I’m sure much of the gain comes from wheel / tire! I’d love to swap the new wheel / tire package on the old car to see the improvement. Maybe 40% can be attributed to that?
Also, how much of the difference would be in the tires versus the wheels. I'd be surprised if there's much difference in the wheels, but it would be interesting to know for sure.
@@KyleConner This would be a great test! Please do it. Tesla recommends upgrading to the new Hankook Ventus S1 AS or Michelin Primacy A/S when replacing all four wheels. (Service manual estimates a 10 and 20 mile range improvement respectively.)
I love these “drive until shuts off” videos, love them from Bjorn and love them from you guys, always interesting to see what different EVs do when the guessometer hits zero
You KNOW what has to be done next, Kyle. You gotta put the Highland wheel/tire setup on the '21 LR and repeat the test and see just how much difference there is.
Tires make account for 3-5% of the range increase and maybe new aerodynamics another 3-5%, but this was a 21% range increase. Tesla's done something else, or so it seems. But I agree it would be interesting to swap the tires.
I don't think there would be much, if any difference at all between LRAWD and LRRWD. A german channel tested this with the MY, the difference on highways was 0. It'll likely be more efficient in city driving
Just took my 2018 Model 3 RWD on a 2000 mile road trip from Minneapolis to Bozeman and back. It did great but this comparison is really tempting me to make the switch. 114k miles on my model 3 now.
@@noyoutube22 Agreed! The problem is I can't justify it as my 3 has had only 1-2 issues and it was all before 50k miles. It's a great vehicle and I easily get 5 miles/kwh on my daily commutes during the summer. It's also paid off haha!
@@Alpiner251 yeah I hear you. I’ve got an older Model X and until it breaks or gets totaled, it will be hard to part with. It’s also paid off and. Maybe if Tesla does an end of year promotion.
@@Alpiner251 Same boat. My 2019 AWD is doing a great job. My leather steering wheel feels fine, I don't need any star wars noise when I'm driving slowly and having a pair of frunk hooks, has always been better than not having a pair of frunk hooks. There is also no FSD transfer in Europe 😡
@Alpiner251 if I were you just hold onto it until the wheels fall off :) there will always be a better model 3, who knows what technology will break thru a few years from now than the current best one of 2024 if it's paid off even better congrats! 🎉 your still saving money with "old" model 3 compared to conventional cars just my opinion stay safe out there!
Great video. My first EV was a 2024 Model 3 LR "Highland" -- As a new EV owner, I have been tracking efficiency -- After 1500 miles I have averaged 211Whrs per mile. The efficiency on this car has been amazing I charge it every 9-10 days (from 25%-65%) using it as my day to day car. I have been very happy with the car and its energy efficiency.
My efficiency on a 2019 Model 3 LR AWD after 60k miles is 230Wh/mi. That's with fairly efficient driving. Looks like the Highland is at least about 10% more efficient than the first Model 3s.
Maybe you could do a quick test with the old Model 3, but swap the wheels from the new one? Would be amazing to see what difference the tires really make.
Now I'm really excited and curious how much range I can get out of my new M3 LR RWD. I've got a touch over 550 miles on it (delivered with 4 miles) and with mostly city and brief highway hops (and 70 mile drive from the delivery center to home) it's showing 202 Wh/mi (4.95 mi/kWh). I have the Panasonic battery and Michelin Primacy tires on 18" Photon wheels.
Rare to see Kyle get any info wrong but this was a rather important part of this test. The wheels on both these cars are the base 18" wheels(not 19" as Kyle stated) that come stock. They both have the stock hubcaps(as we used to call them). My guess is the tires in particular are the biggest reason for the significant range difference in these two M3's. Hankook Ion Evo may even yield higher results. You guys need to swap the wheel/tires setup from the '24 over to the '21 M3 and I bet the results end up much closer. I really enjoyed this test as many others Im sure do too, since the M3 is the king of EVs at this price point IMO.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see it go a bit over 400 miles, seeing as it is much less weight without that extra motor and the obvious lack of the additional power draw.
Tesla really did make a perfect EV sedan with this redesign. All of the weaknesses (interior quality, build quality, road noise, suspension tuning) have been fixed and they increased the range! The closest competitor (Hyundai Ioniq6) can't match this range with AWD nor the tech inside.
Hyundai ioniq 6 has 5kwh less battery capacity for starters and much bigger tires, but cannot match the AWD range. Still, it has a better coefficient of drag, and when they increase the battery to 84kwh, will still have more range than the RWD version. And the N version will outperform the M3P too.
It would be cool to see if the old car would have the same range if it had the ultra efficient Hankook iON EVO AS tires. I did 315 miles and had 8% SOC left with my 2024 Model 3 Performance with 235/45/18 Hankook iON EVO AS tires.
I'd like to see this with a M3P but using the same tires/wheels as the LR used in this test. It would be an apples to apples comparison between the range of the P and LR.
4:55 Kyle says the Highland Model 3 LR has 19" wheels. However, you can clearly see that these are 18" wheels and tires in the video. 19" wheels would not have efficient tires and wouldn't come anywhere close to the same range.
I am thinking that the hardware has quite a bit to do with efficiency as well. Thanks for taking a day to do this! Even though it’s just a sample size of one, it’s great to see.
Bjørn Nyland did exactly this a couple of years back, so I think they'd just refer you to his excellent video. Should be quite easy to search for here on YT.
Pretty interesting to see that the '24 reverted back to the "old" software v11 parked vehicle model (characterized by the higher camera perspective and narrow width) as it died at 1:03:06 and 1:03:27 , but when Kyle plugged it in at 1:04:15 , the v12 vehicle model (lower camera angle, vehicle color halo, spanning the whole width of the display) popped back on along with the ambient lighting. Tesla goes pretty far to conserve energy at absolute 0%, including shutting off more GPU intensive renders in favor of older ones.
Wow I love that y’all were willing to share the results up front. I’m still gonna watch the rest of the vidya because y’all always make great and entertaining content
I own a model 3 2020 awd. And the new Highland awd . Same wheels. So far all i notice is that the new one the battery drain slower driving the same distance. Havent gone long distance in the new one. Thanks for this video
Got my 2024 LR AWD Highland recently with Nova wheels/ Continental all season tires, it gets me around at least 30-35 miles less range based on your tests but I also have only drove it from 100% - 2% (not until dead) twice on a few longer trips the PNW without supercharging. Positively surprised with its range performance especially with my driving habits! (spirited)
Just got back from our last trip, about 6,000 klm, 3 adults and 2 children with boot and frunk filled to brim, Valencia, Spain, France, Uk, Scotland, Wales, France and back to Valencia in my model 3 Highland RWD (now done 20,000klm) going at speed limits ie, france 130kph (81mph) my car showed for the trip 136 wh/km (7.35 km/Kwh) (4.6 M/Kwh) I am super impressed with it.
Both ranges are absolutely amazing. I can barely get 200 even on a perfect day on the highway, on my 19M3LR. I know it's a smaller battery, so def tempted to upgrade!
I just got a new M3 SR (China made, 18 inch wheels). Previously had a 2021 model LR (late 2020 build from Freemont) with 19 inch wheels. The Highland is way more efficient relative to the car's rated range - much the same actual range as the old car and even more given you can charge to 100% if needed without worrying about hurting the battery.
Love my 24 LR 3. I was able to eke out 180 wh/m with autopilot set to 65mph flat ground drafting a semi from a safe distance in my last trip. Even going up and down mountain passes with my speed ranging from 70 to 75 I was doing around 235wh/m average on a 380 mile trip. I’m using about 4-6% of the battery for my daily commute so I can keep my SOC at 40-50% for daily driving so looking at minimal battery degradation overtime for my use case. I could have gotten away with even an old leaf for my daily drives but the ability to go in a weekend road trip whenever I want was important to me. My only regret is jumping on the car when only the LG pack was available, that being said the LG pack degradation seems to be marginally slower than the Panasonic packs, and they actually seem to increase in capacity in the first 5k miles or so if you maintain a 50% median SOC.
This Model 3 has a Million Mile Battery. 370 miles per full cycle would imply only ~2700 full cycles to reach a 1,000,000 miles. Following Out-Of-Spec longevity procedures could unlock even more miles of drivability.
The flashing lights were OBNOXIOUS when you were talking at the end. OBNOXIOUS! But I'm impressed that you got 60 miles further with the new version. I've got a 2020 Model Y dual motor long range and I totally expect (being 64 years old) that this my last new vehicle. The future looks bright for Tesla.
Exactly the cheaper m3 version with cloth seats introduced for mx should also have economy spec 17x7" with some 215/65/17 eco tires on it&aero covers! Ad a lower power motor&I bet the lfp pack could hit 300+with just those changes or 5+miles per kwh real world Hwy Efficiency!
Hi, I have the same 2021 LR Panasonic bat. You need to put on new tires and rerun the test. I replaced the OT Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for Hankook iON EV which is a difference in less noise and lower power consumption. Conversely, I am interested in what Tesla did to make Highland more efficient. It can't be just less drag. I feel like they are hiding something as I want the same on mine haha. What you could to is at least swap the wheels and run the test again to see the results! If the new wheels are lighter I would definitely buy them!!!
I really appreciate the improvements made with the 2024. However, and I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion, I think the older 3's look quite a bit better.
I just did a trip to NYC from MA in my new 2024. I averaged 209Wh/mile. My 2019 averaged 239Wh/mile over it's five year life so it pretty much got its EPA range but there is no doubt the new one is more efficient.
Correction for 5:00 -- those are 18" wheels. The model Y comes with 19" in base spec, the model 3 comes with 18". You can actually see the R18 if you look closely at 5:05
Awesome work! Would love to see a range test of a new Performance Model 3 on the 18" wheels since I'd probably swap them out onto the 18s for road tripping. Looking at either getting a Long range AWD Model 3 or a perf. Model 3. If the wheels is the majority of the range hit then I'd definitely go with the perf to have the power day to day, and still be able to road trip.
I have a 2023 model 3 lfp rwd and i got 315 mile of one charge 173 wh/mile. I a have picture and a video. I work as a taxi driver (Lyft) in New York and is a mix 0f highway and city driving so i think that very good.
Wow, what an amazing range improvement with the Highland model! Now we need a range test of the current Model S Long Range, to see if it can even match those numbers, and justify the extra $27,500 cost.
Interesting, wonder how much the tires and wheels caused the difference in efficiency. Maybe put the 2024 tires and wheels on the 2021 and check the efficiency. that would be interesting to know, might put those tires on my 2022 model 3 dual long range when it needs new tires.
Thanks for doing this test. The only thing I would change is the new Model 3 should have had the ambient lighting strip turned off during the test since the old Model 3 doesn’t have that feature.
Thanks for the great comparison. I don't know if it's a trick or an illusion of the photograph but the old model 3 looks to be a couple inches taller than the refreshed model. Is there a difference?
The styling changes on the new one probably reduced the "visual height" of how the car looks, with thinner headlights and a more pinched-looking front end. They're both the same size and shape as far as I can tell
Makes me so excited for the refreshed Y. If we extrapolate the same 19.3% range improvement the Y LR should jump from 286 to 341 miles in the real world at 70mph.
Ha ha Kyle: "1% SOC ... not a beep not a chime - it thinks we can make it". Many you gotta suffer in our 1st gen Kia Soul EV - it's bonging and binging at us once we get down to 20% SOC or about 30km (20mi) of range left. Once you get below ~8km range left you get the display going to "--" and some other weird thing. We've never dared take it lower.
Guys u have to compare the LG chem vs Panasonic chem batteries! It's so unfair that we in EU still have this not so great battery and Tesla has to see it and get some bad words for that and then maybe they will change the way they do stuff and everyone will get the best there is 🙂
I have a 2023 Model 3 and find I'm almost always the fastest at superchargers and find the road tripping is impressive. However this is incredible and would love it for long trips! Of course charging should be better but this helps offset that so much
I did a littlest more checking and it is also possible that your ranges were very good partially due to altitude (lower air density = lower air resistance) particularly due to the fact that you were doing a highway comparison. Not sure what altitude you were at but some some basic calculations could increase range by up to 20% (highway only) sea level vs 5,000 altitude.
I watched it all anyway but props for putting results up front.
Absolutely. Every TH-cam always says, watch Till The End so annoying.
this! it honestly made me subscribe
You should swap the tires between the cars and see how much the new tires affect the range.
I’m sure much of the gain comes from wheel / tire! I’d love to swap the new wheel / tire package on the old car to see the improvement. Maybe 40% can be attributed to that?
It would be wild to gain 25 miles of range with wheels and tires! Plus the new ones look better imo @@KyleConner
Also, how much of the difference would be in the tires versus the wheels. I'd be surprised if there's much difference in the wheels, but it would be interesting to know for sure.

Im pretty sure Tesla transitioned to Harpin motors in late 2021 to 2022. Those motors are more efficient than the previous winding tech.
I love these “drive until shuts off” videos, love them from Bjorn and love them from you guys, always interesting to see what different EVs do when the guessometer hits zero
I agree! Every car behaves differently so it’s great to see what happens

Dang! 370 miles. And without piling on a BIG battery pack. God job Tesla!
Just imagine if they gave us a big battery pack too!!
Yeah but that would be brute force not high tech 🤔
At 4:58, I Kyle misspoke when he said 19" wheels. The new Model 3 aero wheels, called Photon, are still 18".
no they re 19
only in canada tho

Amazing efficiency! Would love to see this test done on the 2024 RWD LFP as well!
They did already it got over 260+miles hwy at 70mph. Its rated for 258 miles hwy only. 👍🏻😎
Now I'm thinking of going with the long range. Thanks!
something delightfully ominous about Kyle talking to us with the yellow light flash illuminating his face at the end
Jordan needs a Highland Performance. 😎
I think the better comparison is how many watt-hours per mile, since it removes the effects of battery degredation.

Correction for 5:00 -- those are 18" wheels. The model Y comes with 19" in base spec, the model 3 comes with 18". You can actually see the R18 if you look closely at 5:05
Awesome work! Would love to see a range test of a new Performance Model 3 on the 18" wheels since I'd probably swap them out onto the 18s for road tripping. Looking at either getting a Long range AWD Model 3 or a perf. Model 3. If the wheels is the majority of the range hit then I'd definitely go with the perf to have the power day to day, and still be able to road trip.
I have a 2023 model 3 lfp rwd and i got 315 mile of one charge 173 wh/mile. I a have picture and a video. I work as a taxi driver (Lyft) in New York and is a mix 0f highway and city driving so i think that very good.
Jordan, get the model 3!
4K video pls thx
This is clearly a young man’s game, for those with bladder stamina!
Wow, what an amazing range improvement with the Highland model! Now we need a range test of the current Model S Long Range, to see if it can even match those numbers, and justify the extra $27,500 cost.
I would really like to see a 0 to 60 and a range test that compares a 2024 Model 3 long range awd with a panasonic battery vs a LG battery.
Very thought provoking and I'm sure this video will make a splash. Great job, as always.
Interesting, wonder how much the tires and wheels caused the difference in efficiency. Maybe put the 2024 tires and wheels on the 2021 and check the efficiency. that would be interesting to know, might put those tires on my 2022 model 3 dual long range when it needs new tires.
Thanks for doing this test. The only thing I would change is the new Model 3 should have had the ambient lighting strip turned off during the test since the old Model 3 doesn’t have that feature.
I really want to see the model 3 LR rwd range test
Didnt they transition to Harpin Motors in 2021-2022? So i suspect the Tires, motor, and new shape of the model 3 got those extra 60 miles :)
I think you are correct and that was the biggest difference. Next would be tires.
Thanks for the great comparison. I don't know if it's a trick or an illusion of the photograph but the old model 3 looks to be a couple inches taller than the refreshed model. Is there a difference?
The styling changes on the new one probably reduced the "visual height" of how the car looks, with thinner headlights and a more pinched-looking front end. They're both the same size and shape as far as I can tell
it might seem like its windy but it`s not its the wind causing it
Makes me so excited for the refreshed Y. If we extrapolate the same 19.3% range improvement the Y LR should jump from 286 to 341 miles in the real world at 70mph.
Insane efficiency
Ha ha Kyle: "1% SOC ... not a beep not a chime - it thinks we can make it". Many you gotta suffer in our 1st gen Kia Soul EV - it's bonging and binging at us once we get down to 20% SOC or about 30km (20mi) of range left. Once you get below ~8km range left you get the display going to "--" and some other weird thing. We've never dared take it lower.
Got to imagine the Model 3 LR RWD will do 385 to 390 which is nuts
Almost 5 KwH is incredible. Right up there with the Lucid Air Pure.
Guys u have to compare the LG chem vs Panasonic chem batteries! It's so unfair that we in EU still have this not so great battery and Tesla has to see it and get some bad words for that and then maybe they will change the way they do stuff and everyone will get the best there is 🙂
We have both the 21 and the 24. Our experience is there is absolute zero difference in range between the two. So the result is a bit strange to me.
Did you get the LG or the Panasonic pack?
18” or 19” wheels?
@@anton_grahn LG
@@pepstein 18” on both. Michelin cross climate 2
@@GameOver556 That is likely the main reason why, only around 77kWh in the LG pack, 82kWh in the Panasonic
Love your videos ! I plan on my next brand new car being a Tesla thanks to educating me on EVs!
Great test. It should quell the fears of range anxiety. BTW how long did it take to recharge the cars and at what cost?
Efficiency is a variable in charging speed. If all things equal, a more efficient car recharges more mi/hr.
I have a 2023 Model 3 and find I'm almost always the fastest at superchargers and find the road tripping is impressive. However this is incredible and would love it for long trips! Of course charging should be better but this helps offset that so much
370 miles of range sounds good until you are driving across Texas and it's 400 miles to the next charger!
Lol, plenty of chargers in Texas. Just slow ones, tho.🫠
"Til I die" always makes me laugh.
I think one car was using cruise control lane keeping and one wasn’t. I notice in my new M3 this affects the consumption A LOT
Thanks a lot, as usual.
Thank you for this!
I did a littlest more checking and it is also possible that your ranges were very good partially due to altitude (lower air density = lower air resistance) particularly due to the fact that you were doing a highway comparison. Not sure what altitude you were at but some some basic calculations could increase range by up to 20% (highway only) sea level vs 5,000 altitude.
They do all their range tests on the same route at the same speed.
Watching this for third time today. This is so interesting.
