2022 TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

This video presents a comprehensive 70-MPH highway range test of the 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance. The reviewer highlights significant improvements over older models, including a larger battery pack (estimated 82 kWh gross), a quieter and more refined ride, and a more comfortable suspension, making it ideal for road trips. The dual-motor setup with an induction front motor and permanent magnet rear motor is praised for its efficiency and performance balance. A key takeaway is the real-world range achieved: 280 miles with 79 kWh consumed, averaging 282 Wh/mile. This significantly surpasses the reviewer's own degraded Model 3 Performance (230 miles), demonstrating the benefits of a new battery and improved efficiency. Minor issues encountered included a temporary autopilot malfunction and the car's prediction of not reaching the charger, though the hidden battery buffer ensured completion. The reviewer concludes that while older Teslas have character, newer models offer a more polished and efficient experience.
