at 120kph.

for context, I’ve driven the full limerick-Dublin 420km round trip during the summer driving at 110kph with no charge required.

one of the first trip i did after collecting car was dub- limerick 210km in horrendous conditions , headwind, heavy rain. While charging at sandyford SC car told me i would need 62% to get home, because of incoming storm from the South west. Lovely day in Dublin and didnt believe it as only used 48% battery on way upto Dublin. So i charged to 55% . Was lucky to reach Birdhill SC.

so needless to say i trust the car on charging levels

PS , wipers are back to their worst on autopilot today, rain was very heavy but wipers weren’t responding , went to manual operation.

i was prepared to go as slow as 100kph to get to birdhill but i reckon i would have need to go to 80-90 kph and I wasn’t doing that on a motorway.

Baaed on the my “effective “ speed of 137kph (120kph + 17th headwind), 24kwh/100km wasn’t too bad.

J14 200kw charger only gave me 74kw, but was only there for 20 mins , but 68c per unit is nuts.

Get her a set of S3XY buttons. Simple to install the controller and loads of stuff you can set the buttons to do, as well as some functions not available on the screen.

I have one set to 2 indicator flash to say thanks to truckers that move over to let me by. One is set to adjust regen. One for the glovebox. I have six buttons.

Easily doable ..efficiency is dependent on multiple factors driving style, acceleration, outside weather and temperature but you should get well in excess of what you mention from a full charge.. If you drive at 140km per hour maybe not! Try to be reassured by the comments from multiple users when you asked similar question 2 days ago
