2023 Model 3 Range Test! How Far Can the Standard Range RWD Go in Ideal Conditions? 

Thank you for making good videos. I like the mixture of different EV’s that you showcase. Looking forward to your upcoming videos. Appreciate you.

Great info/video, thanks a million!!

Another great video thanks

Thanks for the video, very informative

Good info here, thanks from another Midwesterner - drive to Chicago several times per month and also have the 2023 RWD but with 18's.

Great video as always😊

I love a good road trip and will be getting my Tesla in the next week or so, it will be a SRRWD so this was really interesting to me... looking forward to taking my first Tesla road trip! This video was well done with lots of good information. One suggestion though, when you are on the parts where you are just driving and burning kilowatts in addition to showing the car's display also add a bit of what you are seeing through the windshield.

Great video and information. Sub’d.

Awesome! Thanks for great test run. I have same car mostly (red, 19” wheels). I thought usable battery was 54.5 kWh. Interesting. 160 miles in stonking cold, 230 in very nice. Cool. Might be good to flip over and see tire pressure.

I never bought a car based on the range. They only time I focused on it when I found out that my corvette was getting 27mpg on the highway with cruise on 70. Now married with children we have a MYp and never worry about range. We have been to a supercharger once just to see how it worked. Here in Thailand we get to our favorite vacation spot easily from a charge at home and visit a slow charger while down in Hua Hin. Range is not a worry these days.

Is love to see a review the Bolt EUV with super cruise if possible. Thanks for the video

Picking mine up tomorrow! 41k for midnight silver. After the 7.5k it brings the total price down to 33.5k. Can’t beat that for an EV with the best charging infrastructure on the market.

Picked one up today. My third model 3. Decided to get the standard range , blue with 19” wheels and white interiors for $41300. After putting 7500 down, upfront from next year, I’m at 33,800 for a brand new model 3z. I loved our performance and AWD LR models, but can’t beat a Tesla for 30k plus wheels and blue and interior. Too good to pass up

Just remember you don’t have 60 kWh usable. It’s about 57 kWh. The new LR don’t get the LFP battery. Great video and glad you did the 75 mph range test.

And don't forget, as they build more superchargers, range becomes even less of a problem. Once there's charging off basically every exit like gas stations are now, nobody will care about range in EVs.

Wow, that's great range for SR model going at 75mph.... so efficient this EV.

I am seriously considering grtting a Model 3 and I am glad you opted to go 75 M.P.H This has been informative.

Thanks for the info! I am looking to purchase a model 3 but wasn’t sure if I wanted to go with the long range to the standard.

Hey Joe, first of all thanks a lot for the informative and enjoyable content. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Bjorn's content, but he runs those cars until they literally stop. 0% is not really 0% here. there's another 25-30 miles to go past zero. The main caveat is the LFP battery doesn't give you a lot of warning before it really dies. He solves it with extra batteries in the trunk. Bottom line of all of this is your 228 miles is probably 250 miles before the car actually stops...

Joe, are you going to put winter tires on it in the coming months? I don’t think you’ve had this over a winter yet, but I’m thinking about getting one. The winter driving is my only reservation. Thanks for your videos😊

Going to get a Long Range used one for under $25k to qualify for the $4k credit. Hoping the mileage isn’t wildly exaggerated

21:10 Long range use LFP. How did you get the information?

That supercharger station was full now with only Tesla vehicles allowed to use it. Imagine what it’s going to be like after they start allowing other makes of ev to charge there.

also to add: turn off sentry mode for more efficient range. This drains the battery too. But using A/C doesn't use much. love your vlog. We were waiting for someone to do this with a standard range.

Getting over 4miles/kwhr at 75mph is very good. This looks like a 300 mile vehicle on mixed journeys. I like that the LFP battery means you can just leave it to charge to 100% overnight, so you have 250-300 miles ready and waiting every morning. Drivers of ICE cars don't realise how great that is. In most day-to-day cases you never need to visit a Supercharger .... and definitely not a dirty, smelly, Gas Station.

Halo I have a question I just bought a tesla model 3 2023 I did 100%fully charged in a only got 170 mile range do you think it has a battery problem please 🙏 advise

Midwesterner here, about 160 miles from CHC and drive 88 all the time. Picking up our M3 next week in Bloomington. A couple of questions. Did you use the phone charger, apps, music, auto pilot? Or I guess the question is what did you shut off to conserve draining the battery?

I have Model 3 2022 same one full it charge I won’t go more than 120 miles & it dies, is there issue with car or battery 🪫 & does it still have factory warranty I’m new to Tesla but disappointed at this point any help would be really helpful thank you 🙏

M3 both LR and SR is more true to the stated range than the Y which was awful and gave me range anxiety. All the elements wind, inclines, speed, load, can decrease range on the Y a lot. ie too many charge stops needed on road trips compared to the 3. I liked SUVs over sedans but switched to the 3 for the better accuracy in range and its a smoother drive with the small wheels. I did not like the Y with the Gemini wheels, because of unpredictable range and bumpy ride too.

You will probably get 245-250mi if you drive closer to the speed limit (65-70mph)

Did you set your destination to the Super charger this time? If not the range would have been about 4-8% less. Most of my trips show much higher energy usage due to preconditioning.

How old was the car (mileage) when you did the test? Nevermind, I just saw the odometer on the screen (11, 500 + miles). Any idea what the range may have been when the car was NEW?

How sure are you the the new M3LR uses LFP batteries also?

I only drive in the city, at speeds of 35 to 40 most of the time, so I would like to know what the range is on a Tesla in city driving at those speeds. From 100% charge down to 10% charge. In warm weather, of 70 to 75 degrees or so. And I am in East Peoria Illinois, so I am only a few hours drive from you. People complain about the range on EV cars, which to me is ridiculous. when the average American only drives 37 miles a day. I am below average, I only drive about 10 miles a day. Last month I drove 280 miles, that is 70 miles a week. So an EV car with a range of 240 miles would last me almost a month, on one charge. That is great to me, and I would only need to charge it once a month.

Wish i jumped on a lfp when they offered the full 7500🙄

What kind of range would you get if you were only going say, 65 mph? My Kia Niro EV that is rated for 239 miles actually gets close to 300 on road trips in summer when going 60-65 mph.... would the Tesla exceed its EPA estimate as well at that lower speed?

Would you recommend the RWD for winter driving? I live in IN

Where can I get the sunglasses? Brand and model pls 😀

My only regret about the model 3 RWD standard range is that they already have confirmed a 250kWh charging capable BYD battery that can keep peak charge rates for 50% of SoC This means 0-50% or 165 miles of the total 330 miles in 6minutes. This is actually faster than going to a gas station now. And we are so close to this reality that we can almost taste it. But we currently have to sit 15-30min to get similar charges currently… My future self should have waited for the 330 mile model y dual motor with BYD blade batteries and HW4.

why does Tesla autopilot loiter in the passing lane?

How well does the AC work, were we live our temps go from 95 to 115 with relative humidity of 33% once it gets over 107 most AC will fail, how is the Tesla AC system?

Maybe I missed it but did this car have 18" with Aero covers installed for the test?

"Range anxiety" is a good thing. Keeping your sphincter clenched worrying about it keeps Tesla drivers alert. 😅😅😅

I have a 2023 model 3 standard range RWD 3k Miles, i get a max of 160 miles on a full range with baby driving, could something be wrong with my battery? It’s in 80F degree weather, nothing crazy .

Getting a EV in Chicago, really smart! Lol charge to 100% and get 160 miles????

I just got a model 3 2021 and it won't charge more than 240 miles. is that normal?

How do you like the car so far? Do you have any concern about this car being RWD? (Living in Chicagoland)

266 for a 2023?? Mine is 277 miles

You just sold me on a model 3 sr

Lucid

Don't forget the insane registration fee! Lol How are the gas savings now??? Lol

232 mi it’s kind of disappointing since it’s summer, for winter range it might be under 190mi for car which was advertised as 267-272mi

The range is 500 miles saved you watching the video

242kw per mile is terrible. I could get 225 wth my performance model

I thought charging to 100% is bad for the battery
