A Tesla owner has shared a stunning statistic from his Model 3 Long Range Rear Wheel Drive (RWD). As per the Tesla owner, his vehicle was able to run 408 miles on one charge, significantly farther than the Model 3 Long Range RWD’s EPA-estimated range of 363 miles per charge. An image of the vehicle’s post-trip stats was shared by Tesla owner @dkrasniy online.
As can be seen in the Model 3 driver’s photo, the Model 3 Long Range RWD averaged a consumption of 184 Wh/mi. While this suggests that the driver was quite conservative on the vehicle’s throttle during the trip, the accomplishment is quite notable nonetheless. 408 miles of range on a single charge in the new Model 3 LR RWD 🤯 this car is unbelievable pic.
twitter.com/zkUKQgpB5M This is not the first time that the reengineered Model 3 sedan was able to travel beyond its rated range . During a test from YouTube EV channel Out of Spec Studios back in September, the Model 3 Long Range AWD, which is not as efficient as the Long Range RWD, blew past its rated EPA range of 341 miles per charge by traveling a whole 370 miles at 70 mph.
“Even accounting for degradation, the new car went 60 miles farther than the old car on a perfect side-by-side comparison,” Out of Spec ’s Kyle Conner noted during the test . The Model 3 Long Range RWD is currently listed as Tesla’s most affordable vehicle, which is quite remarkable because it is also one of the company’s most efficient cars. It is, in a lot of ways, a great entry point for customers who wish to experience what premium all-electric vehicles can offer.
The fact that it seems more than capable of over performing when it comes to range is just icing on the cake. Don’t hesitate to contact us with news tips. Just send a message to simon@teslarati.
