Tesla Model Y: Range Assurance
The driving range displayed in Model Y is an estimate of the remaining battery energy based on EPA-rated consumption. It may not account for your personal driving patterns or external conditions. The displayed range on the instrument panel may decrease faster than the actual distance driven.
NOTE: Rated driving range is based on EPA-rated consumption in the United States, which deviates from tests advertised and performed in other jurisdictions.
Model Y helps protect you against running out of energy. Your vehicle continuously monitors its energy level and proximity to known charging locations.
Touch Chargers in the Navigation
search
bar to toggle between types of chargers,
including Superchargers and destination
charging sites.
When you are at risk of driving beyond the range of known charging locations, the touchscreen displays a message giving you the opportunity to display a list of charging locations that are within range. When you select a charging location from the list, Model Y provides navigation instructions and the turn-by-turn direction list displays the predicted amount of energy that will remain when you arrive at the charging destination.
Trip Planner (if available in your market region) routes you through Supercharger locations to minimize the amount of time you spend charging and driving. To enable, touch Controls > Navigation > Trip Planner (see Trip Planner).
Energy App
The Energy app provides a visual representation of your vehicle's real-time and projected energy usage. To use the Energy app, navigate to Application Launcher > Energy on the touchscreen. Choose from two types of charts:
- Consumption: Display how much energy Model Y has consumed over the past
5, 15 or 30 miles (10, 25 or 50 km).
Touch Instant Range or Average Range to adjust the projected range estimation. Instant Range uses only the latest few data points to estimate the projected range, whereas Average Range uses the past 5, 15 or 30 miles (10, 25 or 50 km) of energy consumption to provide a more accurate projected range. - Trip: You can monitor the amount of energy being used while navigating to a destination. You can track actual usage against the initial prediction. The green line represents the actual usage whereas the gray line represents predicted usage. To change the zoom level, touch the zoom icon located in the top right corner of the chart.
NOTE: The Trip chart displays energy usage only if you are currently navigating to a destination.

Installing Child Safety Seats
There are two general methods used to install child
safety seats:
Seat belt retained - these seats are secured using the
vehicle's seat belts.
LATCH retained - these seats attach to anchor bars
built into the vehicle's second row outboard seats.
