Video Summary
Here is the summarized information from the YouTube video transcript, following the instructions:The Tesla Model Y Long Range Rear Wheel Drive is being reviewed. It's considered the best option for a family electric vehicle because of space and price. However, the reviewer prefers Model 3 for value, Model Y balances price and quality.
This is the Model Y with the longest test range, and a consumption test is planned. The video will explain the differences between the rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions.
The only difference between the long-range all-wheel drive and the long-range rear-wheel drive, is the absence of the front electric motor. This model shares the same battery, and the same suspension system, and hardware, though it is set up a little differently.
Compared to the all-wheel drive, this model is missing six speakers and one subwoofer, since the all-wheel drive has 15 speakers and a subwoofer and the RWD has nine speakers. The interior and exterior quality remains the same for either car.
The vehicle has 19-inch wheels and Hankook summer tires, known for low resistance, efficiency, economy, and comfort.
To unlock the car, approach with the phone. After a code, entry is typical. It has double glass on the front and rear. It's the same on both the previous versions, or this real wheel drive one. It has white interior.
The long-range rear-wheel drive costs 50,000 euros, 3000 euros less than all-wheel drive.
The added cost gets an extra motor and a better sound system, with a resulting better range. However, horsepower is lessened.
Horsepower is 304 on this model, which is 66 hp less than all-wheel drive.
0-100 km/h acceleration takes 5.6 seconds, compared to 4.8 seconds for all-wheel drive.
Both models have a top speed of 201 km/h.
The same 81 kWh NMC battery that will use 78.
Charging speed is also the same at 250-kilowatt DC.
With 20-inch rims, range is 622 kilometers.
The 19-inch wheels have a range of approximately 650 kilometers. If you use 19-inch rims on the all-wheel drive, the range is 586 kilometers, which is 54 kilometers less.
Consumption is 14.2 kWh that will vary on test.
The consumption for the all-wheel drive version is 15.3 kWh.
What the driver can feel while driving:
Steering is light during city driving, and heavy on the highway. This gives better control at higher speeds. The new model feels tighter than the prior model.
It has a great lane assist, excellent mirrors, same blindspot lights.
The driver feels more integrated with the car. The test car has ventilated seats for comfort. It's double pane insulated and double pane back to insulate the sound. As a recommendation, the speaker prefers it on reduce when driving on a highway to stay relaxed.
The new model y feels more compact on the road and the articulated dampers have improved in terms of refinement and quality.
Recommendations:
The choice between the long range rear or all wheel is about needs, so if a driver will be encountering snow and ice, that’s a valid reason to invest more and get the all wheel drive.
The Model Y gives a heightened camera and visibility. It includes Full Self Driving capabilities. The automated parking features also worked very well.
It’s not so different, the same basic suspension. This makes it more economical on consumption because it is more efficient.
What is missing in this vehicle model? A front engine or more speakers.
