Getting Maximum Range
Driving Tips to Maximize Range
You can maximize your driving range using
the same driving habits that you use to
conserve fuel in a gasoline-powered vehicle. In
addition to driving habits, energy
consumption depends on environmental
conditions (such as exceptionally cold or hot
weather and driving on roads with steep hills).
To get the maximum range from a charge:
• Slow down your driving and avoid
frequent and rapid acceleration.
• If safe to do so, modulate the accelerator
pedal instead of using the brake pedal
when gradually slowing down. Whenever
Model Y is moving and you are not
pressing the accelerator pedal,
regenerative braking slows down Model Y
and feeds surplus energy back to the
Battery (see Regenerative Braking on
page 69).
• Set Stopping Mode to HOLD to gain the
benefit of regenerative braking at low
driving speeds (see Stopping Mode on
page 69).
• Keep tires at the recommended inflation
pressures (see Tire Care and Maintenance
on page 167).
• Lighten your load by removing any
unnecessary cargo.
• Fully raise all windows.
• Limit the use of resources such as heating,
lights, and air conditioning. Using seat
heaters to keep warm is more ecient
than heating the cabin.
The power meter on the touchscreen and the
Energy app provides feedback on energy
usage. With this feedback, you can become
familiar with how driving habits and
environmental conditions impact how much
energy Model Y is using.
Energy App
Use the Energy app to view real-time and
projected energy usage. Choose from two
types of charts:
•
Consumption: display how much energy
Model Y has consumed over the past 5, 15
or 30 miles (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 5, 15 or 30 miles (10, 25 or 50 km) of
energy consumption to provide a more
accurate projected range.
• Trip: 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.
Range Assurance
Model Y helps protect you against running out
of energy. Model Y continuously monitors its
energy level and proximity to known charging
locations.
Touch the map's charging icon to
toggle between displaying
superchargers only, and displaying
all chargers, including destination
chargers, and visited chargers.
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.
