Video Summary
This review focuses on the new Juniper Tesla Model Y dual motor long-range, priced at around $50,000. It has an 84 kWh battery pack. The video features a 10% charging challenge at a V3 Supercharger, testing real-world road trip scenarios.The reviewer simulated arriving at a charging station with 10% battery, then charged for 15 minutes while using climate control. It was found that when the car was fully preconditioned and in service mode, charging speeds ramped up to 255kW. Seven seconds was the time to plug in. By driving down the highway at 80mph, the reviewer used 34.5 kWh and was able to reach 126.3 miles and finished the drive at a 9% charge level. Auto-pilot did cause issues, sometimes reading off-ramp signs and dropping speeds to 45mph. With climate control in use, the battery temperature reaches a maximum of 58C. Finally, the reviewer stated that driving that length is equivalent to driving between one and a half and two hours.
Ultimately, the reviewer concluded that 126.3 miles and the Model Y's charging speeds during this challenge were impressive for a crossover SUV, and this particular Tesla model was on track to be one of the better vehicles tested for this kind of scenario. The reviewer also noted that other models perform better than Tesla's with Taycan leading the way.
