The bigger the battery / more range you have, the less the heating efficiency impacts range.
That makes no sense. A bigger car also needs more heating. The ID buzz has a lot of glass to lose heat and a massive cabin to heat for example.The bigger the battery / more range you have, the less the heating efficiency impacts range.
He said the bigger the battery, not the bigger the car. While they're reasonably correlated, there are differences.That makes no sense. A bigger car also needs more heating. The ID buzz has a lot of glass to lose heat and a massive cabin to heat for example.
Still makes no sense. X kw motor draw and y kw heating. Doesn’t matter how big the battery is for this…He said the bigger the battery, not the bigger the car. While they're reasonably correlated, there are differences.
Glad they compared a heat pump and non HP version of the same car, its answered some of my range questions. I’m happy with a 230-250 range in winter.
I skipped straight to the table because I'd rather watch paint dry than see cars run out of fuel for 25 minutes but the interesting thing for me is the comparison between the two id7's. Just a 14 mile difference for the sake of having a heat pump. On the one hand that is a noticeable difference but in the context of being over 100 miles short of the claimed range it's really not that huge of a difference.
Perhaps I missed something in the video that quantified that.

i just watched this ..... i guess it is no wonder toyota rubbish EVs............ Maybe no one thought to tell them was its not that EVs are over priced and rubbish......... just that THEIR EVs are over priced and rubbishCarWow has done a few videos like this over the years, always liked watching them. I'm glad WhatCar is joining in.
No consequences that I'm aware of. Service items would just be dealt with at a Tesla Service Centre should the need arise under warranty. The warranty is on the car and drivetrain, not an owner.My question, that for obvious reasons the salesperson skirted around was... If I bought a 2022 Model Y from a different dealer (non Tesla) are there any consequences of that regarding Tesla's 4 year warranty? As the Tesla does not need a full service to ensure the warranty remains valid I thought if anything went wrong despite not buying from a Tesla dealer Tesla would still need to sort it out?
Any thoughts?
How many miles on it? You're comparing a brand new Tesla to how a used one might be. The new one hasn't had time for those American parts to start falling off yetI own a Rav4 hybrid and I have been happy with it for the last 18 months. However, I took a new Tesla M3 out for a test drive today and I really liked it. Its the first full EV I have driven and I enjoyed it far more than I expected. The driving experience was very good, the build quality was solid and in my opinion on par with the BMW's I have owned.
However, the Model Y would be my preference and new is out of my budget (a new Model 3 is at the maximum end of my budget but I need the MY space)

Model Y Long Range Nissan dealer 2022 with 26,000 miles on it. You raise some fair points too.How many miles on it? You're comparing a brand new Tesla to how a used one might be. The new one hasn't had time for those American parts to start falling off yet.
Personally I wouldn't touch a used Tesla or probably any EV unless can verify it's history, how charged etc. If 20k miles on it for example and it's been mostly supercharged then it will have battery degradation. The 8 year battery warranty doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a brand new battery pack either if it were to fail later.
How come it's being sold by a non-Tesla dealer?
I'd rather try to afford new or try to find a one owner car for sale privately where you can interrogate the owner a bit. Or at least from Tesla themselves

Those cars would be listed as an insurance write off in their history if they still do this.Buy from a reputable dealer as if it has been in a big accident then Tesla may have locked it out of their network if they were not involved in ensuring it is safe.
This. Their sales MO is to sell new cars, they don’t even push used sales from their own centres.Teslas obviously wants you to buy from them but absolutely no way they could deny you warranty if you bought privately or from another dealer
Nearly all used Tesla’s are sold by 3rd party dealers.How come it's being sold by a non-Tesla dealer?
Tesla staff know next to nothing about their used inventory and they’ll certainly not know how it’s been charged. They are no different to any other dealer in that regard. Most of it you’ll buy blind off the internet.I'd rather try to afford new or try to find a one owner car for sale privately where you can interrogate the owner a bit.

It will probably be fine, the easiest way to check the general health of the battery is check how many miles it thinks it has left and gross it up to 100% or better get them to charge it to 100%.Model Y Long Range Nissan dealer 2022 with 26,000 miles on it. You raise some fair points too.

The only reason I considered the Y is the boot space due to having a dog and a caravan based in Yorkshire so I take a load of stuff with me when we go away.Any reason why you’d want the Y over the 3?
I’ve owned both and other than the bigger boot and an extra inch of leg room and rear seat height, there’s not much in it. The range of the standard Model 3 is only about 30 miles less than the Model Y long range.
