Welcome to Nextmove.
We've prepared something for you.
S3XY is Elon's vision when it comes to naming the various Tesla models.
We have of course put them in the right order.
Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y
That is our line up for our Autobahn test.
at maximum speed 130 kph
we want to find out which one goes furthest and how big are differences in consumption.
And we have brought comparable models to the start, that means they are all performance models from current production
Driven by experienced pilots.
Subscribe to our channel and enjoy the video.
Before going out on the road we have a look at the cars and also the drivers.
We have here the Tesla Model S Raven with the longest range.
The pilot is Hans, he drove this Model S  in our test against the Porsche Taycan.
This is his third Tesla. Mister 'careful driver'.
He is  able to move this car extremely economically.
The second vehicle is the Tesla Model 3 Performance.
Our pilot is the Frank, a nextmover. He drove 50,000 km  / 30.000 mi per year on the highway in the last years.
The Model 3 has become his company car for some time now.
Tesla Model X Raven Performance, ordered on the first day when the new Raven models became available.
Nicole and Michael are at the start with 50,000 km  / 30,000 mi experience with this vehicle.
Tesla Model Y, US Import, Performance, all wheel drive, long-range,
I drive it myself, let's go.
So there we are on the road and the weather is perfect.
A few words about the test setup.
So we're doing 130 kph / 80 mph based on the speedo.
I am the lead car with the Model Y
and back there they are all lined up - 
what a view in the rear view mirror.
We drive 130kph/80 mph, about 2 kph / 0.6 mph speedo deviation.
We will reduce speed at speed limits, construction sites or due to traffic .
'Stefan what speed limit did you set?”'
First question...
I put 130kph / 80 mph, do you need to drive faster? 
In that case your speedo is wrong.
Than you should drive 132 kph or 133kph to keep the same distance.
'Okay I have to put it to 132 kph!'
So Model 3 must set it 2 kph higher.
So these are the questions that come along on the way
We reset the on-board computer at the last red light.
The temperature ist set to 22 degrees Celsius. The air conditioning is on automatic.
We'll engange autopilot when the road is clear, we'll go to manual if traffic is heavy.
The two vehicles with air suspension, namely Model S and X are set to low chassis.
Range mode is activated if the vehicle actually has one.
We drive in chill mode.
This way it is a bit easier to drive economically with these high performance electric vehicles.
And we are now driving on the highway, about 100 km /62 mi to the east and we then turn around and drive back.
I have to look at the car transporters a bit, what kind of cars they have loaded like this. Hyundai Kona, electric-e, but no ID.3
We are close to Hannover on the A2 and are now driving to Wolfburg or one exit earlier.
But of course we also show you the GPS profile later, so you can see how fast we drove at which sections.
Now let's take a look at the tyre size of the vehicles.
Model S has 19 inches, the small ones so to speak.
Model 3 with performance size series has 20 inches.
Model X with performance size series has 22 inches
Model Y with performance size series has 21 inches.
They are all summer tyres with standard tyre pressure
and the weather is currently 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit) with a little bit of sunshine.
we have a glas roof.
the roof is cold - most likely due to wind and the good isolation.
But here on the dashboard I can clearly feel the radiant heat.
The air conditioning is also working and consumes a little bit of electricity.
In our videos we always have some beautiful exterior shots of our vehicles.
We shot them outside of the test cycle, so that we can give you some nice pictures.
Of course we also want to put the cars in the scene,
But you can't overtake another car quickly during the test just for the video,
because it affects the consumption values.
That's why we always do it before or after the actual test.
So we are now here at the turning point and stand here for two to three minutes, but in a moment it will continue.
I stopped the GPS, I start it again when I get on the motorway.
We'll check the other cars for intermediate values.
Tesla Model S please, what is your average consumption:
19,6 kWh/100 km
Tesla Model 3 please:
18.8 kWh/100 km
Tesla Model X please:
24.3 kWh/100 km
And I have exactly 20 kWh/100 km average consumption.
As soon as the traffic is free, we roll back onto the highway.
So we are on the way back and the consumption is going up a little bit.
Probably there is a little bit of wind, the trees are standing still, so it is not very strong.
But you notice it when you see a windmill, then you can see in which direction they turn.
Furthermore, you can hear it a little bit in the wind noises.
It is a bit louder now than in the opposite direction.
And I am curious to see which values we will get at the end with these 4 cars.
Traffic is low, we only have to brake seldomly, and there were only very few speed limits.
And we don't drive so close to each other either to avoid slip stream,
usually there is a distance of about 200 metres between the cars and visual contact to the next one.
We were asked one question in the comments under the videos with the Model Y,
namely whether you can hear the heat pump.
I can give the all-clear -  I did not hear it explicitly.
Of course all cars have a fan or compressor running and you can hear something, but it is not that I find it annoying.
But we didn't test the car in the cold and this morning we started at 14 degrees and left the heating running.
There was nothing to hear.
So we are done with our test drive. 225 km  / 140 mi in total.
Of course we still correct the values, because we drove from the same place and the on-board computer zeroed the values.
This means tyre tread depth can have an influence on the displayed consumption because it is based on a different driven distance.
We will calculate this and make an analysis in the studio.
We are now charging at the Tesla supercharger in Lauenau.
That means three charging, the Model Y charges with US-Chademo adapter over there.
We still have something to do today, because we have a second shooting date with all four cars.
The video will be on this channel soon.
But now let's have a look at which car would have driven how far today.
Welcome to the nextmove studio for the evaluation.
One thing in advance: About 60% of our viewers are not yet subscribers.

then subscribe to our channel free of charge.
The next SEXY check will be coming soon and will be - I'll say it this way - dynamic and exciting.
Activate the bell so you won't miss when the next video goes online.
Now the test: The actual range of EVs is not as relevant in everyday life as one might think at first.
At least when the daily driving distance is not close to the range limit.
The vast majority of EV owners only use the maximum range on a few days a year; on the way to a holiday, for example.
After a few months of driving experience, you don't look at the range indicator as often.
At some point, you know that you will always get there and how to get your power on the road.
And the public charging network is continuously expanded.
But: With new cars it is of course particularly interesting to see how far they drive.
After all, the range is an indicator of the technical development status of the cars in terms of drive, efficiency of auxiliary consumers and air resistance.
Last but not least, electricity consumption also has a direct influence on operating costs.
For many people, the real range is an important criterion when choosing between different models.
An isolated consumption test with only one vehicle is only of limited use for this purpose.
Why is this so?
This is due to the high efficiency of the electric motor compared to the combustion engine.
The electric motor is so efficient that the external factors are much more important in terms of consumption than with the combustion engine.
With the same EV on the same route, you can have significantly different fuel consumption the following day, simply because the external circumstances are different.
Whenever possible we therefore test in direct comparison, preferably of course vehicles that are in competition with each other.
But if there is no other car in the fleet available, then as in this test, a Porsche Taycan Turbo against a Tesla Model 3.
Why does it make sense anyway?
With the help of the reference value of the Model 3, whose consumption many people can classify,
one can then also classify the consumption of the Porsche Taycan.
That is why we at nextmove are big fans of parallel driving comparisons.
Even if the logistical and time expenditure for such tests is considerably higher.
But for you we are happy to drive the extra mile.
But now to the analysis of our SEXY range comparison.
The target travel speed and thus maximum speed was 130 kph, if traffic conditions permit.
Here you can see the GPS travel profile with speed history and altitude profile.
Our achieved GPS average was 124 kph / 77 mph  in the first part and 116 kph / 72 mph after the turnaround.
So the average speed was 120 kph / 75 mph and thus close to reality on a German motorway.
Altogether 225 km /140 mi were driven.
The on-board computer values of the 4 vehicles deviate comparatively little from each other.
The deviation between minimum and maximum value is 2.1 km  / 1.3 mi and thus less than 1% of the driven distance.
Therefore no correction was made in the data at first.
So let us first look at the consumption of the 4 cars according to the board computer display:
Model 3 18.5 kWh per 100 km.
Model S 19.4
Model Y 19.9
and Model X 24.1 kWh per 100km.
Under the given test conditions, the following ranges result:
1st place: Tesla Model S with 463 km /288 mi.
2nd place: tatata Tesla Model Y with 368 
km / 229 mi.
3rd place: Tesla Model X with 364 km /226 mi.
and place 4: Tesla Model 3 with 363 km / 225.
Who'd have thought?
Of course, the ranking 2 to 4 makes little sense, because actually all three of them belong on second rank.
Because the deviations are only minor.
And the Model S, thanks to its larger battery and good aerodynamics, just drives 100km / 60 mi further.
How did we determine these ranges?
The consumption values of the Tesla on-board computers are somtimes doubted in the comments below our videos.
In this test only Tesla were compared with each other.
Since we do not know the removable capacity of the batteries and the cars were not completely empty, we chose the following calculation.
Our test track was 225 km / 140 mi long and we took the used percentages in the charge state as basis for the range calculation.
All cars started with a charge level of around 90%.
The Model S consumed 49 percentage points on the driven distance.
The other three Tesla showed between 61 and 62% decrease in charge level.
From our point of view, this is a good basis for the calculation,
because driving empty on the motorway is dangerous and therefore rightly not allowed in Germany.
But why did the Model Y score so well?
The battery is probably the same as in the Model 3 but the frontal area and thus the air resistance is higher.
We calculate a little bit more at this point:
We have extrapolated the dischargable capacity from the percentages of the charge level and the consumption shown in the on-board computer.
And this brings us closer to solving the mystery around the good performance of the Model Y
because the car was new and the other three already had 16, 36 and 53,000 km on the speedometer and thus also on the battery.
Because the more charging cycles a battery gets, 
the lower the capacity that can be taken out.
The possible withdrawals in the test were 89.8kWh for Model S
87.6 kWh for Model X,
73.3kWh for Model Y
and 67.2kWh for Model 3.
Especially the value for the Model 3 may seem low to some people.
But the value is in line with the experience from the nextmove fleet.
We currently have around 50 Tesla in the fleet, including 15 Model 3's.
The value was also confirmed by other Model 3 owners with similar mileage,
but please note that this is according to the on-board computer and not read out via diagnostic tools.
To determine the real range for new vehicles, we have corrected three factors:
1. Correcting the consumption to an identical driving distance, even if there was only a 1% deviation.
2. adjusting the battery capacity to a new vehicle estimate.
For the two Raven 92kWh and for Model 3 and Y 74kWh each can be used.
3. adjustment of the wheel sizes.
The Model S in the test was not on the 21 inch performance rims as shown, but on 19 inch.
So we correct the consumption of the Model S by 5% upwards.
The value corresponds to the EPA measurement results for Model S performance models.
Correcting the other cars downwards is not possible, because for some only the driven wheel size is allowed in the papers.
This correction leads to the following result:
The Model S still number one with 457km / 284 mi.
The Model 3 jumps from fourth place to  second place with 400 km / 249 mi.
The Model X remains on third place
with 384 km / 239 mi.
And the Model Y on place 4 with 371 km / 231 mi.
Our SEXY-Check can be summarized as follows:
A new model Y performance at 130 km/h cruising speed in summer lasts about 370 km.
The Model X goes about 15 km / 9 mi further.
The Model 3 again 15 km / 9 mi more than the Model X.
And the Model S goes another 60 km / 37 mi further and manages 460 km / 286 mi on a single charge.
Our conclusion: The Model Y impressively confirms its highway capability.
Starting mid 2021, the Model Y will roll off the production line at Gigafactory 4 in Grünheide, Germany.
At the same time, various crossover SUVs from established manufacturers will be launched in this vehicle class in 2021.
From Germany, for example, the VW ID4 and the sister models of Skoda and Audi,
as well as the BMW iX3, will be entering the market.
Asian manufacturers also want to capture market shares with the Nissan Ariya and the Hyundai 45.
All these cars will have to be measured by their actual motorway range, especially in Germany.
And with regards to fast-charging on the autobahn, the competition has to improve considerably
to match the comfort and availability level of the Tesla Supercharger network.
Competition stimulates business and it's getting really exciting.
We will test this extensively in comparative drives and report about it.
Gladly also together with you here on the channel.
