"Extreme Speed Anxiety" is a column dedicated to testing the high-speed endurance performance of electric vehicles. We do not measure the photoelectric, do not measure the full power, we only measure the high-speed battery life. We will run a lap against the speed limit on the Second Ring Road in Chengdu to see the high-speed endurance performance of electric vehicles in the range of 80% to 30%, as well as energy consumption and power replenishment time.
How can this test be without Tesla! It is said that Tesla's endurance is seriously "reverse" false, the real mileage may exceed the apparent mileage, in the end is not the case, we found a very representative Tesla model - Model Y Performance high-performance all-wheel drive version, to see what kind of endurance it has in the high-speed cruise state.
Use the charging time before departure to introduce some of the design features of the Model Y Performance, so that you can identify the high-performance version and the normal version at a glance. In fact, the front part of the car is the most difficult to distinguish, because the front of the high-performance version and the long-endurance version and the rear-drive version are almost the same.
The difference is mainly on the side, although the long endurance version and the high performance version have all-black wheels, but the long endurance version and the rear drive version use 19-inch wheels, while the high-performance version is equipped with a 21-inch oversized wheel hub with a whirlwind hub cover and is equipped with red brake calipers.
The difference between the tail is also obvious, one is that the high-performance version has a carbon fiber spoiler wing on the tail, and the other is that the "MODEL Y" logo on the tail of the high-performance version has a red decorative strip - that is a symbol of low-key and passion.
Some people will say that these external features can be installed, but there are two details that the long-endurance version cannot be modified, the first is that the high-performance version of the body is one centimeter lower; the second is that the high-performance version of the rear window uses double-layer laminated glass, while the long-endurance version does not have this design.
After the Model Y Performance was charged to 80%, the Extreme Anxiety Challenge officially began! However, the actual situation of this test is somewhat unexpected, the reason is that the car is Tesla's official test drive, Tesla official through many demonstrations found that some test drivers can not reasonably control the vehicle there are safety hazards, so the vehicle speed is limited to 100km / h, and can not be unlocked.
Therefore, our test is somewhat different from the preset, but in the spirit of the scientific exploration of vehicle capabilities, and to provide you with objective data reference, we will test at a speed of 100 km/h throughout the process.
Next, we talk about its interior design while testing.
Everyone has always had mixed reviews for the workmanship of Tesla's interior, and many people feel that its minimalist interior does not look high-grade enough. But on this P version of the Model Y, these materials are basically used by traditional luxury brands, each door panel above a piece of fur, near the door handle is wrapped in leather materials, storage compartment and woven fabric; the steering wheel is thick and leather feel good, like me, easy to sweat palms, also feel quite comfortable; the material near the central control is not ambiguous, even the mobile phone wireless charging panel and the storage box in the middle have fleece fabrics. Putting aside the two words luxury, objectively speaking, it is still very solid in terms of workmanship materials.
Some small details are also worth mentioning. When you get in the car and step on the brake pedal, the memory seat and steering wheel automatically return to position, but that's not the point. The point is that it's easier to get out of the car — the moment you unfasten your seat belt, the seat begins to move backwards, unlike many cars, which usually move the seat back the moment the door is opened.
In addition, the door handle of the door button, the ergonomic design is very good, so that later many domestic new energy brands are learning this detail.
It is said that Marvel is a detail maniac, especially in the Iron Man series is full of a lot of details that can be carefully chewed by film critics, and it seems that Musk, the "Iron Man of Silicon Valley", is also very detail-oriented.
Of course, any industrial product can not be without a slot point, in my personal experience, one of the slot points: the rearview mirror is too small, of course, the design of Tesla should be for two considerations, the first is to reduce wind noise, and the second is through the visualization of the central large screen, which can make up for the lack of rear vision.
Slot two: usually the vehicle's cup holder will have a finite positioner, but Tesla's cup holder does not have a limiter, the beverage bottle is easy to shake inside, plus the car accelerates violently, as long as a sharp acceleration bottle shakes more severely.
In fact, the model Y interior space design is not large, but the panoramic canopy on the roof has always been a plus, Tesla as far as possible to enlarge the area of this canopy, the internal visual effect is full, and the filtering of sunlight is also just right.
Although the Model Y and The Model 3 have the same seats, after being raised by about ten centimeters, the whole person's sitting posture will be significantly improved - if the Model 3 is like sitting on the floor, then the Model Y can actually sit up.
Tesla's set of car machine system has been used by people who have said good, mainly because the visualization is more comprehensive. The left side of the screen displays the status of the vehicle and the real-time traffic conditions around it, with some warning tones, the owner can quickly judge the surrounding situation and improve safety. The right side uses the map as the main interface, and the other functions are the operation of the menu.
We can see that the 2022 model has been fully equipped with AMD Ryzen, which is many times stronger than the previous Intel Astro Boy computing power, and the time to open some applications is greatly shortened, such as the B station we often look at, which only takes about 4 seconds to open.
Let's talk about what it's like to drive a Model Y Performance. This dual motor combination can give you very, very strong power, the actual 0 ~ 100km/ h acceleration, this car can do 3.7 seconds.
Of course, this power system for the driver's adaptation is still very good, lightly tap the accelerator, the starting acceleration is quite light, about the feeling of a 1.5T fuel car, slightly deep on the electric door, WOW, 2.0T; and then step, 3.0T! Continue deep into the Bigfoot electric gate, 4.0T! When the electric door is fully open, it enters another state, which can be described as madness! It is no exaggeration to say that it is a feeling of vertigo, and the fastest roller coaster in the playground is nothing more than this feeling.
When you get used to this kind of strong vertigo and accompany your girlfriend to the playground for a roller coaster ride later, that is not a piece of cake. Of course, in reality, you also have the right to make your girlfriend scream at any time, just need the electric door to open, it is so simple and rude.
Driving this Model Y Performance, I imagine participating in the Zero Four Straight Acceleration Race, competing with those million-level supercars, and the first to lead in the initial stage must be it. As for the latter paragraph? After all, others spend real money and silver, and if you can't do it in the later stage, it will really be disgraceful.
Four hundred thousand, with the courage of a million-dollar luxury car PK, is given by Model Y Performance.
And the performance of the Model Y Performance chassis suspension, to be honest, is in one word: upside down! No way, with a heavy battery pack, the suspension must be adjusted very hard, and there is a pair of 21-inch big feet, the tire is thin, the air is full, that is, the vibration is infinitely transmitted, of course, it will not be like Eason Chan singing, your backpack makes me walk so slowly, but this set of motors and battery packs make me smile so brightly. There is speed, and other problems can not be problems.
In addition, I found that the Model Y Performance in some ditches or speed bumps, the rear wheel still has obvious bounces, I think Tesla engineers have considered a lot of problems, theoretically add air suspension can solve, you see the extreme Krypton 001 is not doing this, but after all, the cost of air suspension is there, Model Y Performance such a narrow body, can you add air bags?
Finally, after actually running 214 kilometers, the SOC of the Tesla Model Y high-performance version came to 30%, and through our observation, we found that the range of the table display was used up by 235 kilometers, which is equivalent to a 93% discount on the mileage, of course, this is done in the case of 100km/h.
If we run at the speed of 120 km/h that we envision, we expect that the power consumption will be high, and the actual endurance ratio will decrease. But then again, Tesla does have two brushes in battery management, which is more reassuring than an electric car that is 7-8% off at every turn.
summary:
From the final power consumption results can be seen that the model Y Performance equipped with dual motors has not broken 20 degrees of high-speed energy consumption, Tesla's battery management capabilities are first-class in the industry, and the 78.4-degree battery can have a range of 615 kilometers, which is worth learning from all other new energy vehicle companies.
But!
Just the day before we recorded the video, Tesla once again announced the price increase of the whole series, the current price of the Model Y Performance has come to more than 400,000, the previous price of 387,900 has gone, the friends who ordered the car before laughed, but the follow-up friends who want to book the car are estimated to think about it. Want to play performance and take care of some home use, can you accept the current price of model Y Performance?
