Main features

Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor is a car that combines high technology and practicality. Its characteristics are focused on providing comfort, safety and economy. In this section, we will look at the main aspects of the model, from performance to safety parameters.

Engine and Performance

Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor is equipped with two electric motors that provide efficient all-wheel drive (AWD). This system allows the car not only to demonstrate high speed and dynamics, but also to remain stable in various road conditions, including rain, snow or slippery surfaces. Thanks to independent control of each axle, the vehicle adapts to road conditions in real time.

This solution makes the model suitable for a variety of driving styles: from calm city traffic to active motorway journeys. The power of the electric motors and instant torque provide fast acceleration even when fully loaded.

Main characteristics:

• Engine type: two electric motors (all-wheel drive, AWD)
• Total capacity: 378 kW (514 hp)
• Torque: 493 Nm
• Maximum speed: 217 km/h
• Acceleration 0-100 km/h: 5.0 seconds

Thanks to the low centre of gravity created by the battery located at the bottom of the car, the Tesla Model Y provides better handling and reduced roll during sharp turns.

Power reserve

The range is one of the strongest points of the Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor. Thanks to the high-capacity battery, the car can travel long distances without the need for frequent charging. This is especially appreciated by drivers who travel a lot or live in areas with limited access to charging stations.

In urban environments, the vehicle demonstrates maximum range thanks to its low average speed and active use of the energy recovery system. On the highway, however, efficiency decreases slightly due to higher speeds and fewer stops.

Main indicators of the power reserve

• City (warm weather): up to 615 km
• City (cold weather): up to 410 km
• Track (warm weather): up to 395 km
• Track (cold weather): up to 305 km
• Combined cycle (warm weather): up to 485 km
• Combined cycle (cold weather): up to 355 km

Battery efficiency is maintained by an energy management system that automatically adapts charge consumption to driving style and weather conditions.

Battery

The Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor battery is designed to provide durability and stable performance in all conditions. Thanks to the high-quality LG M48 lithium-ion cells, the car retains its efficiency even after prolonged use.

Key characteristics of the battery:

• Nominal capacity: 75.0 kWh
• Capacity used: 72.0 kWh
• Architecture: 400 В
• Element type: cylindrical (96s46p)
• The number of elements: 4416

The battery cooling system maintains the optimum temperature to ensure stable operation even in challenging conditions. For example, in hot weather, cooling is activated to prevent overheating, and on frosty days, the battery is preheated for better efficiency.

The battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 192,000 km, which confirms the durability and reliability of this system.

Charging

The Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor offers convenient charging options for a variety of usage scenarios. Owners can charge the car at home or at specialised charging stations, including the Tesla Supercharger network.

The main charging options:

Home exercise:

• Connector: Type 2
• Charging power: up to 11 kW
• Charging time (0-100%): 7 hours 45 minutes
• Charging speed: 55 km/h

Fast charging:

• Connector: CCS
• Maximum charging power: 250 kW
• Charging time (10-80%): 29 minutes
• Charging speed: 610 km/h

Tesla has also integrated a battery preheating function that automatically activates when planning a route to a charging station. This allows you to charge your car efficiently even in cold weather.

Energy consumption

The Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor is one of the most energy-efficient electric vehicles in its class. Energy consumption depends on operating conditions such as ambient temperature, driving speed and driving style.

In urban environments, energy efficiency is highest thanks to the energy recovery system, which converts kinetic energy from braking into additional charge for the battery. On motorway journeys, energy consumption increases due to the consistently high speed and fewer stops.

Main indicators of energy consumption:

• City (warm weather): 117 W/km
• City (cold weather): 176 W/km
• Track (warm weather): 182 W/km
• Track (cold weather): 236 W/km
• Combined cycle (warm weather): 148 W/km
• Combined cycle (cold weather): 203 W/km

The efficient operation of the battery is supported by a control system that adapts the charge usage to driving conditions. As a result, Tesla Model Y remains efficient even in difficult conditions, such as severe frost or active use of climate control.

Safety (Euro NCAP)

Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor has received high safety ratings from Euro NCAP, which confirms its compliance with the most stringent standards. The car provides the highest level of protection for both passengers and other road users.

Safety ratings by category:

• Protection of adult passengers: 97%
• Child protection: 87%
• Protection of vulnerable road users: 79%
• Driver assistance systems: 98%

The car is equipped with the following safety features:

• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB):
• Adaptive cruise control.
• Autopilot mode with the ability to update functions via the Internet.
• Multiple airbags to protect passengers in all seating positions.

Thanks to the use of active and passive safety technologies, Tesla Model Y provides a high level of protection in the event of an accident and helps to avoid emergencies.
