2 Answers
Tesla Model 3 requires 50 kWh for the base version and 75 kWh for the long-range version to fully charge. Below are the detailed specifications of the Tesla Model 3: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Model 3 is a mid-size electric vehicle with a wheelbase of 2875 mm, and its length, width, and height are 4694 mm, 1850 mm, and 1443 mm, respectively. 2. Powertrain: The Model 3 is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. The all-wheel drive version features dual motors, while the rear-wheel drive version has a single motor. The all-wheel drive Model 3 has a combined motor power of 340 kW and a combined torque of 639 Nm. The rear-wheel drive version has a maximum motor power of 202 kW and a maximum torque of 404 Nm. 3. Battery: The Model 3 uses ternary lithium batteries across all variants, which offer higher energy density and are lighter in weight.
As a long-term Tesla Model 3 owner, daily charging has become routine. My version is the Long Range model with a battery capacity of approximately 75 kWh. A full charge requires about 70-80 kWh due to 10-15% energy loss during charging. Using a standard home charger, it takes overnight to fully charge, costing only 50-60 RMB at 0.8 RMB per kWh - significantly cheaper than refueling a gas car. Superchargers are faster, providing 50% charge in half an hour, though slightly more expensive. A tip: charging during off-peak nighttime hours saves money and is more eco-friendly. The Model 3's range estimates are accurate, though air conditioning increases consumption. For daily commutes, weekly charging suffices. Overall, the convenience and cost-efficiency of EVs greatly enhance the driving experience.
