What is the range of the domestically produced Tesla Model 3 in kilometers?
3 Answers
model3 has a range of 445 kilometers. The following is a related introduction about the range of the car: Power to overcome air resistance: When the car is running at high speed, most of the power is used to overcome air resistance. The magnitude of air resistance is determined by the frontal area, speed, etc. Power source - the power battery: Pure electric vehicles are still significantly different from traditional fuel vehicles, because the power source of pure electric vehicles is the power battery, and the transmission they carry is mostly a single-speed transmission, that is, a fixed gear ratio. During high-speed driving, the fixed gear ratio is relatively large, which also increases energy consumption, and this will shorten the range.
As an ordinary owner who has driven a Model 3, I think the domestic Tesla Model 3 has an official range of about 556 kilometers, but that's tested under the CLTC standard. In actual driving, you can expect around 450 to 500 kilometers, depending on how you drive. In cold or hot weather, the range might drop below 400 kilometers because the air conditioning drains the battery quickly. On highways, the wind resistance is higher, consuming more power, so it's recommended to maintain a steady speed of 60 km/h to save some energy. I commute 50 kilometers daily and charge once a week, which is sufficient. A supercharger station can get you to 80% in just half an hour. Battery maintenance is crucial—avoid charging to 100% all the time; keeping it below 90% helps reduce degradation, so the battery can still maintain about 90% of its range after several years.
After driving the Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive for half a year, the official range of 556 km is quite appealing, but in the city, I average around 480 km. Using the heater in winter or the AC in summer drops it to just over 400 km. Road conditions have a significant impact, with range taking a hit on uphill roads or in traffic jams. Good charging habits can extend battery life, like avoiding frequent use of superchargers and opting for slow charging at home to save money. Compared to gas cars, the range is sufficient for daily commutes, and the savings on fuel costs make it very cost-effective. Beginners are advised to pay attention to driving modes, such as enabling the 'energy-saving' setting to go farther. Always test-drive to get a feel for the real range before buying.
