700+ km per charge in Tesla Model 3? It can be done!
An interesting post from user Tesla in Vernon appeared on Twitter. He managed to reduce the power consumption of his Tesla to below 10 kWh / 100 km (100 Wh / km), which means he could drive over 700 kilometers on a single charge. And he is not a hindrance at all!
Described vehicle Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD, i.e. rear wheel drive vehicle with a usable capacity of about 74 kWh. This option is not displayed in the configurator, but sometimes it can be found among vehicles already ready and delivered to Europe (inventory).

Its driver boasts that it dropped to 9,6 kWh/100 km (96 Wh/km) during the trip from Vernon to Kelowna, Canada – and proved it with a photo taken from the odometer. Interestingly, he did not drive slowly: he claims that the average speed at this distance was 85 km / h.. This corresponds to the desire to keep around 90-92 km/h in a non-Tesla car, because Tesla meters do not overestimate the current speed, others usually do.
If he could achieve the same result on a long journey, all the battery capacity would be enough for him for 771 (!) Kilometer... Of course, no sane person would leave the battery completely, so the driver would probably drive about 730-740 kilometers and look for a charging station or a supercharger.

The driver highlights what he has installed in the car 18-inch (smallest available) rims with Aero hubcaps that reduce energy consumption while driving. The air conditioner was set to 21 degrees Celsius, but it's hard to tell what the temperature was at the time. The difference in level between cities is 36 meters (Vernon: 380 m, Kelowna: 344 m above sea level), which gives 7,2 meters of incline for every 10 kilometers of distance.
Commentators boasted of their long distance records. Someone admitted that he never managed to go below 10 kWh / 100 km (100 Wh / km), someone said that it covered the last 5 kilometers at an average speed of 14,1 kWh / 100 km (141 Wh / km)..
