A Tesla owner has demonstrated the impressive real-world capabilities of the Model 3 Long Range Rear Wheel Drive (RWD), successfully driving 408 miles on a single charge. A significant leap beyond the vehicle’s EPA-estimated range of 363 miles.
The remarkable achievement was documented by Tesla owner @dkrasniy, who shared post-trip statistics showing an impressively efficient average consumption of 184 Wh/mi.
While this suggests a particularly conservative driving style, the accomplishment highlights the Model 3’s potential for extended range.
This isn’t an isolated incident of Tesla vehicles exceeding their rated range. In a previous test by YouTube channel Out of Spec Studios, the Model 3 Long Range AWD model surpassed its EPA-estimated 341-mile range by traveling 370 miles at a consistent 70 mph.
Channel host Kyle Conner emphasized the vehicle’s performance, noting that the new model went 60 miles further than its predecessor in a side-by-side comparison.
Positioned as Tesla’s most affordable vehicle, the Model 3 Long Range RWD offers an attractive entry point into premium electric vehicle ownership.
Its exceptional efficiency and range capabilities make it an increasingly compelling option for potential EV buyers, proving that budget-friendly doesn’t mean compromising on performance.
The repeated instances of Tesla models outperforming their official range ratings continue to challenge expectations and showcase the ongoing improvements in electric vehicle technology.
