I cite WLTP because it is a standardised way to test and compare range. It's not perfect, but it allows us to compare one vehicle to another. None of these cars will achieve WLTP in winter nor at high speed.
Also - the model Y is arguably newer than the Q6 - Juniper came out less than a year ago here!
I am in the same position as you though - generally charging stops on long drives are now driven by bladders rather than batteries.
Nobody hits the WLPT but Tesla are usually the furthest from it.
I know the Tesla had a refresh but its not updated the fundamentals to the same level, its more than an actual generation with its current tech levels and specs vs. the latest competition.
