Tesla Model-S and Model-X Long Range versions achieved ranges of 660KM and 575KM respectively in the national standard driving cycle test. During actual road driving, the vehicle's range will continuously adjust based on usage conditions. The actual mileage is also influenced by other factors such as vehicle configuration, battery usage duration and condition, driving habits and operations, environmental and climate conditions, etc. Charging efficiency: With faster charging speeds and a new efficient powertrain design, Model-S and Model-X can now achieve up to 200kW charging power at third-generation Superchargers and up to 145kW at second-generation Superchargers. These updates can improve customer charging efficiency by 50%.

I've been driving a Tesla Model 3 for quite some time and found the actual range is really not as much as the official claim. When the car was new, the official rated range was 480 km, but with daily commuting traffic jams, I can only average about 360 km before needing to charge. On highways, if driving above 120 km/h, it runs out of power after only around 320 km. It consumes even more electricity when the AC is turned up high or with heavier loads, often reducing range by 50-60 km. I recommend developing a habit of gently pressing the accelerator and using regenerative braking mode more to save some power. Always check charging stations before long trips and don't rely too much on the official numbers to avoid getting stranded on the road.

I often research electric vehicle data, and Tesla's actual range varies depending on conditions. Taking the Model Y as an example, the official range is 540 kilometers, but under real road conditions with high-speed driving or aggressive acceleration, it may only reach 420 kilometers. Temperature has a significant impact; in cold weather, battery efficiency drops by 20%, and power consumption increases faster. Onboard devices like navigation or heated seats also consume power, reducing the range by about 10%. I've recorded driving data, and the actual range usually reaches 80-90% of the nominal value. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and optimizing driving modes to extend the mileage.

I've taken my family on several trips with our Model S. The official 650 km range sounds impressive, but in reality, we need to recharge after driving just over 400 km during outings. Power consumption increases quickly when running the AC with kids and lots of luggage, especially noticeable on uphill sections where battery drains significantly. It's decent for city commuting, managing around 500 km, but long trips require advance planning of charging stops to avoid surprises. Safety first - never trust the perfect numbers, always leave some margin for unexpected situations.
