How Efficient is a Tesla Model 3 in Winter? (UK Road Trip)

My first Winter road trip in my Tesla Model 3 where I cover the costs, charging time and how the cold weather in the UK makes a difference to the range. How long will it take to complete 400 miles in a Tesla Model 3, and more importantly how easy is it? How does the cold affect winter efficiency in a Tesla Model 3?
In this video I will be driving nearly 400 miles round trip road trip in the UK (York to Gloucester) during our winter period (the UK winter is pretty mild compared to colder countries around the world). I will be covering how I planned, prepped and completed the drive in my Long Range Model 3 in one day. What problems I faced, how much it cost me to charge and what difference the cold weather made to my efficiency when compared to my 1,000 mile summer road trip. I wonder how these temps would compare to really cold conditions #teslamodel3 #tesla #roadtrip
Thanks for watching, Chris.

4:03 that's me passing in the BMW!! I thought it was you when I passed :D

[@SpawnPoiint]

No way. That’s awesome 😂

[@OrbitZeus]

@@SpawnPoiint there’s me watching your video thinking ‘oh that car looks just like mine... wait a minute... that car is mine’ 😂. Your Tesla is awesome to look at by the way, so aesthetically pleasing with all the little mods!!

[@kvnsns82]

This topic -- performance during winter -- is one of the topics I am most interested in since the local weather here in the U.S. is rather cold in winter (lows of -10C), so thank you for making this video!

[@alinelson7524]

Winter Tesla! Great vid as always👍 Picked up my Model 3 LR just before Xmas and I am running at around 320 wh/m so far, so your video has come at just the right time and shows me that I’m there abouts with my consumption, so I’m happy with that. I agree with you about the heating - I would rather be comfortable than worry about a few extra miles of range!

[@colinlee5248]

Excellent video, very technical. I haven't built up sufficient courage to use auto pilot as when I first used it it just me freaked out!! Re the mud flaps when I collected the car I didn't notice until 3 months later that only the front flaps were attached. Looking forward to your mud flap video!!

[@brandon89016]

I have been binging all of your model 3 videos and they're all wonderful! Thank you so much for being so informative and honest when it comes to this car. I can not wait to get mine, also "winter tesla."

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks mate, nice to hear that!

[@philc5605]

Hi Chris, I just wanted to say I am loving your channel. I'm currently a Mercedes driver looking to go Tesla asap and I'm finding your videos so useful. I really like your presentation style and appreciate the level of detail. Many thanks.

[@SpawnPoiint]

That's awesome Phil, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment too!

Winter Tesla! - Have seen yours parked up at the pipe once or twice. Your videos are great and tipped me towards ordering the 2021 Long Range Model 3. I used your code and picked it up on 23rd December. What. A. Car!!!!

[@SpawnPoiint]

That's awesome Luke, nice to hear of another one around this area. I assume you're local, so give me a wave next time . EDIT - if you're on Instagram, can you message me? I might have a favour to ask (no pressure).

Water Tesla! Great viewing, many thanks. Share your frustration re lockdown and no driving. Eventually picked up my M3 Extended range on 30 December - and have only managed to drive 215 miles! Must of that was on pick up day. Sitting in it on the drive is not the same as driving.

Winter Tesla. Really appreciate the videos and advice in them. I have the new model 3 from December but not managed to get below 300Wh/mile yet commuting to work. I think battery pre-conditioning is essential before a drive in the winter.

Thank you. Yes definitely. Also you’ll be impressed once summer comes though.

Winter Tesla. Nice little video and some real world figures! Works out about 95mpg compared to diesel so even if you were paying for ‘fuel’ it is still a lot more efficient.

Gloucester services are the KING of service stations! Great vid- really enjoyed seeing the reality of EV ownership. Hoping to take the plunge later this year. From a fellow Yorkie.

Winter Tesla! Another super episode Chris. I have the Long Range M3 too. But not in the cool white that your M3 is! Ours is Midnight Silver Metallic that my wife constantly reminds me is "Grey. It's grey Bob!" Well I did offer to order in White which wasn't standard when we confirmed our order, but she said "It'll look dirty all the time". And baulked at the additional £2.5k for the multicoat Red. Black? "No, that'll only look dirty quickly too. Remember our Golf?" You can't win. I definitely need to take a leaf (no pun intended!) out of your book and start my own KZbin channel to get some more of those referral links going. I've just one 1,000 free supercharger miles to go now that runs out in March.

[@SpawnPoiint]
