2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance 70-MPH Highway Range Test

[@jeffreyspencer4005]

A kind thing to do, Kyle. I can't image that most of us who own EV's are even remotely impacted financially by giving someone $10 worth of electricity. But it certainly was a positive impact for the woman driving the Leaf. So, way to go. A little kindness goes a long way, and one never knows when "the shoe might be on the other foot."

Yep glad he could help her. I only wonder how much more prevalent this is going to become as the masses start to adopt more and more EVs. I don’t remember who it was, though I think it was Engineering Explained who brought up a “grandma test” or if you would feel comfortable sticking your grandma into a car and trusting her to get from point A to point B. How many EVs would that apply to right now? At this point the majority of EV owners are still “early adopters” and are much more knowledgeable about EVs and charging stations, but as more people start to adopt them the more average joes you’ll get having these problems. Everything from different apps and cards to malfunctioning chargers and levels of EV charging, I just wonder how many EVs would pass the grandma test. And at this point it’s really just the supercharger network that I could feel comfortable putting my parents or grandparents into and trusting they’ll arrive at their destination right now. Companies need to stop requiring different apps to use their chargers. They need to invest more upkeep in existing chargers. They need to make it more readily apparent what speed/level a charger charges at. I’m a huge proponent of EVs but rushing into it without having the existing infrastructure is just a recipe for disaster

[@leebr2010]

@@philorgneopolotin8762 I think Tesla supercharging would pass the grandma test. There's literally nothing to do except to plug it in. A lot of older folks don't even know what apps to launch, what to do if apps don't work, or ask you to log in, or if the cell signal is spotty. This is one of the biggest selling point of Teslas. It just works.

Good timing on being there to help her out! I had a similar experience on my first Tesla road trip a couple months ago- I was at the Grove City PA SC at around midnight, and saw a white Model Y circling around the stores adjacent. I went in to use the rest room and only needed about 5 min of charge to get to my destination. When I came back out, the Y was parked next to me, and there was an older lady standing by my car and she asked if it was mine- I figured she had backed into my car or something- but it turned out her and her husband had been stranded there for about 4 hours. They were driving from Toronto, Canada to Miami, FL to help out her daughter with the delivery of the new-to-them Model Y- unfortunately it had been under free supercharging so they assumed it always charged for free- they had one free stop after they entered the US, but when they got to Grove City it was back to paid charging. However they couldn't figure out how to activate the SC charging. Thankfully they had dealer paperwork and temporary tags that I was able to help them set up a new Tesla account and get into the automated account switching system and Tesla's systems approved the car for their account and they were then able to charge- but they were in a really tough spot. It was a cold night, they had about 3% left, and all the hotels were now out of their range. I was glad to be able to get them up and running- I'm glad to not have to deal with the card dip/swipe/scan of CCS/Chademo chargers, but in that moment, not being able to add a CC to the Tesla car system itself was a huge issue. I left at around 2:30am by the time I got them charging.

Ah yeah, the famed gas grifters. Pretty weird encounter, I had it figured we'd just wind up with more who just get by via plugging into random unguarded wall outlets to get free electricity. At least the story is more believable with an old generation leaf, they are cheap and some of them have suffered pretty bad battery degradation so it's not inconceivable that she actually just bought what she could afford and had a run of bad luck.

[@nettlesoup]

Kyle, you're a champ for helping the lady out. I had a similar experience a few years ago turning up to a motorway services one evening. In those days there was only one charger. A lady was already parked in a LEAF but on the phone, obviously in distress and desperately trying to get help. Long story short, I tapped my RFID card to start her charge. Then she offered to buy me coffee in the services and talked about how she was on her way to visit family and the LEAF was a loaner car for a few days from the dealer to see how she liked it. They hadn't given her any advice about how to charge on the road or the RFID cards she'd need. She was thinking of calling for a flatbed. When we finished chatting she was back up to 90% and grateful but I really don't think it was the introduction to EVs she expected, and there's so much more help she could have been given by the dealer to educate and prepare her for charging on longer journeys. These days thankfully most places accept contactless bank cards, but still after a few failed chargers it's easy to max out on pre-authorization fees and the card gets refused. I've had that happen to me and it's only because I had my phone with my card registered in Google Pay that I could start the charge using effectively a different card number. Also we now have some 24 hour helplines and they can usually start a charge remotely. However, these assume you can talk and listen, so for deaf and/or dumb EV drivers they still don't have a way to call for help unless they find another human.

[@scottwarnick6725]

So the stated range on a 2022 model 3 performance is supposed to be around 315 miles and you got 280 miles out of the ful charge charge. Is the drop off mainly from going the constant 70mph? What circumstance gets you the full 315 miles. Thanks, great video!

[@thomasbrown7328]

Right there is loss at highway speeds due to wind resistance. I remember hearing that while combustion cars are most efficient around 55 mph, EV’s get the most range around 22-25 mph due to much less wind resistance and the electric motor not having multiple gears.

[@plixie1]

Also, the 315 stated range is based on a mix of highway driving and city driving. So its gives more range. Also, radio, phone charging, A/C...etc all eats at the battery.

[@LearningFast]

Great content as always. It is amazing how speed affects range and efficiency. I was able to get 171 Wh/mi for 12 miles at an average speed of 60 mph by using the S3XY buttons to disable regen completely and coast in my 2022 Model 3 Performance. This wasn’t downhill either. The start elevation was equal to the finish elevation. However, it did have a significant downhill section that allowed me to increase speed while coasting. Hypermiling can be extremely affective in increasing range. It would be great to see a test like this at a slower speed to see how it compares.

[@TechAndHobby]

Can you explain why disabling regen will help in efficiency?

[@LearningFast]

@@TechAndHobby the full response would take a video to explain fully. However, it all boils down to maintaining a constant speed is the most efficient way to drive for a given average speed. If the downhill portion is the right angle and your speed is low enough you can maintain that average speed while coasting on those downhill parts while expending almost zero energy. According to my testing disabling regen completely with the S3XY buttons appears to not only allow the front axle to “coast” freely but it also appears to allow the rear axle to do something similar. The lack of friction when coasting with regen disabled is uncanny. You can’t coast behind ICE cars like this because you will always need to overtake them. My hope is that other people will test this method and see if they can determine what exactly the motors do while truly coasting. In all of my testing there has been a significant difference in efficiency between coasting with regen turned off completely as opposed to trying to balance in coasting while regen is active. Those two things do not appear to be equal. I hope others will help confirm that.

CAn you explain how to disable regen? I have your exact car and I there is obviously no menu option to do this. Didn’t know it was still possible

@@justinstewart3248 the newer cars do not allow you to disable regen. The Performance model 3 cars have “Track” mode that does allow you to control regen but that mode is less efficient.

I really like the model 3 and want to buy one, but the road trip logistics have me thinking twice. Filling up with gas is so much more convenient than waiting hours for a battery to charge.

[@NoTimeForThatNow]

Honestly, it’s a paradigm shift. I used to think the same thing. But now, I would never willingly go back to gasoline. I have done long multi-state road trips, long daily commutes of 97 miles, as well as regular daily driver type 15 to 20 miles to stores etc. I have never had to wait even one hour for a charge. Most of my charging is at home overnight, so less than 10 seconds to plug and unplug on days that I charge the car. But on long road trips using the superchargers, I usually get a meal or bathroom break while it charges, which takes at or under 30 minutes. The great bonus no one seems to talk about is that there are a ton of FREE destination chargers at places like restaurants, hotels, even Whole Foods where you can charge while you shop, or eat or overnight at the hotel. These are pretty much the same as my wall connector at home, and I try to use them whenever available.

Useful range, but 280 miles on 79kw is average for ev. From other tests the Tesla displayed energy used is upto 10% error, how much energy used to recharge battery?

[@EatMyPropwash]

Subbed because A.) I’m seriously considering this exact vehicle in red multi-coat, and 2.) content is good stuff!

[@Hogger280]

Wouldn't the long range version have gotten 310 to 315 miles?

[@moialder252]

according to many owners on other platforms, might be similar. Many have stated when they go 75-80mph they are lucky to get mid 250 and above range. especially if you factor in ACTUAL real world range where I believe you arent supposed to full charge or fully deplete the battery and given the battery degradation, the calculation going 75-80mph on a LR M3 is 220-240 at best if you factor those in. I almost feel bamboozled as I was about to buy a M3 LR excited about the 340+ range, then realize that was based on going 50mph in perfect conditions.

[@nicholaszeoli6732]

Great video, the EPA estimate is prob inflated on most vehicles, this reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer and the car dealer rep drive the car until the last drop of gas haha. Really thinking of a M3 performance as a car and goal.

[@matteoperron5436]

Do you know if the long range awd has the same pack as this car?

[@shankhadeepshome3982]

They have the same pack and the long range will easily do 40 more miles at that speed.

[@karthik11512]

Should have the same pack now, but I don’t think the LR has the matrix headlights

[@TechAndHobby]

I read somewhere that the long range actually has 82kwh pack

[@albertoalmonte8583]

Does the 2021 M3P come with the same battery pack as this 2022 M3P?

[@llcooljay66]

Autopilot controls the headlights with a Tesla vision car if you’re using it

[@jgleigh]

Yep. You can disable and they'll stay off for that drive, but will re-enable when you re-engage AP.

[@buzzpedrotti5401]

Nice information. Easy to jump to the conclusion. Next test, what is the 80 mph consumption?

[@timandnatd]

When it says you have used 70kwh…doesn’t that include energy regenerated from Regen? That would he on top of what you took out of the battery.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

Love your generosity Kyle. the whole video is worth watching to see to the end where you helped another human being! #bekind

[@garyclark6747]

Great test other than the AP glitch. Did Nissan provide an EVSE with the leaf❓Could lend piece of mind when cash flow is interrupted or slow; which ever the case was. Thanks for the video and helping hand. 👍🏼

[@dariannguyen8272]

do you think the 2022 m3p is faster than the 2019 m3p?

[@ronsexton3685]

Destroyer Gray i believe. Very popular right now!

[@cyco1978]

So the EQE heavier with a 90kwh pack is more efficient @70mph

[@jellybean1660]

Great video! Any opportunity for range test with a MYP pls?? In particular how much impact on the range w huge 21” wheels 🤨

[@baconbigbeats]

At this point, which would you pick: model 3 awd, ionic 5 awd, ev6 awd, or ID4 awd? (Yes I’m in the market, and have driven most.)

[@benjaminwestby5836]

I’d be happy to let my December 2019 build SR+ be in a comparison to a brand new SR+ for you to compare the LFP tech to the older style.

[@brandonhaynes]

We have a Fall of 2021 DMLR Tesla Model 3 and have the same issues with the cruise control/ autopilot intermittently working. It's a pain, especially on a long trip! The auto high beams are a part of the 'vision only' auto pilot system as well....not fun in traffic as people flash you constantly. I'm not sure 'vision only' is ready for prime time IMHO.

[@thatsnothowyousaymyname]

its mid July 2022. should i wait until 2023 to buy model 3 performance? is there a planned big hardware improvement coming?

[@SpottedSharks]

There's always improvement in the pipeline in cars, phones, whatever. If you wait to get the next neat thing you'll never actually buy one.

[@anokhkishore]

If we do multiple short trips and look at the “trips” tab to see how much kwh has been used. Divide it by the percentage battery consumed since last charge to get the battery capacity. Is that a right way ? Cause I’m getting 60-65kwh using the above technique for my m3p 2600 miles (3 months old). How is it different than 100-0 trip ?

[@Arpedk]

32:20, better turning radius? Can you test this, it is my biggest negative on the Model 3. Here in Europe you need better turning radius than the old Model 3 gives you.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Only if you can't drive.

[@Arpedk]

@@rogerstarkey5390 LOL, worst comment ever 🤣

[@rogerjackson4414]

Hey bud, where did you get that CCS1 adapter?
