EV expert Bjørn Nyland drove the Tesla Model Y Juniper 1,000 km in just 9h25m—matching diesel car performance.
In a recent endurance test, electric vehicle expert Bjørn Nyland drove the updated Tesla Model Y Long Range 1,000 kilometers in just nine hours and 25 minutes.
The result places the Model Y among the fastest and most efficient EVs he’s tested over that distance, matching or exceeding the performance of many diesel vehicles.
Nyland, known for his rigorous range and charging tests, started the run in Norway with a full 82 kWh battery, according to CarUp. The journey covered terrain across Norway and Sweden’s west coast. After just over two hours of driving, the vehicle still had more than 11% battery left, a performance Nyland called “pretty crazy.”
The first stop came after 330 km, just outside Gothenburg. Upon plugging in, the Tesla hit 225 kW of charging power. “That’s really okay,” Nyland remarked. Continuing through Halmstad and Falkenberg, he noted how quiet the car remained even on rough roads and praised its energy efficiency, saying, “It is insanely efficient.”
