Great YouTube Video Model Y winter range with heat pump…

[Nklem]

205 miles long range, 160 miles standard. With heat pump. A loss of 40% from EPA. At about 20-28F. He also notes Rates for EPA of 328 and only got 260 on highway range tests in summer.

Tesla is well known for overstating range. It would seem that Ford underestimates its range.

But everyone (car companies that is) seems to avoid talking about the cold weather range hit…

GTs aren't seeing great range so far.

Heat pump are only efficient up to a certain temp. If it's really cold (< 40 F) the PTC heater will need to kick in.

My GT is currently showing close to the equivalent of 200 miles / 100% on the GOM (at 90% I had 180). I seem to be averaging 2.6 to 2.7 m/kwh per my driving data, which is about 230 miles actual range at 100%, so the GOM seems to be reading about 15% low. I did reset my driving data a couple of weeks ago.

Since you came out of a 4X into the GT, do you think their efficiencies are the same?

It's even worse than that. Model Y owners are suffering complete cabin heat failure when temps drop into the single digits.

I believe in both cases you're seeing EPA not factory estimates.
