    There are electric vehicles far better and cheaper than the Model Y currently available. I wonder why it’s the best selling one. Perhaps because Tesla offers fewer models, making other manufacturers’ stats look diluted?

    Oh, it’s the same misleading statistic from last month, guess it gets headlines and clicks

    Leading the pack is Tesla‘s Model Y, which captured a 7.7% market share with 869 new registrations

      The amount of power those screens use is peanuts compared to the drive train.

      I can chill in my car with AC, screens, and charge my steam deck for hours and my battery only goes down a couple %.

      My car uses 1KW in that state. That’s as precise as it shows me, so I’m guessing it’s rounded up. Taking it at face value, with a 65KWh battery it would take 65 hours to drain completely (I like easy math).

        Interesting. How much does that go up when you’re driving and all those autonomous aids and scanners kick in? Not trolling - geniunely curious?

          I wouldn’t really be able to tell with the information it provides. But that 1KW figure does factor in the camera array since I can access it idle.
