2024 Model Y RWD (US Spec) Is A Charging Beast! - 0-100% & 10-80% Full Charge Analysis 

So turns out this video is no longer relevant... Tesla will apparently be offering unlocks for existing RWD and now they have a LR RWD. x.com/elonmusk/status/1786586974108909815?s=46&t=qT5Mqn6Y80K93tBN1ZDU0Q Graphs: x.com/brandenflasch/status/1786598518724898880?s=46&t=qT5Mqn6Y80K93tBN1ZDU0Q See info about the CAN data and how to interpret it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-op8azOazHZ4.htmlsi=JIMoe8doP8hbBZeN&t=248

LoL - 24hrs after this a new LR RWD is offered by Tesla... Keeping up with Tesla is mind blowing. Best offering IMO

They just added the long range Model Y RWD to the site and removed this vehicle. I guess they finally uncorked it?

Wow that is extremely impressive charging curve and will make quite a bit of difference with saving the 5K from the long range and still get the same 7,500 from the US government. Have a M3 rwd lfp and want a MY and this may fit the bill. 10-80 average at 132 KW is so fast in 22 minutes. Way faster than my m3 lfp. Thanks for letting us know about the battery capacity and actual miles in the video. Super informative. Thanks dude.

Play button: 11:15 Everything before is fluff

Seems to me the software lock achieves a few things. 1. Artificially keeps people from over charging extending battery life. 2. Allows Tesla to feed in excess capacity (if they want to) as the battery degrades over time maintaining use experience. 3. Like you discovered, allows for a decent charging curve with a relatively “weak” charging speed which has its own host of site and grid benefits if implemented broadly.

That is a cool way of getting better charging but most times there’s a buffer built in for a lot of cars, but maybe not as big to make a difference like this M-Y?

confused why this car cant charge at 250kW if it has the long range pack?

Despite being now a bit out of date, this is still relevant if only to showcase that Teslas can charge fast if they want them to. It’s shocking to contrast this Y’s charging performance vs Highland Model 3 that takes a mediocre 30 mins to go 10-80% and it does 100 miles in the Out of Spec 10% Challenge.

Thats pretty insane! Makes sense since elon just said its software capped and has another 60miles

What is the actual SOC at 60%? That’s what I daily charge mine as I have a short commute and want to keep the battery at around 50% for maximum battery health. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Edit: nvm. Just saw, so roughly at 60% it’s actually at around 53%. Appreciate the work!

Love the battery data. Our biggest hold out is insurance.

@12:00 There is still is a big benefit in going to a V3, for multiple reasons. -less chance of charging speeds being de-rated with sharing. -better cable cooling. -faster charger speeds.

This is a good video.

I really miss Model Y AWD Standard range, although charging curve was bad on 4680 but getting AWD was a big plus for someone living in NJ.

Awesome video, the charging performance is great!

Did you pay State Sales Tax upfront or was it rolled into your loan? Thanks

Since it's about 86% software limited, why not charge it to 95% to equate to 80% of the long range pack?

I am not sure your age but you look young as well as the team at out of spec, the reason I bring this up is your 100 mile charger hop is not what older people or most want to think about doing so if the goal is to get people comfortable with EV's to move to this more sustainable future then I would suggest showing people how they can do trips with one or two charges max over a 600 mile trip not this hopping chargers every 100 miles. this its why a lot of people are waiting for battery technology to reach 500 to 600 mile range because most people just want to be charged at home and get to their destination with minimal stops. It's absolutely possible to do close to 600 miles with one stop when you leave you home with a full charge. This is what most people want and believe me I understand thats not your style or out of spec style but you really need to consider your age and I know thats difficult because you cant make yourself older so you dont know how you will think when you are older. You are doing a disservice to getting people to switch to EV's when you are saying stop driving every 100 or so miles to charge. I understand it may not be your mission to get people to switch but it also isn't making EV's look like better technology when you put it in the context of having to stop to charge every 100 or so miles.

Oh this is a new model y long range RWD ...u already got this release? Wow

It’s total BS that Tesla Nerf, the max kilowatt. I can understand them, Ning, the usable capacity, but make it bad ass by letting people charge at a high Killock per hour farther throughout the curve! I guess, at least they have a liver to pull if they need to increase sales without increasing cost.

Any idea about the non-software limited charging curve? (It’s the only one I could buy right now.)

Brandon, thanks for this deep dive into charge times. This rear wheel model replaces miles almost twice as fast as all wheel model. Maybe the only downside is part of the pack is wasted by software limiting. You are carrying this pack weight, but not getting any range from it.

Too bad this car is now discontinued! Crazy

Don’t break the Supercharger! It may be out order for a long time. 😬

Thank you Branden for the great video. Does the 2024 model y dual motor performance have a different battery and, thus different charging curve?

2023 was 4680 70kwh. 2024 now 4680 60kwh. Now my Fremont RWD is 2170 with 80kwh? I am so confused… This is like overclocking my CPU except I have to pay for something I already own!

My e-Golf tops out at 4.1 V with 1:1:1 NCM cells.

Which app are u using to monitor

Awesome video. QUESTION: As of today (MAY 4), the standard range RWD is no longer available. Only a long range version. I assume this means the software limitation is removed on the 2170 battery pack, OR are they using the 4680 cells again??. If that is the case (2170 battery pack), will the charge curve for the long range battery pack for 10-80% charging be the same?

With the MY being software locked, does that mean we can theoretically charge it to 100% with little to no degredation?

Branden, does this have an LG or Panasonic battery? I nhave a December build 23 Y RWD. Does my car have the same battery?

This highlights just how bad those 4680's were, embarrassingly so.

I bought this one on purpose to save $2,000. Picking up on Friday.

The crosseyed vampire is back !!!!!

Have a MY LR order on hold and your videos are making me seriously consider the RWD with the data you provide. The Tesla sales rep I was working with told me they recommend to charge to 80% on the RWD which contradicts the real world test you performed - he has been “reassigned”. Appears the charge curve, ability to charge more often to 100% and a $1500 to $2000 upgrade at a future date (which makes the RWD a LR - minus the dual motors) makes the RWD a better buy. Leaning towards changing my order to the RWD as acceleration and AWD are not needed for us. Am I missing any other advantages to the RWD? Thanks for doing this, great video.

I’m not so sure that this is a simple cut and dry software locked LR battery. The LR AWD that Kyle had from hertz was showing 404v @ 100% SOC while this SR RWD is 402v. I’m almost speculating that this pack could have a different series configuration.

(Sorry if this has already been said). Wonder if Tesla will offer an upgrade for this vehicle to unleash more or all of the LR range while also providing greater range than the LR, AWD…

20 minutes is not a NORMAL stop. Most people take 5 minutes in and out from gas pumps. We need to call out these people claiming we hang around a gas station for 20 minutes everytime we pump gas. You do that and you get robbed in most major cities.

So any bets on if the LR RWD has the same charging curve as the long range (with is just fine, but not awesome)?

I don't know if I missed but the cell voltage went up to 4.2v regardless of the pack being limited to 85% SoC? I wonder if the car hides the energy below zero, instead of the top. I would still use caution to charge these vehicles to 100%.

Wife wanted white seats instead of long range. Sigh. Kinda wish i didnt compromise.

Thought 18 minutes to reach 80%. Why this slow?

I bought my Y three weeks ago so this pertains to me 🤔

As if there wasn't enough news coming out of Tesla this week, they just announced this software limited MY RWD is going to be replaced soon by a MY RWD LR. Yep I guess it's the same battery as the AWD MY but don't quote me on that. Also for $1500-2000 neighborhood they are going to let owners of the software limited MY unlock this feature pending some kind of approval.

I like, "Charge more, worry less." .... There was a study done of 1,000s of Teslas, and 2 groups were compared. One group was charged 90% oof the time, or more, with Fast Charging and one group 90%, or more, with slow charging. The difference in battery degradation after 100,000 miles was about 1%. Diddly squat!

Re Tesla now offering a LR RWD, I just checked the Tesla web site. Although the $3k savings for the LR RWD is nice, I'm surprised the range increase is only 10 miles. You'd think with the weight savings and reduced power consumption, the LR RWD would do better on range. The LR RWD gives up a lot of performance as well compared to the AWD (but the RWD is probably quick enough for most people). Model Y LR RWD - 320 mi $44,990 6.5 sec 0-60 Model Y LR AWD - 310 mi $47,990 4.8 sec 0-60

The other cells are ghost cells

What not mentioned in this video is the lithium battery pack in this car STILL degrades even if you follow teslas recommended 80% max charge to maintain the battery at optimal performance. Plenty of guys on RU-vid have proven this. It's the chemistry that's the problem we need to move away from the chemistry!

Unsubscribing because this channel is all about charging and charging stations. This is not interesting to me.
