What is the actual range of a Tesla in kilometers?
2 Answers
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.
