In one of the latest tests, Out of Spec Reviews<\/em>\u2019 Kyle Conner checks a brand new, 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance in a stock wheel configuration.<\/p>\n

As usual, the car was tested at a constant speed of 70 mph (113 km\/h). Kyle Conner assumed that it has about an 82 kWh battery pack, out of which about 3 kWh is a buffer, so he ran the test basically to a point at which the car’s display showed 79 kWh consumed (there could be a few “electrons”<\/em> still available, but it’s not expected that a typical driver would normally go so low on state-of-charge).<\/p>\n

The result of the trip is 280 miles (451 km)<\/strong>, including the last miles covered around the fast charging station at lower speeds. The average energy consumption displayed by the car was 282 Wh\/mile (175 Wh\/km)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The achieved range happens to be lower than the 315 miles (507 km) EPA Combined range value<\/a> (by 35 miles or 11%), but we always advise to check also the EPA Highway range rating, which appears to be more appropriate for the comparison.<\/p>\n

In this case, the 2022 Tesla Model 3<\/a> Performance has an EPA Highway range of 299 miles (481 km), so the difference is 19 miles (31 km) or 6.3%.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the range of 280 miles (451 km) is one of the best results in the 70 mph range test so far. For reference, a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD tested some time ago, noted 310 miles (499 km)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are now eager to see the Tesla Model Y range tests, especially the all-new version, which is powered by the 4680-type battery cells.<\/p>\n

Results in brief (according to the car’s display):<\/p>\n
