Tesla’s refreshed new Model Y is proving to be more than just a facelift, with the EPA officially confirming a range boost that exceeds the company’s own estimates. The Long Range AWD variant now achieves 327 miles on a single charge, marking a notable 5.14% improvement over its predecessor.
The numbers tell an interesting story. While Tesla’s website currently advertises 320 miles for the Model Y Long Range AWD, the EPA’s validation of 327 miles suggests the company took a conservative approach with its initial estimates.
Tesla’s latest engineering walkthrough video showcases the thoughtful improvements made to the Model Y’s design. Tesla’s focus on efficiency extends to every component, particularly the newly developed tires. These aren’t just any rubber meets road story – they’re specifically engineered to reduce rolling resistance while improving handling characteristics and minimizing road noise.
Tesla says the tires on the new Model Y are the most efficient they’ve ever made.
The redesigned suspension system works in concert with these new tires, creating what Tesla claims is their most refined driving experience yet. The integration of these components demonstrates Tesla’s systematic approach to vehicle improvement, addressing both performance and comfort simultaneously.
In a practical twist, Tesla announced upcoming frunk accessories, including a custom portable cooler. This addition transforms the front trunk into a more versatile space, potentially appealing to outdoor enthusiasts and family-oriented buyers.
