CEO Elon Musk congratulated the Tesla team after the Model 3 got 350 miles of range on a single charge in a new test on range mode. Our tested Tesla Model 3 matched the 310-mile range the EPA had pegged it at, and in Long Range mode we achieved 350 miles.
But with A W D Tesla, you now have a choice running the smaller FWD motor with less rated torque). So In range mode, front motor is used almost 100% of the time when speed is steady or using a slow acceleration. When pressing hard, the car goes back to 50/50 power distribution.
Tesla Range Tips to extend efficiency and maximize battery life on your Tesla EVUse the in-car Energy App. Avoid frequent and rapid acceleration. Consider using Chill Mode. Use autopilot for long journeys. Use Regenerative braking. Switch on “Speed assist” Activate Range Mode. Maintain tyre pressures.
Yes, the Tesla Model 3 will get 'Ludicrous' Mode.

The official WLTP driving range for the Tesla Model 3 Long Range is as much as 360 miles on a charge, which is aided by strong brake energy recuperation, capable of 'one-pedal' driving.
310 miles (499 km) is the farthest we've been able to drive any of the vehicles we've tested in the InsideEVs 70-mph range tests, beating out the RWD Porsche Taycan that Kyle Conner was able to drive 293 miles (472 km) on his highway test.
Range mode "on" does not actively heat the battery with the battery heater, it merely allows the battery to operate at a higher temperature ( 40 degrees C instead of 30) before using energy to cool it. Range mode "off" allows the battery heater to come on, if needed, below about 8 degrees C.
In more recent years, there is no longer an add-on option for Ludicrous Mode. Why? Tesla started making Ludicrous Mode a standard feature on their Performance cars. The best recorded times as of 2020 for the Model S Performance are 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds and 10.6 seconds to the quarter mile.
To activate, the driver must depress the brake pedal while pushing on the accelerator pedal. When the battery has reached its optimum temperature, the driver releases the brake pedal for instant and maximum thrust. Tesla discourages drivers from operating in Ludicrous Plus Mode for extended periods.
You can do other things like tow-hitch, spoilers, etc after purchase. However, you cannot do upgrades like Long Range to Performance after purchase - that is tied to the battery and motor machinery.
Supercharging is best reserved for long-distance travel. One should not consider Supercharging for their daily charging needs since daily Supercharging will reduce the life of the battery. Additionally, it's both cheaper and more convenient to charge up at home.
As it keeps slowing down to around 15mph, your Tesla will notify you that it won't be able to drive soon, and finally, it comes to a stop and puts itself into parking. At this point, you'll need to call roadside assistance or a tow truck to get you to the nearest charging station.
Tesla Home Charging Time For most Teslas, it only takes about an hour to charge from 40% to 80% on a 220V system, but another two hours to go from 80% to 100%.
Logging 320 miles at 75 mph puts the Model S's range on par with that of some gas-powered cars. In our highway fuel-economy testing, a Tesla Model S Long Range Plus went 320 miles at an average speed of 75 mph. This is the first EV that's broken the 300-mile barrier in our range testing.
It is normal for estimated range to decrease slightly over the first few months before leveling off. Over time, you may see a gradual, but natural, decrease in range at full charge – this depends on factors such as Supercharging regularly or the mileage and age of the battery.

In 2017-2019, as Tesla started dropping battery size options out of the lineup, Ludicrous Mode could only be found on the Model S and X versions of the P90D and P100D. Tesla started making Ludicrous Mode a standard feature on their Performance cars.
The new batteries in Teslas cram more cells into the same space as they had in previous years, which results in longer ranges and more power. The higher energy density delivered results in a faster car.
The 2020 Tesla Model 3 is the most luxurious American compact car. While the Model 3 is the top American luxury compact car, it is fifth on Consumer Reports' list of luxury compact cars. Coming in ahead of it are the 2021 Audi A4, 2021 Infiniti Q50, 2021 BMW 3 Series, and 2021 Volkswagen Arteon.
There, the Lamborghini Urus accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds (3.0 seconds with a 1-foot rollout) and passes the quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds at 118.6 mph. The Tesla's 0-60 sprint is slower, at 3.7 seconds (3.4 seconds with a 1-foot rollout), as is the quarter-mile result, at 11.8 seconds at 115.6 mph.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life Upgrading to the Long Range or Performance models increase the Model 3's estimated range to 315 miles for the Performance and an impressive 358 for the Long Range. Of course, this distance isn't easy to achieve, as we've found in our long-term Long Range Model 3 test vehicle.

You can supercharge the car as often as you need to. On road trips I've charged 3–4 times a day for a week. As many times as needed.
Daily / frequent supercharging is the LAST thing you want to do if you have access to regular charging methods. Frequent supercharging will over time result in slow but steady battery degradation. Friend of mine at Tesla says the engineers tell him the batteries when charged on 240V around 20A "will never fail".
Recently, I've watched some videos in Tiktok about Tesla and I found that many Tesla owners tap the back light of their Tesla 4 to 5 times before charging. Why do they do that? Simply - that's one way to open the charging port door. It's hidden behind a panel that looks like part of the drivers' side tail light.
So far in 2021, more people in the US are buying Teslas than Mercedes-Benzes. Elon Musk's automaker racked up 230,855 vehicle registrations in the US through September of this year, almost 20,000 more than Mercedes-Benz's 213,708, according to Experian data reported by Automotive News.
Which One is Right for Me? In every way that likely matters to electric car buyers, the 2021 Tesla Model Y is the clear winner here, with significantly longer range, better fuel economy, and in practical terms, more cargo space. It's also significantly cheaper than the 2021 Audi e-tron.
Yes. You can plug any Tesla into a 220 (240VAC) outlet to charge the EV.

The phrase “Plaid Mode” is a reference to the 1987 comedy movie Spaceballs starring Mel Brooks. “Why make this really fast car that's crazy fast?” Musk, dressed in a leather jacket and black jeans, said after driving one of the cars onstage. We've gotta show that an electric car is the best car, hands down.”

Last year, Tesla released a paid acceleration boost upgrade for the Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range, dropping its 0-60 mph time down to 3.9 seconds from 4.4. This $2,000 upgrade offers customers an opportunity to significantly increase acceleration of the Long Rang variant—to 3.7s—at a modest price.
When this mode is on, less energy is used when heating or cooling the cabin. When turned on in an All-Wheel Drive car, torque distribution between the motors is optimized to maximize range. You can turn on this setting through Controls > Driving > Range Mode.
Musk has admitted he absolutely loves the Porsche 911, considering it one of his favorite cars of all time. Considering Porsche has tried taking aim at Tesla with the Taycan electric car, we're not sure if everyone at the German automaker feels the same way about him.
It has a maximum speed of 212 mph and gets from 0 to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds. Realistically speaking, the McLaren is one of the faster cars on the road these days. The Tesla Model S Plaid is a tri-motor all-wheel drive electric vehicle. It gets from 0-60 mph in 1.99 seconds and has 1,020 hp at peak power.
Additional tips for maximizing Tesla rangeMaintain even tire pressure – Tesla recommends between 42-45 PSI (cold), depending on the model.Travel light – remove unnecessary cargo whenever possible. Disable features you don't need or aren't using, e.g. Sentry Mode, Cabin Overheat Protection, etc.
If you purchased Full Self-Driving capability and have Autopilot computer 2.0 or 2.5, you are eligible for a complimentary upgrade to FSD computer. Schedule your installation from the Tesla app by selecting 'Schedule Service' > 'Accessories' > 'Upgrades & Accessories' > 'Full Self-Driving computer. '
If you'd like to view their graves and pay your respects, it's easy to do. Desert Memorial Park is open daily, and can be accessed from either Ramon Road or Da Val Drive in Cathedral City. While the cemetery is not what you'd call lush or particularly beautiful, it does hold several graves of note.
Frank Sinatra was one of the most famous baritones of all time. Sinatra had a voice that was so highly unique and identifiable that he became incredibly famous and his music still maintains popularity today.
Seeing the single inside singular can help you understand its meaning in the sense of one. In grammar, singular means one, as opposed to plural, which means more than one. But singular's not always––or singularly––about being unique.
