Title: Model Y now cheaper than the typical new car for the first time as Tesla touts its record 4 miles/kWh efficiency
Post by: Redaktion on April 25, 2023, 17:38:46
"Greater efficiency than a Prius, performance of a Porsche" is the tagline for Tesla's electric vehicles, and the bestselling Model Y has now become cheaper than the average new vehicle in the US even before the federal tax credits. Tesla also touts its efficiency, saying that the Model Y can go for the record 4 miles per kWh of battery capacity.

Lol in my Kia e Niro I get 4.8 kW per miles average.  And if I drive nice I can easy get over 5 kW per miles. So where that get Tesla statement,  or Kia is not selling over there maybe?

In your reply, you said your Kia e Niro get 4.8 to 5 kW per mile.  Did you mean 4.8 to 5 kWH, or did you intend to say 4.8 to 5 miles per kWH?  If you did, accurately indicate 4.8 to 5.0 kWH per mile, then a 100 kWH would only take you 20 miles, so I'm guessing you meant to say mile per kWH.  If it were in fact 4.8 to 5.0 km per kWH (km and not Miles), it would not be up to Tesla standards.  Might want check your units to be sure which side of the line you are actually on.  - Thanks!

Looking at EPA and WLTP, the Model Y seems to be more efficient than the eNiro.

If I put my seat down will your vehicle fit into my Y's trunk?
