Tesla Model Y Outperforms Moose Test Significantly
Tesla's Model Y Long Range Shines in Moose Test
Tesla's Model Y Long Range (Model Y L) has made a significant mark in the automotive world, passing the challenging moose test with six adults onboard at an impressive speed of 72 mph (116 km/h). This achievement is a testament to Tesla's engineering excellence, particularly for family-oriented vehicles.
The moose test, originating in Sweden during the 1970s, simulates an emergency swerve to avoid a sudden obstacle. It is widely used to evaluate a vehicle's ability to handle emergency maneuvers. Many SUVs struggle to complete the moose test cleanly at speeds above 50 mph (80km/h), but the Model Y L has proven to be an exception.
Tesla's adaptive suspension system, refined steering, and chassis tuning are credited for the Model Y L's impressive performance in the moose test. During sharp evasive movements, the electronic dampers quickly adjust to keep the SUV balanced, prioritising ride comfort on long trips to smooth out bumps and isolate passengers from vibrations.
Currently, the Model Y L is exclusively sold in China. However, it is expected to be available globally, with the next expansion expected to be in Europe and Asia-Pacific markets, supplied by Giga Shanghai. The production timeline for the Model Y L in North America is set for late 2026.
CEO Elon Musk has suggested that the Model Y L may never make its way to North America, as he believes autonomous driving is just around the corner. In the meantime, the Model Y L offers an impressive blend of performance, comfort, and safety, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a reliable and capable SUV.
The Model Y L is a stretched version of Tesla's best-selling crossover, with additional features such as three rows of seating, upgraded climate controls, a revamped audio system, and continuously variable dampers. It is worth noting that the Model S, Model Y, and Model 3 have all passed the moose test, further emphasising Tesla's commitment to safety and performance.
In conclusion, the Tesla Model Y Long Range's successful completion of the moose test at high speeds is a significant milestone for the automaker, demonstrating its dedication to engineering excellence and family-oriented vehicles. As it expands to global markets, the Model Y L is set to challenge the status quo and redefine what a family SUV can achieve.
