I Tested Tesla Battery Range Lies 

You need to read up on what those EPA rated range numbers mean. Your car will achieve its EPA rated range - for as long as you drive the way the Model 3 was driven during EPA range testing. No lying going on here. "Do yer reesurchhh."

Battery miles are not the same thing as road miles. Range is affected by many factors, including vehicle speed, terrain, wind, tire pressure, tire choice, outside temperature, and more. EPA range testing is done under very specific conditions, and it's unlikely that you will be matching those conditions exactly. Gasoline cars are affected by these same factors, but drivers are less aware of range because there is not an accurate way to measure gasoline consumption. The best way to measure an EV's energy consumption is to look at the average consumption in watt hours/mile.

Rated range is in EPA cycle not Tesla made up range. Its about 50 mph test not highway range.

range estimates are calculated assuming 65 mph. If you speed, you get less range, just like in a gas car. AT 75 mph you should get about 33% less range than at 65 mph. Range drops by the square of the speed, so 85 mph vs 65 mph is a 70% drop in range. This is mostly due to air drag. I also suggest following the Tesla advice about directions and charging, since it takes into account how busy the superchargers are, temperature, battery state, traffic, etc.

1. Tesla is not lying. Range is set by the EPA. 2. Range is a mix of highway and city driving, not only highway. 3. Temperature, speed, wind, elevation, rain, snow, battery age, all have some effect on range.

Been driving a 2021 m3 and I find it to be spot on except in the winter. Just yesterday I had my first scare and was fighting record winds which killed my range 10% more than expected and I arrived with -5% so there is a life saving amount of backup in there beyond the projection

I could now point out the many things you did wrong, but why bother. You're just gonna ignore me just like you ignore the people who say you should lose weight or stop wearing sweatpants. bye.

What vlogging camera do you use? And do you use an external mic?

So it came to you as suprise that the faster you go the less actual range you get?

I dont usually comment. But i got my 85d in march 2015. What speeds are you driving? I still get very close to the rated range in summer?? Speed equals more wind resistance? Its logic for everyone?

Yes. If I ever got an electric car it would be for local commuting only and I'd have a second car that I would use for road trips, or even just rent a car for those. That was a big reason people criticized them in the early days, range anxiety. Turns out they were right, but if you only drive them locally they're better than expected there. Also, I think when they rate their range they do so at much slower speeds than even the 70 mph you were travelling. Probably 55-60 mph if I had to guess. You might even be able to save yourself time that way because that would mean fewer stops. Even though you're travelling at a lower rate of speed, you get farther between fill ups so it's offset significantly by less time waiting to charge and driving to and from the charging station. It would be an interesting experiment to see how that pans out. Seems like your range is absolutely horrible thoughy, to the point I'm questioning whether something about your car is in disrepair. I'm no expert though.

I have been driving a model 3 for only a few weeks now and my estimates are pretty good and it tells you exactly how to change your driving behavior to get better range. I am assuming that the EPA range is based on 65mph on the highway and not using any heating or cooling. Going 70mph will reduce your range by like 2% I think. When the speed limit is 70, there isn't really a way around that. But at least the car knew when you needed to stop to charge and didn't leave you stranded. When a gas light comes on in the car, you have no clue if you have 20miles or 50miles of range left. I have ran out of gas many times over the years.

Set it to percentage; problem solved.

The claimed range is based on the idea that you are going at something like 50mph. 75mph has probably about 2x as much air resistance.

It's not a lie.. Just not "real world".. Drive 55mph on the flat roads of Iowa in the early fall Eastbound with a tailwind.. You might get better than advertised range.. See, NOT A LIE.. They've already developed a Tesla with nearly UNLIMITED range on a single charge!! I think it's orbiting Mars right now...

Rated range is at around 55mph

Lol. This is common knowledge and same goes for most EV brands, not just Tesla.

Hopefully you'll tell what mattress you used in the back. You looked comfy.

Bucees!! This will literally be life when the m3 arrives. Thanks for the video

Not hating on EV’s. But they’re just not for long trips. At least not yet. Your life/time revolves around the car. It should be the other way around🤷‍♂️

You don’t have to use the world “literally” in every single sentence 😩

This shows battery cars are not the future .

Have to be realistic. I mean it it trash as far as the mileage but......tesla is NO different the ICE cars epa mileage. My Honda says 36 mpg hwy. And i never get 36 mpg hwy at all. But no ones making complaint videos. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

with that level of constant anxiety why not just get a regular car.....what a pain

so funny reading all the butthurt tesla fanboy comments

First

teslas are super dumb lol

7:55 grab a salad

u need better editing
