Edmunds recently reviewed the reengineered Tesla Model 3 Performance and found that the all-electric sports sedan not only met, but exceeded its EPA range estimates. The vehicle is listed with an EPA-estimated range of 303 miles per charge, but it managed to travel 307 miles in real-world range tests, consuming 29 kWh per 100 miles. This is a significant improvement compared to previous Tesla models that often fell short of their EPA range estimates in real-world testing.
Most Teslas reviewed by Edmunds in the past did not beat or meet their EPA range estimates, including the 2018 Model 3 Performance which only traveled 256 miles in the range test despite an EPA-estimated range of 310 miles per charge. The recent success of the reengineered Model 3 Performance in exceeding its EPA range estimate is a positive sign for Tesla’s advancements in vehicle range efficiency.
In addition to the Model 3 Performance, the Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series AWD with All Terrain Tires also exceeded its EPA range estimate in the Edmunds real-world range test. The Cybertruck, listed with an EPA-estimated range of 318 miles, managed to travel 334 miles during the test, showcasing impressive range performance despite its large size and all-terrain tires.
The reengineered Model 3 not only exceeded its EPA range estimate in the recent Edmunds review, but it also outperformed expectations in a range test conducted by EV group Out of Spec Studios. The group tested the Model 3 AWD at 70 mph and found that it was able to travel 370 miles, surpassing its EPA-estimated range of 341 miles per charge. This demonstrates the reliability and accuracy of Tesla’s range estimates.
Overall, the positive real-world range test results for the reengineered Tesla Model 3 Performance and Cybertruck Foundation Series AWD with All Terrain Tires show significant improvements in Tesla’s efficiency and range capabilities. These results are a stark contrast to previous reviews where Tesla vehicles fell short of their EPA range estimates. The advancements in range performance indicate Tesla’s continuous efforts to enhance its electric vehicles’ efficiency and overall driving experience.
