How fast is the Model Y Juniper at 1% SOC?

We tested the acceleration of the Model Y Juniper from 0-100 km/h to see how it performs and what the maximum discharge is during different states of charge.

Does the available discharge decrease as the battery percentage drops? How does the car perform once it reaches 1% SOC? We are going to answer all of these questions in this article.

But if you want to see the full test in action, watch the video below:

Test Design

We conducted six consecutive launches from 0-100 km/h at 96%, 79%, 60%, 41%, 19%, and 1% SOC at zero elevation. To ensure more accurate measures and timing, we used Race Box Pro, which measures various vehicle performance stats, such as acceleration, lap, and drag times. It is equipped with the latest generation of GPS technology that provides accuracy to a hundredth of a second and precise positioning.

For this test, we used our dual motor Model Y Juniper Long Range. Since this car is part of the Launch Series, it comes with over 400 horsepower, thanks to the boost. However, if you have the regular Model Y Juniper, you can still get that extra 50 horsepower by purchasing it from the Tesla app for 2,000 euros. We also had the 20’ Michelin Pilot Sport EV summer tires. 

The Launches

Before we began our test, we made sure the car was set in Sport Mode and that the battery was warmed up above 30℃. Here is a breakdown of each launch from 0-100 km/h:

- Launch 1

Time: 4.21 seconds
SOC: 96%
Max Discharge: 399.9 kW
Max Reached Power: 390.7 kW
Battery Temp: 34.0℃

- Launch 2

Time: 4.20 seconds
SOC: 79%
Max Discharge: 401.6 kW
Max Reached Power: 389.4 kW
Battery Temp: 50.3℃

- Launch 3

Time: 4.31 seconds
SOC: 60%
Max Discharge: 377.0 kW
Max Reached Power: 372.0 kW
Battery Temp: 48.8℃

- Launch 4

Time: 4.43 seconds
SOC: 41%
Max Discharge: 352.9 kW
Max Reached Power: 347.2 kW
Battery Temp: 49.8℃

- Launch 5

Time: 4.55 seconds
SOC: 19%
Max Discharge: 331.5 kW
Max Reached Power: 327.5 kW
Battery Temp: 37.3℃

- Launch 6

Time: 4.99 seconds
SOC: 1%
Max Discharge: 246.5 kW
Max Reached Power: 266.4 kW
Battery Temp: 51.3℃

Conclusion

The final results from our test revealed that there isn’t a significant difference in performance between 80% and 100% SOC. But as the battery percentage drops, so do the available discharge and the maximum power output.  

In conclusion, if you want to tap into your car’s full potential when it comes to acceleration and performance, make sure to charge the battery anywhere between 80% and 100%.
