WE WRECKED THE RANGE ON THIS TESLA MODEL 3

EV Channels Review

This video details the process of modifying a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range with new 19-inch aero wheels, Continental Pure Contact tires, and BONOSS wheel spacers (15mm front, 25mm rear). The reviewer notes a significant decrease in efficiency after the wheel and tire upgrade, moving from 258 Wh/mile to 281 Wh/mile. The addition of wheel spacers further impacted efficiency, increasing it to 291 Wh/mile, with slightly higher ambient temperatures also noted during testing. While the aesthetic improvements are evident, the primary takeaway is the negative effect on the vehicle's range due to increased drag from wider tires and the outward stance of the wheels. The video also touches on the installation process, including torque specifications and potential pitfalls, and promises further build updates.
