NEW TESLA MODEL 3 LONG RANGE 10% ROAD TRIP EV CHALLENGE: HOW FAR YOU CAN GO BETWEEN CHARGERS

EV Channels Review

The reviewer puts the new Tesla Model 3 Refresh (Highland) Dual Motor Long Range through its paces in a 10% road trip challenge, focusing on charging speed and efficiency. While praising the car's quiet ride, high quality, and overall driving dynamics, calling it an "ultimate form of mindless transportation," the reviewer expresses significant disappointment with its charging performance. The car failed to reach expected peak charging speeds, tapering off quickly and performing worse than previous generation Model 3s and even some competitors. Despite this, the Model 3 achieved an "excellent" 100 miles in the 10% challenge, indicating strong road-tripping capability, though the reviewer questions if the rear-wheel-drive version might offer better value given the charging limitations. The reviewer hopes Tesla prioritizes charging speed improvements in future iterations.
