The battery capacity of the Model 3 Long Range version is 75kWh. The Model 3 is a mid-size pure electric sedan under Tesla, with dimensions of 4694mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1443mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2875mm. More information about the Model 3 is as follows: 1. The Model 3 comes in three configurations: Standard Range Rear-Wheel Drive, Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, and Performance All-Wheel Drive. 2. The Rear-Wheel Drive version is a single-motor model, with the motor positioned at the rear. 3. The Rear-Wheel Drive version's motor has a maximum power of 202kW and a maximum torque of 404Nm.

I've been driving a Tesla Model 3 for quite some time, and battery capacity is a crucial factor. The Standard Range version has about 50 kWh, while the Long Range version offers 75 kWh. For daily commuting, the smaller capacity version is sufficient—it can go over 400 kilometers on a single charge, and I only need to charge once or twice a week for city driving. However, the Long Range version is better suited for long-distance trips. Although it's slightly heavier due to the larger capacity, it provides more peace of mind during actual driving. Charging at home using a regular outlet takes about seven to eight hours, but it’s much faster at a Supercharger station—just 30 minutes to go from empty to 80%. In terms of battery lifespan, avoiding extreme temperatures is key, and Tesla’s warranty is quite solid. Overall, capacity affects usage frequency and maintenance costs, so choosing which version to get depends on individual needs.
