Tela Model Y RWD vs Long Range Supercharger battle ( summer 35c ) 

I would say that you should tell your brother not to be upset about his Tesla LR. He's the winner in reality. For the following reason : > starting the journey at 100% each of you, the LR will drive farther than the SR. By about 70 km farther (if I remember correct, in winter the difference was 50 km when you did the test). Driving this distance at 130 km/h takes about 32 minutes. So, the 16 minutes between the two charging from 0 to 100% aren't a problem. The LR will always be ahead of the SR by at least 15 minutes. Now, lets say the two will always stop after about 2 hours of driving (about 250 km). The SR at 130 km/h is doing about 190 Wh/km. The LR would be around 200 Wh/km. So, the SR would need 47,5 kWh while the LR would need 50 kWh to charge for the next leg. In % this means the SR would need to charge to 80% while the LR would need to charge to 64%. In real life, the SR would need to charge up to 90% while the LR would need to charge to 74% (buffer 10%). The SR charging to 90% means more time than the LR charging to 74%. So, in the end, the SR is always slower than the LR, in real life. In the video above, yes, we can always say what we want. A great video nonetheless. 👏

Thank you for the testing. You guys are really my reference for when it comes to comparing RWD vs AWD battery performance!

What's the purple led strip you have on the dash?

1) Regular batteries you dont charge to 100% (but you can do so on LFP) 3) If you want to compare the RWD vs the AWD (since they have LFP vs NMC) - you should charge the LFP to 100% and stop charging the NMC at same km charged (is it 80%?), in this way you do a fair comparison. 4) When doing long travels, most likely you charge 10% to 80% on NMC and 10% to 100% on LFP, so maybe this is the way you should compare it. It makes the most sence, since charging 80% to 100% on NMC takes the same time as 10% to 80%. (more or less). And you have enough range to reach next supercharger.

Hi guys. Really like your videos but shouldn’t the test have been how long it takes the Tesla Model Y Long Range to reach 80% as it’s a larger battery… can’t remember if it’s 75kWh for the LR… versus reaching 100% on the Tesla Model Y RWD LFP battery… can’t remember if that’s a 60kWh battery. If the LR reaches 80% before the RWD reaches 100% and has more range then it’s the winner 🤪despite the RWD maxing out at 150kWh compared to 250kWh on the LR. Having other Tesla’s charging in the bays next to you meant the challenge took twice as long you’d be sharing power compared to not having to share power if you had empty stalls on both sides but nice video none the less.

The only interesting number is: How many km can a car charge per time. I assume the LR model is upfront.

It looks that supercharger is splitting its power between your two cars. So 250 / 2 = 125Kw and thats almost what you both get. Because at that low state of charge LR is able to get almost 250Kw and that is not happening here.
