How Efficient is the NEW Tesla Model 3 Highland (SR)? A Real Range Test! 

You are right. The car is great

410 km, under 5 hour 20 minutes. It's not 120 km/h average speed. More like 80 km/h.

@@Handrasyou need to take into an account the traffic we were in , as well as stopping for bathroom brakes and coffee. 😊

Eibach lowering springs + e-primacy tires and you will get there my friend

Insane efficiency, first thing I noticed too...my EQE at best conditions could do 165-170, but this is NUUUTS

:D We are trying our best :)

It is 😊

We can’t wait to hear your feedback on the LE model :)

Now I did a real good test. In beginning of the week I drove to Stockholm from my hometown. The weather was absolutely horrible the whole way. Very heavy snow storm, strong winds and extremely slippery road conditions with heavy unplowed snowy highways. The stretch was 338 kilometers. The drive was effortless with very steady car. Although it was slippery as soap along the road i managed to stay around 100 - 120 km/h speed all the way. The consumption ended at average on 19.5 kWh/100 km... Really efficient especially under these road conditions. And the comfort and suspension are totally magic. It's equally quiet as my Volvo I drove before. Just love the car.@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets

so what range does that give you?

You are right and we are aware of it. Just we let the car do its thing and this is the end result 😊

And St. Pölten is a V2, max 150kW

Absolutely agree. We pushed it hard 😊

It is much more than what I can do on my 2021 Model 3 SR with 55kwh battery. I agree it is very good on a highway 🤩

This is a great idea. We should have some that 😅

Thank you for the support ❤

Congrats! It is a wonderful car :)

Great point

This is not a real WLTP range test tho, they even said in the video they pushed it to max speed in some parts. So preheating does not matter :) Its more a real world use range test

I know, we'll have to wait for Bjorn Nyland for a more nerdy test. My 2021 Model 3 RWD does about 120 Wh/km on the highway so I know this new one can even dip below that.@@rodrrrr

@@rodrrrr preheating always matters as it skews the results

Sorry to hear it. Ours also got pushed by 20 days or so. We were supposed to get it on the 5th, but we got it on the 27th

Thank you for your honest opinion. We really wanted to do something closer to an everyday drive for most people 😊

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets I totally understand and thanks for replying. I do range tests here in the UK with EVs and viewers who are really interested in ownership want to know what’s realistic. An ‘everyday’ drive to most can be very different, so anything short of worst possibly scenario becomes inaccurate for many. For example, If I drive from 100-0% state of battery at the motorway speed limit consistently, anything else like weather/temps is out of my control, but that’s worse case. I hope that makes sense? Keep up the great work. Love the fact you guys build your own stuff to improve the user experience! ✊

@@stuart_thomas thank you so freaking much! Your videos are awesome and people should watch them for sure 🙂

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgetsif I can help anyone out there in the EV space I will for sure. 👍

We are still learning. 🙂 thank you

18” tires? Airco/heat on? 100 km/h highway etc? What is a realistic range in sunmer and winter?

@@mennovanleeuwen If you are moderate with your acceleration behaviour, for a 2022 SR+ model 3 I would say you'll have at least 350km in winter and at least 400km in summer (highway + heat/airco). E.g. in summer, I did a full 450km all highway (Netherlands so 100km/h) with AC and 18"aero wheels.

@@tijldegroote4655 thanks. Wonder if the 2024 SR with 18” does even better but this is really good!

@@mennovanleeuwen yeah I'm curious what ranges you can push it too with the new LR !

My 2021 SR+ gets around 300 km if I drive 120 max and it’s peak summer. Never exceeded that so this is a pretty big improvement

Wow!!

You are right and as we stated, we do think the car is awesome and we love it. The thing is that someone puts a number on the website stating that a car, or a phone , or any other gadget will go X amount of hours / km of use, people expect that. It will be so much better if they put an actual average range. The numbers these days are so great so most people will not think twice if it will be enough from them. But unfortunately 515km sounds much better, even if there is a small star after it, indicating that there are rules coming with it 🙂

You're both right and wrong. Only the 19'' wheels version is WLTP certified. The WLTP cycle claims 514 km in that case. However the 18'' wheels version is not WLTP certified. And Tesla estimates the WLTP range to be 554 km for that version. The problem with the WLTP test is that the average speed during the test is only 46 km/h.

They went 410km in the video which is 255 miles on highway mostly in colder weather. Already better than current standard range M3. Imagine the efficiency of Highland M3 in warmer weather in the city/highway. Should be a range monster

120km/h is a lot faster then normal driving, this is really a big improvement compared to the old Tesla model 3.

@@JustDoinFlorida yes....I have model y rwd...after testing this...its incredible.....I was even achieving the amount on the dash that the car displays behind the percentage on 100kph open road driving....its impressive

🤣

Hi I appreciate your videos but please can you get rid of the annoying music? It's too loud and too repetitive. I want to know what your saying more clearly 🙏

real scary at those speeds!

This is a good question that we do not answer to. Maybe the community can help?

Good to know. We have video coming up to show the charge-graph from 0 to 100%. :)

You are absolutely right. We just wanted to do a real life scenario test 😊

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets yes, I definitely respect the real world test. However, the speeds you were doing are really only realistic in Germany. I don’t even hit those speeds Drag racing at the 1/4 mile track. If you do those speeds on the streets here in NC it will be go straight to jail and your car will be impounded. Also the rain you experienced at the beginning actually hurts efficiency almost as much as higher speeds. Pushing through standing water at higher speeds causes an enormous amount of drag on the car. I can’t wait for Kyle to eventually do his 70 mph range test. That will tell us a lot about the efficiency of the new Highland Model 3.

Hey can you please share how much the coasting feature improved your efficiency and what exactly it is? 207 wh/mi on performance is crazy. I have a 2022 LR and I rarely get below 240 wh/mi even with 45 psi tires going ~75 mph

Thank you ❤

Hey there. The gen2 Commander will not have much difference with the gen1 for 99% of the people. The main difference is for the model S/X users, as well as those that install the Commander at the front of their car , they’re then the back. Those will be able to see the desired ap speed as well as the speed limit signs.

No. There will not be any regeneration of the battery. You will solely use the actual brakes, not the motors

Vin number 7 if I’m not wrong. e = electric f = electric - lithium iron phosphate battery

@@brunomonteiro2744 Not sure how to read it , but ours is E7FS

Well, in the app is said that it is V3, but we noticed that the last 2 stalls were only v3. The rest were V2. :(

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets It usually says "250kW" max, meaning that the fastest charger present at the site is 250kW

It’s the S3XY buttons app. It comes with the Commander and the S3XY buttons. You can check it out on our website - enhauto.com

He did not like that our car cost 2 times less , yet has great range and performance 🤣

You should come with us next time ☺️

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets that would be amazing!

This is one of the first things we will look into doing 😊

Just touch the speedsign symbol. Sounds on/off

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets will there be a Black Friday deal for us, guys? 😎

@@BerGaMont925 😎

It has auto high beams. We just disable them via our Commander. It is the base model 😊

This is our S3XY App. It comes with our products that we develop for Tesla. You can check them out on enhauto.com

It’s our own app. It’s part of the S3XY dashboard inside the S3XY app. 🙂

Hehe. Thank you and don’t forget to ABC 😜 We were first going to a closer charging station and it was not warming up the battery as well. Something weird is going on , or we just don’t understand how the lfp works 😊

Will do it next week with our other model 3 😊

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets still no news of that video?

Same. 423. It is still great for a SR

That’s equivalent to 255 miles of range. My recent, but pre-Highland model started with 273 miles EPA range. Thanks.

No, its still the same LG battery for the LR

Exactly, what does it show guys

Now , after driving it for about 2k km , it says 443 km when charged on 100%

But we mainly were driving on highways , not so much in the cities

that's excellent! better than current range in the M3 SR's in North America!@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets

In May there will be a huge Tesla gathering there, so we will show a lot from Austria in general 😊

The thing is that we have never got over 38 degrees yet. We also expected more like 45, but after 6-7 stops for charging , most of the time the battery was between 32 and 38

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets I'm curious if there have been any programming changes by Tesla lately to lower the charge temperature. Your first preconditioning in the video did seem to stop early, but you did get your maximum 170 kW, so that's all you can ask for. I think both Bjorn and Kyle did separate freezing charging tests some time ago and Kyle also highlighted the incredible heat pump vs the resistive heater of the older models. I had a 2022 M3LR and currently have a 2023 M3 LFP which is the same powertrain as you have there. I'm in the States, so I will not be able to get the "refresh" model for a few months, but I will likely be one of the first and I've decided that LFP is the best way to go, especially since I don't need AWD here in Southern California. Thanks for the great content.

@@Techridr we will definitely do testing to learn more about it. Also we are sure that Bjorn will have great videos on it

400km and mainly driving on a highway is pretty good for most people. 😊

get LR you can do 500km , quite good at the speed of 120km/h

400km with highway speed is good!

A great qustion. Anyone?

On the China Tesla site, it says the range of Model S LR with 19" wheels is 715 km WLTP, and it says range of Highland Model 3 LR with 18" wheels is 713 km WLTP. About the same value for both of those.

Ya

This is our S3XY buttons app. It comes with our products

Deliveries started last week in Europe.

@@pauld3327 i see, thanks!

SR will be more than enough and due to that is has the LFP technology, you can charge it to 100% which you cannot (should not ) do on the LR models, since that will speed up its degradation

It's ironic that this Model 3 IS a product of China, it's just from an American company lol.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are trying to not disappoint 😊

He didn’t like us

Well, all car manufacturers are showing a WLTP range, which to be honest, we have no idea how they mesre it, but it is never real. But our car shows around 422km when charged on 100% and we get between 380 and 410 every time. Considering that is is already cold in Europe, it is not a bad range for a SR mode.

You get 500km with more mixed driving. Mix in some shopping trips and you're there. 400km highway out of a sub 60kwh pack is really great.

Well, no idea how they come up with this numbers , but there is no way a person can get over 440

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets May be this will not be big if it is sommer time. The range is most of the time the same as WLTP or higher in sommer and 20-30% lower in winter

True. He was not happy with us 😅

not true, instant torque still

@@YamaGory thank you so much!

Not release. The car had a good power even on 1% battery. But bare in mind that this is the SR model

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets I know. Kyle drove the Long Range and he was talking about the delay. But I cannot imagine the Long Range with a delay and the standard range without it.

The Peformance Tesla versions have 0 delay. I have driven with e-tron Audis, they almost feel like ice cars with huge lag- delay after hitting the throttle.

Thank you for the feedback. We are not the best at this stuff but we will do better next time 😊

Very annoying music!

@@bernhardleopold6702 after releasing the video and watching it over, we agree :) :(

The problem is that the car did not start the preconditioning cycle at all during the second leg. But we will investigate mere 😊

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets Perhaps because it estimated only 1% arriving at the supercharger?

It it did the same for the charger that we were navigating prior before changing the locations even tho we were supposed to be there at 16% soc. it’s weird

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets allright I get it :)

Highland has the same battery than the previous Model. 60 kWh

Yep, it’s the same

It does , but we will do a comparison with the sr 2019 and 2022 model so we have an idea how similar they are

I want to see 2023 versus 2024.. I think it's clear the 2024 is a massive improvement from 2019@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets

Can’t wait for you to get it. It is a wonderful car

Agree. Not sure how much but they do

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets Question… could I use one of your buttons to raise model s suspension to very high with persist until 15mph enabled? This is the worst part about road trips in a model s fussing through the menus while trying to drive over a high curb or dirt road.

This issue is someone solved with the LFP batter, especially during winter. The cars after 2021 have heat pumps, so the battery does not drain that fast.

@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets guys this is not true. I watched another video about LFP battery and the guy told that the reason to charge it 100% is to get better measure of the remaining range. The battery will still degrade faster if you will charge to 100% every time, so still 80% is preferable, even with LFP. I see many reviewers are repeating this error that charging to 100% will not affect LFP range....

@@gileneuszLfp degrades about 4 times slower because the cell voltage is lower! This is why it can be kept at 100% SOC without degrading as fast. Should also have 3-4x lifespan and does not catch fire when punctured. Downsides are lower power output compared to NMC.

It will be sick
