The newly updated Tesla Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive now boasts up to 600km of range on a single charge.
That’s enough to make it from Singapore to Ipoh without a single whiff of charging cable. Unless, of course, you’re the sort who likes scenic detours and air-conditioning set to arctic.
Every Kilometre Counts
Tesla’s engineers didn’t just slap a bigger battery into the car and call it a day. By tweaking things like rolling resistance and shaving the drag coefficient down to 0.22cD, they’ve eked out an 8% improvement in range and somehow made the car 10% more efficient than the previous Tesla Model Y.
You now get the option to use either the regenerative braking of the electric motor or traditional mechanical brakes. And while that may sound like a “so what?” moment, it’s a big deal in terms of efficiency, stability, and most importantly, driver confidence.
Smarter Over Time
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Tesla without some of that OTA (Over-The-Air) magic. The new “set arrival energy” function adjusts your route automatically to factor in your battery’s remaining juice, adding or removing charging stops and fine-tuning durations.
Celebrate SG60 the Tesla Way
As part of the SG60 celebrations, Tesla’s offering fans a chance to win a weekend drive in a Model 3 or Model Y during National Day. Throw in goodies from Be Salon, Iki Concepts, and Hush Candle, and it’s shaping up to be quite the glam road trip.
Want to go full-on patriotic? Head down to Millenia Walk from 26 July to 3 August and craft your own National Day-themed Tesla keychain at their camping pop-up.
