New Tesla Model 3 Standard LFP v Long Range v Performance - real world range and charge compared!

[@redjohn20001]

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]

Agree exciting times ahead 😀

[@guybrushthreepwood3002]

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]

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.

Your convoy comparisons are always some of the most interesting and well made real world testing!

[@Llamapup]

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 .

[@ezpoppy55]

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.

If you are not in a hurry, do not pre heat. It is a waste of energy and money, and it is better for the battery health a lower temperature than a higher one. It is well known that Li-ion batteries prefer soft temperatures like 16-22 degrees Celsius. Regards from Spain.

[@Clayspeed]

Regarding @3:02 My 2021 Model 3 performance shows 273 miles of range at 90% SOC. Curious as to why this one shows only 263. Very happy with the real world performance in this case regardless.

[@twotone3871]

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.

[@sebstott3573]

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]

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

[@bigdougscommentary5719]

Excellent to see "time to add miles" as a stat ! Hopefully you will be leading others reviewers doing that.

[@MCSMIK]

Great video, once again proves the point that for 90% of people the Rear Wheel Drive Model 3 (or old SR+ name) is more than enough. Less battery to drag around and better efficiency for shorter daily trips. Costs less to buy and costs less to run. Unless you're made of money I don't know why you'd care about more than Standard in UK really...

[@nettlesoup]

For me, two years ago the LR was the only viable choice for occasional trips from the southeast to deepest darkest West Wales. It's still a real time saver on frequent journeys via the southern stretch of the M25 where Superchargers are few and far between (nothing between Heathrow and Maidstone that's easily accessible from the motorway at least). Speaking as someone who doesn't have home charging and relies entirely on public charging, the ability to go several days without having to venture out at night in the cold to a nearby slow charger and wake up early in the morning to pick the car up again before the car park charges come into force is worth the extra few thousand quid. LR with power boost is also very good fun and the 4WD gives me even more peace of mind in the snow. Things are improving constantly of course. Now there's a Supercharger on the west coast of Wales and one day very soon, GridServe will persuade ABB to pull their fingers out and work out how to get their chargers delivering more than the paltry 20 or 43 kW currently available at Cobham and Clacket Lane services. Until then I'm sailing by and getting places quickly and with less worries. In summary, yes, I'm in the 10% that probably really need LR, while for most, as you said, Standard Range works great.

[@Bubblegummonsters]

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.

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............

[@ouethojlkjn]

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.

I've had some after sales issues with it and the garage has agreed that I can return it to them and take my deposit back.

[@illharvey]

Great comparison, I recently got a 2020 M3P, just wondering how much difference pre-conditioning makes to overall efficiency in this cold weather? We don’t currently have a home charger (about to move house) so it’s a bit of a catch 22 as I’m not sure fully pre-conditioning would be worth it when not plugged in. Currently struggling to get below 350 wh/m even when driving conservatively. Is this likely because of the lack of pre-conditioning or are the pre-heat pump models just that much less efficient?

[@ThisMoth]

Hoping for an answer to this one.

[@TheJAMF]

9:20 Are the "Time to add nn miles" tables swapped? It looks like the preheated (lower "yellow" table) charging sessions took longer. It they do take longer, you'd want to save time on the journey by not preheating

[@RSEV]

I don’t think you’re quite understanding. I’ll try clarify. If you are to continue journey and then need to preheat for another charging session again (rather than just going home for example) it will use more energy and therefor you need to charge another couple minutes to compensate (in advance) for that useage. The charging speeds and time for both is assuming the car has preheated for charging, like it will always try and do

[@TheJAMF]

@@RSEV Aha, IC. I wonder how much longer it would take then, if you would trick the car into not preheating, by setting a local destination manually. As an experiment.

I think the most valuable data, subjectively, are the recharge times...The efficiency and relevant range is heavily affected by wheel size in this case...in addition to other factors such as AWD, weight etc. I bet having the LR Dual Motor on 18s would make a sound case for the upgrade still (+the acceleration fun factor). Performance is just too much fun hahah. Love the data. Thanks for your hard work, RSEV Team!

[@audunskilbrei8279]

Keep in mind that the recharge times as they are presented here are also affected by wheel size. If the LR was fitted with 18" Aero wheels the "Time to add 100 miles" would be shorter. Although it would still probably be ~9 minutes. I don't imagine it would make that much difference. My takeaway from this is unless you need 4WD go for the SR. If you want to have fun go for performance. The Long range, at these prices, falls between two chairs for me.(Even though I actually own a LR myself. haha.)

@@audunskilbrei8279 You have to keep in mind this LR has the 75kWh battery. They have now transitioned to the 80kWh ones.

Can you fit the SRP aero wheels to a performance, or do the calipers get in the way?

[@RSEV]

Caliper stop big… but aftermarket 18” wheels can be sourced that fit (I think)

[@melcragg7814]

@@RSEV Thanks. I thought so. I was hoping to get something lighter and more aero.

Thank you for this video. Much needed. Now waiting for Model Y comparisons ones you can get your hands on it.
