Great video Bjorn. I also have the dual motor Model 3 with aero wheels (in Midnight Silver) and I see efficiencies similar to what you found. And that is during the winter in the TN mountains. It should be killing it in summer weather. Keep up the videos, I love watching.
Hi Bjorn great video as usual. This black model 3 dual motor long range is the car I am planning to buy soon so your test drive definitely convinced me ! Really an awesome car with a great range. You are the ev master 👍😉. Have a great Time in California and thanks a lot for your incredible work !
Fun joke with those trucks being towed backwards, if you passenger is sleeping, pull up really close and then start screaming. I mean, sure a divorce is expensive, but think of the lols!
I'm getting so excited for the MY. Not long now. It's gonna be a game-changer, as much as the M3 is. Great test there Uncle Bjorn! I'm addicted to these vids!
Would recommend to go on a road trip on the 101 at the coast line from LA via Monterey and Santa Cruz to SF - really nice trip and much more to enjoy than the highways ;-)
There are also some new, more aero like 19 inch performance wheels for the Chinese market. Wouldn't mind getting those as winter wheels on a performance Model 3. Hope they make it to Europe at some point too. 3.tesla.cn/model3/design?#battery
Interesting video Bjørn! Have you ever considered summing up all the EV test results and publishing them in a public table? Would be very interesting to compare the values.
Bjørn, these numbers for LR dual motor performance and non-performance are really valuable. Also, I'm in a dilemma now... 17% more range for non-performance is a lot.
+rzvqvb I will test acceleration on Dual vs Performance tonight in about 5-6 hours. My impression so far is that both cars are really fast but that Performance is so fast it might give you a headache after a few full accelerations.
The non-performance dual motor with 19" wheels is apparently only a bit more efficient. If you want efficiency, those 18" aerodynamic wheels are the way to go.
We have the non-performance LR DM (NPLRDM?) with 18” aero wheels. Fantastic car. I’d say the extra range is a much better deal, especially since the acceleration numbers are still so good. 4.4 sec 0-60 is plenty fast! Good luck with your decision.
So it's better to get the regular RWD model 3 long range, rather than the dual motor long range? And also, do these have a JAKE BRAKE like a Prius? Where it will regenerate the battery if you put it in that mode if you're going down a hill (also slowing you down without pushing on the brake)?
Mac Viking RWD Model 3 is better for range. As a matter of fact, Tesla just recently revised the range rating to 325 miles on the RWD. The AWD is still 320 miles even though the battery is the same as the RWD. And yes, the Model 3 has Regenerative braking to charge the battery when slowing down or traveling downhill.
@@bjornnyland I have a question. Do these have a JAKE BRAKE like a Prius? Where it will regenerate the battery if you put it in that mode if you're going down a hill (also slowing you down without pushing on the brake)?
You'd definitely want to stick with the 18"wheels on the RWD MR and keep the aero caps on to get as close as possible to the range of Performance dual motor with 20” wheels. teslike.com/range
9:20 life hasn't got ideals, humans do. meaning if you're up to test and then compare afterwards, you stick to ideals, but for as long as you keep expectations, you will run intho disappointments. so just take it as it is in the very moment. cheers for the entertainming tesla video one more time, my brother from another mother :-)
Hi, After few months with a M3 LR AWD, i have noticed the following concerning efficiency: - The efficiency is always better in highway and straight driving --> I only get 150wh/km (241wh/mile) and lower in straight driving conditions like highways (at 110km/h, 70m/h) - The acceleration is what is really causing peak consumption, so when you are in traffic, it will consume more, since you accelerate and break a lot of times.
I have this car: 2020 AWD DM but 19" wheels, so I probably can't go much over 300 miles even at 55mph. I just couldn't take the look of those wheel caps & wheels so I guess I'll sacrifice the range. Keep up the great Videos + I really like when your testing in my area - L.A. just wish you would change to Wh/Per mile when you test here in U.S.
@@pepstein This is impressive enough seeing that he was going up hills and mountains! I'm stunned that he was able to get this type of mileage. I have a question though, do these have a JAKE BRAKE feature? So if you're going downhill, you can put it in that lower gear mode so that it is regenerating energy?
When was the last time ANYONE got the EPA rating let alone exceeding it in a fossil? I can't remember a car I ever drove that ever even hit the epa rating. Tesla is amazing.
@magiva I think it got regen limited because the batteries got to cold. My guess is that letting the car run down the hill in neutral caused the batteries to cool. In the Model 3 the batteries are heated by the heat given off by the motors. There is no separate heating element like in the S and X to heat the batteries. It’s all done by the fluid for the batteries running around the motors. There is no overheating going on there.
In Model S you can regen with ~70 kW at 95% SoC. On a Supercharger you would only get about 30kW charging speed. This high regenerative braking at high SoC is possible but not for to long I guess.
@@hihorlf There is no way the batteries can get too cold for charging, at that speed at 11 degree ambient at that point in this test. Infact, based on his previous tests, i can guestimate the batteries to be at perfectly optimal temperature at that distance
Can you see any fit and finish differencies between the cars you are driving now and the car from year ago? Or diff between Kona, Niro, I-Pace and model 3 in this regard....
Bjorn you should invest in altimeter or whatever it's called lol an altitude meter so you can have a data log of altitude changes but I guess that's unnecessary if you just do round trips to get an average unless regen gets limited on the way back.
Get a Google Pixel phone, install GPS Essentials app, create a dashboard, add the barometric altimeter, install IATA/ICAO Dictionary (alternatively Flightradar24) app, find an airport nearby, get the METAR, use the pressure from the METAR to calibrate the altimeter, get an amazing live readout of your elevation. You then also can configure a variometer into the dashboard, which will show you your climb/descent rate... ;-))
Hi Bjorn. Make a video comparing consumptions with Hyundai Kona EV, Kia e-niro, etc. You already have all the data of those tests that you have done. Thank you.
@Bjorn , are your tests made with A/C turned on with Auto settings ? I have the same year LR model 3 and i get like 250-300km range at 80km/h and something like 150-200km range at 150km/h. Wondering if i should turn off A/C ?
I believe the tires, not the wheels, have the biggest impact on efficiency, hence the difference vs the Performance model. It appears for maximum efficiency, you want to run the hardest and skinniest tire you can (think BMW i3 type). The Model 3 appears to have been designed for way larger rubber just looking at the spacious rear fender tub area. It's speculation that during testing Tesla found a softer, more aggressive 275 width tire just caused range to plummet, hence the specially designed 50psi 235 width tire they finally settled on. I think Tesla arrived at a nice compromise. Those green tires still allow for decent handling and braking while maintaining good efficiency. For those wishing to change to wider aftermarket tires and wheels, be prepared for quite a range drop.
I agree. Especially the 20" wheels, because they come with summer performance tires, whereas the 18" and 19" come with grand touring all season tires. Troy shows 13% more range for performance dual motor with 18" aero wheels than the same car with 20" wheels. And he shows exactly the same range for performance and non-performance dual motor cars equipped with 18" aero wheels: teslike.com/range
Peter Epstein Thats a great chart you linked! I use the 80-20 charge rule and have staggered sized tires on my dual motor LR. I see about 200mi of range at 80mph. That’s just about right according to his chart.
I wish we in Europe could also get the Asian version of the aero wheel design... looks so much cooler, whereas the standard looks a bit cheap :/ And that low consumption is so desirable too!
I live in UAE which has hot weather and I pre ordered tesla model 3 long range with 19“ wheels I drive 300 km total to work and back 5 days a week. I can drive in that highway 120km/h to 160km/h Can the Tesla handle it with one charge if I want to drive the car to work ? What is the recommended speed to go and back home safely? Can I travel 300 km with 90% change and back home with at least 15% ?
Interesting result, you managed to reach the WLTP figures. But it baffles me how slowly you have to go to get there. Absolutely not a feasible speed for highway driving here in Germany. Every truck would tailgate you. I estimate that the range would be around 300 to 350 km at around 140 km/h. Still impressive for an electric car.
Why would you go Neutral in downhill ? Even if the regen is limited, you can still get some juice back on these massive hills ... You think that getting the battery little cooler (rest for a while) get's you better range overall ?
@@semotech That's what I was wondering. I remember driving a 2007 Prius and it had the 'B' (Jake Brake) option on the shifter, so as you're going down the hill, you can put it in that B mode (instead of D mode) and it would regenerate the battery (while slowing you down slightly as you're going down the hill).
@@semotech if you don't need to slow down, coasting is a more efficient transfer of potential energy into kinetic energy compared to Regen charging the battery with it's 60 percent efficiency
as always great content. thanks for the good work. what would your estimates be (i propapbly should say guess ?) for range on a mid-range pack aero-wheel model 3 ? (also in germany i cant select model 3 from the referral code ... hope that tesla "fixes" that soon)
I swapped out my aero wheels and green tires for aftermarket and can confirm it does make a big difference in efficiency. I believe it's the tire that contributes the most to high efficiency.
Yeah, it's mostly the tires, and some from the aero caps. Troy shows the performance version has no range penalty if equipped with 18" wheels: teslike.com/range
@@m.c8038 when they introduced the Performance Model 3 you could get it with 18" aero wheels. It had the smaller brakes that the lower trims use. But now you can only get the Performance Model 3 with 20" wheels and the larger brakes. These larger brakes prevent you from fitting Tesla's 18" wheels. Other companies offer smaller wheels that clear the big brake calipers, but they don't have the aerodynamics of the stock 18" wheels.
@@pepstein Got another question. I live in a region where there is no snow, it's always above 32 degrees F (it's warm all year long) and I'm also looking at using this to do Ride-sharing (Uber) as a part time thing. Would this be good in stop and go traffic in the city or will I not get the amount of mileage as he did in this video driving on the highway? Someone stated that this dual motor AWD LR Tesla 3 wasn't even the most efficient (even though it got over 330+ miles going through mountains, wind, snow, etc.. in the video above), so is the RWD LR even more efficient than this? Already at the mileage he was able to get on this dual motor Tesla 3, it would be enough for me. I drive Part time for Uber on weekends, in a 2007 Prius and unless I do 12 to 14 hour shifts, I rarely ever break 350 miles total for the night. So when I saw this video last night I knew it was capable of my needs, just wondering if the single motor RWD LR will get me more mileage than even this dual motor one!
I wish I could get that kind of range in my m3 (dual motor, non-p with 19’s). I can’t get my consumption below 300 wh/mi (10k miles, almost all highway, 70mph) but i do drive faster than you were going.
Karen Pease - that would be a fair statement had someone at Tesla informed me of the range penalty when I ordered or picked up the vehicle... I only ordered the 19” wheels because I didn’t want hub caps - if I had known about the range penalty or that there were pretty decent rims under the aero covers I probably would have chosen the 18s
Would be good to know what difference does it make when you take the ugly wheels caps off. I think Tesla claim they are adding 10% range. Can you test it?
I wonder how the performance version in chill mode would do? I don't know why Tesla doesn't allow the driver to program a desired range (within limits). Might slow way down on hills and cut acceleration way back but still give the range.
@@MrGoogle87 Tell me about it! Every time I get in my P3D or P100D MX I have to punch it. I am an acceleration junkie now! I know nothing but ludicrous mode now! I need rehab!!!
How much longer are you in LA? Is there going to be a subscriber meetup? If you have time and are interested, I’d be happy to lend you my Bolt for a video lol
What I’m really interested is, if the non performance is so efficient, than how is just the real wheel drive version?it have to be even more efficient, because of less friction in the drive train etc. are there any data about that?

Great test Bjørn. Unfortunately the 18” rims does not fit the Performance version due to the large disc brakes.
Would have to do the switch the other way round, 20 inch on the LR dual non-performance.
There are also some new, more aero like 19 inch performance wheels for the Chinese market. Wouldn't mind getting those as winter wheels on a performance Model 3. Hope they make it to Europe at some point too.

Unlike Model S, the RWD Model 3 is more efficient than dual motor.
Makes sense, as there where never a rwd ms with the rear motor of the d alone. It used the older and less efficient first iteration.
So it's better to get the regular RWD model 3 long range, rather than the dual motor long range?
And also, do these have a JAKE BRAKE like a Prius? Where it will regenerate the battery if you put it in that mode if you're going down a hill (also slowing you down without pushing on the brake)?

great video, question.... why is it that the car can charge at such good rates, yet the regen cannot keep up and you got regen limited ?
In my opininion this is because the overheating occurs in some other components apart from the battery while regening

Either due to battery SOC being high or batteries being too cold or combination of those factors. Regen is too low to overheat M3 motor.

Manual says: "Push the lever up or down to the first position
and hold it there for more than 1 second to
shift into Neutral."
Doesn’t neutral defeat regen? Why put it in neutral going downhill? I bet even more range if left “in gear” so regen can replenish some energy.
@@semotech That's what I was wondering. I remember driving a 2007 Prius and it had the 'B' (Jake Brake) option on the shifter, so as you're going down the hill, you can put it in that B mode (instead of D mode) and it would regenerate the battery (while slowing you down slightly as you're going down the hill).
@@semotech if you don't need to slow down, coasting is a more efficient transfer of potential energy into kinetic energy compared to Regen charging the battery with it's 60 percent efficiency
Four Model 3s are lots of Model 3s? Welcome to Planet Tesla.
as always great content. thanks for the good work.
what would your estimates be (i propapbly should say guess ?) for range on a mid-range pack aero-wheel model 3 ?
(also in germany i cant select model 3 from the referral code ... hope that tesla "fixes" that soon)
Where I'm from, electricity costs around 7 cents USD / KWh ;-) . So it would cost me 5.25$ to fully charge a model 3 long range.
So much difference between Performance+20inch wheels; it is shocking how inefficient the Performance version is compared to other variants.
I swapped out my aero wheels and green tires for aftermarket and can confirm it does make a big difference in efficiency. I believe it's the tire that contributes the most to high efficiency.
Yeah, it's mostly the tires, and some from the aero caps. Troy shows the performance version has no range penalty if equipped with 18" wheels: teslike.com/range
@@pepstein So are you able to build the dual motor performance Tesla 3 dual motor with 18" wheels rather than their factory 20" inch wheels?
@@m.c8038 when they introduced the Performance Model 3 you could get it with 18" aero wheels. It had the smaller brakes that the lower trims use. But now you can only get the Performance Model 3 with 20" wheels and the larger brakes.
These larger brakes prevent you from fitting Tesla's 18" wheels. Other companies offer smaller wheels that clear the big brake calipers, but they don't have the aerodynamics of the stock 18" wheels.
@@pepstein Got another question. I live in a region where there is no snow, it's always above 32 degrees F (it's warm all year long) and I'm also looking at using this to do Ride-sharing (Uber) as a part time thing. Would this be good in stop and go traffic in the city or will I not get the amount of mileage as he did in this video driving on the highway? Someone stated that this dual motor AWD LR Tesla 3 wasn't even the most efficient (even though it got over 330+ miles going through mountains, wind, snow, etc.. in the video above), so is the RWD LR even more efficient than this? Already at the mileage he was able to get on this dual motor Tesla 3, it would be enough for me. I drive Part time for Uber on weekends, in a 2007 Prius and unless I do 12 to 14 hour shifts, I rarely ever break 350 miles total for the night. So when I saw this video last night I knew it was capable of my needs, just wondering if the single motor RWD LR will get me more mileage than even this dual motor one!
Question: I was told that using neutral on highway is bad for ICE, what about for motors? Thanks
I wish I could get that kind of range in my m3 (dual motor, non-p with 19’s). I can’t get my consumption below 300 wh/mi (10k miles, almost all highway, 70mph) but i do drive faster than you were going.
Karen Pease - that would be a fair statement had someone at Tesla informed me of the range penalty when I ordered or picked up the vehicle... I only ordered the 19” wheels because I didn’t want hub caps - if I had known about the range penalty or that there were pretty decent rims under the aero covers I probably would have chosen the 18s
Would be good to know what difference does it make when you take the ugly wheels caps off. I think Tesla claim they are adding 10% range. Can you test it?
I wonder how the performance version in chill mode would do? I don't know why Tesla doesn't allow the driver to program a desired range (within limits). Might slow way down on hills and cut acceleration way back but still give the range.
@@MrGoogle87 Tell me about it! Every time I get in my P3D or P100D MX I have to punch it. I am an acceleration junkie now! I know nothing but ludicrous mode now! I need rehab!!!
@@MrGoogle87 It will ruin your life! You've been warned!
How much longer are you in LA? Is there going to be a subscriber meetup? If you have time and are interested, I’d be happy to lend you my Bolt for a video lol
Thnx!!! 👍🤘
What I’m really interested is, if the non performance is so efficient, than how is just the real wheel drive version?it have to be even more efficient, because of less friction in the drive train etc. are there any data about that?
