what's up guys how are y'all doing today today i want to talk about the model
x range increase that's actually going to be going on the 2021 models
let's talk all about it and before we get started like this video subscribe
if you haven't already as like really helps out the channel and let's begin
so the model x range right now as it states on the website is 351 miles which is basically
class leading it's the top of the class in suvs it's literally the longest range suv you can buy
in the world electric suv you can buy in the world today now with this newer update
that's coming out apparently all these models should be getting it the range will increase
to 371 miles which is about a 30 mile increase i don't think there was something special that
occurred with the model x just recently i think this was a gradual improvement that tesla has done
remember a while back the model s range was about 370 miles
and then they bumped it up to about 390 and then elon said on the earnings call that the epa left
the door open and that drained some battery overnight and because of that the range is
actually lower than it actually is so they redid the test the epa and they got a range of 402 miles
on the model s now you take that same difference apply to the model x and that's basically where
you get your efficiency from so i'm pretty sure the epa didn't test the model x during that time
period and that's probably why the range has been relatively stagnant for a while and now
pretty much suddenly we're getting a massive range increase of well 30 miles and wait a second okay
i don't know why i'm just drinking coffee right here but like this is kind of like the morning
i said 30 miles of range increase it's not 30 371 versus 351 that's only 20 mile range increase so i
don't know i probably got confused with the model x or sorry the s and that's probably why i said
30 but yeah um i hope you get the point i'm not actually stupid did i blow my cover i don't know
so so yeah hopefully you get the point it's actually 20 miles not 30. i don't know why i
said that so yeah continuing on obviously you can argue well that's almost 400 miles on a actual
like an suv using the same battery pack that they had beforehand it's like well yeah and the fact
that this is an suv getting almost 400 miles of range on one charge where basically that was the
range of the model s less than a year ago this is quite impressive i'm not gonna lie this is
actually something very impressive that tesla has been able to accomplish but i don't think this has
been due to any recent changes of the model x i'm pretty sure it's just been a gradual increase of
efficiencies and just manufacturing and the way they introduce stuff just over time and the epa
just tested it now and they're like oh wow we got a range of 371 miles that's going to say 51.
and so that makes it an even longer range model x by the way just a few years ago i think about a
couple of years ago the model s using the same 100 kilowatt battery pack kilowatt hour battery pack
had a range of 335 miles that was during the time the model 3 came out and the model 3 at the time
had a range of about 310 now it has a range of about 320. tesla has been able to do so much with
just a 100 kilowatt hour battery pack and improve the efficiencies by a lot i mean think about it
you basically got 70 more miles of range using the same battery pack and just by motor efficiencies
and other efficiencies involved with it likely with software and the hardware combined and that's
what you get with the vertical integration because you're making the software and the hardware so
the motors and the actual controllers for the motors and whatever the software that's actually
controlling how the power is being delivered you can really tweak that to a point where this
car or just any car can have a pretty big range increase and and this is just great news for
basically ev industry this separates the model x from the model y the model y is much cheaper
but for example if you have the same range around 330 miles for the model x which was
the case about a few years ago a couple years ago maybe then there wouldn't be that much of
a difference if you bought the model y or the model x but now tesla is differentiating between
the flagship vehicles so the model s and x versus the three and y the more cheaper more affordable
vehicles for the mass market and this just goes to show how well tesla can actually improve if
they get on something getting 70 more miles out of any battery pack of any size at the time is like a
very big achievement and these aren't long ranges it's not like you're getting 800 miles of charge
and now you're getting 870 it's not like a smaller percentage this is a pretty big percentage range
increase over time using the same battery pack if i were to say which cars would get this i would
likely be very wrong but obviously if you buy new model x today which actually the delivery time it
says is five to nine weeks likely because they're shipping them to europe and uh overseas and such
because that's what tesla actually does in the beginning of the quarter they always produce all
the cars for overseas and then they ship them there and then by the end of the quarter those
cars that you reach and get delivered so basically whatever cars they produce basically get delivered
or as many cars as they produce the most maximum amount of cars actually get delivered to customers
just to get their numbers up which is obviously a smart move by tesla because otherwise they would
have like 200 000 cars produced in the quarter and only like a hundred thousand delivered which
you you don't want that so like i was saying the new york cars definitely have the range
increase if you buy one new today you definitely have the range increase you have 371 miles which
is actually very impressive considering you even have the 250 kilowatt charging obviously it won't
be 1 000 miles an hour of charging as it is in the model 3 and why because this is just a more
thirsty vehicle it just consumes more energy but it'll still be a lot 100 kilowatts for this holy
that is very impressive and i just think that some older cars for example a few months old
will also get this update maybe in a software or something like that so i don't know maybe you can
tell me if you have a model x let me know in the comments down below if you've gotten a software
update that increased your range up to say close to this figure maybe have a previous model and the
range went up from say 330 miles to 350 i don't know let me know what what happens if there's an
update because right now kind of clueless on this all right so before i end here i just want to talk
about the model s and how it might impact the model s well i think that if this range increase
is actually due to some other reasons rather than all the changes that have happened in the past
like with the model s just carried over to the model x if there are new changes maybe software
improvements i do feel like the range on a model s will definitely increase so the percentage
increase is about just under six percent you apply that to the model s you get a range of just over
425 miles i don't know if tesla is actually going to do this but just for the jokes and whatever
sakes why not if you if the range does increase by such and such amount why not keep the range of the
model s and just under report it slightly just to get the magical number of 420 miles on one charge
do i think tesla will do this honestly i have no clue i hope they do because it's only a five mile
drop as if in 400 miles you're actually gonna feel the five mile drop anyways but you know it
can just show that on the car that it's actually 425 but then you can charge it up to i don't know
i don't know how they're gonna do it but whatever they'll probably figure it out and hopefully they
would because that would be hilarious to have a model s their flagship vehicle have their
top of the line range of 420 miles that's just illuminati confirmed at this point okay that
rest assured so thank you for watching hope you enjoyed this one and let me know in the
comments down below what you guys think and are you excited for a 420 mile range model s
so thank you again and i'll talk to you next time peace
you
