New Tesla Model 3 Standard LFP v Long Range v Performance - real world range and charge compared!

Well this was interesting!
I’ve recently been driving the latest Model 3 Standard Plus ( previously known as SR+ ) and it’s remarkably efficient. In the real world I don’t think it can be too far off the bigger battery Longe Range and Performance models for range.
But there’s only one way to see. Drive them side by side in convoy at the same time on the same roads at the same speed!
LFP can be charged to 100% daily compared to the others 90%. It looks like this then equates to the same range! The others only gaining if you charge to trip level.
It’s a cold day including rain sleet and snow but we set off and head for Rugby Services.
We measure their efficiency both with and without supercharging pre-heating. We then work out pro rata range for each.
And yes we checked all tyre pressures. And yes we swapped the order of the cars in convoy to ensure no aero advantages.
Then we can map the charging profile for each car. How long will it take to add 100miles, 150miles and also replenish all that was used to get there?
I found it interesting and I hope you do too.

For me the LFP battery is a game changer. It can be 100 percent charged every time, is more rugged, degrades less quickly than the other type batteries, contains fewer of the precious materials, able to receive twice as many charge cycles in its life time. Yes it is heavier for a given capacity but yet again Tesla have shown the way forward.

Also affected by cold weather more too, do nothing for range, and will only be offered in standard range vehicles. The main reason for the switch is profit margins as they are cheaper. Because of their weight, they'll be kept ro shorter range vehicles. They are also not exclusive to Tesla, and you can expect them in ither standard range vehicles in the future. Great that battery tech is moving forward though, the real jump forward will be the Panasonic 4680 cylindrical battery, which can store 5 times as much power as current Teslas can.

LFPs degrade when excessively charged to 100% too. Not as bad as Li Ion, but quite a lot, do your research. The only reason Tesla is suggesting to charge to 100% is so that the BMS knows where is up and down. On LFP, anything below 90% and above 10% is almost exactly the same voltage so unless you do 10-100% charges the BMS is screwed. But 100% is not good for LFPs either. Also, even at 100% charging and almost all DC charging you can still expect maximum 10-12% degradation on Li Ion after 150-200,000km, which is more than most people do in the lifetime of the car... Maybe 5% on LFP, not a difference there.

Terrific video and comparison! Love my 2021 M3 SR+ and have found it to be a very road worthy family (2 adults, 2 teenage boys) vehicle during the 9months / 10,000 miles I’ve driven it. It’s been on a few round trips of 1,000-1,200 miles. I’ve got a spring trip from California to Kentucky (~2,500 miles one way) coming up and I’m very excited to see how the car performs. Thanks for the great work and enduring freezing cold! Stay warm.

Another great video. I understand the value of the LFP batteries being able to charge to 100% on a daily basis, but a journey like this for me would be a proper road trip where I would charge my LR AWD M3 to 100% . So it would be good to see the comparison with 100% charge in all cars. Maybe a journey of 275 miles including charging .

But I was actually pleasently surprised that the distances I get in the winter aren't too far off what your M3P gets in the winter. I think realistically I get about 200 miles now when it's freezing outside but then my battery also now only shows about 280 to 286 miles when fully charged due to my 30,000 miles on the clock . In the summer I can just about manage 230 and if Im drving very carefully aroundf 240. Would be great to see a comparision between the old and new to see what data you discover.

Another great analysis RSymons. But I guess the results are as expected. Basically, all Model 3s are rear wheel drive. The dual motor M3s have front wheel traction control and do not drive the front wheels unless the rears slip. The dual motors are heavier so would be slightly less efficient that the rear wheel only drive. The driving conditions were quite benign and wouldn't have engaged traction control at all, so the front motors never drew any power - only if preconditioning was turned on prior to supercharging. Congratulations win the success of the channel.

Excellent episode! I would add that if a driver was attempting a long - one or more stop to supercharge journey - you might at least start off from home with 100%. So the Lon Range may get another 30 miles before needing to stop (or get away from the charger earlier) and similarly for the Intercooled Turbo. I mean Performance. However, if you don't care for spleen shattering acceleration and can do without an active sub and front fogs then the "base model" with heated steering wheel, electric boot lid makes a compelling package for the price.

I'm in Oz and got the M3LR - it's great (if you have the extra cash for the LR) - although the extra juice in reserve is for running the aircon in summer (this zero degrees stuff is fairly irrelevant when there are more real world 30-40 or more degree days..). The SR+ would also be fine - just would spend a bit more time at super chargers, but boy they are quick.. a bit too quick sometimes!

Would be interesting to find out what the LR on 18s would have got compared to 19”s… And did you take into consideration degradation? (Or very similar mileage in 3 cars?). And those total ranges on P and LR.. based on the 90%? As if I was going to do a 200m trip, especially in winter, would charge to 100%… Thanks again! Keep at it!! 👍👍

@sebstott3573 2 жыл бұрын

I wish people would more often quote time to add 100 miles of range. Time from 10-80% penalizes large batteries and doesn't take into account efficiency. It also gives a sense of what a road trip would look like if you were trying to reach the destination as quickly as possible (short charges keeping the battery under 70%).

I think the most valuable data, subjectively, are the recharge times...The efficiency and relevant range is heavily affected by wheel size in this case...in addition to other factors such as AWD, weight etc. I bet having the LR Dual Motor on 18s would make a sound case for the upgrade still (+the acceleration fun factor). Performance is just too much fun hahah. Love the data. Thanks for your hard work, RSEV Team!

@audunskilbrei8279 2 жыл бұрын

Keep in mind that the recharge times as they are presented here are also affected by wheel size. If the LR was fitted with 18" Aero wheels the "Time to add 100 miles" would be shorter. Although it would still probably be ~9 minutes. I don't imagine it would make that much difference. My takeaway from this is unless you need 4WD go for the SR. If you want to have fun go for performance. The Long range, at these prices, falls between two chairs for me.(Even though I actually own a LR myself. haha.)

@nettlesoup 2 жыл бұрын

For me, two years ago the LR was the only viable choice for occasional trips from the southeast to deepest darkest West Wales. It's still a real time saver on frequent journeys via the southern stretch of the M25 where Superchargers are few and far between (nothing between Heathrow and Maidstone that's easily accessible from the motorway at least). Speaking as someone who doesn't have home charging and relies entirely on public charging, the ability to go several days without having to venture out at night in the cold to a nearby slow charger and wake up early in the morning to pick the car up again before the car park charges come into force is worth the extra few thousand quid. LR with power boost is also very good fun and the 4WD gives me even more peace of mind in the snow. Things are improving constantly of course. Now there's a Supercharger on the west coast of Wales and one day very soon, GridServe will persuade ABB to pull their fingers out and work out how to get their chargers delivering more than the paltry 20 or 43 kW currently available at Cobham and Clacket Lane services. Until then I'm sailing by and getting places quickly and with less worries. In summary, yes, I'm in the 10% that probably really need LR, while for most, as you said, Standard Range works great.

Great comparison, I recently got a 2020 M3P, just wondering how much difference pre-conditioning makes to overall efficiency in this cold weather? We don’t currently have a home charger (about to move house) so it’s a bit of a catch 22 as I’m not sure fully pre-conditioning would be worth it when not plugged in. Currently struggling to get below 350 wh/m even when driving conservatively. Is this likely because of the lack of pre-conditioning or are the pre-heat pump models just that much less efficient?
