For the first time i've been on holiday with my Model 3 RWD 2023. Had to drive 1200km. Had to charge 3 times and the car was faster at charging than we at going to the toilet, getting some food, etc. The only reason I would faster charging/bigger battery if I traveled with a caravan. Otherwise The model 3 RWD is all you need IMO. I can't stand people anymore who say they need a car that can do 1000km on one charge and fill up within 5 minutes.
Not everyone wants to stop and charge three times, maybe they only want to stop once or not at all, and if they have to stop, maybe they don't want to be there for a long time. People have different preferences, so EVs aren't for everyone. I personally can't stand people who try to tell other people what to do or what to drive.

@@TheEdmaster87 exactly 👍 I usually go 150 so the ACC still works. If I can see that I arrive with more than 2%, then I will drive at 170-200 kph the last bit before charging.

(at night, no 80-100-120 zones, no road works etc.. and if you can nail the charge stops) in reality with all the roadworks, cities pfff.. it doesn't make much sense to hammer it.. I drove on the autobahn a few months ago with a Taycan from Denmark to Belgium and through Germany I got an average speed (including charing) of only 115kph. if it Wass allowed I was doing 200kph+ at night, still faster than Bjorn's average speed but not by much and I reckon he drives at 140-150 kph where it's possible. It's impossible to achieve 107kph average (incl charging) if you don't go above 120kph
I have a 2019 dual motor with 120000km on the clock in France. Did 1100km in 11h10 mins in the summer. Only 3 charging stops required. The highland is better but not by much.
Great 1000km test as usual. I think that leaving the Tesla on its own to plan all the charging stops and preheating would show very similar results but would have demonstrated even better the joy and ease of long trips in Tesla. You don't need any extras to plan route, heating, charging stops etc on a long roadtrip. My experience is you simply wish to take long trips in Tesla just because it is so easy, comfortable and great fun.
It's great that we now have a number of good choices and it's not necessary to get a Tesla to have a relatively convenient experience. It is worth noting that these times are still an hour slower than fossil time, and that's with the world's greatest EV range tester at the wheel doing the best he possibly can. My own experience (of a LR M3 in France a few years ago) was that an 8 hour fossil journey can easily become a 10 hour EV journey, because the Tesla charging stops were located a few minutes off the autoroutes and so each stop added at least 10 minutes extra on top of the charging time, but if you want to cross continents quickly use a plane!
I have been to the south of France 3 times in my model 3 SR+ this year. It's true that the Tesla's are a bit inconveniently located but now most of the Aires have 300kW chargers so as long as you don't mind paying slightly more you don't have to leave the autoroute! You then just charge while you're stopping for a break doing what you'd normally do on a long journey, doesn't feel like you're really stopping for the car.
@@chapmandu2 good to know! I suppose it's possible they were there in 2021 but I think we still using our free supercharging kms so trying to stay in the Tesla network.
Björn please take a 1000 km challenge for the new BMW i4 LCI. Try to ask a car with a non M package version with 17 inch aero wheels. I have one and it has really incredible consumption numbers so it would be great if you could test it as well.
I have similar setup. Just home after a long trip. Amazing drove 310km before i reached 50% today. Started with 100%. Charging is also king. Gets 200KW every time
@@ulyden1947 My first ride was on a 20% city and 80% highway at 130 km/h. It was a 340 km trip and I was afraid I needed to charge as my BMW charging card had not been arrived. Then I arrived home with 31%. 16.7 kWh/100 km. It was astonishing.
I hope the Long Range RWD Model 3 will be available in Europe for Bjørn to test on 1000 km challenge. Even more efficient than this AWD version, so should have a very good result.
I think you are gonna be blown away by the NIO EL8 soon. You should have it by now right? Can’t wait te hear your opinion about it and the new 1000 challenge with battery swap 👍
The only thing I don't like about my LR Highland (with the LG pack) is the honestly mediocre charging performance, it's still plenty good for me but coming from a car with a Panasonic pack it was a little disappointing, though i would say the increased efficiency probably makes up for it. In my first 7K miles I actually am seeing the pack increase in capacity as the cells cycle in. I've head that is pretty normal with the LG packs if you can maintain a 50% median SOC. I used your code for my S3xy button commander and am about to hook it up today
Model 3 RWD stands out to me as the best bang for the buck in the spreadsheet list. 9:30 in the 1000km challenge! I have a 2020 M3 LR, but would go for RWD today.
I got my Model 3 LR 3 weeks ago. Just drove from Zurich to Corsica. We did a 8 min stop after 380 km (close to Parma). Since the ferry was late we did another stop close to Livorno. In Corsica we drove another 160 km (without stop) and we arrived with 40% at the hotel. This car is super efficient!
@@syriacode8602 depends on the speed. We arrived with 25% at the first charger but in Switzerland you can only drive max. 120 km/h. So about 450 km at 120 km/h.
@@syriacode8602 the LR has a NMC battery which you can of course charge to 100% for long trips. For driving to the office I charge it to 60%. LFP batteries should not be charged to 100% too often. They just recommend it so the BMS knows how much charged the battery is due to the flat voltage curve.
Don't manually preheat using sexy buttons, the car knows best what it needs for optimal charging... Should have just let it automatically preheat and would have probably gotten even better results! Nevertheless thanks for taking your time to make these tests, these is my favorite content of yours.
In Germany, you lose the operating license for the Tesla if you install the Commander. There could also be problems with the Tesla warranty. What is it like in Norway?
Could the manual preheating battery heat it too early and too much? I mean if the car has its own timing, period of time and temperature to preheat the battery once you select the charger based of mileage, why to use those buttons? Just my humble opinion...

Thanks for video. I am so interested to see Porsche Macan (ideally 4 or 4S) in this test with its monster charging curve! Any idea when we could see that from you?
Of course, one of the most efficient cars. But for long distance trips it would not my way to charge till approx 40% having few stops. If you have less stops and you charge till 80% each M3 will - unfortunately - loose time. Tesla has to work on this matter further to be competitive in the future.
Bjørn hope you see my question - or perhaps somebody else can answer: what type of camera holder (suction cup) do you use? I checked in your item list but couldn't find it? It seems to be very strong and stable.
Awsome work Björn! Two questions: Why did you not drive down to Helsingborg for the second stop and back to Varberg just like you did with model s? Could it be done with only 4 stops, just like you did with model s?

Love the new Model 3 and im looking forward to the Model Y refresh. Many things i want like ambient lights and ventilated sets will be added. Only thing which makes me wonder is why Tesla did not introduce new Batteries with the 3 refresh. They need faster charging and a better curve. In 2024 Tesla is falling behind with its charging speed and curve.
Tesla preheats LG to 48 C usually. But then it turns on heating during charging and not giving max speed. What I do is preheat to 49-50 and turn off heating during charging via service mode to decrease losses during charging session.
Is Tesla planning on bringing a newer battery for the Model 3 with better charging speeds? I heard the US versions of the Performance are way better, but I'm not really up to date in terms of Tesla and their stuff. I heard the Model Y has this Blade battery from BYD that is super fast in charging. Why is not in the Model 3?
@@bjornnyland , sure it can take few more years, but it was a question about the future, how we are going to handle that situation when some cars can do it ? My optimistic estimate is that between 2028 to 2030 there will be a car which can do this test without charging.
Then you will need solid state batteries or batteries with 140kw capacity and M3 efficency. As a joke a small powered thorium reactor would be the ultimate energy source
@@TheEdmaster87 , I think 140 kWh battery is not enough when doing 120 km/h test, I would say that it has to be 200 kWh battery pack, some new tech which is not for sale yet, without new tech it would be too heavy. 140 kWh could be enough for 90 km/h test, but not for 120 km/h.
Can you find tesla model y or model 3 with a realy big milage an do all thos testus, and check the condition. I am talking about 300k, 500k or even more km
Hi Bjorn. In one of your videos, you claimed that the Tesla autopilot is the best in the market. But I've heard other TH-camrs argued that other brands, and in particular BMW, have a much better autopilot than Tesla. Would be nicer to understand how you rank the various autopilots and in particular why you think that BMW's is less good than Tesla's? Thanks
For me in my TM3LR to hit consumption levels of 220 Wh/km, I'd have to drive 160-170 km/h. For 140 km/h it's around 180-190 Wh/km. So the first 500 km were a bit rough if you were not speeding ;)
Same here, 2021 LR. But higher average temperatures in southern Europe… You can see ti in Bjorn’s chart: the 82kwh legacy model 3 used 186wh/km in 15-20 Celsius.
The car is still top, but it lost quite a bit of edge compared to the competition. New EQS will almost certainly beat Model S on this challenge. Also surprised that BMW i4 is still on par with M3. Next BMW EVs will be 20 to 30% more efficient. Ie Tesla needs to change gears if they want to remain at the top.
You're missing two key details, the Tesla's are cheaper, and they are sold at a profit. Tesla didn't lose its edge, the other oems just put out vehicles that lose them money lol
75km drives between chargers? This challenge is so optimised for time now that it doesn't really reflect how people would choose to drive 1000km. Most people would want longer sections with fewer stops. It may not be optimal for time but it's easier.
Is it? I think also the flatter and higher charge speeds towards hoger percentage will give us more degradation. I think Tesla knows very well and what they are doing on this thing...
We have an early 2020 Model 3SR+. As we drove to our vacation destination (600km), I saw that our trip calculator wasn't accurate anymore. I guess the calculator calculates for the new bigger battery? Strange but we always used 10-20% more without driving very fast!
Highland with the LG pack is known to have slightly inferior curve than the Panasonic pack. The Panasonic pack can hold 250 kW until around 20% and 150 kW to 40% or better. An American model 3 should be able to shave a few mins off this challenge.
We really need the Model 3 LR Single Motor RWD in Europe as well. With a car like that I think you can do the 1000 km challenge with just one stop and under 8 hours. Maybe the New Model Y will have a LR Single Motor RWD variant available for Europe.
The Long Range RWD has same consumption than LR AWD in highways cause it doesnt use the front motor at 120 / 130km/h. So LR RWD will have the same time.
@@Tiper23 in a spreadsheet just a little more efficient, IRL, you will not see the difference in highways. The front motor is equal to 1 passager. Do you think you lose lots of range with 1 passenger ? 🤔

Tesla preheats LG to 48 C usually. But then it turns on heating during charging and not giving max speed. What I do is preheat to 49-50 and turn off heating during charging via service mode to decrease losses during charging session.
Is Tesla planning on bringing a newer battery for the Model 3 with better charging speeds? I heard the US versions of the Performance are way better, but I'm not really up to date in terms of Tesla and their stuff. I heard the Model Y has this Blade battery from BYD that is super fast in charging. Why is not in the Model 3?
Is there a car that can do 1000km/one charge/hammer speed? 🤔🤔. There has to be a point where there is a time benefit to just charge once.
Hi can you tell more about that program commander
Thank you for sharing. This is valuable information for prospective buyers. Awesome car, the Tesla Model 3.
Honestly, the car would be perfect if it only had the stalks.
Like butter through cheese😅
When cars can do that 1000 km 120 km/h without charging, how important this test will be ?
That's not going to happen in a long time.
@@bjornnyland , sure it can take few more years, but it was a question about the future, how we are going to handle that situation when some cars can do it ?
My optimistic estimate is that between 2028 to 2030 there will be a car which can do this test without charging.
Then you will need solid state batteries or batteries with 140kw capacity and M3 efficency. As a joke a small powered thorium reactor would be the ultimate energy source
Nobody needs this
@@TheEdmaster87 , I think 140 kWh battery is not enough when doing 120 km/h test, I would say that it has to be 200 kWh battery pack, some new tech which is not for sale yet, without new tech it would be too heavy.
140 kWh could be enough for 90 km/h test, but not for 120 km/h.
What’s with all the pull through chargers? In Australia we have bugger all.
Björn, did you ever miss the rear wipers? Last time I tested the car it was raining and it was a knight‘s tale, that no rain touches the rear window.
No
How about model 3 Long Range RWD ? Less charging and less weight ?
Do you turn on the air recycling in tunnels? Or is it automatically turned on with newer versions of the software? I see it says automatic now...
Can you find tesla model y or model 3 with a realy big milage an do all thos testus, and check the condition. I am talking about 300k, 500k or even more km
Hi Bjorn. In one of your videos, you claimed that the Tesla autopilot is the best in the market. But I've heard other TH-camrs argued that other brands, and in particular BMW, have a much better autopilot than Tesla. Would be nicer to understand how you rank the various autopilots and in particular why you think that BMW's is less good than Tesla's? Thanks
❤❤❤
For me in my TM3LR to hit consumption levels of 220 Wh/km, I'd have to drive 160-170 km/h. For 140 km/h it's around 180-190 Wh/km. So the first 500 km were a bit rough if you were not speeding ;)
Same here, 2021 LR. But higher average temperatures in southern Europe…
You can see ti in Bjorn’s chart: the 82kwh legacy model 3 used 186wh/km in 15-20 Celsius.
The car is still top, but it lost quite a bit of edge compared to the competition. New EQS will almost certainly beat Model S on this challenge. Also surprised that BMW i4 is still on par with M3. Next BMW EVs will be 20 to 30% more efficient. Ie Tesla needs to change gears if they want to remain at the top.
You're missing two key details, the Tesla's are cheaper, and they are sold at a profit. Tesla didn't lose its edge, the other oems just put out vehicles that lose them money lol
75km drives between chargers? This challenge is so optimised for time now that it doesn't really reflect how people would choose to drive 1000km. Most people would want longer sections with fewer stops. It may not be optimal for time but it's easier.
That was only one leg. Most other legs I did longer distances. Let's not forget the first leg where I drove almost 400 km.
@@bjornnyland Didn't mean to sound overly critical Bjorn. I love the 1000km challenges. Keep up the good work!
Not really summer temperatures
So first leg went 396KM using 61% of battery?
No
are you sure that model 3 performance highland doesnt' have lg battery ?
Mine TM3P from 2021 has Panasonic. It charge faster: 8% soc 261kw
25% soc 202kw
47% soc 109kw
Isn't a consumption of 206 Wh/km actually very high? It would not even give full 300km if you do not want to arrive with an empty battery
Is 5% of 1000 km not 50?Otherwise it be 5 permill?
He said 0.5% and not 5%.
@@Poebbelmann Ah okay, my fault then :)
Car is Amazing but can we say that Charging curve is bad?
Is it? I think also the flatter and higher charge speeds towards hoger percentage will give us more degradation. I think Tesla knows very well and what they are doing on this thing...
Mucho consumo ese 20.3
Do they sell LR Model 3 with Panasonic in Europe? It truly is the better battery
Why is the passport halve way over the screen? Hide the current speed?
He gets stopped by the police a lot and has to show his passport, because he doesn't look like a native Norwegian.
@@NikiL2134 Ahh thx.
Why are the sounds the car makes all the time with Autopilot enabled okay with this car, but not with Asian cars?
We have an early 2020 Model 3SR+. As we drove to our vacation destination (600km), I saw that our trip calculator wasn't accurate anymore. I guess the calculator calculates for the new bigger battery? Strange but we always used 10-20% more without driving very fast!
That definitely sounds like something is off. My best bet would be an issue with (or more likely just uncalibrated) BMS
My car rattles everywere. Its super efficient but irritating
Highland with the LG pack is known to have slightly inferior curve than the Panasonic pack.
The Panasonic pack can hold 250 kW until around 20% and 150 kW to 40% or better. An American model 3 should be able to shave a few mins off this challenge.
We really need the Model 3 LR Single Motor RWD in Europe as well. With a car like that I think you can do the 1000 km challenge with just one stop and under 8 hours. Maybe the New Model Y will have a LR Single Motor RWD variant available for Europe.
It already has. At least in Portugal.
The Long Range RWD has same consumption than LR AWD in highways cause it doesnt use the front motor at 120 / 130km/h.
So LR RWD will have the same time.
@@shivan6416Rwd i lighter, so it should be more effecient
@@Tiper23 in a spreadsheet just a little more efficient, IRL, you will not see the difference in highways. The front motor is equal to 1 passager. Do you think you lose lots of range with 1 passenger ? 🤔
@@carleinhos95 The present Model Y yes does have a LR 75 kwh Battery RWD variant, but doesn't have the new efficiency of the Highland.
Not much difference between long range and RWD
Temperature
What time did RWD have?
@sallerc 9.30. It is shown in the chart as well.
@@David_Polak Thx (at 18:43)
Sorry Bjorn, but 16 degrees is not a summer range test. Why do you always test the highland in winter?
I stopped traveling international with my family after I had kids, it's tough to pay for the extra flight tickets.
bottom line
it is better to buy a cheaper used M3LR, with stalks! :-P
Even my 2021 M3 LR with LG 74 kWh charges faster than this. Has Tesla nerfed the charging curve on Highland LR?
Just 5 minutes faster than the much bigger ID.7? And only a small difference in consumption? Teslas improvments come in way smaller steps.
Colder Weather and AWD!
Improving just 5 minutes around 9 hour mark is way harder than improving 5 minutes for cars doing the challenge in over 10 hours.
what is the purpose of tesla overheating the pack before supercharging ? i noticed this too, i couldnt reach 250kw after preheating a long time
It was not overheating. It was preheating.
@@bjornnyland so youre saying the pack was underheated ? in the video you said it was too warm
Such a shame the car has become sort of a MAGA mobile, since it's a really good product
I'm a private driver, and since the Olympics in Paris Tesla navigation is awful. He is completely lost and useless, want you to take many detour.
Hey I'm First 🎉😂
Congratz man
If Elon could shut up
Free Tesla from Elon
