TESLA MODEL 3 RHD, OIL AND BATTERIES | FULLY CHARGED

EV Channels Review

Robert Llewellyn shares his initial impressions of his new right-hand drive Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD. He expresses significant enthusiasm, noting its compact feel and simplicity compared to the Model S. The review highlights a rapid charging test where the Model 3 achieved 111 kW, adding approximately 450 miles of range in an hour, surpassing his previous Model S. While acknowledging the WLTP range of 300+ miles, he anticipates a more realistic figure closer to 4 miles per kWh. Cost savings are also a key takeaway, with the Model 3 lease being half the price of his Model S, and insurance costs reduced by over £300. He plans to primarily charge at home using solar power. The review also touches upon broader industry trends, referencing a BNP Paribas report on the declining economics of oil versus EVs and the crucial role of battery storage in supporting the UK's National Grid, as evidenced by a recent power cut.
