What is the real range of Tesla Model 3?
2 Answers
Tesla Model 3 has a range of 595 kilometers. Here are the specific details about Tesla Model 3: Body dimensions: Model 3 is a mid-size pure electric vehicle under Tesla. The length, width, and height of Model 3 are 4694 mm, 1850 mm, and 1443 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2875 mm. Power configuration: Model 3 comes in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. The rear-wheel drive version is a single-motor model, while the all-wheel drive version is a dual-motor model. Both the front and rear axles of the all-wheel drive version are equipped with motors. Model 3 uses two types of batteries: lithium iron phosphate battery and ternary lithium battery. The cathode materials of ternary lithium battery and lithium iron phosphate battery are different. The cathode of ternary lithium battery is made of ternary materials, while the cathode of lithium iron phosphate battery is made of lithium iron phosphate. Model 3 uses double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The double-wishbone suspension can reduce the body's roll angle and also prevent brake diving. The multi-link suspension is an improved version based on the double-wishbone suspension. This type of suspension replaces the two wishbones of the double-wishbone suspension with separate links.
I've been driving a Tesla Model 3 for two years, and the actual range really depends. The official claim for the Long Range version is around 350 miles, but in reality, during city driving, I often only get just over 300 miles. In summer with AC on or in cold winter temperatures, battery efficiency drops, and the range can fall to 250 miles. Driving habits also matter—cruising at speeds above 120 km/h consumes power quickly, and rapid acceleration also drains the battery. After battery aging, my car's range decreased by about 10% after a little over a year of use. I recommend new owners pay attention to the estimated range displayed by the trip computer rather than just the nominal value. Using slow charging more often and avoiding storing the battery at full charge can help extend battery life. Range fluctuation is normal, and learning to adjust the temperature control system and eco mode is important.
