The other interesting fact, which many said before, is that the range is “the same” in practical terms, considering that I only charge till 70% every day, and my wife always charges at 100%.Yeah, the SR+ RWD is amazingly efficient - lighter weight without the extra drag of the front drivetrain results in superb efficiency even compared to the AWD Model 3, but add in even more weight and bigger frontal area of the Model Y and larger wheels/tires (more aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance) and you get to the ~25% reduction in energy consumption for a given distance.
I know, I know, I could charge up to 90%, but I really haven’t a need to do so. Therefore, for the battery health (on the MYLR) I keep it at 70%.
