One important benefit of the SR though: being a LFP battery means charging to 100% as a matter of routine which gives a day-to- day range comparable to the LR.

Exactly. No battery conservation regime required. >250 miles waiting on the driveway every morning. What's not to love about that? I think I drove more than 250 miles in one stint a couple of times in the last 5 years (House-hunting in South West France, trying to get there from Newhaven-Dieppe to Bergerac as quickly as possible on the (beautiful) Autoroute). A realistic 250 miles plus an anxiety buffer of 30 miles suits me down to the ground for 99.999% of my driving.

Good point. You can charge an LR to 100% just before a long trip, but not every day. I think the range of the SR is plenty for many people. I have an LR Model Y rather than an SR, but that is mostly because I wanted AWD.
@SamiPaju6 ай бұрын
I’ve been trying to find an answer to this, and the best I’ve found is that LFP batteries take a bigger hit in range and charging speeds in freezing temperatures compared to NMC batteries. But it’s tough to find any proper testing with exact data and numbers. Anyway, my point being that despite the advantage you mentioned, LFP battery range might not actually be that good in cold weather.
@welsley33006 ай бұрын
Interesting review. I currently have a 3.5 year old Model 3 Long Range. One thing I consider is the residual value after say 4 years of ownership. The LR should be worth more when I come to sell it. Maybe 4k more? Therefore over the 4 years, the ‘real’ cost is an extra 6k that would give me faster 0-60, longer range, better stereo and 4WD. Plus the battery range will degrade over time so the real world range will remain stronger. On this basis I’d go for LR again. Happy to be challenged on these numbers!

I drive everywhere no issue, distance is not a problem in the RWD. Looks like the new one may get slightly more miles, but not much.

Especially if you've never been that used to a Tesla, as he hasn't. Though he has test driven both those 2023 options now and loves them both, but also loves the sharper looks of the 2024s.

For company car and for people who drive long distance very often, the LR model worth the extra £10k. Also, in countries with snow, the AWD LR could be crucial. For me, the SR Highland consumes 14% battery during a 70km daily commute. I got 3,500km in 2 months and the avergae consumption is 12,9kwh/100km. That's 450km range on a single charge in average. I've not used superchargers yet. Only charging in my garage at 16A 3,6kw/h (slowest possible wall charger). I don't even need an expensive higher capacity wall charger. In 8 hours during the night it charges 45% which covers 3 days of my commute. I've already saved over €200 on petrol. Insurance a little bit higher but there's no road tax and annual maintenance. So for people like me it's a no brainer to have an EV. Fast, quite, comfortable, cheap to run. Thanks for the video, it shows I've made the right decision with the SR 😊

I think Pro rotaring the battery % doesn’t give accurate results of real world range. So the car’s range should be greater at 50-100% than say when it’s 0-30%. It’s not an even spread. But happy to hear other views. I am basing this on my e-bike li-ion battery. I get a hell of lot more range at 50-100% than I do once the battery gets below 30%. Also it depends on - terrain I cycle on, how much weight the bike is carrying, wind resistance. How hard I ride it. All these are relevant to a Tesla’s real world range.

Charging the standard range to 100% means 286 miles. Charging the long range to 80% on a daily basis means 281 miles range. Therefore your actual daily range is practically the same.. only on a journey would the long range have an advantage, except for power of course...
@RSEV6 ай бұрын
Yes this is basically it. But if you had an EV with an optional 20% boost in range sometimes, it’s worth it to some people (like me, coving 1,000 miles a week… but I’m a bit exceptional)

You mean to LFP? Probably not for a few years. You understand that the energy density on the LFP is quite lower than with the NCx tech, so for the size, it is still not doable. The future is to use 55 and maybe 70 kWh with LFP but also to improve efficiency (lower computer consumption, better engines, etc), that way NCx could end. But I imagine it will take >5 years to get there.

Great test. Interesting that there seems to be really no relevant effciency difference between my Model 3 LR from late 2021 and the Highland regarding range. I had real world range of 569 km when new. Now 5% degradation after 60,000km.

Would still like you to a full motorway efficiency test. I always say take 50 miles off any EV 's quoted "WLTP" for a real world range estimate and that is what you have shown. But this was also done in 9 degC ambient temps so summer driving it will get very close to or even over 300 miles I suspect.

Day to day local commuting smaller battery more than adequate. If you do any long range travels at all, get the bigger battery. I bought 60kwh S in 2014, totally fine for city (Dallas). Huge pain for driving to Austin or Houston. Recently upgraded to 90kwh battery.
@OneThousand985 ай бұрын
For long trips the SR is weirdly the better choice. It has a smaller battery so you need to stop to charge more often, but the charging takes less time as there is less battery to fill, and you can supercharge to 100% unlike the LR that only lets you supercharge to 80-90%. Over a long enough distance, both cars arrive at the same time.
@TheVorst5 ай бұрын
@OneThousand98 .The SR Highland Model 3 charges to a max of 170KW. The long range to 250Kw (NMC) on a V3 charger. With the new V4 charger probably around 300KW. That is almost double the speed. Since the 60KWh LFP battery it is smaller, it will slowdown charging quicker also. But most chargers in Europe are V2 anyway. So the difference in the short term is minimal. I bought a Model 3 SR highland myself, and I'm prepared for that.
@mathiasjensen44346 ай бұрын
Is the SR not on LFP and the LR on NMC. So the SR "should" have a longer lifespan on the battery than the LR (if the charged the same)

Great video Richard and Gintz as always. One question that wasn't answered in this and similar videos, whats the expected resale value at the end of a lease. Presumably the SR takes a bigger hit due to the smaller batter and any degradation would have a larger impact on a smaller battery! Seeing as you are in the used EV market, you are just the man to answer this question. I hope you do soon :) Thanks :)
@powersurge68786 ай бұрын
That's a very hard question to answer because a lot can happen in a few years that will affect the resale prices. We can predict and speculate but the simple answer is that nobody knows.
@robinisathakur6 ай бұрын
Pricing second hand cars with the battery degradation on EVs is going to be hard for a while. What are the prices like for an iPhone 11 compared to an iPhone 15? I suspect that resale values will change to become much more like phones due to the cost of replacing the battery unless Tesla come up with a standard much cheaper way of replacing it with a reconditioned battery

@@RSEV it largely also depends on what demand and people’s attitudes are to EVs in 5 years time once the rebates start to truly taper off. Currently in the US we get a rebate when buying a new or second hand one, but this will not always be the case.
@Paul-Thomas-LifeCoach6 ай бұрын
Hey Richard, I think you missed the point I was making. I was referring to the current situation where there are SR and LR's out there. If you have two that have exactly the same age and mileage, are they the some price 2nd hand or is there an allowance added for the larger battery capacity? Conversely, is the SR cheaper than and identical LR due to a smaller battery and therefore potential larger gross loss in range with degradation. I'm not ask you to speculate on the used values 3 years into the future. I'm asking what is you experience with the factors I've listed above. Would be nice to know, if you had that information. :) Keep up the great work.
@johnl.75826 ай бұрын
Nice comparison. The one thing you missed out is that the LR should should only be routinely charged to 80% (100% for the SR) due to different battery chemistry, and the SR in this test had....81% of the range. So really there's nothing in it for daily driving. I have a 2020 LR and need to replace the second car, think I'll get the SR and save myself 10k.

I bought the LR three month ago because of (a) the AWD and (b) -to be honest- because of the 498 horsepower, which is faaaaaar more than the SR has. And YES, it makes a lot of fun to do the 0-100kmh in a little bit more than 4s (I am always under the promised 4,4s...). I do not care about the range, my battery level is set to 80percent every morning when I drive to work ;-)
