Tesla Model 3 Range City Vs Highway – Real Testing Done
Range Estimates:
The range estimates for the Tesla Model 3 are based on the EPA's testing methods, which simulate both city and highway driving conditions.
City Driving:
Title 1During city driving, the Tesla Model 3 typically achieves its maximum range, with estimates ranging from 250 to 358 miles, depending on the model and battery configuration.
Highway Driving:
During highway driving, the range of the Model 3 is typically lower due to increased air resistance at higher speeds. Estimates range from 220 to 315 miles, depending on the model and battery configuration.
Speed:
Driving at higher speeds on the highway can have a significant impact on the range of the Model 3. The faster you drive, the more energy the vehicle requires to overcome air resistance, reducing the overall range.
Temperature:
Extreme temperatures can affect the range of the Model 3, particularly in colder climates where the use of heating can drain the battery faster.
Regenerative Braking:
The Model 3 uses regenerative braking to help extend its range, particularly in stop-and-go city driving, where it can recover energy during braking.
Battery Health:
The age and health of the Model 3's battery can also affect its range, with older batteries typically having less capacity than newer ones.
Charging Infrastructure:
The availability of charging infrastructure can also affect the range of the Model 3, particularly on long highway drives where frequent charging may be necessary.
