• Features such as Sentry Mode and Cabin
Overheat Protection can impact range.
Disable features when not needed.
• To prevent an excessive amount of energy
consumption while the vehicle is idle,
keep the vehicle plugged in when not in
use.
•
Minimize the use of DC chargers (such as
Superchargers) for optimal Battery
health.
It is normal for estimated range to decrease
slightly over the
first few months before
leveling o. Over time, you may see a gradual,
but natural, decrease in range at full charge –
this depends on factors such as
Supercharging regularly or the mileage and
age of the Battery. Your
Model Y will inform
you in the unlikely event a hardware issue is
causing excessive Battery or range
degradation.
The power meter on the touchscreen
provides feedback on energy usage.
You can also display the Energy app to view
real-time and projected energy usage (see
Energy App on page 80). With this
feedback, you can become familiar with how
driving habits and environmental conditions
impact how much energy Model Y is using.
Range Assurance
The driving range displayed in Model Y is
based on estimated remaining battery energy
and EPA-rated consumption. It does not
account for your personal driving patterns or
external conditions. The displayed range on
the
touchscreen may decrease faster than the
actual distance driven.
To view estimated
range based on your recent energy
consumption, open the Energy app to display
the graph.
Model Y helps protect you against running
out of energy. Your vehicle continuously
monitors its energy level and proximity to
known charging locations.
Touch
Chargers in the
Navigation search bar to
toggle between types of
chargers, including
Superchargers and
destination charging sites.
When you are at risk of driving beyond the
range of known charging locations, the
touchscreen displays a message giving you
the opportunity to display a list of charging
locations that are within range. When you
select a charging location from the list, Model
Y provides navigation instructions and the
turn-by-turn direction list displays the
predicted amount of energy that will remain
when you arrive at the charging destination.
Trip Planner routes you through Supercharger
locations to minimize the amount of time you
spend charging and driving. To enable, touch
Controls > Navigation > Trip Planner (see Trip
Planner on page 151).
Energy App
The Energy app provides a visual
representation of your vehicle's real-time and
projected energy usage. To use the Energy
app, navigate to
Application Launcher >
Energy on the touchscreen. Choose from two
types of charts:
•
Consumption: Display how much energy
Model Y has consumed over the past 10,
25 or 50 km.
Touch Instant Range or Average Range to
adjust the projected range estimation.
Instant Range uses only the latest few
data points to estimate the projected
range, whereas Average Range uses the
past
10, 25 or 50 km of energy
consumption to provide a more accurate
projected range.
• Trip: You can monitor the amount of
energy being used while navigating to a
destination. You can track actual usage
against the initial prediction. The green
line represents the actual usage whereas
the gray line represents predicted usage.
To change the zoom level, touch the
zoom icon located in the top right corner
of the chart.
NOTE: The Trip chart displays energy usage
only if you are currently navigating to a
destination.
