Tesla has updated its range estimates for the Model Y in the United States, reducing the Model Y Long Range from 330 miles to 310 miles, and the Model Y Performance from 303 miles to 285 miles, with no change in pricing. This adjustment comes as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented stricter testing guidelines to better reflect real-world driving conditions, including factors such as acceleration modes and ride height. The new EPA guidance, which affects all vehicle manufacturers, aims to provide more realistic estimates for new electric vehicle (EV) users. Tesla's range revision, which also includes lowering the range estimates for Model S and X, has been described as a 6% reduction, aligning with efforts to address complaints about range exaggeration and a Department of Justice (DOJ) probe. Additionally, Tesla has issued a recall in China over Autopilot concerns. The changes in the U.S. are part of a broader move by Tesla to comply with regulatory requirements, although the estimates remain unchanged in Canada.

The recent drop in EPA ranges of the Tesla's have something to do with the new averaging mandates to the range. You have to calculate the best and the worst case scenario with all driving modes! This means the performance variants especially lost range on paper. https://t.co/6L3erl72Q3

Yesterday, Tesla updated range estimates in the US for newly manufactured vehicles to comply with EPA guidance requiring stricter estimates that reflect real-world averages, considering acceleration modes and ride height. These changes impact all vehicle manufacturers.
Sounds like the range hasn’t actually changed on the latest Teslas. Just the EPA testing methodology Should hopefully be more realistic for new EV users
