Tesla Tesla He hasn't wasted any time getting started, posting a video to YouTube last Sunday comparing the two models' respective power output levels, using an interesting method. Since most everything is on lockdown as the novel coronavirus outbreak continues to affect the US, including dynamometer facilities, Brooks had to rely on some unconventional tech to extract the power output data from the car itself in real time. Like the Model 3, the Tesla Model Y doesn't appear to have a diagnostics port readily available in the cabin, so Brooks used a CANBUS interceptor to send a wired signal to a Bluetooth device that could transmit real-time data straight to his phone. Then, using a mobile app called Scan My Tesla, he was able to look at parameters like accelerator position, brake pedal position, battery state of charge, and of course, front and rear drive motor power.
Tesla Tesla Tesla So what's the verdict? According to Brooks's data, the Model Y Performance puts out up to 33 horsepower more than the Model 3 Performance at its peak: 18 more horsepower to the front motor, and 15 more to the rear. That's despite using the same platform with the same powertrain and, as far as we can tell, identical battery packs. At first, that may seem a little unfair to some Tesla Model 3 buyers. But then, given that the Model Y is a bigger, heavier vehicle with a larger frontal area to encounter wind resistance, perhaps the Y needs the extra help.

Tesla Model Y Makes More Power Than Tesla Model 3
Apr. 03, 2020 2:45 PM ET by Aaron Brzozowski Video / 2 Comments How much power does the Tesla Model Y Performance really make? At long last, Tesla has an affordably priced electric crossover on the market. The Tesla Model Y officially entered production in January, rolling off the line in Fremont alongside the Model 3 sedan on which it's based, and began shipping out to early customers last month. Like the 3, it's compact in size, and the lineup is topped by a high-output "Performance" model with all-wheel drive and ludicrously quick 0-to-60 acceleration. Brooks Weisblat of DragTimes is one of a lucky few who has not only already received his Tesla Model Y, but who owns both a Model Y Performance and a Model 3 Performance. That puts him in a unique position to independently evaluate both cars side-by-side.Tesla Tesla He hasn't wasted any time getting started, posting a video to YouTube last Sunday comparing the two models' respective power output levels, using an interesting method.
