2022/23 NEW TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE REAL-WORLD RANGE, EFFICIENCY AND CHARGE SPEED TEST

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive real-world test of the 2022/23 79kWh Tesla Model 3 Performance. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive acceleration and sustained performance, noting it rivals heavily modified combustion engine cars and handles track use well. While the reviewer generally praises the Model 3 Performance, they observe that its efficiency is slightly lower than the Long Range variant, attributing this to larger wheels and potentially the rear motor's power, averaging around 261 Wh/mile on the initial trip and 273 Wh/mile on a less favorable return journey. Real-world range estimates hover around 267-300 miles (100% to 0%) depending on conditions. Charging speeds on a V3 Supercharger are noted as very fast, peaking around 229 kW and reaching 80% in approximately 30 minutes from 15%, though the reviewer suggests preconditioning the battery can slightly improve this but at the cost of energy. The reviewer also emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of home charging, especially with solar power, making the driving experience nearly free.
