Tesla Model 3 range on the highway - 150 km / h is not bad, 120 km / h is optimal [VIDEO]

German YouTube channel nextmove has conducted a test on the Tesla Model 3 circuit around Leipzig. It has been calculated that at a speed of 120 km / h, a car can travel up to 450 kilometers on a battery! The real range (EPA) of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range is 499 km.

Tesla Model 3 range test at 120 km / h and 150 km / h

Nextmove tested the car around Leipzig in the same way that we tested the car - this trying maintain a certain speed, either by setting the cruise control, or by independently pressing the accelerator pedal. This is not always achieved, as seen in the red graph in the lower left corner of the illustration:

Despite this, the results of the car were surprisingly good. The Tesla Model 3 has a range of 120 kilometers at 450 km/h and 150 kilometers at 315 km/h.... The range is calculated based on the battery capacity and power consumption during the test cycle.

Optimal range of Tesla 3 at 120 km / h, significant at 150 km / h

Particularly interesting is the range at 120 km / h at 450 km.because it stands well above the blue trend line between the extreme points. Where did we get the car's range of 501 kilometers, visible on the pillar on the left? From a test conducted by Bjorn Nayland, he managed to drive 500,6 km on the battery.

At a speed of 150 km / h The Tesla Model 3 performs better than the twin-engine Tesla Model S P85D, which travels 294 kilometers on a single charge at this speed. Tesla 3 - 315 kilometer.

Other electric vehicles versus Tesla

For a complete comparison, we have also placed the 3nd generation BMW i2s and Nissan Leaf in the table. In contrast to the measurements for Tesla, the bars (numbers) shown in the figure show the calculated range at on average speed - for Tesla, these are "try to hold/set cruise control" values, which are typically 15-30 percent higher.

Road ranges of electric vehicles depending on the speed of movement. BMW i3s and Nissan Leaf are average speeds for a given route. Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model S are "I'm trying to stick to this" speed values ​​set on cruise control. Measurements: www.elektrowoz.pl, Bjorn Nyland, nextmove, Horst Luening, selection of results: (c) www.elektrowoz.pl

However, even if we consider the average versus “holding on”, cars with batteries up to 40 kWh perform very poorly. If we choose to maintain highway speed in the BMW i3s or Nissan Leaf, the sea trip will include at least two stops to charge.

In the case of Tesla, there will be no stops or there will be at most one.
