Range test

Tesla Model 3

RWD Highland

The Tesla Model 3 RWD Highland is the most efficient car in the range tests, using just 114 Wh/km at 90 km/h and 154 Wh/km at 120 km/h. Despite light rain, its roughly 57 kWh LFP battery was enough for 499 km at 90 km/h, and it out-coasted the Hyundai Ioniq and VW ID.3. Even the cheapest Model 3 keeps the comfortable ride and improved soundproofing, and its reduced sound system earned seven out of ten. On this evidence, Tesla is still ahead of legacy carmakers on efficiency.
