What is the range of a Tesla in kilometers?
3 Answers
Tesla's range is between 400 kilometers and 632 kilometers. In actual road driving, the vehicle's range will continuously adjust based on usage conditions. Other factors: The actual mileage of the vehicle will also be affected by other factors, such as vehicle configuration, battery usage duration and condition, driving habits and operations, environmental and climate conditions. Tesla: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company, primarily producing and selling electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage equipment. Its founder named the company "Tesla" in honor of the physicist Nikola Tesla. Tesla's vehicle models include: Tesla Roadster, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, Tesla Model Y, Tesla Base Model 3, etc.
I've been driving a Model 3 for several years, and it's been quite worry-free for daily commuting. The official range claims over 500 kilometers, but in reality, I can get at most 450 kilometers. When driving fast or using air conditioning, it drops directly to 400 kilometers. The battery doesn't perform well in extreme temperatures either. In summer, using the AC reduces range by 15%, and in winter, heating the seats and cabin doesn't save fuel like in a gasoline car but consumes a lot of electricity. On highways, exceeding 120 km/h drains the battery even faster, so it's best to cruise at around 100 km/h. Charging stations are more widespread now; charging overnight at home gets you back to full, and superchargers can add 200 kilometers in just 15 minutes. For maintenance, avoid frequent fast charging and deep discharges to keep the battery lasting seven or eight years.
For long trips, I prefer the Model Y with a nominal range of around 600 km. In reality, with highway driving and luggage, it can last up to 550 km at most. Driving smoothly saves energy, such as gentle acceleration and using regenerative braking. In cold weather, the battery capacity drops significantly—up to 30% in northern regions at -10°C, while in summer, using air conditioning reduces it by 20%. Charging planning is crucial—Superchargers can top up most of the battery in half an hour, but it's important to plan stops to avoid queues. Cruising at 110 km/h is much more energy-efficient than at 140 km/h, and stacking luggage higher affects aerodynamics. Overall, it's eco-friendly and cost-saving, with zero emissions throughout the journey.
