Author: little magic

Tesla already Friday, March 13, the day began low-key delivery of its newest models Model Y.

alleged that the first lucky owners in Utah, after the delivery of more vehicles will be launched throughout the United States in the coming days.

in the fourth quarter 2019 earnings, Tesla announced Model Y will advance to begin shipping in March of this year, compared with the previously announced early fall delivery nearly half a year, but now it seems Tesla not only does not bounce, even the timely completion of its promises.

Of course, thanks to on-time delivery Model Y and its release supporting the owner’s manual, let us also understand more details of this car.

First, in this entry-level compact dimensions of length and breadth were SUV 4751/1921 (not including the outer mirror) / 1624mm, shaft distance of 2890mm.

Compared with vehicle size Model car platform sister 3 4694/1850 / 1443mm and 2875mm wheelbase, Model Y overall dimensions are about 10 percentage increased.

If the contrast fellow rival Ford Mach-E or even most of the other competitors at the same level, Model Y on vehicle size also account for a large advantage, which is the length and breadth dimensions are 4712/1881 / 1597mm.

However wheelbase, compared to the Mach-E wheelbase of 2972mm, Model Y will have less 82mm.

as well as to understand is that although the SUV in height 3 181mm higher than the Model, but it is actually not too much into the head space, because the Model Y posture than the Model 3 many high.

For those who are not easy to get in the car, it would be more convenient to get off on a higher SUV chassis number.

In addition toAlthough the Model Y is not equipped with the Model X “falcon wing” doors, but and large SUV Model X, as it is also available as an option 7, but if you select the version of the seven can only wait until 2021 before the delivery of the vehicle.

As for performance, this SUV priority introduced three versions, after a single motor drive models and two dual-motor all-wheel drive type.

wherein the drive plate WLTP mileage of 540 km, the maximum speed of 209km / h, 0-100km / h acceleration time of 5.8 seconds; dual-motor version of the model WLTP long life endurance is 505 km, the maximum speed 217km / h, 0-100km / h acceleration time 5.1 seconds.

High Performance version WLTP life of 480 kilometers, the maximum speed and acceleration respectively of one hundred kilometers 241km / h and 3.7 seconds.

As the lowest-priced standard life drive, which is WLTP life of 370 km that section to wait until next year before delivery.

In the configuration, Tesla compared to the previous several models, the latest Model Y has several bright spots. First of all, the vehicle comes standard with a wireless phone charging function.

Although this feature was first implemented in the Model 3, but not standard, only in the aftermarket installation.

Second, the vehicle trunk deliberate system, equipped with many useful features, such as convenient storage of bulky luggage “a key down” key a second row of seats, and a convenient external charging device 12 volt power when people travel, as long as the vehicle battery is 20% or more can be used when.

For security reasons, Model Y also added a rear door off the emergency release handle. This configuration Model 3 and similar.

prior to

Model 3 is equipped with an emergency release handle in the front row, but no back. But the new car here has been improved, the back door is also fitted with an emergencyEscape handle.

Again directly linked with energy efficiency advantage is that the new car is equipped with a heat pump, can significantly improve the efficiency of the car heating system. With the heat pump Model Y will be able to maintain a more stable mileage in the cold, which is before the Model 3 and most other electric cars can not do.

Because the heat exchanger is a heat pump, rather than the other resistance heating electric vehicles that generate heat directly, it can be transferred to heat or warm the motor cooling such liquid heat generated.

In summary it can make a car any heat generating element are not to be wasted. So the battery will no longer need to spend a lot of energy to heat the air conditioning heater, then the rest of the natural power to support electric cars run farther.

On the charging aspects, the new Tesla Model Y compatible with the latest V3 super charging system, which means that the vehicle can be obtained Mileage 1,600 km per hour.

Having the advantages disadvantages say that, first of all what this one might not for our domestic consumers, but in terms of foreign consumers will be some loss.

We all know that a large part of foreign friends like travel trailer, but the Model Y in the owner’s manual clearly states that it is not equipped with traction devices, so the trailer can not do, so do not think of using it dragged RV four play.

There is a problem truck Model Y, including drivers, passengers and cargo, including its overall load of only 433 kg.

Imagine if the ride is 5 adults, average weight per person is 86 kg, then the car occupants after all, its trunk can only carry three kilos of luggage, and more will be overweight affect vehicle performance and even security.

In contrast, Jaguar I-Pace five-seater load of 500 kg, while the load was 611 kg of Model X, Model Y so it seems not so much to force it.

Of course, for those consumers also optional 7You have to think about it, if it is 7 86 kg adult ride, may overweight too much.

In general, Model Y in addition to the load capacity weaker, it is still worth looking forward to a good car, compared to the same level of performance and configuration of its rivals still have the more obvious advantages.

only hope that the car in the domestic, do a “shoddy version of” low-level problems do not respect domestic consumers. [END]
