Well this was interesting!
I’ve recently been driving the latest Model 3 Standard Plus ( previously known as SR+ ) and it’s remarkably efficient. In the real world I don’t think it can be too far off the bigger battery Longe Range and Performance models for range.
But there’s only one way to see. Drive them side by side in convoy at the same time on the same roads at the same speed!
LFP can be charged to 100% daily compared to the others 90%. It looks like this then equates to the same range! The others only gaining if you charge to trip level.
It’s a cold day including rain sleet and snow but we set off and head for Rugby Services.
We measure their efficiency both with and without supercharging pre-heating. We then work out pro rata range for each.
And yes we checked all tyre pressures. And yes we swapped the order of the cars in convoy to ensure no aero advantages.
Then we can map the charging profile for each car. How long will it take to add 100miles, 150miles and also replenish all that was used to get there?
I found it interesting and I hope you do too.

For me the LFP battery is a game changer. It can be 100 percent charged every time, is more rugged, degrades less quickly than the other type batteries, contains fewer of the precious materials, able to receive twice as many charge cycles in its life time. Yes it is heavier for a given capacity but yet again Tesla have shown the way forward.

@buzzofftoxicblog791 2 года назад

Agree exciting times ahead 😀

@guybrushthreepwood3002 2 года назад

Also affected by cold weather more too, do nothing for range, and will only be offered in standard range vehicles. The main reason for the switch is profit margins as they are cheaper. Because of their weight, they'll be kept ro shorter range vehicles. They are also not exclusive to Tesla, and you can expect them in ither standard range vehicles in the future. Great that battery tech is moving forward though, the real jump forward will be the Panasonic 4680 cylindrical battery, which can store 5 times as much power as current Teslas can.

@marcusbiller867 2 года назад

LFPs degrade when excessively charged to 100% too. Not as bad as Li Ion, but quite a lot, do your research. The only reason Tesla is suggesting to charge to 100% is so that the BMS knows where is up and down. On LFP, anything below 90% and above 10% is almost exactly the same voltage so unless you do 10-100% charges the BMS is screwed. But 100% is not good for LFPs either. Also, even at 100% charging and almost all DC charging you can still expect maximum 10-12% degradation on Li Ion after 150-200,000km, which is more than most people do in the lifetime of the car... Maybe 5% on LFP, not a difference there.

Terrific video and comparison! Love my 2021 M3 SR+ and have found it to be a very road worthy family (2 adults, 2 teenage boys) vehicle during the 9months / 10,000 miles I’ve driven it. It’s been on a few round trips of 1,000-1,200 miles. I’ve got a spring trip from California to Kentucky (~2,500 miles one way) coming up and I’m very excited to see how the car performs. Thanks for the great work and enduring freezing cold! Stay warm.

Another great video. I understand the value of the LFP batteries being able to charge to 100% on a daily basis, but a journey like this for me would be a proper road trip where I would charge my LR AWD M3 to 100% . So it would be good to see the comparison with 100% charge in all cars. Maybe a journey of 275 miles including charging .

@ouethojlkjn 2 года назад

Excellent episode! I would add that if a driver was attempting a long - one or more stop to supercharge journey - you might at least start off from home with 100%. So the Lon Range may get another 30 miles before needing to stop (or get away from the charger earlier) and similarly for the Intercooled Turbo. I mean Performance. However, if you don't care for spleen shattering acceleration and can do without an active sub and front fogs then the "base model" with heated steering wheel, electric boot lid makes a compelling package for the price.

@bigdougscommentary5719 2 года назад

Really appreciate your methodology used to make the video content. So many RU-vidrs do these comparisons utilizing sequential testing instead of parallel testing. This is particularly erroneous when comparing different manufacturers’ models. Thank.

@ericvet8b 2 года назад

Great video again. It shows how good the SR is. Although saying that I have a MIC LR on 18” standard wheels with aero covers. Would be interesting to find out what the LR on 18s would have got compared to 19”s… And did you take into consideration degradation? (Or very similar mileage in 3 cars?). And those total ranges on P and LR.. based on the 90%? As if I was going to do a 200m trip, especially in winter, would charge to 100%… Thanks again! Keep at it!! 👍👍

I have a 2019 Model 3 SR+ with 45,000km on the clock running 19s and full charge too 100% gets me 353km on the dash which it never does anyway unless driving like miss daisy. Be good to see a comparison of maybe 3 of the same eg early SR+ 2018/9 and then a 2020 and then a MIC with the latest battery pack. Mix it up with a high mileage one for variety. Great stuff as always, your a blessing to the EV world.

@sybaseguru 2 года назад

Great test. Time to add miles is the only recharge metric that matters. Its the one I care about - how long to recharge to do another 2+ hrs of driving on a nearly empty battery - in winter. My SR+ is 25mins - just time for a coffee and a pee.

@josepablomolinacarrillo3621 2 года назад

@twotone3871 2 года назад

Another great analysis RSymons. But I guess the results are as expected. Basically, all Model 3s are rear wheel drive. The dual motor M3s have front wheel traction control and do not drive the front wheels unless the rears slip. The dual motors are heavier so would be slightly less efficient that the rear wheel only drive. The driving conditions were quite benign and wouldn't have engaged traction control at all, so the front motors never drew any power - only if preconditioning was turned on prior to supercharging. Congratulations win the success of the channel.

@patrickscarventures6508 2 года назад

Great video! I do like that the SR can be charged to 100%. I think that that makes it a decent purchase. Part of me is thinking of buying another SR+ with LFP just so I would have less range anxiety with daily commutes. I have a LR on order after selling our SR+

@jonathansmith5850 2 года назад

Yet again I'm so impressed with the efficiency of that new Standard Range battery, esp in the cold temperatures you drove in. It is such good value for money. Almost makes it worth considering instead of the long range even if you can afford the long range, esp for 7-8k less............

@Bubblegummonsters 2 года назад

Thanks for this, found it very useful. I own a M3P 2019 plate so it doesn't have the slightly bigger battery or heat pump. But I was actually pleasently surprised that the distances I get in the winter aren't too far off what your M3P gets in the winter. I think realistically I get about 200 miles now when it's freezing outside but then my battery also now only shows about 280 to 286 miles when fully charged due to my 30,000 miles on the clock . In the summer I can just about manage 230 and if Im drving very carefully aroundf 240. Would be great to see a comparision between the old and new to see what data you discover.

I ordered the M3LR mainly for the AWD - the larger battery was just a bonus although given the distances in Australia, it will undoubtedly be very handy for longer trips. Cheers and thanks for all your efforts to help educate us.

@--Nath-- 2 года назад

I'm in Oz and got the M3LR - it's great (if you have the extra cash for the LR) - although the extra juice in reserve is for running the aircon in summer (this zero degrees stuff is fairly irrelevant when there are more real world 30-40 or more degree days..). The SR+ would also be fine - just would spend a bit more time at super chargers, but boy they are quick.. a bit too quick sometimes!

@DarkDiyosa 9 месяцев назад

Omg! Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been debating on which one to get wether the LR or the standard but I wasn’t sure if the LR was worth it if you didn’t really get the mileage they claim you’ll get and I see that you don’t if it’s not technically at 100% charge. This was very helpful in my decision thank you again.

@sebstott3573 2 года назад

I wish people would more often quote time to add 100 miles of range. Time from 10-80% penalizes large batteries and doesn't take into account efficiency. It also gives a sense of what a road trip would look like if you were trying to reach the destination as quickly as possible (short charges keeping the battery under 70%).

@gbw28 Год назад

Even spending about 23 mins to add 150 miles is completely acceptable to me.

I like your test methods. Do you also rotate who's in the lead so that all the cars experience the same amount of drafting which has significant effects even at normal highway spacing. Bjorn Nyland runs a lot of tests but conditions aren't standardized. Temperature, wind, rain have large effects.

Hello, this is the best video to compare! Thanks. Can you do the same for LFP Model Y vs LR/ Performance? (Especially the 90percent vs 100% start is a good real world comparison to use again, what I liked) My old Model 3 SR non LFP also already has -13% capacity, so I'd add more degradation 5/10% after 1-3y for non LFP also

Also, is there any benefit to charging to 50% instead of 90% for the traditional (non LiPo) batteries?

The car might look a bit better with 19¨ ones but it is not worth it. You get a more comfy ride and a bit more range with smaller wheels. Great review, it was done properly. Kudos.
