The AC unit is a heat pump. The issue is for heating. The model Y uses a heat pump to warm the cabin. The MME only uses it to cool the cabin.

They are not the panacea that you are making them out to be. There is a reason that the Model Y is the only Tesla model that has one.

I've seen Model Y range estimates vary on YouTube from 225-270 miles.

If real world testing comes out to show the MME Premium AWD ER does 270 miles on the freeway then Tesla fanboys heads will explode. They'll predictably retreat to arguing about charge times and charger networks.

Do you have a link for this video?

If you haven't been watching this thread:

check it out.

The Rapid Red E4X they just delivered to Norway has been undergoing test drives and reported the results of part of it. 300 miles without charging with 14% charge remaining. They weren't on freeways but major roads, average trip speed 48 mph (just like EPA highway test).

I can't wait to hear about the 70mph real world tests!

That is true. It will perform slightly less efficiently while cooling than the MME's ac unit but will be far more efficient than the MME's heater, (as long as the temp is above 25 degrees f).

At the LA Drive Electric event Darren Palmer just corrected himself on the range. The slide was the usual EPA target of 300 miles and he made a point to say OVER 300 miles of range.

Getting closer.

I came here to post that same thing. He specifically said OVER 300 miles of range. Sounds like they have hit the targets and may have slightly exceeded them.

I asked a follow up - When will the EPA figures be announced. He said the final testing is underway and they are confident the final number WILL BE OVER 300 MILES.

Did you specifically reference the ER AWD?

I believe the slide was referencing the ER, RWD which had a target of 300 miles. Hopefully, all of the variations will get a few miles bump in range.

301 miles is over 300 ;). It would be quite difficult to hit exactly 300.
